By the standards of Salem, Gabi's crime is pretty tame. Was she foolish, yes but she didn't deliberately set out to hurt anyone, Andrew 's the one who kidnapped Melanie and hurt people. It was a school girl crush gone bad and she wasn't much older than Will was when he shot EJ, which I don't see as that big of a crime either, at least not one to be used against him over and over. Neither Gabi or Will should have their pasts used against them as parents . |

I have to disagree that everybody in Salem pays for their crimes. Kate, Sami, EJ, Stephano, Victor...they're all walking around free to keep creating havoc on anyone who stands in their way without any ramifications for their dirty deeds. |

It's nice to see Jennifer's hair not look like pure shit for a change. |

No, but her attitude towards Daniel was pretty shitty. And a crappy attitude makes her look crappy. |

If I'm remembering correctly, the agent made a big deal of talking about how they were going to sell Gabi's experiences as a single mother as part of her image. They seemed to be directly tying it in to how popular and relatable she would be. |

It is. She's shrewish for no reason. And needs to take a look in the mirror. |

Okay, Eric looks better in plain, casual clothes. Nicole and Dan realize they are using each other to get past their heartaches, and it is only temporary, I believe. I have a bone to pick with Sami and Kate. I don't think many people will like this, but I feel that Rafe is the grown-up here. He said whatever Gaby decides is okay with him. Unlike the selfish relatives who want Gabi's baby. That's just wrong. The baby belongs with her mommy, and Will said he could go to New York, too, no problem, in order to spend time with Ari. So far, Will is willing to work with Gabi regarding the baby. The controlling relatives ought to stay out of their decision! And, maybe working with Sami just doesn't appeal to Gabi. Gabi is supposed to be making good money at her chosen career. So, if it were me, I'd take happiness, peace of mind, and good money, before the greed that Sami offers. If Gabi fails, THEN Sami and Kate could be "generous" to her. But it is obviously a ruse keep Ari with them. |

Thing is, Sami's right about Gabi's time allotment for the baby. Even considering Sparkle's desire to accommodate and perhaps even have Ari on set constantly, Gabi will be working more than not throughout the day and well into the night. Why drag her to NYC when she had a build in family unit in Salem already? Why not arrange to see Ari regularly where she is going to be the one with the busy career? I love that Will is willing to move to NY and put Ari's interests first, but either way there will be an adjustment of a lot less mommy than she's used to. |

One thing that really annoyed me was that Gabi was willing to let Ari be part of a photo shoot. Gabi never mentioned this detail to Will, and Will should have a say in whether he wants his daughter to be photographed for millions of people to see. Along with this, I was hoping that Will would express some concern about Gabi returning to modeling in general. The last time Gabi was a model, she had a crazy stalker. (Granted, Gabi faked the whole stalker thing, but Will doesn't know that Gabi was faking.) So, I was hoping that Will would be concerned about Gabi possibly having another stalker. This would put Gabi in an awkward position because she'd have to convince Will that she and Ari would be safe if Gabi returned to modeling. And Gabi would have to alleviate Will's fears without revealing that she lied about Andrew stalking her. And the whole fake stalker thing coming to the forefront again would increase the Gabi/Sonny tension, and Sonny would feel bad that Gabi's lies were causing Will to be terrified that Gabi and Ari could be in danger if Gabi returned to modeling. This would be a great way to heighten the drama and could increase the chance of Sonny telling Will about "the Melanie thing." |

Thank you very much. I wonder what the point of all that is? |

It ended differently today. It ended, then there were a load of commercials, then the Corday logo ending. |

Re: Jennifer's history with Kristen. It was 15 years ago and the woman was disturbed. After years of intensive therapy, its in character for Jennifer to say, you know what, maybe this woman is the person I used to know. They made a point of having Jennifer distrustful when she first saw Kristen, but eventually gave her benefit of the doubt. Time does change a lot of people. It just didn't change Kristen. Now Jennifer not having more doubts after the initial wedding bust is a little bit of a stretch even considering that, but again nothing had been done to her or her family. |

It is never consistent however. A prime example is Marlena and Brady. They switch that relationship with each new plot. |

i meant to post this yesterday but ... I wish that Kim and Shane had been around longer ... and it would've been an interesting nod to history if Kim had learned about what Victor did. She was manipulated by Victor all those years ago. And now to hear how Victor has affected her nephew Eric. ... But with a 3-episode appearance, they didn't go there. |

On the topic of biology, I think it's wrong when characters raise kids as their own, then treat them as less important than their biological kids, but I'm not ready to consider Sonny Ari's honorary dad or to feel like he has any real say in her life. The baby is only six months old and wilson haven't even gotten married. If Ari grows up in Salem, when it's all said and done, she could rack up a dozen temporary daddies between Gabi and Will. If they break up tomorrow, it wouldn't be appropriate for Sonny to try and maintain a parent/child bond with Ari. While the Marlena/Carrie/Brady bond outlasted the formal step-parent/child arrangement and with good reason.

Clearly the goal is looking out for herself. It would've been one thing if she said she was moving to New York two years ago, but she's a mother now, and she can't be purely looking out for her own interests. It's extremely selfish and inconsiderate of her to take Arianna Grace away from her family when she clearly has alternative options. I mean what kind of life is she expecting to provide for her daughter if she becomes some big-shot model? One full of money, with Arianna Grace growing up with nannies, babysitters and strangers? Gabi's basic, and a total tool. I hope they kill her off when CB leaves. |

For anyone who's interested, I just made a post in Jason's thread about today's Kennedy memorial coverage. There is a link to an article in today's NY Times about the interruption of the broadcast of As the World Turns as well as the ATWT episode itself. Given the interruptions in today's DOOL episode, I thought these links made a great historical comparison with soaps and TV broadcasting today.
