Is anyone else just happy that Melanie is being MAJORLY AND DESERVEDLY backburned...at least I can thank MarDar for something.
Yes, but SHHHH!!!! I hope Ken doesn't realize this any time soon. I'm enjoying the absence of Dr. Bonas (maybe that's why I'm so sunny these days) and the relative absence of his toothy spawn.

Eggbaby/Melanie/Maggie = Backburned...THANK YOU SOAP GODS!
I can definitely agree with that.. But I dread the Chad/Melanie scenes that come on, even if its just once a week..I just want her gone for good..is that asking for much?

See Jennifer, don't you wish you would've let your daughter be a model for MADISON? That's much better than playing "hide the weeny" with her much older, married boss!

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."

I wouldn't like it as much if it was Melanie. We have already seen Melanie go after an older man (Philip and Brady a bit too). It wasn't interesting and I don't want to see her obsessed with another one. Plus, it would really up her screentime and everybody would be bitching.

I think Kate and Patrick do have chemistry and I like how they are playing it so far.

I had this horrible, nightmarish thought: this is how they keep trying to sell Dr. Cheeto. What if . . . I won't even say it.

Which is, you know--lying.

I think this could go either way. Abby is getting the shocking story. That's not actually bad. Maybe. Perhaps Abby will become a richer character as we watch her fall and rebuild (a la her father, and she's not sinking anywhere near as low as he did). Also, I hope this gives Jack some more air time. When this all comes out, I really hope we get to see Jack be there for his daughter as a guy who knows he's got no place throwing stones.

poor austin...years ago sami had him believing that will was his son..ie they slept together...and they didnt. now this with abby...poor austin..if he ever did really sleep with someone else he would go off the deep end. im not a big fan of abby's maybe because of the way she was reintroduced to the show as a know it all snob, then she got with chad which was a good match the dimeras and the horton mix would have been fun to see grow into a marriage...but she let him go and obsesses over austin who is again being used as someones obsession..poor austin.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

Oh my goodness. The shit is going to hit the fan.... in so many directions.... this saga will have a huge impact on so many ppl.
I can see the next Deveraux clan meeting is not going to go over so well. Jennifer will come all crying and outraged, bringing her chastity belt in hand.... too little, too late, mom. This would also impact Austin, Carrie, Rafe, Sami,and Marlena would probably see reason to get involved. Indirectly Chad, b/c we are not sure what Mel's involvement is yet.

Melanie is probably more than eager to help Abby screw up her life, so she can say that she's not the only red-bitch-devil on the show. Now that there is a level playing field, it may give Melanie the opportunity to reconsider her relationship with Chad.

She won't have to, if Austin shows interest.

I am going to enjoy this and have to credit the writers for going this far. Austin and Carrie are so boring for me and this makes me really care about Austin. It might be the only thing that could make me interested in him. Kate Mansi and Patrick Muldoon have great chemistry, although its awkward. Its supposed to be. I don't mind this because its not totally out of character for Abby. She's never been an angel and now she's grown up so taking things to the extreme is the next logical path.

There's so many repercussions to this, I guess that's what makes me feel this has tons of potential. Jack and Jennifer are going to flip if they find out that Austin had sex with Abby. (of course they will believe her) Carrie is going to be so grossed out. I like Carrie better with Rafe anyway. I don't think this makes Abigail seem crazy at all. Its someone she really likes and the opportunity just kind of fell into her lap. Literally? Also she will probably eventually confess the truth to Austin or Carrie and that will redeem her after a week or two of her looking like a bitch. I'm fine with that.

This sounds fantastic!

The actors have the chemistry and the writing has been solid here. I hope they keep it up with the execution.

I give credit to the writers for finally allowing something to happen in this story (even if it is all a big misunderstanding), but I still don't like the way they're writing Abby. If it were Melanie, I would have no problem with it. It fits with her character. Abby's better than this though.

I don't really have any strong objections to Abigail turning into a bad seed, I just don't want her to become Sami 2.0 while Melanie remains a delicate flower beloved by all.

I'm torn with this story. On one hand, it's really interesting compared to everything else we're seeing on the show. It's not moving at a snail's pace, more is happening than the characters sitting around and talking, and we're seeing some actual motives behind actions. I like that. It feels so different from the rest of the show.

On the other hand, wasn't Abby just telling Chelsea a few years ago that you can't seduce an older man/trick him into sleeping with/thinking he slept with you? I know people grow up and change...but in this case she didn't really grow up did she? The ages/characterizations confuse me.

DAYS really needs to do a STD epidemic. At least it would be one storyline that would make sense.
