Abigail Sleeps With Austin! After a night of heavy drinking, Austin heads for his office to sleep it off and discovers Abigail is there working. He vents about the awful state of his marriage and praises Abigail for being everything Carrie hasn't been: loving, understanding and comforting. "It's a significant moment for Abigail," her portrayer, Kate Mansi, offers. "Austin's opinion matters so much to her because he's an older man, and she also has feelings for him. For the first time, Austin is opening up and essentially saying 'I see you for the woman you are.' That means alot to Abby." The closeness of the moment builds to an unexpected kiss. "Over time, Abigail's desire to have Austin has really blurred the line between fantasy and reality," asserts Mansi. "This is the best feeling for Abigail because all of her dreams with Austin are being realized in that moment." The next morning, a hungover, half-naked Austin wakes up on the couch with Abigail. Austin jumps to the conclusion that he made love to her. Mansi reveals, "Austin tells Abigail that the last thing he remembers is the two of them kissing. He then adds, 'I don't remember us sleeping together.' In that moment, Abby chooses to let him believe that they had sex." -------------------------------------------------- Austin and Abigail: Sex?! Austin overhears that Rafe kissed Carrie and realizes his wife has feelings for her co-worker. After a night of heavy drinking, Austin decides to spend the night at his office and is surprised to find Abigail working late. She's alarmed to see Austin so drunk. "For Abigail, Austin represents such a stable, consistent, loyal guy," notes portrayer Kate Mansi. "Her first reaction is that something is terribly wrong. it's uncharacteristic for Austin to be so out of control." Austin uses Abigail as a sounding board to vent about his troubled marriage. He rambles that Abigail is everything that Carrie isn't: loving, understanding and comforting. "It's a significant moment for Abigail," Mansi acknowledges. "She puts Austin on a pedestal. His opinion matters so much to her because he's an older man and she has feelings for him. When he says these things to her, it doesn't feel so one-sided anymore. For the first time, Austin is opening up and essentially saying, 'I see you for the good person and woman that you are.'" Austin leans in and kisses Abigail. "It's the best feeling that Abigail could have," shares Mansi. "In that moment, all of Abigail's dreams with Austin are being realized. She's so excited and so happy. To the audience, it may feel like because Austin is drunk, it alters the situation a little bit. But for Abigail, she can only see what is right in front of her. He's kissing her and responding for the first time physically. Abigail thinks it is the start of their life together and their relationship." The next morning, Austin awakens half-naked on the couch with ABigail. Austin assumes that they slept together. Still groggy, Austin recalls kissing Abigail, but not having sex with her. Abigail remains silent, choosing to let Austin believe that they made love. "Abigail is not aware that she is lying," asserts Mansi. "Instead, she feels like she's omitting the truth. She's allowing Austin to believe something that he made up in his own mind. In that moment, she is thinking, 'If I tell Austin that we didn't sleep together, it's just going to be filed away as a memory. But if I let him think we slept together, which he already thinks, then the possibility of us falling in love can continue.' That's what Abigail wants." Article scan courtesy of Forbidden Love. |

While I do not want Austin/Abby together at all...and I don't want Abby villainized...I do like the ramifacations that this lie is going to bring. At least something shocking is happening....I have been so incredibly bored with this show...that I am THAT desperate to even considering enjoying this. |

I don't understand Abby's zero to sixty obsession with Austin. It must have been the touk sniffing. |

I still can't believe I'm interested in this, but I am. I think it was a good idea (well, you know--relatively speaking) to have them at least kiss, so it seems halfway plausible to Austin that they went All The Way. |

0 for 2 DAYS....this one sucks too! They should have given this story to Melanie. At least I would have believed that Pippi can turn psycho. |

Same here. I didn't like the idea of Abby liking Austin at first, but I don't mind it now. It's getting good. |

Abby--daughter of Jennifer, great-granddaughter of Alice Horton--should be the show's young heroine. Ruining yet another daughter of a supercouple seems like such a waste, especially when I can think of another candidate for the job of psycho bitch that would be much more believable. |

I'm going to whisper here so that Ken Corday can't hear me, but I'm not sure he's realized that Melanie has become wallpaper. Even if Abby is turned into a psycho bitch, she's getting story and Melanie is not. What's Melanie even doing? Starring in Chad's dreams that we don't see? Who cares? At least I care about what Abby's doing, and I can't see myself ever wishing a violent, permanent death with her ashes scattered in Siberia on Abby the way I do Melanie. |

I would normally have agreed....but I 100% do not in this case....Melanie is SUCH a LAME character....at least Abby is interesting...I am not totally against this. Melanie in the Abby role would have made this MUCH MUCH MUCH worse than it is. I just do not want Abby destroyed from all this....I hope we see her struggling with this lie, while at the same time continuing to be deceitful. The thought of Patrick Muldoon having to kiss that nasty slut makes me wanna puke...i fucken hate Molly Burnett...she is pure NAST! |

See that I would be fine with. But for some reason I feel like the character of Abigail will indeed be destroyed just like Stephanie was. |

Yep, I dont want ANOTHER daughter of a supercouple destroyed while there's a perfectly good psycho-slut in Pippi. Theyre going to give her a story sooner or later...sorry....but thats DAYS...just like you can count on AS re-writing Sami to be blameless can you count on MB having some far fetched suitors loving her. |

But Pippi is not pefectly good at anything...bad or good...she still sucks donkey dick and is just a totally wash of a character...she is just toxic whether good or bad. |

As long as Abby doesn't sleep with Austin, it's all good to me. It will be interesting to hear what she tells Austin, her reason why she 'did it' with him. I hope.... this doesn't spiral out of control and she freaks out over her lying, scheming mess. If she turns arounds and cries faux rape.... I will lose my lunch! |

Stephanie was destroyed at the altar of Melanie, and believe you me I am still bitter about it. However, I just don't see the same dynamic here. Abby and Melanie aren't competing over the same man any more. Abby was pretty much ready to dump Chad once she realized that, like Bill Clinton, he had a taste for trash. Her semi-obsession with Austin doesn't seem to me to have much if anything to do with losing out to Strawberry Shortcake for Chad's affections. She seems to have a very typical older man hero worship thing going on with Austin. She's not trying to show Chad anything. Austin isn't fantasizing about Melanie and sneaking off to make out with her. I just don't see them as being that similar. Stephanie was clearly supposed to be the loser, which is utterly baffling, whereas in this case it feels more clearly to me to be Abby's story. She may lose and/or go psycho, but it won't be because she can't live up to the sheer perfection of Pippi Longstocking. Hopefully. |

This sounds awesome! I can't wait for these scenes to air. The chemistry between the two actors is there, as is the writing. I can only imagine it will come off well. People wanted big things happening, shocking things happening, HERE YA GO. |
