And there was even something that some speculated and or wanted to happen on Friday.... Hope mentioning Ciara and being reminded of how she was taken away from her.... that was unexpected imo but a nice piece of writing the way the show should keep remembering things...

Why would Abigail react? I don't recall the writers linking Andrew's actions to the explosion. I think the emotional scene between the two Will be regarding Nick's death.

ETA: That scene where Abby went to Gabi pleading for help with Nick and will probably the focus of their talk. I would think Abby is going to identify and somewhat understand Gabi's desperation.

imo, today is really showing how subtle & nuanced CB's performances have been for months. I really believe she's been playing this subtext all along
This is exactly how I have felt about her for the last few months. She has done some wonderful work in this story. I was already a little teary on Friday, thinking about Gabi having to leave her baby. Watching today's scenes, later tonight, will surely turn me into a puddle! :(

IKR! My tears were streaming like a waterfall. I was so hoping none of my family would pass through our living room lest they see me boohoo crying because of a soap opera character.

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 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.
I think we've seen that Hope's eyes have been opened to just how extensive Nick's terrorizing was and how many people were afraid of him. And we know that she feels guilty about not talking to him after her talk with Will & Sonny.

I just cannot agree with Gabi being a heroine here. After what she did to Melanie...whom I hate with every fiber of my being, mind you. She kept that a secret and I will always remember her snide remarks to Sonny and chad whenever it was brought up. She thought she could get away with it forever and guess what? I am so damned glad it came out today..bout time it did. And I have no sympathy for her in her killing of Nick. She or any one of them could have gone to the police at any time. It didn't have to come to this..Nick died because 1: To hide their crimes and 2: because the writers are fucking idiots. I know Blake wanted to leave the show, ugh but not this way, damn it!
So its ok for Nicole to keep secrets because she's a popular rootable character but not Gabi. Sorry folks wether I'm a fan or not rights right and wrongs wrong.
I never once said what Nicole did was right..not once! The damned writers cannot write for her at all. But yeah I am more sympathetic for her then I ever would be for Gabi. I just have a bad feeling that they finally listened to the fans about hating GAGGIFER and their plan are to break them up and have Nicole and Dr. Dan together. That would be a shit fest.
I just now heard from a fellow DOOL watcher that AZ was leaving the show too.

BTW don't horrify me with such ideas!

Will&Sonny


This played out almost exactly the way that I have expected all along that it would (right down to Sami likely lashing out at Jordan later this week [or is it next week? Eh, soon, in any case] for distracting Rafe when Gabi needed him), but -- based on the spoilers for Wednesday's episode -- I didn't expect Gabi to confess to her involvement in Melanie's kidnapping this soon.

I'm glad that Sonny realized that Will was lying to protect him. Now I'm interested in seeing how Will reacts when he finds out about the secret that Sonny has been keeping about Gabi for almost two years. I don't expect it to cause a huge rift in Will and Sonny's relationship or anything, but I'm still eager to see those scenes.

Camila Banus' performance today was definitely good enough to make her a contender for next year's Emmy nominations. I know that there probably isn't anyone here who will agree with me, but as far as I'm concerned, what she did today was better than anything that Blake Berris did during his entire second stint on the show.

Frankly, I wish this episode had been all about the murder case. The scenes concerning Nicole's lies killed the pace and just felt like annoying distractions from the real story -- to me, at least.

Maybe I just don't pay a lot of attention but I don't know why Jennifer was even on today, and why Marlena was thrown into this nonsense. Why did I have to watch Jennifer-Sad-Clown mooning over a ridiculous contrived group photo of the New-Best-Friends-Forever and fretting about needing to talk to Daniel?

I wish Gabi could get a one on one private goodbye with CM's Will. Damn that would be all kinds of heartbreaking.

I remember when Camila Banus first joined the show. Gabi was the most pointless character and people couldn't understand why TPTB were keeping the character, let alone recasting her. And Banus' previous work on OLTL was hardly impressive. In fact, for the first couple of years on this show, Banus was dead on screen. But, Days Acting School kicked in again and, as is the case with most younger actresses, she's leaving with a bang, doing her best work in 4 years. I'm not sure when her last day is (Wednesday?), but I'm gonna use this opportunity to wish her good luck in the big world out there.

Will is telling Arianna that Daddy and Sonny aren't going anywhere and they will do everything they can to fill in the blanks.
so they are just assuming Gabi's going to jail for a long time and aren't even thinking of fighting it in court??? wth.
The Days world not revolving around Daniel revolves around WilSon.
And I'm SO glad it does, at least there is a wonderful half to watch to go with the unwatchable one.

One thing I liked about Gabi's tearful confession was when she said, she couldn't go to the police, I'm not sure, but to me she intimated that she couldn't go to the police because of Nick's relationships within the Salem PD....I'll have to watch again to be sure though.

AND, as I'm sure everyone noticed - THERE WAS NO DANIEL today!!!

Which is the way it *should* have been when those big scenes were going down!

No, she meant she couldn't go because of the Andrew situation that Nick was holding her hostage with.

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...


I would hate that only because from past experiences Melanie always wins and guys fall all over them self for her even though there are better more attractive females like Stephanie, Gabi, Abby etc. I don't need to see that again. It was bad enough when she was on the show the first time.
