Given how well it played when Abby had to hop up on a box to kiss him at the Horton cabin I can only imagine how their size difference would play in a shower scene. Definitely a #TeamAwkward moment. :unsure:
Kate's only about 3" shorter than Ali. It's not like we're comparing Ari's height to Kate's.
Also, what's the big deal about height? Need I remind any ER fans of Abby & Luka's height difference?

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
You seriously don't think they could take this story into a possible redemption story for EJ? Really? You don't think that if they wanted to they could easily write Abby falling in legit love with the guy knowing exactly who he is but still falling for him anyway seems similar to something they did with Jack and Jen? You don't think that this thing can easily turn into something more for EJ and he can feel that she's not worthy of his love? NOtice how the majority that see similarities are seeing similarities in the characters with a possibility for a similar story, not that it's there yet or anything...shit they even got a guy who might be coming on playing a fucking guitar who is rumored to be a love interest for Abby ? Come on now....Emilio anyone?
If they wanted to, they could do anything. But they're not doing it now. The comparison doesn't work at all now. But quite frankly, if they choose to do that, that sounds moronic. Covering a murder and cheating are so far from being the beginning of a redemption story. And while I think they could decide to go there one day, I don't think they will. Either way, you're comparing something that could possibly happen some time in the future, not what's actually happening. What's actually happening is nothing like J&J. If that changes one day, the comparisons will work.
Exactly. I mean, to me it's the same as saying that Fetch are like Tom and Alice because Jen is their granddaughter, Dan is a doctor and it's possible that they may write them like Tom and Alice some day.

Plus, if we go by what is actually happening on-screen, the story is most likely to go the exact opposite direction of J&J. EJ isn't being redeemed through interacting with Abby. Instead, Abby is being dirtied up through interacting with EJ.
And it will be "Poor Abby, being taken advantage of by an evil Dimera", while Jen, Julie, Adrienne and the like pat her on the back and console her while shooting EJ death glares. Abby will dry her tears and vow to live a better, moral life. Nobody will know she was the aggressor and pursued him with the passion of a fat kid to a candy store.

I could scream and puke from the predictable and lame conclusion of it all.

Next.

Question:

I really don't remember Jack being all that bad. Yes, I remember him kinda being crooked but if memory serves he was NOTHING like EJ. EJ can be downright evil and cruel. If anything Chad seems more similar to Jack but not really.

Exactly.

Sparty's analogy was perfect. Alicia Menshew is a tiny little thing yet in her scenes on AMC w/James Scott they looked fine...because she didn't look pre-pubescent.

I mean...honestly? The jokes/gifs just write themselves. :laugh:

I don't read every single post, so what is it about? If its not height, then maybe its age. But that does not make sense because when most men trade in a woman they usually do gravitate toward a younger model. Very few 40 yr olds leave a 35 yr. old for a 50 yr old. Hugh Hefner has lived a good long life with that philosophy. So have George Clooney, Clint Eastwood, Micheal Douglas, David Letterman, Howard Stern, etc. Abby has been shown to be of legal age. But I, too will be glad when the discussion of their appearance together is over.

I recommend reading the posts. Spartan's post explained it well in this thread. I've explained it multiple times in multiple threads. I don't want to explain it again, but the constant reminders or other short people being with tall people aren't enhancing the discussion at all because it's not about her height.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

If it's about the age and not the height then focusing on a 'box' to describe a step that has always been at the Horton cabin isn't helping....I just wish they would have left EJ closer to his age, then Abby could be the one that would be fucking a teen.

It's just jokes related to other factors which make Abby come off as youthful. Logistics such as true heights or ages or whatever have nothing to do with it.

This is how snark works.

Good thing it's also not about the age.

I'm not following why it's such a big deal why people don't like this pairing.

Whatever the reason, it's their prerogative & doesn't matter if anyone else gets it or agrees with it or not.

I think EJ and Abby are awkward as hell. I've said it from the beginning.

I think Abby stepping up on that BOX was awkward & hilarious at the same time.

She does look way younger than him& she is shorter than him. I don't really care about that other than it makes for some pretty good jokes. I think the fact that EJ acts like he's 50 half the time plays into the age gap problem as much as Abby looking like she's a twelve year old waiting on Daddy to take her to ballet lessons.

I hope to gawd when the shower scene plays EJ grunts like a Papaw when he picks her up. (that is if there isn't a soap box there for her to step on)

Everyone is picking on KM because she is vertically challenged! Give it rest already.
Especially since she's drinking milk, she still has time to grow. Be fair, people!
It does a body good especially when washing down a Flintstone chewable.
Watch out!

It's cute that Abby is too young to remember those "I'm drinking Milk"commercials..

I liked this post for the Luka reference as it puts the visual of Goran Visnjic in my head.

He is reason enough for my wanting to learn Croatian.

Mmmmmmmmm.....

But I digress, apologies.

I don't think EJ does either... And Abby is 5 years older than EJ ;)

I need Feb. 4th to hurry up and get here. So Nick is alive and EJ still sleeps with Abigail. Looks like it's more about helping himself than Sami. :roflol:
