Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Kate hasn't been the same since she hooked up with Rafe.

But seriously, Nick has always been able to manipulate Gabi, so, why is he all of a sudden acting impulsively? It's so out of character for him. :shithitfan:
since when? this guy is 51 1/2 cards short of a full deck. He impulsively killed Mel's father, framed her, then tried to have his way with her only to have Philip save her. This guy is a complete nut job. Weren't we spoiled there would be a murder? Sounds like the ladies will be doing there rendition of the three stooges... "eye poking... and so on". Sounds great!

Gabi : "But it was self defense, I should tell the truth!!"
Sami : "Truth, truth, what kind of madness is that?"
Kate : "Your forgetting Sami, she's Rafe's sister, and she's not preggy with EJ's child."
Sami : "Oh...ugh"
Nick only became psycho obsessed with Mel after he started taking the drugs he had been prescribed after having been shot. He was not of sound mind when he killed Trent & tried to get Mel to run away with him.

The writers have done a piss poor job of explaining why Nick is so obsessed with Gabi all of a sudden. It's been months & months since he & Gabi broke up. What made him snap?
This is the question I want answered. When the Jensen story reached its conclusion Nick really seemed to be indicating that he was undergoing a change. He owned up to his actions, fell on his sword and gave Gabi a clean break. Then he was understandably put on the back burner so other stories could come to the forefront, and now that they're focusing on him again he's inexplicably back to being manipulative with a side of completely bonkers. It makes no sense. :shame:

Nick's mother had MPD. What if Nick does, too? I'd love to see him in sessions with Marlena, trying to integrate his various personalities. Blake would rock it, and it would be a way to salvage the character after all the bad stuff he's done.

I really don't have a problem with Nick reverting to his certifiable lunatic self. After the traumatic event with Jensen he was in shock and feeling guilty and contrite so he apologised, but he didn't seek counselling or work on his issues. People don't just snap out of major psycho-social issues without proper counselling. Then everyone started finding out what he did and isolating him. For a narcissist like Nick, that sets him up. Then he started seeing Gabi and that made him go back to his obsessive self where he started seeing her and Ari as his. All that is understandable, considering who he is. But Nick was always smart, manipulative and calculating. Attacking Gabi in an ally is not his MO - the real Nick would've regrouped and abducted her and Ari.

THANK YOU!

Good lord. He has a family history of mental illness. And correct me if I'm wrong, one of his first storylines was him "catfishing" Chelsea Brady. So that's just the first sign of his creepy stalkerish behavior. Was he on drugs then? And didn't he later stalk Melanie Jonas?

From where I'm standing, Nick's obsessive, controlling tendencies were always there. Now throw in a stint in jail where he was raped repeatedly, that's just going to cause further strain on his mental stability- as we all saw. And, yeah, he had a moment of contriteness after Will and Sonny saved his ass and Will took a bullet for him. But, as we all know, he did NOT get the therapy he DESPERATELY needed. He slipped right back into his obsessive, manipulative ways to try and create that fantasy "happy ending" for himself (with someone else's child).

It all makes perfect sense to me. This is a man who has always had mental health issues who never go the help he needed and therefore things spiraled out of control.

Really Kate and Sami joined forces, and they are dragging Nick's body into the river?

How did Kate and Sami know where to find Gabi & Nick? I guess only time will tell.

I can't tell if Kate & Sami are thinking of Gabi being a mother and knowing that Nick was pulling the strings so that Gabi was offered a modeling contract in NY and now that Gabi decides to stay in Salem to be near her brother and give little Ari a chance to be with her dad; Nick didn't like that.

Well I see all the mothers in Salem are getting to know the Salem PD jail at least once in their life. Because Gabi will be so guilt ridden that she will tell someone what she did and she will probably spend some time in the Salem PD jail with Kate and Sami.

Me too.

This is my current theory. The trio dump Nick in the river and leave him for dead. Nick crawls out of the river alive. After his total rejection from Gabi, he plots to drive them crazy. He concocts a plan to "gas light" the women and finds himself a look-a-like as part of the plan to drive them insane.

This was self defense. Nick has criminal record and I think his Melanie obsession is known. Gabi doesn't have any records (she should), everyone treats her as this princess who can't hurt a fly and her brother is a COP who has good standing since no one knows about his history of covering up crimes for Sami and Gabi. It makes zero sense why these three idiots especially Kami would think that covering up and not going to the police is good idea.

Let me see, we have:
Gabi the teflon princess being portrayed as the innocent put upon angel who is attacked and then further duped by Kami to cover her self defense.
Kami being idiots.
Nick's character further being destroyed
None of this stuff is interesting to watch.

If they went with:
Nick blackmailing Gabi with the Melanie stuff if she doesn't take the job in NY and move with him.

Gabi knowing that Nick will care out his treat unlike Sonny and knows he was successful in blackmailing Will feeling cornered. She hits him with the rock when he turns to go.

Kami come upon the scene and Gabi claims self defense. Kami would believe her immediately because they know Nick was being obsessive and suggest to call the police but Gabi insist not to because she doesn't want lawyers digging through her life and finding something that they shouldn't implying her shady past. Sami gets it knowing about Gabi getting up to something bad with Chad even if she doesn't know the details plus going through her own self defense case agrees with Gabi that it is not going to be so easy for her to won.

I think something like that would be more interesting, make sense and be soapy. Also, none of the characters would be OOC. Gabi is certainly capable of doing something like that if she felt cornered considering what she was able to do before. I don't think she is above it and for once she would be smart in duping Kami and thinking quickly to protect her behind. Nick's action would be the same as it has been and his character wouldn't be destroyed any further.
Kami wouldn't appear as much idiots as before. They would be using history of what Sami suspects of Gabi's past and her own experience this summer to decide not to call the police.

Everything else in the story plays out however they are planning to play it out. I'm think something like I know what you did last summer (without the slasher part unfortunately) cause I don't think Nick would be dead.

I think that it would also set up Gabi's exit story when all this eventually comes out. This along the Melanie stuff would come out, everyone would know finally and it would round up her story. Nick's blackmailing and obsessive self would be exposed too. Kami would have to find someway to cover their own asses.

If they go the "I know what you did last summer" approach, I am so here for this. It could be kind of fabulous.

It is totally idiotic, particularly given Nick's history. All Gabi would have to do is point to his history and, given what Kate has put together about the New York modeling gig, it would be very simple to convince the cops that Nick had become obsessed with Gabi.

I can imagine that Sami would argue that Gabi can't rely on self-defense after what Sami went through after shooting Bernardi. But anyone with a brain would tell Gabi that the situations are completely different. Sami shot a decorated police officer in the back and her story was not corroborated by the evidence. Gabi's story would be much more believable.

I don't even understand why Kate and Sami would care. If they think Gabi is going to prison, that benefits both of them in regards to the baby. Their involvement is what's making this ridiculous. Maybe they'll write it better in the next two days to explain it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Man I missed something, I thought he's been obsessed since the day they broke up, trying to sleep with her...get her back (get her into modeling, so she'd go Nick...my hero, my savior)...and when that didn't work, he's decided to split the bond between her and Wilson. I'm surprised he hasn't called her HIS daughter.

Nick had a temporary good for me, it ended the moment Mel walked into the picture. Not that he doesn't make a good nutjob, but those always have an expiration date.

I think the two answers to that question is

Will & Rafe

Will doesn't want any parent taken away from Ari & would not easily forgive them.

And Rafe would never forgive either of them, and both of them care for Rafe. Not to mention I think they will see that Ari is the victim, I mean she told Nick she was going to turn down the job. I think his fallen apart plan will turn to Rage.

I do wonder if they are still going to have Kami use this to secure Will's right or not despite being part of the cover up. Custody issue meant go away with this now but it will still be there in the future, so.

To what purpose? Gabi decided to turn down the job & that's why Nick went psycho.
