I am just not seeing the chemistry everyone else is seeing between EJ and Abigail. All I see is a man that is three sizes wider than she is, and a girl that barely reaches his chest. It looks like he is trying to get it on or sex up my teenage daughter and it is just gross to me, and as much as I love James Scott/EJ it is difficult to watch. Maybe if I didn't have a daughter with similar looks and size to Abigail, who is 14 years old it wouldn't bother me as much. She is a child in comparison to his maturity and size. I hope this story line ends sooner, rather than later.
Wow...I hadn't thought of it that way, but that may be part of my disdain as well. When Kate posted that pic of her doing a wall split it gave me pause because I have had to talk to my 13 year dancer daughter about not posting that kind of stuff on instagram because of the creepers out there. Not that it is wrong for Kate since she is an adult. Altho my 13 yr old is taller than Kate, it's that lithe dancer body that is similar.

Love that long look between EJ and Abby. They are so gonna be a couple.
I was actually thinking the same thing....the long look....the soft background music. And I was kind of thinking and her holding a baby too made me think that she might get pregnant.
They did look like a little family standing there with Abby holding the baby and EJ standing close to them.
Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks it. I was starting to feel nutso. See I didn't even really pay attention to EJ staring at the baby and it seems everyone noticed that. Maybe that's why I didn't get creeped out by the whole scene. :)
LOL, I was also thinking that. Great to know I am not the only one. :cheers: =)

Really love ejabby they have tons of chemistry. So glad ericole have finally admitted they love each other and no one forgot any thing. I like that eric and nicole aren't starting any thing now until his stuff with the church is for sure done. I think nicole is going to work extra hard to clear Eric's name so he can be a priest again so when he chooses her he choose her because he wanted to not because that was his only option

Ah, so Ciara is the bully...and since November, when her dreams of being a flower girl were crushed, maybe she's still upset and she is taking it out on this kid...I suppose it could have something to do with her absentee father.
I LOVE Brady like this, EM has been spectacular. I hope he doesn't clean up anytime soon.
EJ's comments about Julie have made me laugh through this nonsense with Abby. First the cruise, now saying she has been watching to many whodunits in her golden years, then the Heaven forbid comment on handling Julie like Abby.
Also loved the eye roll of EJ's when Gabi threw herself on him and him subsequently peeling her off him.

Baby Arianna Grace is the best actress on the show. Did you see that look she gave Abby.
Best line on twitter, Arianna looked at Abigail and said, You slept with Ej?!! :laugh: :roflol: That was a beautiful scene! Very Godfather with the music and all. I've watched it 19 times!

Kate Mansi is a grown woman not someone in their early-to-mid teens, and there are plenty of other women who are older than her and have the same body type. I don't see how or why it's weird/creepy for someone like her to be in a relationship with someone of EJ/JS' size. :shrug:

Eric and Nicole were so grown-up and grounded today. Just fabulously flawless.

Eric Martsolf is killing this dark/drunk Brady story. Can we keep him on the sauce?

Baby Ari continues to give the most adorable, priceless stares. Can't wait to see the look she gives the mystery guest tomorrow.

I just posted something similar to this on Twitter. :blulaugh: I'm one of those very petite women. The insinuation that the only reason that a tall man would want someone w/ a petite build is that he's interested in teenagers is just disturbing and wrong.

I don't see the issue either. And as far as age goes, aren't they something like 9 years apart in real life? She's playing a 22 year old onscreen. Adult and legal. He is in his early 30s and is also that on the show, no? I mean, I know he is technically, like 16 or 17, right? lol So, it's not inappropriate or gross imo that they have a sexual relationship onscreen. :shrug:

Yeah, there are plenty of good in-show reasons to find Ejabby unsettling but the whole "she's too short and thin for him" excuse is just kinda out there. :ermm:

What's she supposed to do? Wear platforms, stop working out, and gain a ton of weight?

It's a personal thing...because of Kate's looks & the way her character is written, I relate to the character of Abby like a daughter & my daughters are only 13, so I'm stuck with that visual because of the similarities. Lindsay Hartley is probably even more petite than Kate and I thought when she played Arianna that she & EJ were hot together. But she didn't look or act anything like my teenage daughters, like Abby does.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/358635/

Director: Albert Alarr
Scriptwriter: Janet Iacobuzio


Segment 1: The group leader asks Brady if he's drunk. Brady - No. You don't come to AA meetings drunk. That's a no no. I take this whole thing seriously. He sits down next to Theresa and adds - Way more seriously than this one, I can tell you that.

Eric is awake. He recalls telling Nicole he loves her. Dan comes in. How are you feeling? Eric - Better, thanks. When am I getting out of here? Dan - This morning for sure. You've rebounded amazingly well and fast. Eric - How about Nicole? Dan - Before we talk about Nicole there's something else I want to talk to you about. Eric - I want to talk about Nicole now. I need to know she's going to be alright.

Nicole lies in bed. She wakes up with Eric's name on her lips.

Hope - He's right! Fr. Matt, do you hear what he's accusing Ciara of doing to his son. Excuse me, my daughter does not pick on other children. She's a very kind, sweet, loving young lady. She doesn't even have it in her to be mean or hurtful or whatever you're accusing her of doing. Fr. Matt - Hope, I'm afraid it's true. Ciara has been having a problem with Chase ever since she transferred to St. Luke's last November. Hope - What do you mean, a problem? Aiden - She's made his life miserable, that's what ... Hope - I'm speaking to Fr. Matt. Aiden - Do you have any idea how hard it's been for my son to have to adjust to a new town, a new school and then come here and endure this. Fr. Matt - Hope, I know how terribly upsetting this is for you. Hope - Yes it is. But I'm the one who's sorry. I had no idea this was going on obviously. Aiden - How could you not! Hope - What! Aiden - Does your daughter not talk to you about what goes on in school or maybe you're just not interested. Maybe that is why she's acting out at school because you don't have time for her. What kind of parent are you?

Julie notices that she has upset Gabi again with her comment that she's certain something has happened to Nick. I'm so sorry. Gabi, you know you don't have to lie to me. The truth is written all over your face.

Abby - EJ, did you kill Nick. EJ lets go of her and steps back like she struck him. Good God, Abigail, after everything we've been through together. How could you even say such a thing! Abby - You told me that you found him being cruel to Gabi and that you stopped him and you're desperate to keep me talking to Hope. So tell me EJ, if you didn't kill Nick what else could it be?

Dan - Nicole is fine. She's being released too. Eric - Thank God. If you don't want to talk about Nicole, what is it? Dan - It's about the guy who tried and nearly succeeded in killing both of you. Eric - I guess we should see Hope and kind of go through that later today. Dan - I'm sure Hope will let you know what the next step is. Eric - Arianna's christening is today and I need to be there. I want to see Nicole right now.

Nicole signs some papers and asks the nurse - Are you sure they're releasing Eric Brady this morning. The nurse is sure. Nicole - I'm just really anxious to see him. Nurse - It won't be long now. Nicole recalls admitting to Eric that she loves him. The nurse asks if she's okay. Nicole - I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind.

Gabi - I don't know what you mean Julie. Julie - Yes you do. Just say it Gabi and get it off your chest. You still have feelings for Nick, don't you? I understand, after all the two of you were married however briefly. I saw you together; there was a lot of love there so you will always have that connection. I think it's a shame that the two of you couldn't work it out. I know that's exactly what Nick was hoping for before he left town. Gabi - Julie, please, I don't want ... Julie - I'm not trying to make you feel bad. I want you to know I understand and I'm there for you. Something has happened to my cousin. I know he made some terrible mistakes in his young life but at his core he's a decent guy who had a rough life. I think it's so important that we do everything we can to help him and pray to God it's not too late. Gabi - I can't take this anymore. I can't listen to this anymore. She leaves. She runs into Sonny and Will in the vestibule with Ari. Will - What's wrong? Gabi - I need air. I'll be right back. Will sees Julie - What happened?

EJ takes Abby's hand - Abigail, listen to me. I give you my word as DiMera, I did not kill your cousin, Nicholas Fallon. I did not. Abby pulls her hand away. I really want to believe that EJ. EJ - You must because it's the truth. Abby - Okay, then tell why hasn't anyone heard from him since the night he left Salem which coincidentally is the same night that you stopped him from hurting ... OMG. EJ - What? Abby - OMG! Was it Gabi? Did Gabi kill Nick?


Segment 2: Fr. Matt - Mr. Jennings I know how upsetting this is to you but we've got to be able ... the phone rings. Fr. Matt - Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can. He tells them they'll have to stop for now. I'll call you both this afternoon; we'll set up another meeting. He leaves. Hope asks Aiden to wait please. It's Aiden, right? Let me formally introduce myself. Start again? She holds out her hand - Hope Brady. Aiden - I'd say it's nice to meet you but under the circumstances ... Hope - You're upset. I get it but we're both parents and I'm assuming that you understand that kids act out from time to time for reasons we can't even fathom. And because I'm really hoping that we can empathise with each other on this ... Aiden, we can resolve this on our own don't you think? Can't we ... maybe? Aiden - No, I don't. And if we're being honest here, I suspect you're a big part of the problem.

Dan - Okay. Eric - Thank you Daniel for saving my life and Nicole's. Dan - Not necessary. You're my friend and you know how I feel about Nicole. Take care.

Nicole is dressed when Dan comes into the room. Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you. Dan wasn't expecting to see her out of bed and dressed. Nicole - I'm the world's worst patient. Listen, did the police find any leads on that fake Dr. Duvall? Dan - Brady saw a composite sketch. He saw him at the airport and realised after the fact who he was. He didn't get a name but he told Hope he was on a flight to Vegas. He could be anywhere by now. Nicole - If only Brady knew who that sadistic bastard was! He could have stopped him.

Theresa - Wanda, don't you think you should ask Brady to leave? Brady - Is that nice? I'm here to get help just like the rest of these little addicts here. Theresa - Wanda? Wanda - You can stay Brady but ... Brady - I have to behave. I understand. I'm going to be fine. I'll be good. I don't want to disrupt the room. He leans into Theresa - You were right about last night. I was drinking a little bit but I'm drunk as a skunk right now. Don't give me away. Sssh.

Will - Seriously Julie, we're about to christen our daughter. Why did Gabi run out of here like that? Sonny - Did you say something to upset her? Julie - I may have. I shared a theory about Nick. My timing may have been bad. Sonny - So you still think something happened to him? Julie - I'm more convinced than ever. Will - He's been texting everyone apparently. Julie - I don't think he has. I think that's all a lie. Sonny - A lie? Julie - I'm sure it's not Nick sending those texts.

Abby - EJ, did Gabi kill Nick? Did Gabi kill Nick and are you covering for her? EJ's cell rings. He sees it's a call from Gabi and puts the phone back in his breast pocket. EJ - What? Abigail, do you really think that Gabi is capable of murder? Your friend, Gabi? Gabi, who asked you to be her baby daughter's godmother? Murderer? Abby - What if Nick was about to attack her like you said he was. It could have easily been out of self-defence. EJ - But it wasn't. I turned up, he ran away scared, with his tail between his legs. He's embarrassed by his behaviour, that's all. That's the reason he hasn't been in touch with his family. Abby - You said recently that you heard Nick was doing really well in New York. Who did you hear that from? EJ - I'm not sure I remember exactly. Samantha probably, I'd imagine. I think she heard it from Maggie. What? Abby - I think that Julie is right. I don't think Nick is the one sending any of those texts and if everything is true that you and Gabi have said then you two were the last to see him ... last to see him alive. EJ - Oh for goodness sake Abigail. You keep assuming Nick's dead. Abby - I don't know what too assume EJ. All I know is you don't want anyone asking any questions about Nick and you are trying so desperately to keep me from talking to Hope ... that's why you slept with me, isn't it? To shut me up? EJ shakes his head no.


Segment 3: Hope - I don't even know what that means. What does that mean? Aiden - Obviously your daughter feels that she can say or do whatever she wants and get away with it. And I'm getting the impression that you are the same way. You think you can extend your hand, be polite, even charming ... Hope - Oh, I don't have a problem being rude if that's what you prefer. Aiden - I prefer that you be real. Hope - What does that even mean? Seriously. I told you I'm sorry. I sincerely, seriously am so sorry that my daughter behaved in a way that upset your son. I don't know what else you want me to do. Aiden - I want you to tell me that you're actually going to do something about it. Hope - Mr. Jennings, that is what it is, right? Aiden - That's right. Hope - This is what I plan on doing before I condemn my daughter. I'm going to go home and talk to my daughter. I'm going to hear her side of the story and then and only then, will I know how to handle this. Aiden - Oh, of course. Which translated into 21st century distracted mommy-speak means you will make excuses for her. Hope - You're a jerk. Aiden - Otherwise you'd be forced to admit you have been a neglectful parent. Hope - You are such a jerk but I'm sure you already know that, don't you? Aiden - I couldn't care less what you think of me. Hope - Definitely no gentleman. Aiden - Just keep your kid away from my son. He leaves. Hope mutters - He's such a jerk!

Dan - Every last file, gone. Nicole - Even your hard drives? At work, at home, your cell. Dan - Gone. I have no proof, and I did, that Eric was drugged. Nicole - Okay so test him again. Eric would do it. Dan - I barely got a hit the last time. These traces are almost undetectable; by now any remnants would be gone. Nicole - This is not good news. How did Eric take it? Dan - I went to tell him before I came here. I didn't think it was the right time yet. Nicole - I think my interview will sway some people but TPTB are going to want proof if they're going to accept Eric back to the church. Dan - I even hate to say this; Eric should start thinking about a life outside of the priesthood.

A nun is with Eric. Please take this. Eric - Your rosary. Nun - My brother works at the police dept. He told me that horrible man took yours so I want you to have mine. Eric - You're very kind but I couldn't. Nun - You must. It belonged to my father. Eric - Even more reason ... Nun - He was one of the best men I've known as are you. She puts the rosary in his hand. And I've always believed you are innocent. Eric - Thank you Sister. Nun - Everyone misses you at St. Luke's and Nicole too. I do hope you can come back soon. It's where you belong. She leaves.

Theresa - I put sobriety first every day. There really is nothing else. Brady starts laughing. Brady - Oh come on, are we buying this crap. No one's buying this. She doesn't mean anything she's saying. She's like the 12 step drone. Wanda - Okay Brady I think it's time for you to go. Brady - I didn't get a chance to share. Wanda - Can someone volunteer to get him home safely. Brady - I'll go. You don't have to beg. He asks Theresa - Do you want to take me? You can end this charade and just go. Theresa - Sure. They both leave.

Will - Who would be sending texts as Nick from his phone? Julie - I have no idea. She gets a call. This is Hope. I've got to see her before the Christening. My sister and I will get to the bottom of this. She leaves. Will - She won't give up. It's only a matter of time before people figure out Nick is actually dead.

EJ - I have told you Abigail repeatedly that my being with you was not some sort of plan or some sort of manipulation to keep you quiet. It is not something that I would do particularly; not to somebody I have some respect for. Abby - And I'm just supposed to believe that. EJ - Why wouldn't you? Harold knocks on the door and comes in. Sorry to disturb you sir, it's Mr. Schinn in Hong Kong. He says it's urgent. EJ takes the phone. He looks at Abby - Stay here. Yes, Mr. Schinn. Abby leaves. EJ - Of course, I completely understand.


Segment 4: Brady stumbles into the park, sits down on a bench and pulls out a flask. Theresa pulls out her cell.

Dan - I'm going on break. Would you like me to give you a ride home? Nicole - I'll walk. I need to think. Dan gets a call from Theresa. Sorry to disturb you but I'm concerned and I need your help. Dan - I'm at work and this is not ... Theresa - It's Brady. He's completely wasted. I followed him to the town square but now I just don't know what to do. Dan - Stay there, I'm on my way. Sorry, I've got to go. Nicole - Is everything okay? Dan - Listen Eric said he's coming to see you when he's released so he should be here any minute. Nicole - Okay. Dan - I'll see you at home.

Nicole is by the nurse's station when Eric comes out of his room. Nicole - I'm glad you're alright. She sees the rosary in his hand. Eric - We should talk.

EJ finishes up his call just as Harold and Gabi come into the room. Harold - Sir, she insisted this was urgent as well. Gabi - Julie knows everything. EJ - Julie has been watching far too many who-dunit's in her golden years. She doesn't know anything. Gabi - No, she said ... EJ - It doesn't matter what she says or thinks she may know about the text messages. She can't prove they're not Nick. Gabi - How do you know that's what she's been saying? EJ - It doesn't matter. The point is, it's nonsense. Gabi - It's not, it's the truth. Something horrible did happen to Nick and Kate's been sending those texts and Kate and Sami and I killed him. I killed him. OMG, this is a nightmare. This is a nightmare. She wraps her arms around EJ's waist. LOL at the look on his face!

Will takes Sonny's hand. For now, for today, let's make this day as special for us, for our little girl. Besides, it will probably be a few more weeks before people become genuinely suspicious. Abby comes in. Where's Julie? I need to speak with her immediately.


Segment 5: Theresa walks up to Brady. Brady - Hey, what ... Theresa - No words, just keep drinking. She holds the flask up for him to guzzle faster. When she hears Daniel calling she takes the flask and says - I'm begging you, no more. Thank God you're here. Brady - What's up Danny? Dan - How much have you had to drink? Brady - A little bit. I'm good. Dan tells Theresa she did the right thing by calling him. Dan and Theresa pick Brady up. Dan tells Brady he's going home.

Eric and Nicole are in the square. Eric - I was really worried about you last night. I wasn't going to feel okay until I saw you in person. Nicole - I felt the same way. Your head's not hurting or anything. Eric - No, it's nothing. Listen, what we said to each other last night. I know it must be confusing and ... Nicole - You don't have to explain. We both thought we were going to die so we can just pretend it never happened. Eric - No we can't. I meant what I said. I will not take it back. I love you Nicole. Nicole - I love you but it doesn't really matter because you love the church, right?

Hope is at the pub looking at a picture of Ciara on her phone. What's going on with you baby? Julie comes in. Hope, thank you for seeing me before the christening. Hope - Of course. I really do think you're overreacting about Nick. Julie - Well you're going to change your mind when you hear what I found out.

Will - You seem upset. Abby - I just really, really need to speak with Julie. Sonny - She left to speak with Hope. Abby - Where? Sonny - I don't know but they'll both be at the Christening later. Ari starts stirring. Will - Can you look after her for a minute. We have to go and get something straight with Fr. Matt. Abby tries to say no but Will puts Ari in her arms. She loves you. Thank you. They go into the vestibule. Will - That was 100% about Nick. If she tells Hope what she knows ... Sonny - Gabi is sunk. Will - It also implicates EJ and he actually hasn't done anything wrong for once. I've got to tell EJ. He pulls out his phone.

EJ pulls away from Gabi. You don't have anything to worry about. Hey look at me. Just focus on your beautiful baby and the christening. I will keep your secret safe. I haven't let you down so far, have I? Gabi - No you haven't. I'm sorry I know you'll handle Julie the same way you handled Abigail. EJ says something - couldn't make it out. His cell rings. It's William. I have to go to the church. Gabi - Did something happen? Gabi - I'll explain on the way.


Segment 6: Dan and Theresa help Brady into the living room of the K mansion. Dan - You're lucky you don't have alcohol poisoning. Dan tells Theresa to get a glass of water from the bar. Theresa smells the decanter. Dan - Just booze? Theresa - Yeah, I'll go find some. Brady - I've got to confess something to you. You're my friend. Dan - Yeah I am. Brady - I didn't miss your calls because my phone was off. I missed your calls because I ignored them; I didn't want to talk to you. Dan - Why is that? Brady - What's important is that Nicole and Eric could have died and I didn't even answer my phone, that's why it's important. Dan - That's a stretch. Brady - No it isn't because if I had known what was going on I could have seen that guy in the airport and known exactly what he was doing. I would have known that he was the guy. Dan - You know what the good thing is, they're both okay. Brady - I'm a bad guy. Dan - No you're not. You're a person ... Brady yells - I hate my brother so much. I hate that guy!

Eric - I have a deep devotion to the church. Nicole - And if they take you back ... Eric - I'm not sure what's going to happen. The only thing that I am clear about is that I don't want to start anything with you just because the church rejected me. Nicole - Okay. Eric - I just think it would be a sin against God and you. Listen, if we're going to do this, I need to know we're going to do this for the right reasons. So for now I just need time to find my own path regardless of what the church does do. And I know that it's a lot to ask so if you could just be patient with me. Nicole - I can. No pressure. Either way I just want you to be happy. I want that more than anything. They hug.

Julie - So you see it's not just me. Jessica and Shawn Douglas and Aunt Marie, they all agree. The texts from Nick don't sound like Nick. What was yours like? Hope - Well I guess when I think about it maybe they were a little off. Julie - You see something is not right ... Hope - I am not opening a formal investigation ... Julie, I can't. Don't look at me like that. There is no evidence of foul play here. What I can do is ask a few questions off the record. We'll see what we come up with, okay? I'm sure everything's fine. Julie - Start with Gabi. Hope - Why? Julie - When I told her my theory about Nick, her reaction was very strange. Hope - How so? Julie - Like she knew more than she was saying.

Gabi and EJ arrive at St. Luke's and meet up with Sonny and Will in the vestibule. EJ - Where's Abigail? Will - We left her in the church to watch Arianna. Gabi - Did you talk to Julie? Will - Yeah and she's with Hope right now. Gabi - OMG, that's even worse. EJ - Julie has a theory, Hope can't do anything with that. Abigail's our primary concern. I'll talk to her alone. Abby turns when EJ comes inside the church. Love how that baby just stares up at Abby.


Segment 7: EJ walks up to them and crouches down so he's at eye level with Ari. She's beautiful, isn't she? So innocent. Abby - Unlike us. EJ - You know the day that I came to Smith Island I followed you there to stop you from talking to Hope about Nick but that's not why I slept with you. I slept with you because I couldn't stop myself.

Brady is passed out on the couch. Dan tells Theresa he'll stay with him until his mom gets here. Thank you for helping out with my friend today. Theresa - I'm just like he is. I would still like some time to talk about the night I OD'd. It would really help with my own recovery. Dan - Sure yeah. I'll call you. She leaves. Outside she grins - Score one for Theresa.

Eric - I've got to get going. I don't want to be late for the Christening. Nicole - Of course. Eric - Thank you for understanding. He leaves. Hope - How do I tell him he has practically no chance of being a priest again. I don't want him to think I'm trying to sway his decision but I have to what's right by him. She looks up - But what's right!

Will - You've got to stay calm Gabi. Gabi - If one more person tells me to stay calm I am going to lose my mind. Actually there's nothing to lose because it's gone. Sonny - Let's just go outside, take a walk. Let's get some fresh air. Gabi - I'm going to go alone. She leaves. Will - Do you think EJ can convince Abigail to stay quiet. Sonny - I don't know. Julie and Hope come in. Julie - Is Abigail here. I saw her car parked outside.

Abby - Thank you for saying that EJ but even if it is true that what happened between us just happened and you and Gabi have nothing to hide, Nick is my cousin. He's my family and I need to tell Hope everything I know. EJ - I understand that and I admire it but today is this little girl's special day and I don't think you want to ruin it for her or her parents. So if you wish to say something to Hope why don't you wait until after the Christening for me, okay? Julie and Hope come in.

Kate Mansi is a grown woman not someone in their early-to-mid teens, and there are plenty of other women who are older than her and have the same body type. I don't see how or why it's weird/creepy for someone like her to be in a relationship with someone of EJ/JS' size. :shrug:
I just posted something similar to this on Twitter. :blulaugh: I'm one of those very petite women. The insinuation that the only reason that a tall man would want someone w/ a petite build is that he's interested in teenagers is just disturbing and wrong.
I so agree with this and are annoyed when I read comments that says stuff like that. ^o)

I want Julie back on the show and have her bring Doug with her. I would love her back to be Horton matriarch. She's. wonderful. :D
IA. It never made sense to make Maggie the matriarch. And I like Maggie.

I thought having EJ talk to Abigail while she was holding Ari was an interesting choice. They couldn't do a lot with the baby there, and it did give him a chance to say things to Ari while really talking to Abigail - and we can assume Ari is comfortable with both of them (future step grandfather and cousin).

Also, the tableau with Abigail standing with a baby in a church had a Madonna & Child vibe to it - that just added an extra layer of creepy in a good way.

I hope it's not an anvil to Abigail getting knocked up, though!
I honestly didn't think DAYS would do the Abby gets knocked up route with EJ. . until I saw that scene with Ari today. It was an interesting choice to have them alone with a baby having that convo. Definite foreshadowing.

And having unprotected sex with EJ is always like winning the lottery. . .If he can impregnate a supposed barren woman like Nicole TWICE, he can certainly knock up a young, fertile mertle like Miss Abby.

I never thought I'd enjoy seeing EJ with the 20-something crowd, but he is definitely more enjoyable and likeable outside Sami's orbit of suckage!

Yeah, there are plenty of good in-show reasons to find Ejabby unsettling but the whole "she's too short and thin for him" excuse is just kinda out there. :ermm:

What's she supposed to do? Wear platforms, stop working out, and gain a ton of weight?
It's a personal thing...because of Kate's looks & the way her character is written, I relate to the character of Abby like a daughter & my daughters are only 13, so I'm stuck with that visual because of the similarities. Lindsay Hartley is probably even more petite than Kate and I thought when she played Arianna that she & EJ were hot together. But she didn't look or act anything like my teenage daughters, like Abby does.
I think the criticism on Abby acting like teen and that why she wrong for ej while Sami ej currently fiancee acting like child and almost short as Abby and yet not problem with her

Um JS, your line delivery is super weird when you're making goo goo eyes at baby Ari while talking about sleeping with Abby.
Yeah, he was starring at the baby little to long I think. I was like, come on James its getting weird. :huh: :D Oh, well.... if I was the director I would have demanded a retake.

I admit, It would have been better if he (James) stopped looking at the child and then turned seriously to Kate while telling her that message. Maybe James was trying to convey that EJ was saying something that he (EJ) wouldn't have admitted so sincerely and was maybe afraid and instead looked at the innocent child. Maybe because if EJ had looked at Abby he would have maybe not been able to resist himself from kissing her? Who knows.

The child Ari was amazing. i think she sensed the intensity and drama between Abby and EJ (Kate and James) that she was intrigued by them, hence followed the conversation like that. Even the child could sense their amazing chemistry. LOL :teehee:
Ari has followed conversations between Freddie and Chandler, too. She's a future soap star... she has the soap stare perfected! :D
