Sonny and Will's emotions were clearly all over the place (I actually liked and understood the direction they took both Will & Sonny today, basically it was Shock and dealing with Arianna because that what the needed to do.. they had a lot of different reactions to what was going on... from what it all meant to Arianna to the fact that Gabi by confessing her crime in fact cleared Will's name. Unlike Sami however they focused on the baby because that what the could do and what they thought Gabi would want them to, meanwhile Sami went looking around HTS assuming that Rafe must have finally heard the news about Gabi and when it was pretty clear he didn't she still acted like he had... Well Sami's intentions were good her follow through was typical and off. Sonny focus was Arianna much like Will, he even call the SPD because both wanted another change to speak with Gabi before she goes to jail. EJ was the one person who could do something for Gabi and he was the one with her, and EJ could do something for Gabi that Will nor Sonny could because he is a lawyer...

Nah. Like was just mentioned, I think Rafe is a prime example of how the tone can change here. I haven't seen it change to that level with Nicole, although like I said, it has changed. I don't get why anyone would say Nicole is untouchable here. I've never found that to be true. Maybe that's a different issue entirely. My perception is relevant to now, not the stuff four years ago. The way her current story is discussed and who is to blame, etc....I'm basing it on that. To me, it's still a predominant underwriting theme in many posts here. That's not a bad thing either, to me. AZ is a kickass actor and if I was more invested in Ericole, I would be chiming in way more than I do. Edited by spartan, Jun 2 2014, 09:51 PM.

As a card-carrying Daniel hater, I would love it if there was a significant change in the writing for him so I would stop hating him so much. I mean, I find it comic that just when I think it looks like it's going to turn around, the writers do the opposite of what it would take to win me over. I do try and train all my ire on the writers but lately SC's Daniel Smash emoting has grated as well. But I truly believe that if they dialed down the propping and actually wrote Daniel as a kind of controlling jerk but who meant well, which is how I think SC plays him, I think a significant part of the Daniel hate would die down. |

OMG! Lord knows I can not stand Gabi. But for the first time ever, my heart broke for her. I was crying right along with her LOL. CB brought it home today and she made me feel for Gabi damn it. Just like that, Gabi has been redeemed. Voila!!! LOL at Rafe fucking his brain out while his little sister's life is blowing apart. What a selfish moron! IMO, Rafe does not give 2 shit about Gabi. he has not been there for her since he got out of the coma. He has been focusing on his life and Jordan period. There is no excuse for his lack of involvement in her life since he is the only family she has in town. Rafe knows something is wrong and Gabi is in some kind of trouble that involves Nick. You would think he would try to investigate and dig in to find out so he could maybe help his sister. He tried to get her to confide once and then he gave and went on to his life, not giving her a second thought. I bet if it had been about taking down Ej, he would be all over it. I remember all too well how obsessed he was about proving that Ej was behind the sydnapping. Yet when it comes to protect his baby sister, he has no fuck to give. Sadly, Rafe did not care about Ariana either, he chose Sami over her. On the other hand, you have to give the devil his due, Ej has been like a big brother to Gabi. He has been there for her, supporting her, no judgement or hidden agenda. I just assumed that he was doing it for Sami's sake since Gabi is like family. But today, I could see that Ej truly cares for her and was watching out for her best interest. I like that Ej can be a ruthless SOB perfectly capable to put a hit on enemy without losing sleep over it LOL, but he can be so devoted and protective of those he cares about. It is realistic because no one is totally bad or totally good IRL IMO. I loved how layered both Ej and sami are. I was surprised Hope was so cold and incompassionate toward Gabi. You would think that she would feel some empathy after hearing the kind of emotional torture Nick put Gabi through. Since Nick died, Hope has been hearing just deeply damaged and sadistic Nick was and how many lives he tried to destroy for his own selfish reasons. Despite knowing that, she was very unsympathetic. Whatever bitch! I have always thought that Ari was created for Will/Wilson to give Will a child that would be the next generation of Brady to continue the legacy since he probably will not have another child (unless they go the adoption/surrogate route). Today I realize why they kept giving CB the A stories while underutilizing KM for so long. It is simply because CB is a more talented of an actress than KM will ever be. Another great loss for Days. They have lost so many of their talents in such a short span of time. So sad. |

I was referring to characters. With the exception of baby Ari I can't think of a character who could go up against Ciara and come up well. Take note of that Theo and Chase. Edited by concerned, Jun 2 2014, 10:02 PM.

Maybe and maybe it's relevant this week, but I don't think that's been the case over the last couple of years and really not even until this particular story started. But I'm totally going to contribute to proving that theory later this week when I start our next countdown, lol. |

I was right, Gabi absolutely killed me today! I do agree that the Wilson scenes were a little off, but I didn't feel like they were totally insensitive. They definitely wanted to be there for Gabi, but the baby needed to be their priority. Too bad Will wasn't thinking like that when he made his dopey confession. I also think the gravity of what was coming for Gabi and Ari did start to register for Sami as well. Once the relief over Will settled down she did become a bit more somber. CB really killed her scenes today. It makes me sad to see her go! Edited by Kimba73, Jun 2 2014, 10:06 PM.

I think that if we saw a scene where Hope & Gabi were alone, Hope would be more compassionate and understanding. With the DA there and Hope being the lead investigator on the case, she had to keep a professional image. But even still, there were a few moments where you could see Hope reacting to what Gabi was saying and trying to keep her emotions/reactions at bay. Hope's definitely gonna crack one of these days and all those feelings she's been trying to keep in are gonna explode out of her. We saw a few brief moments at the start of her investigation, but nothing much since. |

I actually thought she came across very sympathetic. She was frantic about finding Rafe and she was sad about Gabi and Ari's separation. I thought Hope was the only person who was very cold to Gabi. I am hoping that she'll show some compassion towards her tomorrow. Her sainted cousin tormented and terrorized the poor girl and all Hope was thinking about is how Nick didn't deserve to die. Well, Gabi didn't deserve to be controlled or to become an object of obsession for him. |

I disagree. Gabi is an adult. she made her choices. she made one bad choice after the other. Wilson are in no way responsible for what gabi did. No one is but her. I feel for her for the first time, but she could and should have handled things differently. It is not like she was fighting alone, everyone was rallying up around her, supporting her and trying to help her. She just made the wrong choice poor thing. I was surprised though that Wilson did not seem all that concerned about Gabi. I am sure they care and feel bad, but they seemed more focused on Ari and each other which is understandable I guess. Ironically, the only person who seemed genuinely concerned and protective of Gabi was Ej LOL. Who knew... |

I don't necessarily think their physical actions were off... taking Ari home was all they could do. Calling to inquire about when they can see Gabi again is all they could do. You're right. But their attitude just didn't fit for me today, that's all. Sometimes relief doesn't always mean smiling. Personally, I've been through some much less stressful situations than this that turned out okay in the end, and my reaction was to cry, not smile. For me personally, today was just no reason to smile, not even because Will is free. Will being free doesn't make the situation less terrible. It just makes it terrible for someone different. Someone Will and Sonny love, and someone their daughter needs, but will now have to live without. |

I am confused about the comments talking about WilSon celebrating. I didn't see any celebration. Sonny was relieved about not losing his husband. Do people want him to be sad about that? To me they didn't look like they were in a celebratory mood but they were taking comfort in their little family. Gabi is their family and they're concerned about her welbeing. Sonny called the station and enquired if it was possible to see her. What else were they supposed to do? |
