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.
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. :)
Oh I agree. It's just coming across as plot-y.

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?
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.
Didn't they show it today? With the ear buds and playlist and everything?

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.
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.
The way I see it right now is that they are already on the road to it moving beyond friendship. I don't think either Gabi or Chad are being considerate of JJ. Chad had a perfectly okay friendship with Belle which played much differently than this.

I was talking about her spending the night at JJ's side. Sounds like she spent more time with Chad today, but I haven't watched yet. I'm going off the PBP.

I don't understand why dumb Brady forgive Theresa for horrible things she did to John and Xander, but Deimos can't forgive Nicole? Oh I forgot, Nicole has to suffer and Theresa gets kisses and attention. :drunk:

Deimos needs to go jump off a cliff. Such a low blow with the no child wanting Nicole for a mother. :flipoff: I so need Eric back and a Ericole reunion. :wub2:

Love JJ and Gabi. So sweet of her to be with him all night. :wub2:

Really enjoyed seeing Lucas with Jennifer.

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:
I think it's a fair assumption but we never saw them confirm it with Derrick. Either they concluded it's not him or it wasn't a big deal to them that he blabbed about it. I remember Sonny saying he was glad the truth was out in the open after it happened.

I got to watch about half of today so far, and wooooah, I found the scenes with Deimos so painful to watch. He really turned around and railed on Nicole and I just wanted him to shut the fuck up.

Normally I think JJ and Gabi are cute, but that's where it ends. They haven't developed them enough for melodramatic bedside scenes to work for me at all. I did think the idea of sharing headphones was cute, but it was ruined by her blubbering.

The few PaulSon scenes were about what I expected. I didn't love or hate them, but I am still all for the idea of one or the other of them always missing their "chance" so to speak because as I've said before, I like angst. I didn't get to see anything past when Derrick walked in the door yet. I agree it's way too early to introduce a viable third party but as of right now, I don't think that's what Derrick is. I assume this is about all we'll see of him, unless I missed some kind of announcement about he length of Spencer Neville's stay. I think it's more a catalyst that was merely meant to show more clearly that Sonny does realize he might want to be with Paul after all. Isn't this the first time since he's been back that he's actually admitted it?

I think Nicole should kept her promise to Chloe. It's up to Chloe to tell Deimos that he's the father of her baby not Nicole.

So are you saying that because we didn't see Gabi at JJ's side all night it didn't happen? Otherwise, I guess I'm confused. Yes, she spent time with Chad today and thanked him for getting her to take a break from the hospital. She also talked about JJ and Chad said he'd doing anything to help JJ because he was Abby's brother.

I get that you don't like where you think it's going. That's fine. But my comments are about what is actually showing onscreen, not what the implications might be down the line. I haven't seen anything that I think is "crossing the line" at this point. It might happen tomorrow, or two weeks from now. Or never. But, IMO, it hasn't happened yet.

I agree with what you say about Deimos. In my opnion Nicole would be the best mother to her kids if they didnt died. She has a gold of heart to care and love kids. She deserves to be a mother not Theresa.

I wonder if they are changing up the Deimos & Nicole dynamic since
Eric is on his way back to Salem.

Absolutely. I hated they make Theresa to be a mother when she never let Tate's grandparents to hold him for once. She deserves to lose everything and Nicole desetves to have her own kid and happiness with the man who never throw her past to her face and love her for who she is, inside out.

Here's my complaint: we see Gabi with Chad all the time in contrast to the lack of scenes she is getting with her boyfriend for almost a year.

Okay. I agree in terms of everything from before a couple of months ago. JJ and Gabi were afterthoughts at best, although we didn't see Gabi with Chad then.

Since then, we know JJ's been out of town and then fairly consumed with the villains crisis. We did see them together in the hotel room when JJ was off shift. And yes, Chad and Gabi have spent a lot of time together, but as plot-y as it might be, there is an explanation for it beyond "they just can't stay away from each other."
