Today's episode was annoying for the most part, but there was some enjoyable stuff.

I loved Gabi sharing headphones with JJ so he could listen to the playlist she made for him. That was equal parts cheesy and sweet and made for a really touching scene. I like them as a couple, so it's nice to see them getting some important scenes like this, even if JJ is in a coma. LOL.

Paul and Sonny's conversation made for a few good scenes too, but UGH at this Derrick kid showing back up. I'm sure I'm not going to like where this is headed. I just want Paul and Sonny together!

Deimos and Nicole's fight was stupid. I absolutely despise everything about this story. And that comment he made about no child ever wanting her as a mother is something that would have NEVER come out of Eric Brady's mouth! Hurry home, please!

It's ridiculous Chad is spending all this time with Ari instead of JJ and Sonny. It seems like Gabi wasn't with a JJ long before she left the hospital. What's wrong with her staying at the hospital? When did Chad appoint himself Gabi's watchdog?
Jennifer told Julie that Gabi was with JJ all night. From what I read, it sounded like Chad was just getting Gabi to take a break.

Personally, I think Chad is acting like a good friend. I've seen nothing that indicates he views Gabi as anything other than that. Or that Gabi sees it differently.
Chad is coming across as a little lonely to me. Not that he's into Gabi but just the emptiness you'd expect when your spouse is gone. I'd like to see him with some other people though.

Deimos, Deimos, Deimos, you insufferable narcissistic pig. Low blows to Nicole. Maybe now she'll stop being the wounded bird, get herself a puppy, drink MANY martinis and exact all sorts of old Nicole revenge. It's past time.

THEN Eric can swoop in and do his magic.

Kudos to VI and Ari. Well done. Made me scream at the telly even. Finally (perhaps), a s/l that will work. BAD Deimos. BAD Nicole. Give me some soap suds, please!

I love Nicole but I don't feel sorry for her, because she let man to control her and throw all the nasty words at her. She needs to be strong and smart than being used and pethetic.

Ya know Nicole, maybe you should have made sure to speak to Chloe first then told Deimos if you were going to tell him. Just a thought.
Hell to pay with that, indeed.

So Chad just said he has plenty of help with the nanny and the staff and Harold. So why did he need Ciara before and then Lucas and Adrienne? So much plot.

Since they made Derrick be the guy that pops back up, it doesn't make any sense to me.

Why would Paul even be friends with him? He's the reason that article happened and everything blew up in Paul's face.

Why would the only reason Sonny has a problem with Paul and Derrick "hanging out" be that he has feelings for Paul? If it were me I'd be more upset that Paul seems just fine and dandy with the guy who pretty much betrayed them both.

If they wanted to bring in a guy so that Sonny could appear jealous, it should've been someone new. That old photographer from that photoshoot Paul did back in January, for example??
The reporter who outed the "affair" between Paul and Will said he talked to someone at the hotel but he never said it was Derrick. I remember Paul and Sonny assumed it was him but then later Paul started to date Derrick, Sonny and Will went on a double date with Paul and him, and it was never brought up. If it wasn't an issue back then, why would it be an issue now?
The reporter told them it was someone at the hotel, didn't he? Who else would it have been but Derrick. Paul suggested it was him and knowing that Derrick had previously blabbed things he shouldn't lead me to believe it was him that spoke to the reporter. I assumed that was what we were supposed to take from it anyway.

And it didn't make any sense to me when it wasn't a problem for them last year either. :shrug:
AND: Derrick got all that info from Will that he used to get close to Paul (the stuff about Paul's dream of playing catch with his dad) & Paul was pissed at the time that Will gave him the personal info about Paul (Not that it was anything worth getting upset about)& that Derrick used it.

And the bellboy is now an administrative assistant at the hospital???

Just seems ridiculous to bring him back.

One small detail: In their previous backstory, one of Sonny's issues (& supposedly the reason it didn't work) was that Paul would never go out in public with Sonny, they only met in his hotel room. Now, they hug out together Comicon???? Oh & btw, this is my BIG problem with PaulSon & my lack of interest or investment: We've been TOLD they were in love & had some great affair. We never saw it. Storytelling 101 Ms. Higley: SHOW, DON"T TELL. Paul told Derrick Sonny needs to move on to something that has nothing to do with his past and I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

Today's whole ep was a bit melodramatic & blown out of proportion: Deimos thinks Nicole is his "soulmate?" I literally spit out my drink at that one. Sonny wants to talk about the "Moment we shared"? Holding hands while Paul bled? It wasn't like they almost kissed, or almost confessed their feelings or or or.... almost anything. It didn't really feel like "a moment," so what's the big deal?

I actually liked the scene wit Gabi/Chad/Ari & Julie/Jen/JJ. LOVED the look Julie as giving Gabi....lol I like the Gabi/JJ scene (except for that whole Selena Gomez bit. Stereotype, much?) I even liked Lucas and Adrianne. I liked seeing Sonny & Adrianne together, but the dialogue was hideous

I wish it could be someone other than Gabi. She bores me tears.

LOL@ how Julie looked at Gabi today.

Jen told Julie Gabi was at the hospital all night. But Chad clearly has nothing else to do than hang with Gabi lately.
My problem is that they say Gabi is with JJ, but they never show it.

So Nicole telling Deimos Chloe went to NYC to her parents ended up being a big mistake. Deimos sending a thug for her. This guy.

You might be right, but these constant scenes of Chad, Gabi, and Ari bonding? We never saw that with JJ. I'm cynical, but it's hard for to buy they are just being friends spending all this time together, falling asleep on the couch together, and on Wednesday, Chad cupping her face like he used to do with Abby.

I'd be fine seeing him with other people. I just don't think there's been anything inappropriate with him and Gabi. I kind of hate the idea that a man and a woman can't just be friends and support each other.

And yes, I know the speculation is that it moves past that. I get it. But it's not there yet and I am not a fan of criticizing perfectly appropriate interactions because of where people think it might be going, or even where we know it will be going. And I'm not saying you are doing that, just speaking generally. :)

I wonder if JJ knew where Abby is and that's why he said I'm so sorry Abby.

Actually we did see some of it with JJ a long time ago - like a year at this point. It's just we didn't haven't seen any of it in a long time.

None of the things you described are outside the bounds of friendship. I get that people expect it to move past friendship and it might very well happen. My point is that it hasn't happened yet and I feel like scenes that are just friendship are being viewed as something else because of the assumption that at some point in the future it will be something else.
