She really shouldn't do interviews. |

I wonder if her "stalker" is connected to the big event that likely leads to many of the exits? |

That would be really bizarre considering Gabi seems to have no connection to anyone leaving in the big event. It would be a stretch to even explain why she would be there. It's too bad that the plural departures probably include Andrew. He is one of the best additions to the show in ages. |

My only thought is that Andrew has to pull some crazy stunts to keep Melanie hidden and that it snowballs. Unlikely, but seems a possibility given Camilla's answer. Considering her other non-answers, it probably means nothing. |

LOL @ the "good for the _________, bad for the ________" line she kept using. I also think that Gabi's stalker SL is going to be that "explosive" event before the Olympics. I havent decided whether its ok for me to watch, or not ok to watch....but its good for "Gabi fans?" |

I'm not a big fan of Gabi at all (though I do prefer the crazy loon version of the character) but I can't totally blame Camilla for this interview. TPTB have obviously put gag-orders on the actors so I don't understand why they keep approving interview requests. If they can't say anything, then why wast everyone's time. |

Thanks for the interview. You asked good questions, which most interviews wouldn't ask. I felt a little sorry for her as she seemed to be trying her best to answer, it was just very awkward to read. |

Lame answers. Lame character. And we should care about Gabi because . . . ? |

I kind of love this interview. Whoever said "dingy" is spot-on. It was almost like someone tried to help prepare her to answer these kinds of questions, but she's not quite there with how to handle it yet. And she's terrified of backlash for saying anything. I hope there's not really a nice girl deep down inside Gabi. They need a full-on, unrepentant bitch, imho. Gabi could do that nicely. I wish the actress would embrace that. Make us love to hate your character instead of...just hating her (or, more accurately, generally indifferent). |

I like Camila Banus. She's no Eve yet, but with work I think she could be. I used to like her with Will. I agree she could be used in various ways. I doubt the writer's ability to use her more than I doubt that CB could play out the stories. The only issue I really have with Gabi is she's related to Rafe, and the less family he has in town, the better the chance for him to leave. |

I think it matters more if Sami is in town. As it is now, it's as though Gabi and Rafe are strangers. |

Gabi is my favourite of the "teen" cast (Chad, Melanie, Abigail, etc), but this storyline is making her look so pathetic. |

If Gabi is responsible for whatever happens before the Olympic cliffhanger, at least that's something for this character to do. She's so boring! Even this good girl, turned bad thing they have going is boring. And I completely disagree with what she said about Gabi being diverse. She's not. At all. |

I actually kind of like crazy pathetic Gabi, at least in theory. No doubt the story will under-deliver but that's true of everything lately. Andrew is the real keeper though, yes, too bad he'll probably go with Melanie. |

Giving interviews is definately not that girls forte. That being said, sure sounds like Andrew is going to somehow be responsible for the pre-Olympics explostion. Since it is rumored that Madison meets her maker, that's a plus in my book. Unfortunately, it's not enough to overlook Gabi's one glaring character flaw - she's just plain boring. |

Is she referring to Melanie's departure?? so confusing! What a crappy interview with great questions. LAME! Edited by Erin_123, Jun 22 2012, 10:03 PM.

OK.....I always, IF I come out against an intity on this sad, fallen, and degraded show, go after either the idiots behind the scenes running the damn thing into the ground, or useless characters. This is the first time I am going to pick a Actor/Actress to harp on. Of all the Hernandez family, she is my fave, but that doesn't say much, does it? And of course....she is going to be front and center with Tomlin in control, so she will be our new "Melanie"....This show just can't help but prop characters 80% of the fans loathe. "Changes coming up that are good for Gabi" = No shit sherlock. You have the Hernandez greatest fan writing this show again. "Whats good for Gabi is Good for the Fans" = Good for the 15% of fans that actually want your family on. The rest of us...it just means more free time on my lunch break. "Patrick, Christie, Matthew, and Sarah are going to be leaving the show. So that could be good for some people." = Earth to Camilla.....3 of those actors portray legacy characters whom have been a major part of this show while you were still lodged in your mother's ovary. The other, Sarah Brown, is a very talented actress absolutely wasted on the canvas. She could have done wonders. Now, we lose them, and you are still here. The destruction of what makes this show feel like a second home for me is bad, and it's bad for everyone who has watched this show more than six months. "There's people who love the Dimeras. There's people who hate the Dimeras. There's people that love the Brady's. There's people that hate the Brady's." Oh My God. This one is the one that got me the most. The Bradys have been part of this show for more than 30 years. The Dimeras have been on just about 30 years now. How in God's name can she even compare her on screen family to that sort of legacy. I understand she was trying to make light of the fact that opinions vary, but the real truth is the Bradys have overwhelming support from the fans. They came into the show slowly, were woven in, and gave Days a HUGE boost in the mid 80's. The Dimeras? I will say it...the Dimeras are probably the most popular villanous family in the entire history of soaps. They are notorious, legendary, and when written correctly, sensationally complicated. Stefano, Tony, Andre, Anna, Lexie, Kristen, Peter, EJ.....and I could go on.....and she thinks it's the same thing? NO. We love to hate the Dimeras. I don't love to hate the Hernandez.....I just hate them. So, to close....I know she is young, and I shouldn't be so hard on her, but Mother of God she doesn't get it, or this show, or it's fans. The interviewer did exceptional. The fact is, I hate Daniel Jonas, but when Shawn gives an interview he does a great job with it. I don't want him to stay on Days a second longer, but atleast he acknowledges the truth and doesn't come across as clueless or disprespectful to the show's history. |

Gabi is not dynamic. She is not diverse. She only has four fans, and that's counting herself and her parents. Why is she still here? |

I guess I kind of feel for her, because it has to be hard to sell a character like Gabi, but this interview is basically the written equivalent of the patent Hernandez blank stare. Well, except for the information that people are leaving because of Gabi. Can she please get someone seriously hurt, then go to jail? |
