I guess Sami and Lucas have been the ones footing Ari's bills on Will's part since he said he didn't have any money. And Sami putting down the idea of leaving your child with a babysitter? What's wrong with this picture? |

What happened to Daniel now is, well, now. Hardly comparable. Plus, the Jennifer of now is insufferable. She was likable then, even as Stephanie Cameron. |

There is an arguable difference between having a family unit that includes aunts and grandmothers and great grandmothers (NY) and having babysitters. Nothing wrong with either one. Every parent has different realities, but I've noticed since Caroline was diagnosed, the kids are never just with Caroline anymore. Sami's are usually with Harold or Mary. Ciara is usually at school or with Doug & Julie or something. Parker is often with babysitters, but also often with Maggie. I guess as someone who was always with family members vs. unconnected babysitters, I have a preference that guides my opinion of this story. And where soaps are generally all about family connections, I think that's what the writers are banking on. I also really liked someone's point about Gabi's stalker past. Its fake, yes, but the fact that Will hasn't been concerned about this is very, very strange and a greatly missed beat. If anything, that's where the conflict should be in addition to her being far away with Will's child. Only Chad and Sonny and Gabi know that she wasn't actually being stalked and it would be using her secret much better than Sonny randomly bringing it up to discredit her and keep Ari in Salem. |

After watching the Thursday and Friday episodes I've started to rethink my Jack Deveraux/Matt Ashford feelings. I loved both once then my feelings waned to merely a guarded like. But seeing Abby/KM and Jennifer/MR in their respective scenes with Eric/GV and EJ/JS has me somewhat in shock. GV and JS are good, solid actors and even they couldn't make Abby and Jennifer bearable. MA must have been a friggin' genius considering I used to enjoy Jack/Abby and Jack/Jennifer scenes. Holy nutella Abby and Jennifer are the most annoying women ever. Posted Image |

Please note: This report is not to be copied and pasted to any other sites. Please link only. Link to summary archive: http://www.network54.com/Forum/358635/ Director: Herb Stein Scriptwriter: Janet Iacobuzio Segment 1: Jordan helps Rafe back into his wheelchair. She tells him he did really good today; he should be pleased with his session. Rafe - Before we go there's something else I want to do. Jordan says he did a lot already; she doesn't want him to exert himself any further. She turns and sees that he's standing up. Hope meets Nick at the club. She greets him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Nick thanks her for coming on such short notice. Hope - Is everything okay? Nick - Everything's really good actually. I am leaving for New York today. Sonny tells Will not to freak out. This is your daughter and if Gabi is going to take her to New York ... Knock, knock. It's Kate. She takes Ari from Will. She's here to celebrate Ari's 6 month birthday. She brought a gift. She notices the guys expressions. You guys don't look in a celebratory mood. Are you alright? Sami chases down Gabi in the park. Gabi tells her she's on her way to see Rafe. What Sami has to say can't wait. Dan and Nicole kiss and then stare at one another. They kiss again. Stare. Eric is in the pub on his cell. He notices 2 women staring at him. Jen comes in. She's glad she ran in to him because she'd really like to talk to him. Eric doesn't feel like talking right now. Jen - It's really important. It's about Kristen and it really can't wait. Nicole - Did that just happen? We're not going to do this again, are we? They both say no way at the same time. Eric follows Jen outside the pub. Have you heard from Kristen? Jen notices the 2 women through the women talking and pointing at Eric. Jen - I can't talk to you here. Just come with me. Gabi - I can not take you attacking me again. Sami - I really just want to talk. Gabi - You want to change my mind but I'm not going to. Sami - Please just listen. I understand how this is a HUGE opportunity for you. This is a great modelling contract and it's in New York and it's amazing. I totally understand that. Gabi - But? Sami - I'm asking for five minutes of your time. Segment 2: Rafe takes a couple of steps on his own without the bars. Jordan - This is very encouraging. Rafe - Encouraging? That's it? What about awesome! Or ama ... he trips and has to grab on to the bar to keep from falling. Jordan helps him to straighten up and they end being very close. Hope - You're leaving today! Nick - Yeah. I go straight from here to the airport. Hope - With what? Only the backpack I gave you last Christmas? Nick - I love that backpack. I sent my stuff ahead. Hope - So that job offer came through. Nick - Yeah, I start really soon. Hope - And that's the only thing taking you to New York; there's nothing else going on, right? Nick - No, it's all good. Hey, I haven't told Aunt Maggie that I'm leaving yet. Hope - Seriously! Are you kidding me! She needs to know. You need to tell her. Nick - Of course. It's just that I heard what happened at Brady and Kristen's wedding and that she's moving out of Victor's. Hope - Well you heard right. Nick - The timing; I just don't want to put this on her. Hope - That's okay. You're going to be back soon to visit, right? Nick - Don't count on it. Kate - So what's going on? Will - Well we may need your help with something Grandma. Sonny - Will, I think you're jumping the gun. Will - Am I jumping the gun if Gabi takes Ari away from us. Kate - Whoa, backup. What are we talking about? Sonny - Gabi was offered a modelling contract with a top agency. Will - And she wants to take Ari with her to New York. Sami - You have to know what this is about. Gabi - I can guess. Sami - You knew I wasn't exactly going to give my blessing. Yeah, Gabi you can take my granddaughter and I'll try and see her on the holidays. Gabi - You can see her whenever you want. Sami - You know that's not realistic, right? Her whole family, we all have kids of our own, we have jobs here. We can't just get on a plane anytime, right? When Will was a kid I made a ton of mistakes ... Gabi - This is not a mistake. Sami - Wrong choice of words. I used Will to defend some of my actions. I used to justify my behaviour by saying I was doing what was best for my son. Gabi - I don't know what this has to do with me. Sami - Let me finish. I had these schemes and I had plans and I would be getting myself out of situations and no matter what I thought or what I said Will ended up on the backburner. Gabi - I wouldn't let that happen to Ari, never. Sami - Really? You've had modelling jobs before. We're talking about 6am call times. You get done at 10pm sometimes later. You're working all day and who's with the baby? Not you. She'll be with some babysitter wondering where her mother is. I'm just saying that she needs you not just a babysitter. And she needs her father. And if you take her to New York she won't have either of you. Gabi - If I take this offer I will be set for life which means that Arianna will be set for life. So you can understand how I can't turn this offer down. Sami - I understand how you feel which is why I would like to make you an offer of my own. You stay here in Salem and I will give you an exclusive contract with Countess Wilhelmina. That solves all your problems. It's the best of both worlds. You can stay here and you can give Ari everything. I know how much you love your daughter. Do this for her. Dan and Nicole chuckle. Dan - That was kind of reminiscent of something we've done before. Nicole - Only it wasn't because we're not doing that. Dan - We hardly knew each other back then. Nicole - Now we do and we're really good friends. Dan - Yes and we need to protect what we have with each other. Dan looks at the summons again. Nicole - We both really need a friend right now more than ever; with your crazy, selfless to a fault covering thing with JJ letting people, including Jennifer, the woman you love, hate your gats right now because she thinks you're a shallow, creepy guy who slept with Theresa from drugsville. Dan - And you have your Eric situation. Nicole - No situation. Arrive Derchi Eric! Dan - Just like that. Nicole - Whatever feelings I had for Fr. Eric or soon to be just Eric, they are dead and buried. Eric follows Jen into the living room of the Horton house. Jen - I'm sorry I gave you the silent treatment all the way over here, it's just something I didn't want to talk about in public. Eric - What do you want to tell me? There's something you know about Kristen. Have you heard from her? Jen - No and I really doubt that I will. You know it's just so crazy. I know that I was her only friend in Salem and I really didn't know how damaged she was. Eric - No one did except my mother. Jen - I know. And then when I saw that video in the church I knew that Kristen was guilty and not just because of the look in her eyes but I know Eric that you would never seduce any woman including Kristen. Eric - I really appreciate your support and your wanting to talk to me about this; I'm just not sure why you thought it should be in private. Jen - Because there is more. There is something to all of this stuff with Kristen that you deserve to know. Something I know in my heart I should have told you sooner and I need to tell you now. Segment 3: Jordan helps Rafe back into his chair. That was incredible! Your first steps! Rafe - How about that! I wish I could have done a few more. Jordan - We talked about this, remember. Baby steps. Rafe - I need you to be honest with me right now. Does this mean I'm going to be able to walk again? Gabi - That's a very generous offer. Sami - Then you'll take it. Gabi - No, I'm sorry I won't. Sami - Oh I see. So it's not about doing what's best for your daughter, it's that you want to move to New York; live that glamorous lifestyle, being a model, having the career fizzle out by the time you're 25. Gabi - Thank you for your support. Sami - I'm just being realistic. You know better than anyone that ... Gabi - What I know is that I have to give this a chance. Sami - If that modelling agency is as hot for you as they say they're going to be working you 24/7. Which is amazing except for the part where you'll be kissing your daughter goodbye first think in the morning; giving her to a nanny and then you'll be home to give her kiss when she's already sleeping at night. Gabi - What is it that you want from me! Sami - If you need to do this, I totally understand and respect that. You go follow your dreams; you go to New York City but you leave Ari here. Gabi - What! Sami - What? Leave her here with her father; with a family that loves her and we'll take care of her. We'll do a great job. Gabi - You have to be out of your mind. I'm not going to leave Ari here. And it's not as bad as you're describing. It will not be as bad as that! This agency wants Ari too and we're going to go out there ... Sami - What! Ari's part of the deal! Kate - I just can't believe that Gabi would do something like this. Will - Well she is unless we can convince her not to. Kate recalls confronting Nick and asking him if he's moving to New York. Kate - I think we're all going to have to make it completely clear to Gabi that this is not acceptable. There's still time to change her mind. Will - What if we can't? Kate - Does anyone else know about this? Will - Mom and Sonny's dad. Sonny - Gabi did make up her mind though but she did say she isn't making any more decisions without talking to Will first. Kate - That's big of her. Kate hands Ari back to Will. Listen to me. I don't want you to worry about this because I'm going to do everything I have to do. No one including her mother is going to take little Arianna away from us. Will - Okay. Kate - I love you. Will - Love you to. She leaves. Outside the apt. Kate pulls out her cell and mutters I know what you're up to and you're not going to get away with it. Hope - I know it's been a very hard time for you. Nick - It's been rough but that's why I think it's going to be better for me someplace else where people don't know what happened to me in prison and people don't look at me with pity and disgust. Hope - I can't tell you how it breaks my heart to hear you say that; that you feel that way but I understand. Nick gets an alert on his cell. I've got to go. I don't want to miss my flight. Hope hugs him. Honey I'm so sorry that things didn't work out for you here. Nick - Don't worry about me. Hope - How can I not? Nick - I think things are going to be really great for me in New York. Hope - I love you. Nick - I love you too. Bye. Nicole - Thank you. I will try not to be the guest who kissed the host out of the blue and for absolutely no reason at all. In fact I won't have time to do those shenanigans because I start my new job tomorrow. Dan - What new job? Nicole - It's kind of new, old actually. I got my roving reporter TV gig back. Dan - Why didn't you tell me this? Nicole - I'm telling you right now. It's not like anyone's really going to know for a while because my stuff doesn't actually air for a few weeks. Dan - That is awesome! Nicole - I think so too and I'm ready to hit the ground running. Dan - Can you do me just one favour? Please, whatever you do, no exposes on me. Nicole - Well I was kind of hoping you'd be my first subject. Dan - I'm going to get a real estate magazine so you can find another place to live. Nicole - I'm totally kidding! they laugh. Jen - I have a part in all of this. Eric - You? How? Jen - Because Kristen told me that when she and Brady had broken up; she was unfaithful to him. Eric - She told you. Jen - Yeah and for a moment, for a really terrifying moment, she thought that she was pregnant with this other man's child. I mean she wasn't but that's why throughout this whole ordeal she was so emphatic about not saying anything to Brady because she was afraid he'd never forgive her for her mistake. So I comforted her and I just let it go because I didn't feel like it was really my business at the time. But then when I saw the video of the two of you together I realised why she couldn't tell Brady because she had set this whole terrible thing up. Eric - Because the other man was me. My God, if she was pregnant. Jen - Yeah, that would have been your baby. So what I'm saying is if I hadn't protected her this whole thing would have resolved so much differently. That nightmare in the church would never have happened. So I'm asking you can you please forgive me. Segment 4: Nick meets up with Kate in the square. Hey Kate, in your text you said you had another cheque for me. Kate - Well I lied. You S.O.B. Nick smiles. Gabi - Arianna is part of the deal because I'm her mother and I want her to be there and the agency knows that. Sami - And that's it? Gabi - To be honest, yes, they want a photo shoot with me and the baby. Sami - And you're okay with your 6 month old daughter under those hot lights and having to wake her up so the photographer can get the shot that he needs. Gabi - I'm not selling her into slavery. Sami - We've both seen those reality shows; a parent pushing their kid into a career so they can be exploited. Gabi - I would never let that happen. Sami - Well I hope that's true but Gabi this has happened very quickly, it's very exciting and I totally understand that you want to do what's best for your child. I'm asking you to consider my offer please. Gabi - I will but I can't promise you that I'll change my mind. She leaves. Sonny - I hate what is happening. Will - I do too but I'm fine so if you just want to go to work. Sonny - T's covering. I just want to be here with you. Will - Thanks. You want to keep an eye on me. Sonny - I just don't want you to do anything to make the situation worse. Will - How could I possibly make the situation worse? Sonny - By doing something irrational that will cost you Ari and a future in jail. I see you thinking about it. Taking Ari away without Gabi's consent is considered kidnapping. I'm worried because you're upset and I don't want you to do anything crazy like that. You could lose Ari forever. Jordan - We've had this conversation before. Rafe - Yeah but we never had this conversation 3 minutes after I took two steps. Jordan - True and while I can't guarantee results I can try to help you achieve them but in my professional opinion and based on my experience so far I don't think that you'll just walk again; I think you will be back to normal. Rafe - Yeah! I've actually never been normal so ... Jordan - Then it will be a miraculous recovery. Rafe - Thank you. Dan has to get to the hospital. Nicole has some errands too. She has to stop by the rectory and get her mail. Dan - Aren't you worried about seeing Eric? Nicole - No, he won't be there. Dan - You checked? Nicole - They suspended him. Eric - Of course I forgive you. The truth is even if you had come forward after the things you found out it wouldn't have changed anything. Jen - Why can't the Church reconsider? They have to forget about what they saw and look at what was done to you. You are the victim here. Eric - Not unless they find Kristen and she confesses. There's no proof then so I don't understand why anything would change. Eric gets a call from Hope. I have news about Kristen. I need to see you right away. Segment 5: Nicole - It's definite. I ran into Eric and he told me and as long as Kristen is MIA and not talking I don't think they're going to let Eric back in as a practicing priest. She sees his expression. What? Dan - You just happened to run into Eric? Nicole - Yeah. Dan - And then when you saw him all that stuff came up right and kissing me was just a distraction from that. Nicole - What crazy assed loop de loop did you get on to come up with that conclusion. One has nothing to do with the other. Dan - I know why you're angry with Eric but you can't blame him for what Kristen did. Nicole - I don't blame him, I blame Kristen. I'm hoping she's fertilizer in some potted plant although that wouldn't be fair to the plant, would it? I blame Eric for thinking the worst of me. He should have known better. Dan makes it clear that he and Eric are friends and he can't turn his back on him. Nicole - I'm glad someone wants to help him. It just can't ever be me again. She leaves. Eric - I'll be there soon. Thanks. Jen - What, does she have a lead on Kristen? Eric - She wouldn't say. She just wants to see me in person. Jen - That sounds hopeful. Let me know alright and thank you again for understanding my silence about Kristen. She was trying to destroy your family and using you to do it. Eric - You had no way of knowing that. Jen - I suppose so but I have been wrong about a lot of people lately. Eric - You're talking about Daniel now. Jen - On that note I need to get going. Eric - Yeah, me too. Nick - I have no idea why you're acting so crazy but I don't really have time for it. Kate - Then you need to make time. You going somewhere Nick? Nick - Yeah, actually. Kate - Wouldn't be New York, would it? Nick - Yeah it would be. I got a job offer there and I'm going to take the job if that's okay with you. Kate - You lying, little snake. I know why you're going to New York and it's to set up house with Gabi and the baby. Nick - I got a job Kate. A really good one and if Gabi and Arianna end up going there too then I guess that's how fate will have it. Kate - Really! Do you really think you're going to get away with that? Nick - You know what, you were so nice to me when I made your company a boat load of money and you were so happy for me when you heard I was leaving and it was so fake and disingenuous ... just like everybody else in this town. But you know what, it doesn't matter because I don't even belong here. Kate - Well you don't belong with Gabi's and Will's baby either. Gabi follows Rafe into his room. Rafe - It sounds like an incredible offer but New York, really! What, you and Arianna are just going to up an move there? Gabi - I would never get a deal like that here. Rafe - I know. I get it. It's just that I would miss you and the baby a lot. Gabi - You can come see us whenever you want and we'll be back here once a month. Rafe - What about Will? He can't be too happy about this. Gabi, how did Will take the news? Will - Give me a little credit Sonny. I'm not going to kidnap my daughter. The first thing I need to do is get a job somewhere and I'm hoping that either Grandma Kate or EJ can help me out with that. Sonny - EJ! Will - Yeah. Sonny - 'Cause that worked out in the past. Will - I'm a little different now and so is he. Sonny - Did you say you need to get a job somewhere? Will - If Gabi's going to New York and we can't stop her then I'm going to New York and get a job too. Segment 6: Sami is talking to herself outside the club. If I can't get through to Gabi as a mother then I'll have to find another way to deal with her even if it means dealing with the devil. Kate - All I care about is my great-granddaughter being near her father so if you think you're going to keep Will away from his baby, you can think again. Nick - Look Kate, I was wrong about Will and Sonny. I was working through my own issues and they took the hit from me ... that was a mistake. But me being with Gabi has nothing to do with Will being taken away from his daughter. Gabi's already offered to come back once a month and Will can come to New York whenever he wants to and I support that. Kate - Wow, aren't you a sweetheart. Nick - Yeah I am a sweetheart in my professional life and my personal life. In fact, here, he digs out a flashdrive, the project we talked about. This one's on the house. Take it. Goodbye Kate. He leaves. Kate mutters - Oh Sami, do I need to talk to you. Her cell rings. Looks like she needs to talk to me too. Gabi - Will's not happy about it, neither is Sami. Rafe - I can imagine. Gabi - But they do know it's a really great opportunity not only for me but Arianna. I hope that you can see that too. Rafe - Will I get ... I understand that this is tempting for you but you're a mom now; you have a baby and if you leave a lot of people are going to be really upset, especially me. I'm going to miss you and my niece buy you are a grownup now, a mom, it's your life, it's your decision. Gabi - So you support my decision to move to New York. Rafe - I love you so I support your decision, whatever it is. Gabi hugs him. Thank you Rafe. Nicole is at the rectory looking through her mail. She recalls a moment with Eric. She's about to leave when Eric comes in. Dan goes up to Jen near the nurse's station. I'm sorry to bother you. I just wanted to say I'm sorry that you have to witness the disciplinary hearing. That's the last thing I wanted to subject you to. Jen - You really need to get over yourself. Nick sees Gabi sitting in the square and asks if everything is okay. Gabi - No, it's not. Sonny - You'd consider moving to New York? Will - Absolutely. If we didn't have any other choice, yes. We can go there, we can get our own place. We'd be near the baby, I could transfer to NYU. Sonny - Just like that. Will - I think I could get in. What? Sonny - I can't move to New York. Sami and Kate meet up in the park. Sami - We have a problem. Kate - You have no idea. Segment 7: Jen - I don't want or need your patronizing concerns. I'm going to be just fine. Dan - I'm just trying ... Jen - To spare me the embarrassment of your actions? Just so you know I won't be agonizing over what happened between you and Theresa. In fact, I will feel nothing at all except maybe revulsion and disdain. Don't you get it. You mean nothing to me. Nicole - What are you doing back here? Eric - I forgot something. Nicole - Yeah, me too. Goodbye Eric. Hope comes in just as Nicole is leaving. Did I interrupt something? Eric - Not at all. Rafe pulls himself from his chair to the bed. Jordan comes in. She needs him to sign something. I'm really proud of the progress you made today. Rafe - Thanks to you. Jordan - Are you okay? You seem kind of quiet. Rafe - My sister's news; she's moving to New York with the baby. She got some amazing offer with a modelling agency. I just don't know if it's the best thing for her. Jordan - Your sister strikes me as a smart girl; she'll figure it out. If she needs help, she'll come to you. Rafe - You're right. Jordan - Of course I am. Will - What are you talking about? Of course we can move to New York. It's a big city. There's tons to do there. We're young, you can get a job as a bartender in 5 seconds tops. Sonny - I'm not a bartender. I own my own club. Those are two different things. I have spent so much time and energy in this town, on that place. I can't believe you'd even say that to me. Will - Don't make me choose between you and my daughter. Sami - So you heard Gabi's plan. Kate - Yeah. Sami - I tried talking to her, this mother to mother chat; it didn't go very well. Kate - Did she tell you about Nick? Sami - I know she slept with that loser again but this wasn't the best time to bring it up. Kate - So you don't know the rest. Sami - What rest? Kate - Gabi is not going to New York alone. Sami - I know. She wants to take Ari with her. Kate - And Nick. Sami - What! Kate - Nick Fallon is moving to New York with Gabi. Nick - Why don't you tell me what's wrong? Gabi - I've changed my mind. I'm going to turn down the agency's offer. Nick - You're what! Gabi - I'm not going to New York. |

Here to say thank the soap gods that Dancole kiss was a temporary error in judgment. By all means, let Dancole become BFFs and work together to clear Eric's name...but no more knocking boots. Don't regress, Nicole! |

You know, I almost didn't mind the Danicole kiss. Heresy, I know. Maybe it's because they decided to take the mature route. But I'm not minding Daniel in SuperDude mode anymore, or maybe just SuperFriend mode. Maybe because he's away from Princess Rose or something. When he's not with Jenn or Maggie, I kinda like him, scruff, nasal tone, and all. I find it interesting and kinda telling that Nicole is one of those girls who just relates to men in friendship mode better than she does with women, now that they're actually allowing her to be friends with someone. Besides the Chloe friendship, that is. Yeah, Chloe needs to come back. (Did I just say that?) |

When I watched it on NBC.com today, I kept thinking "Alison Sweeney is using some of the very words used on THIS board by members who say the VERY same thing about Alison Sweeney!". I wasn't even thinking Sami. Well, maybe a little. Because we'd always say that her kids were with Caroline. I kept wondering what was going through Sweeney's mind when she said that. She has to know the same things have been said about her and her character. |

I wasnīt sure whether to watch fridayīs episode or not it didnīt sound very interesting, but I decided to watch anyway in case I was wrong, and I thouht it was at least watchable; I liked Rafe/ Jordan at least a little bit I think I see some chemistry there, maybe if Jordanīs past turns out to be interesting, maybe I could get into them afterall. Jordan does seem to be a better fit for Rafe than Sami and at least makes Rafe tolerable to me. I didnīt like the Danicole kiss, but I did like their friendship. It was nice seeing Nicole smile and looking happy for at least a little while. The Sami/Gabi exchange was mostly boring, but I loved the ending when Kate told Sami that Gabi was moving to New York with Nick. The ending alone made the show worth watching. |

Melissa Reeves can be a very good actress with good material on the page, but she's not great at subtext. She needs a scene partner that will help elevate the material when the writing isn't tight. One of the biggest draws for me towards Matt as an actor (besides the pretty) is that he's usually able to spin junk into something tolerable (and usually even more than that). In particular, he's amazing at drawing a really good performance out of Missy. I'm thinking KM may be the same type of actress as MR because the only scenes I've even partially enjoyed her in lately were the ones with James Scott, who has the same talent Matt does for elevating crap material. That said, I don't think either actress is bad - they just may not know how to fill in the blanks. And when you're dealing with writers that leave character holes all over the place... |

Eric (GV) made the show die again. His reaction when he found out that Kristen thought she was pregnant for five minutes was to raise his eyebrows a little bit and take an almost deep breath before delivering his next line. I wanted Brady to come and punch him out some more. |

Yea, I thought his reaction was a bit too subdued. Where is his disgust? Hell, I would think he'd wanna barf his guts out at the thought of impregnating his rapist. |

The cake was not blue. It was chocolate cake with cream filling and blue icing. |

Relief is still a reaction. I hardly think he'd react like a guest on Maury, the man is emotionally guarded, it's all natural. |

Yes, and the icing made it sufficiently blue as to be unappealing. |

Not to cater to stereotypes, but I don't think I've ever seen two gay men with as terrible taste as Will and Sonny. Will dresses like someone's elderly grandfather, Sonny wears and gives terrible shirts, the club is awful, and that cake was grotesque. |

Will committed his crime. He "considered turning himself in" in a whiny poor me way, but no one had a gun to his head talking him out of it. He never actually intended to do it. And he allowed his DAD to go to jail for what he did and never said a word. Gabi's crime was ONLY the not saying anything part. She hired a guy to pretend to stalk her and then was blackmailed into not saying anything after he went crazy and kidnapped Melanie. That was HIM, not her. The only thing she did that was actually even illegal was not reporting a kidnapping. Yes it was shitty but she also was dealing with someone who had evidence that made her seem like she asked him to kidnap Melanie, and she had no way to prove it wasn't true. After it came out, she was sorry and apologized- her victim knew what she had done, and she also talked about turning herself in several times. She also prostrated herself to Sonny over it when she was having Ari. Will is BY FAR the worse out of the two, and the situations aren't even comparable. I feel like the people who are upset she doesn't have the brunt of the (accidental) explosion and the 2 (extremely random and also accidental) deaths it caused thrust on her maybe just don't like her and want to see her character trashed. Which is fine, she's kind of an unlikable character, and her eyebrows are wayyyy too close together. But she's really not any more responsible for Jack or Madison's deaths than Abigail or Brady, and I'm so sick of watching people become pariahs for things they don't do. |
