It is totally believable that JJ cheated on Gabi right after he found out his sister was dead so this cheating storyline is off to a better start that other recent cheating storylines like Will or Justin.
Why? Grief? Grief sex is a really shitty reason
Whenever I think grief sex, it just takes me back to the time Sami and EJ did it and it makes me want to throw things because it totally ruined Safe for NO reason. It was stupid then and even more stupid now because if JJ really did sleep with Lani, they didn't even have the decency to show that it actually happened. I mean, I suppose it's better than having half the airtime overrun by one character's drama (aka like Sami did), but it just feels so random for absolutely no reason at all.

I need some kind of rationalization for this because this whole thing is totally out of left field in my book.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Maybe if we'd actually seen it when it happened.
I think we'll get flashbacks showing what happened, not the same but better than nothing.

Hmm now I can put my finger on what is missing when it comes to Gabi and JJ after watching this little promo, yes, of course it is perhaps more of the scene than is shown. First their story has been very weak, so you have not noticed them right away as a couple even though they are . Then now the little that can be seen, there is no fire, passion, Gabi's omg blah blah blah is meh for the hell begin to show emotion, expression that feels credible. My opinion. JJ needs to go back to the rowdy, problems guy Gabi need more fire in her. I can not with these boring personalities it falls flat and is so boring. KC babble that they want people to root for this couple? Ok then they need to write something exciting first just saying and please shape up the characters. :)
I don't think JJ was ever more loved than when he hated Daniel and was generally a trouble maker. It really was too bad the show didn't go with JJ/Theresa. They had all the built in angsty with Jennifer and Theresa's relationship. They were certainly dysfunctional, but it made sense.
I can honestly say that I wouldn't despise Theresa half as much as I do if they had just kept her with JJ and kept her a total bitch.

Is it Theresa's plan to show Brady I'm still using drugs? Why can't she be honest with him. Oh I forgot, Theresa lies and lies and she can't handle the truth. :shrug:
Well if you're watching the story, she is lying to protect him, so that he won't end up getting himself killed.
Right, that's our Theresa, the self sacrificing martyr...

I don't really care but it seems like they're throwing JJ under the bus just to create a triangle story for Gabi/Chad/Abby. But maybe it will make JJ more interesting and get him away from Gabi.

You can count me as a person that never wants JJ/Theresa and I like JJ as he is now (not including the cheating which is a total crock).

JJ went from being an interesting character to watch to a total bore.

I hated him with Paige but at least they invoked some passion from me in the form of hate, versus nothing with Jabi, they're just boring.

I'm not sure if he would have worked with Theresa in the long term but I loved both of them during that time.

Personally, I was one of those who liked griefsex it was dark passion at its best in the scenes and I thought quite honestly that it was time to quit Safe, could never understand why the hell Days wrote for this couple ?? It was such a mismatch so it was tragic. Additionally, JS and Ali had an extreme sexual chemistry on stage as GG fell flat in scenes with her. IMO

I LOVED the music used in the preview. Can we get some good soundtracks like that on the actual show please?

I'm actually looking forward to seeing the old Theresa for a while before her exit, even though she's faking it. I never bought the changed good girl Theresa at all. Just like I never bought it when they tried it with Sami and how I certainly don't buy it now with Nicole.

The JJ cheating thing feels lazy and uninspired. I guess I'll chalk it up to 'once a cheater, always a cheater' but I really think he would have learned his lesson after what happened with Paige. omg I hope it is revealed that he cheated on Gabi with Mama Hernandez LOL that would be hilarious. If they're going to make history repeat itself they might as well go all out!
