I have seen so much growth with Camilla, I can't say the same about GG. Rafe is smug and arrogant and not in a way I enjoy. He sounds so monotone to me, he leaves me feeling annoyed. For me his coma didn't last long enough.
How is he smug and arrogant? I feel like we aren't watching the same tv show. Gabi does things to only benefit herself
That's her OPINION.
When did I ever say that it isn't her opinion? I'm asking how come she feels that he is arrogant and smug. I happen to see it differently which is also my opinion

No I'm making it up out of thin air. Of course I watched it. Just because I have been watching for only a year doesn't mean I don't have opinions about characters. I watched every single thing she did to Melanie


You could have just said that you've gone back and watched some of the stuff you've missed. I have, too. That's why I was curious.
What do you mean? The show has been on since 1965. I cannot exactly go back and watch the parts I've missed. The episodes don't even stay online on the nbc website for long enough for me to just go back and watch. I don't have to go back and watch anything. I know enough to not like Gabi. I don't have to like her. I feel like you're saying my opinions aren't valid. I think they are.
YouTube - I started watching again in September 2012, so the only way I could see Gabi, Melanie and the stalker scenes were to see them on Youtube because they happened in the summer of 2012. The only parts I saw live were the fallout when Nick returned and Melanie left Salem.

Elvis DiMera, attorney at law (haha), proved today that he's unethical and should be disbarred. He had no business jumping in to represent Gabi knowing that he would be advising her in a case which he is eminently involved and having selfish motives to advise her to confess.

No I watched full episodes on television. I started watching when the whole ordeal when EJ ran for mayor in Salem occurred.

I know what Nicole did was wrong but Eric being a former priest he sure is quick to hate and slow in forgiving, isn't he? Throws tantrums and forgets that he is supposed to forgive and not judge.
Damn. He's perfect for JenJen. :facepalm:

Also a round of applause to the babies again. During Will's speech not only was she attentive, she actually looked concerned. Then looked over at Sonny when Will said his name! Never get rid of those two.
Those babies are so smart! It's too bad that Will's good-bye speech last week had to be in the HTS because Ari was unusually (but naturally) inattentive because of all the extra people milling around.

The incident you're referring to happened nearly two years ago, not one -- hence the confusion. If you watched those episodes, you've been watching for more than one year, even if you don't realize that yourself. One year ago, Andrew was long gone, Melanie was long gone, Will was recovering from a gunshot wound, and Arianna had just been born.
Okay it's two years. My point is I haven't been watching very long. At least I don't consider two years very long.

Then, depending on when in that story arc you started watching, you might have been watching since 2011. That story arc ran from the fall of 2011 to the spring of 2012 or so. In any case, you can definitely boast that you've been watching for more than one year. ;)

Lately watching this show for a week feels like watching for a year. "Miss a day miss "...not a whole lot!

Camilla! When she used her fingers to point to her eye and spoke of seeing Nick, I just marveled at what a really good actor she became while I watched. Then I thought what a damn shame she's right behind BB and about all the great scenes that could have been.

Eric is just ludicrous. What an asshole. I liked Nicole's explanation. Just wished she'd made as big a deal as Hope did about any evidence she and Douchial found being non-admissible in court. It would have bolstered her (actually good) argument. St. Eric DID tell her he chose her. I guess he did so because moving into the abbey with the creepy monk as a way to stay in the church didn't sound as pleasant as being with Nicole. This whole Catholic church won't forgive Eric Brady for his "sin" is ludicrous, anyway.

The Rafe/ Jordan scenes on the other hand, just seemed very out of place and pointless in an episode like this! #FF
Weren't Sami & EJ in bed while the whole Smith Island thing was going on too? I remember the juxtaposition of the two scenes then as well.

I agree, CB was just wonderful today. I agree with the others -- I wish she had gone into more detail about things getting physical with Nick and, specifically, that he had tried to rape her. I actually liked Nabi before it all went creepy-stalkery/abusive.

At this point I'm willing to wait and see how Eric reacts. He just found out what Nicole did so I'm okay with him being pissed off. If she turns into the town pariah again, I'll be super-angry, though. The evidence was inadmissible in court and the Church may or may not have believed it was real, but we'll never know. I agree, the Church not forgiving him is a little ridiculous.

As angry as I am that the writers made such an intolerable mess of the Ericole storyline, I'm more upset over the wasted potential. It would have been so fabulously angsty if Nicole had given him the evidence and Eric had gone back to the Church and begun pining over Nicole, realizing that being a priest isn't what he really wanted and that he was in it for the wrong reasons. So much glorious potential down the crapper.

Thanks, idiots.

Its a device to show how happy and carefree they are as we the audience know their life is just about to come crashing down.

Earlier you seemed to not like being questioned regarding your opinion & felt like your opinion wasnt being validated.

Then, you proceeded to say the last poster & you seemed to not watch the same show because her opinion differed from yours.

I was just pointing out that's her opinion.

That was the second time he was gung ho eager to represent the suspect. How noble :puke:

Rafe is the I am always right kind of guy. He is a law abiding officer when it suits him. I found it so ridiculous that he was willing to cover up the fact that Sami shot EJ, but he wouldn't lie about Bernardi because of how truthful and lawful he is. When Jordan said she had a job offer and was going to move, he made it all about him, he didn't offer to go with her, he wanted her doing the sacrificing. The way he talks kind of reminds me of Sylester Stallone in Rocky, before he got a little smarter, the only difference is I liked Rocky. He made it work and GG doesn't, at least not for me.

The evidence was inadmissible in court and the Church may or may not have believed it was real[.]
As I have pointed out before (but not in this thread), these arguments miss the point. Whether the evidence was admissible in court is irrelevant. Whether Eric would have been allowed to return to the priesthood on the strength of the evidence is irrelevant. More than anything else, what is relevant is that Nicole took away -- from the person she claims to love -- the one thing that could have given him peace of mind, the one thing that could have proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was innocent -- if not to anyone else, then at least to himself. Everything else that could have come out of her doing the right thing and giving him the evidence is secondary to that.

No matter how sympathetic Nicole is or how good Arianne Zucker is at portraying her, what Nicole did was not an act of love, period. Eric has every right to be upset with her for as long as he wants to be. If the tables were turned and Nicole had learned that Eric had destroyed evidence that could have proven that her father had forced her into the porn industry and that she had never been a willing participant, I'm sure that she would have been livid, even if he'd had what he believed was a very good reason for doing so.
