I'm really hoping CB returns & Gabi can get an early release. IMO, she's really got the making of a strong romantic heroine. She's sympathetic & has an emotional connection with the audience & could be the launching point for a strong, genuine romantic relationship with someone else in a key Salem family. Perhaps one of Sonny's brothers? Can I go ahead & ship the story possibilities of Alexander & Gabi?
That would be brilliant - Gabi falling for Sonny's brother. I love it.
Even better, if Melanie HAS to come back, maybe she comes back first & hooks up with Alex, but does something stupid so that he breaks up with her & THEN meets Gabi & falls for her, but Melanie decides to go back into conniving bitch mode to break up Alex/Gabi both to get him back & to get revenge on Gabi because of the kidnapping...

okay see that would be interesting. MB was pretty good in conniving bitch mode.

I agree with this. Of all the younger actresses that have been on Days the last few years (MB, KM, CB, SH), CB is the only one that invokes the sympathetic/protective feelings that the audience needs to have toward a soap heroine.
And a couple of them even evoked 'want to bludgeon a fictional character' feelings among the audience, so that's pretty good too.

I see you've moved to the bargaining stage for the Five Stages of Grief. :blulaugh:

I need to take a moment to applaud KA's subtle acting. You could see the variation in her facial expression as Gabi moved through her confession. She was reacting to what Gabi was saying while trying to look like she wasn't and trying to stay professional. You could tell that there were moments where Hope was ready to explode and start crying, and she seemed to over-compensate anger for hurt/disappointment at the end when Gabi was trying to apologize for her actions & Hope told her that Nick didn't deserve to die.

I'm surprised no one WTF-ed at Will's "sorry for your loss" comment to Hope as he was leaving. As much as Will disliked Nick, they were still cousins.

Hating Nick does not mean he can't realize that Hope cared for him.

Will did dislike Nick and for good reason but I think that Will can see that no matter what Nick did to him, other's ***HOPE*** see Nick's actions differently either due to lacking facts or thinking that Nick getting help could change things. Will I think stopped thinking of Nick as family when Nick refused to stop blackmailing Will and continued to keep going after Arianna... but at the same time I think that Will gets that Hope doesn't share he feeling about Nick and simply showed the fact that he got that...

I hope Nick's family supporters Hope, Julie and Maggie take stock of the fact that they missed that Gabi was terrorized by Nick. It's true that the families in abuse situations, especially on the side of the victimizer, often are oblivious. I especially hope that Maggie and Julie show a little regret for constantly pushing Gabi toward reconciling with Nick.

KA delivered the Nick didn't deserve to die perfectly. There was no smug, no self righteousness. Just a statement of fact.

Found it interesting that it was Nick and Sonny's conversation that clued Gabi in to Nick's intentions.

Just watched this episode.

And WHAT a WONDERFUL episode it was!!!

I really have to wonder how the Sweeps are already one week from over and only now we are getting these cliffhangering turning points to these stories! Well, the ratings were excellent this time last year with 2.0s and even 2.2s, so hopefully these scenes and episodes will bring it back to that.

Okay, KUDOS to Camila Banus. My Lord, I will really be anyone of the first in line to admit I never saw she could have this in her. I mean, it's been talked about that she's improved a lot as an actress, but this was excellent, a palpable performance. Wonderful. Made one feel what she was going through.

And GV. Dear GOODNESS he is good with these reveal scenes!!! It was everything that is so great about him, the sinister look, the stoned eyes, the expression, the seriousness. Everything he excelled in as a priest and EVERYTHING that he portrayed and was visible like it was after the Kristen reveal. And see *THIS* is why I think he makes such an excellent priest and why I think he should go back to that, because it can truly demonstrate his strength, seriousness and determination. It's like he's been playing so loosely in this meantime. Man, that was good! He should actually be betrayed every other week just to get the reaction we got today.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for Eric. I still remember him in Nicole's facing screaming at her and calling her a rapist etc.
:glare: You had to remind me.

The fact that they were cousins doesn't mean a damn thing.

Nick being dead is NO loss to Will or Lucas....if I were them I wouldn't care either.

I said weeks ago to a friend that if Gabi wound up being the killer we'd see "generated flashbacks" of her in the apartment overhearing the gun discussion and that she probably overheard the Sonny/Nick discussion as well. I just usually don't nail it!

I still wish that there'd been two shooters, with one being Caroline. :(

The Rafe/ Jordan scenes on the other hand, just seemed very out of place and pointless in an episode like this! #FF

If we are this point in the stages of grief and she's not even confirmed by the time she is confirmed we'll be at the acceptance phase....

CB did some great work to day. Gonna miss the Gabster when she's gone.
Looking forward to her goodbye scenes now and the reaction when people find out about the Daysaster.

Damn! Gabi/CB had me in tears. It was so heartbreaking. I am so glad the writers had her (actress AND character) go out on such a high note. SHE was the emotional anchor that gave this pitiful storyline substance. I've said it all along the writers placed a protective cushion around Gabi and her going out in such an amazingly written sacrificial manner just supports my belief. Bravo CB and Writers.

Sami's reaction of course was filled with ALL KINDS of WTFuckery! As in first she gasps at air, differently than she did on Friday I might add, when she SMILED (lol!!! What, had she been going to the Chandler Massey School of Inapproriate Smirking or what was that???). And then afterwards she just shrugged it all off! As in, "oh well, who'd a thunk it, well nevermind, let's go get some coffee or whatever". Ghhhh.
