Today was so much better than yesterday! What a difference a scriptwriter can make!
I think Brady is being a real tool when it comes to Eric. Eric is as much a victim of Kristen as Brady himself is ... and Brady's the one that brought her into the fold and led to Eric's humiliation. Get over yourself already!
Loved Sonny's reaction to everything Gabi was saying and yet I can also see Gabi's point - she desperately wants to believe that Nick has changed so that what happened would just go away and never be mentioned again. Loved Sami's passionate tirade about the woman Kate is and I like how she's telling Nick to put the cards on the table.
Nicole was just a little bit hyper today ... LOL! I liked how Eric came right out and told her he loved her. I also like that there isn't a shadow of a doubt that he chose her over the church as she never got the chance to tell him they got the evidence to clear his name.
And Abby ... absolutely love that she tells EJ exactly what she's thinking and feeling. No fear from her. And EJ may want to move forward with Sami but something tells me letting go of Abigail isn't going to be all that easy for him. And I agree with the person who said they don't get an obsession vibe from her ... I know that's what the spoilers keep pushing but I'm not seeing that on screen yet and I hope I never do! I'd be truly surprised if they go the obsession route with her again, it would be such a disappointment....and frankly no need to bring Ben in if they were going to go obsession with Ejabby.....it seems that their taking the story and having Abby move on from Ej realizing that he might not be the best thing for her, no matter how sexually attracted and good he makes her feel, only to have EJ be the one that has a problem with her moving on. Ej's really into obsessions more than Abby is...and if he can't really get over her being with Ben or anyone else then no matter what he does to 'try to make it work with Sami' that won't help him one bit if Abby is the one that continues to be on his mind post Sami and him patching things up.

Ericole was adorable but since Nicole has all the information and the only one who knows about it... I have a REALLY bad feeling.
I do too, which bums me out. Six months ago, I would've totally bought Nicole burying that information to ensure Eric couldn't be a priest. But he JUST told her that he asked to be released from his vows because he's in love with her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. What possible motivation would she have for not coming clean???? I am so scared, lol. I hope they don't go the"obviously Nicole destroys her happiness route" here...been there, done that...let her grow.

I said it in the upthread, Sonny is right. But pushing Gabi to see the truth is going to work. Best thing, get her on Marlena's couch. In real life, Marlena would be to close to be her therapist, but whatever, it's a soap and I like when Marlena does her job.
My only fear is when John returns, they will have her mooning over him like a love sick puppy. Please writers! Don't let that happen!!!

this is SO TOTALLY old-school 1980s supercouple soap and I. AM. HERE!
So am I. OMG, how I have been missing a slow build (super)couple on soaps. Ericole are now my #2 after Mason and Julia. I just hope my favorite youtube site for quick Ericole uploads will not disappoint. Excuse me please <runs off>
Love your avatar :wub2:
Thanks...they don't write characters, who develop and are not basically there for plot points anymore... like the Mason Capwell character. God, he was so sophisticated, cultivated, so handsome, sexy and so mean often ...but you got to understand why he was who he was with all his flaws, because Daddy Don ...oops CC Capwell, lol... never loved him like he loved his kids with Sophia! They don't write character growth like that anymore unfortunately. I agree! Mason was one of my favorite soap characters ever!
I always loved watching his scenes with CC and Sophia because his relationships with both of them were so complex. Also enjoyed his complicated relationship with Eden, who was clearly the favored child after Channing died!

I don't see Ej becoming obsessed with Abigail. You cannot become obsessed with someone who hands it over to you on a silver platter. And we have all seen how "easy" Abigail is, no way is she going to not give Ej whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.

At this point in time I'd rather have Eric and Nicole fully commit to their love and if it has to be that we can't have any happy couples I'd rather have Stefano's henchman Bruno take one of them out with a sniper attack than any internal lack of trust.

Exactly. Not sure why Ben would be needed if they did a fatal attraction story with Abby and EJ. Which, Abby hasn't had anything like that. Spoilers may say she "clings" to him and maybe she will then, but today's episode seemed more about how uncomfortable she was in the situation versus EJ. He tried not to cook with them but she tried to keep from going over period. And then tried to leave right after. And the Sami going overboard thanking her for being there was strictly to make her feel like crap (which she did).
I'm getting the feeling the story is going to be where Abby knows it's wrong to want to be with EJ but she also knows they can't keep pretending "this is the last time" every time and EJ is the person is in denial about it.

Yeah while she was having her 10 hour monologue today explaining everything with the Kristen/Eric stuff... I was like "Why is she doing this?" "why not have her and Daniel talking about it instead of her talking to herself?" Well now I see why. They want Nicole to be the only one to really knows what happens so that she can keep it from Eric. First Ejami, and now probably Ericole... I have bad luck as a shipper. I give up...lol It's just frustrating because this story has been all about Nicole's growth, as well as Ericole's love. Like I said, I would've bought her doing something desperate and self-destructive to hang onto Eric months ago. But after her growth of this last year and, especially, the way she stood up for herself in the face of his rape accusations, I find it hard to believe that she'd suddenly be so insecure that she'd lie to a man who just renounced his vows because of how much he loves her. I hope my hunch is wrong because I'm going to be pissed if they throw away a year of great build-up for a non-sensical plot twist just to create drama.

Can't wait to see that, lol.

I really liked Ejabby scenes played out differently then I thought! Now i'm mad at what they are going to do to Nicole, I just know they're going to make her do something stupid and ruin her own happiness. I love Nicole growing and learning from her mistakes why take her back there again!

They want Nicole to be the only one to really knows what happens so that she can keep it from Eric. First Ejami, and now probably Ericole... I have bad luck as a shipper. I give up...lol Honestly, as much as I hate the WTF plot twist in Ejami's story just for the sake of the drama, I hate it twice as much in Ericole's story. TomSell did a shitty job of slapping Ejami together a year ago without telling a proper story, so it's easier for me to accept that they're doing a shitty job of busting them up without telling a proper story. Plus, any coupling involving EJ or Sami is just a time bomb waiting to go off, so I always knew it was just a matter of when.
With Ericole, they actually took the time and told a really good story. We not only saw the feelings for the characters grow between them, but we also got to see a great growth arc for Nicole as a character. There was a lot of angst and drama along the way, but the angst was external and still kept the character-driven storyline intact. And now to throw that all away for the sake of creating a stupid dramatic twist? Yeah, it pisses me off big time. :soapbox:
Sigh... I hope I'm ranting in vein and we're wrong about where this is headed, but I really don't think I am.

We do.... sadly we do. Still maybe we can hope for a miracle. something tells me, she's going to tell him, mostly it's a spoiler that led me to that. I don't think Daniel will come back and agree to stay quiet.
I think she will be afraid with the evidence in his hand, he will turn back to the cloth. But I don't think he will, because he's realized he will never get her out of his heart and doesn't want too.
BTW, I'm rooting for Nick!! Take'em down!!!

Can someone explain to me why Nick wants to work for Kate again? Like have they explained his motive from his point of view?
