Thanks, I do agree Chad is lonely. Gabi doesn't sound like she's seeking out Chad. It seems to be more on Chad's side. The shipper in me wanted the last scene to only be about Thomas and Abby, but with the flower touch it became about Gabi too, at least a little bit. I just wish Chad would mention Abby more and how much he misses her too. He was all about grieving her when she first died and no, I don't want him miserable. But for the last month or so he really hasn't acted or vocalize that he misses her. When he doesn't talk about her until someone brings her name up and is happy with Gabi, Andre, or whoever my emotional (not rational) reaction is that he is over her and has forgotten her. Maybe it's too painful for him to think about Abby, but I haven't seen any indication of that onscreen. It doesn't sit well with me how fast this is happening after Abby's "death", so that bugs me but I know they wanted to make a story for when Abby comes back (though I think there were other routes they could have taken).
How long somebody "mourns" on a soap is a double-edged sword. I mean, I watched Kayla mourn for months - like being sad and teary almost all the time (and some still think it wasn't enough). I was actually relieved when she started coming out of that because it was hard to watch her be that devastated constantly.

But, I do agree that the writing has probably missed the boat a little on showing Chad still missing her. But those are subtle touches that this show doesn't do well, so I guess I'd say not to take it as meaning anything, really. Unless you are Daniel, you are kind of forgotten after the whole death thing. ;)

And yeah, they could have gone other directions, I'm sure. But I still contend that if you have to have Dena as you're writer, going in another direction is far scarier. :)
Now that I've thought about it a little bit, it might have been a good thing for Chad not to mention Abby so much onscreen (before her return) as it could have been overdone to the point that people got sick of it, especially after the heavy nature of the Chabby story through the spring and summer.

Thank you, your posts made me calm down and look at this more reasonably. :)

Thank you JCP.

I thought Eduardo was going to try to be honest. Draggy episode, too much H. family.

I am glad unsettling news was not about something to do with Joey and Jade. I hope Dena is not planning something bad with Steve with his physical.

The show wasn't too bad and good background music, but too much time taken up with boring new comers.

I like Eduardo, but the rest can go. I wonder if what Eduardo sets up is what makes Shane have to come back to Salem after his first visit.

Actually this story bugs me more for JJ than it does for Chabby. Like esp13 mentioned, there was the lack of development for JJ and Gabi and now he has potentially done something wrong off screen. It's hard for me to believe he would cheat on Gabi given that when we have seen them together, he adores her, plus he dedicated himself last summer to changing for the better after he hurt Paige. Lastly, he seems to be getting the least amount of focus so far in this story. Casey did talk up how good his story was a couple of months ago, so hopefully it takes a turn for the better. Or he could just be wrong like so many actors are.

If I had to guess, I bet we find out that whatever JJ's secret is, it wasn't that he cheated on Gabi. Because that would just be too easy. I think it will look and sound that way. It will be totally cryptic and we'll see/hear snippets of something that looks very much like JJ trying to hide an affair/ONS. We'll see Gabi pick up something and try to find out, but JJ will be evasive and that will drive them farther apart. Then Gabi will hear/see something that looks to her like proof that JJ is cheating, or at least did. That will be the catalyst.

Then, after Chad/Gabi cross the line, we'll find out that JJ wasn't cheating at all and it was either something related to Abby or something related to some case that he had to keep secret. Thus, he's off the hook which allows he and Gabi to get back together (with Gabi now being the one with the secret). I think it has to be this way because if JJ and Gabi aren't together than they lose half the impact of the big Chad/Gabi secret.

And who says that writing a soap is hard? ;)

I hate the timing. They rushed together the 'Abby is dead', wrapped the Ciara stuff and jumped into Chad Gabi all to meet the deadline of Abby's return. Which will end up being like barely two months from when she died.
Agreed - if they had just skipped the Ciara crap and let the Gabi story build to this point it would have been so much better.

That and they should have spent a little more time on Jabi. This has the potential to be a good story/quad, but I don't buy into the insta Jabi love so the whole thing kind of falls flat for me. There's investment in Chabby and I can see them being the root for, but I have no reason to root for Jabi to be together in the end.

Mr chad is going to be in a pickle soon isn't he? I have to laugh at all of this. Gabi made the breakfast tray. Gabi picked out the costume. Gabi did this, Gabi did that...and Chad is saying that he doesn't want to do it alone...when he hasn't really done it alone at all. And conveniently Abby will be back very soon. IA he is lonely and latching on. He likes her company I think for sure. But love? We will see. This is a soap after all! I wish we had more development of Jabi. They have sweet chemistry when Gabi isn't complaining about him. If they hadn't done the whole Ciara mess then maybe it would be a legit soap story told thoroughly. I still root for chabby no matter what. It's all just eye roll worthy soapy stuff.🙄

That being said i can't wait for MMill to grace my screen.now can we get some BTS pics of her with someone besides Camila? ;-)

Eduardo discusses his new “family business” with Kate and offers her a job.
I wonder how long Kate has been at one job for.

I am not interested in anymore love interests for Kate.

Steve/Kayla was just too adorable today.

Pretty slow show today.

Thank you JCP.

I had to laugh when I saw the picture Steve gave Kayla. How did he get a picture of the two of them kissing? Is that the emerald kiss?

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

They are making Chad and Gabi so obvious it's annoying.

As Steve and Kayla take stock of their relationship and look forward to the future, they receive unsettling news.

Chad and Andre come to an understanding.

Eduardo discusses his new “family business” with Kate and offers her a job.

Gabi's relieved when JJ takes a turn for the better.

DISCUSS!





Joe is listed in the end credits! So we may be seeing him again. Hope its a shocker and that his character is alive and well...

In my mind, the only way to *begin* redeeming Hope is if Stefano is alive and well. She'd still be guilty of attempted murder, but at least they can start rebuilding her character.

I still want to see Stefano exit by leaving for his island, where the last scene is him toasting the Dimera family, with Renee, Megan, Benji, Lexie, Peter and Kristin all sitting around the dinner table.
Then Hope would really be getting the AS treatment.
