I hope and PRAY the police and the gang find out Gabi was in cahoots with Andrew. Then I hope Melanie slaps the shit out of her and Abby adds one in for good measure. That's all I'm hoping for right now. Gabi isn't even psycho, just pathetic. It's sad because she's a pretty girl and Chad is not anything special.
Abby has really grown on me throughout this storyline. I've always been ambivalent about her, but as a heroine, I think she's got some chops. I hope she gets some better writing after the Olympics.

I can't wait for Hope to figure out that Gabi was behind all of this. :mutley:
I can't wait for Chad to find out. He's going to strangle her. :cheer:
So the strangling thing is another part of the defective DiMera DNA

EJ and Nicole have always been the replacement for EJ and Sami, IMO. When Nicole came back on the canvas she went for EJ to steal him from Sami. It became an obsession with her. Nicole's always been written as EJ's second choice in the romantic department, and she always knew it. He even chose Taylor over her - her own sister! At first, I really thought that they intended to portray her as someone with a mental illness, especially when her obsession continued with the baby switching storyline, which IMO was all about stealing Sami's child from her so that she wouldn't have EJ. It's been a long time, but I seem to remember that her biggest fear when she lost the first baby was that EJ would dump her because the only reason he was with her was because she was pregnant. At the end of that storyline, I thought for sure she was going to end up at the looney bin. Now I have no idea what they're going to do with Nicole.

Lol Sami posts bail with what money? Did she empty her piggy bank? :huh?:
She's been head of a cosmetics company for awhile now and she's been living rent free in EJ's building.

I think she's probably rolling in it.

Excuse me for asking...I haven't watched Days constantly during the last 10-15 years...did Sami Brady ever even get a high school diploma?? What kind of education did she get? Which university did she go to??

This is why hate tptb most...being unreal about job situations these days, making people, teens, believe that Sami Brady could get a job like that...even if given by Stefano, she'd never be able to execute it in real life!

Sorry to interrupt the Ejami/Lumi/Safe debate...NOT...LOL!

I don't understand the second choice thing either.

Nicole might be EJ's second choice but I'm not sure EJ is even on Sami's list... he's her third choice at best.

I was thinking more along the lines of not going with the EJ/Sami paring and replacing it with another that would appease most of the GA as a second choice.

I hope and PRAY the police and the gang find out Gabi was in cahoots with Andrew. Then I hope Melanie slaps the shit out of her and Abby adds one in for good measure. That's all I'm hoping for right now. Gabi isn't even psycho, just pathetic. It's sad because she's a pretty girl and Chad is not anything special.
Abby has really grown on me throughout this storyline. I've always been ambivalent about her, but as a heroine, I think she's got some chops. I hope she gets some better writing after the Olympics.

I can't wait for Hope to figure out that Gabi was behind all of this. :mutley:
I can't wait for Chad to find out. He's going to strangle her. :cheer:
I have a bad feeling about this. Gabi gets away with this crap because of all the confusion after the explosion. But the guilt gets to her, she comes forward and apologizes and everyone forgives her cuz she had the guts to own her actions. I'm begging ya DAYS, if you do this, please, at the very least, let Mel beat her to a bloody pulb before everyone forgives her. That's all I ask, just a few brusies, a little blood shed, some broken bones, nothing permanent; just a little something to make up for the misery of watching that godawful SL.

Gabi needs to meet a bad end. Seriously. I know Days has had success with characters doing bad things yet remaining sympathetic (EJ, Nicole, Sami in her younger years), but there is nothing sympathetic about Gabi. She is not redeemable and needs to meet a horrible end soon.

I think the last 61 pages have shown that they haven't had much success with that with anyone.

I disagree. I think some significant portions of the audience find EJ, Nicole, and (at some points in the past) Sami to be sympathetic, despite their evil deeds. Otherwise we wouldn't be continually having debates about them. No one defends Gabi, that I've seen. No one talks about understanding why she's doing what she's doing. She should have no future on this show. Andrew is much more sympathetic than Gabi is. I'd rather he remain on the show than her.

I'm not disagreeing that people find those characters sympathetic. But I do think it's mostly different people for each character with some overlap. When it comes to Gabi, the problem IMO isn't that she did horrible things and is unsympathetic. The problem is that online, very few people seem to give a rip about her, lol. That was before she did this. I personally don't even care that she did. I don't care about what she did to Chad or Melanie either. It was just a poor decision to have such an irrelevant character play such an important part in this story. She's incredibly expendable, but my guess is she's going to be treated like she matter when we come back from the break.

No, she doesn't have a degree but she does have cosmetic business experience.

I think she's doing just fine, actually.

Course, if teens today are looking to soap operas for advice on what it takes to get a good job, I FEAR FOR OUR COUNTRY.

I'm not sure I'm following the conversation correctly since you quoted yourself, but Michelle did answer your question. Sami does not have a degee. She did not go to college.

I'm not sure about high school. I know she went to her high school prom with Lucas, but I don't remember her graduation.
