The first time I heard of W.Salem I seem to recall was Rafe saying he and Jordan would drive there so see her.I got the impression that she was only a short distance away so I wondered why we never saw her but I could be wrong. |

I was thinking the same thing today watching Will and Gabi. Chandler would have rocked those scenes with CM. I still don't feel it with nuWill and Ari either. Chandler had such a bond with that baby, GW looks like he's scared of her. |

Silly, I know, but my favorite scene was John leaving a message for Doc. I've been waiting months for something to happen between J&M. Could this be the beginning of them working their way back to one another? One can only hope..... |

Gabi's getting rid of Nick did not prove she was a loyal friend. It only proved that she had wised up to who he really was, and chose killing him as a solution to the problem he posed. In her own words, "He would not let me go.... He wanted to take me and Ari from the people who loved us". If you want to give her credit for being loyal she showed that by confessing so that Will would not go to jail for murder. Everyone benefits, but even she did not try to say everyone else was the reason. Her loyalty is also proved by the fact that she is keeping quiet about the incident at the river. To be sure Will's role in it would maybe get him probation, and the DA would have to be on the warpath for even that. Returning to my comment her actions prior have been selfish in my opinion. If you do not believe so then we will have to agree to disagree. As for her never carrying through with any of Nick's manipulations, to be accurate Nick's plans always fell through before they came to fruition prior to this last time. It can be argued that the fact that she killed him rather than allow him to win this time means she would have done the same before, but it can also be argued that had she not heard Nick and Sonny's conversation she would have continued to go along as she had planned to (see her talking to Ari after the scene with Nick and his calling the lawyer). My belief is that she may have been playing along out of fear in the beginning, but she definitely bought into it as evidenced by her actions, and she only found it unbearable after she overheard the conversation according to her own words. I personally believe she did not always act like a true friend in the past and she was often guided by self preservation as opposed to doing the right thing. Her actions now prove that she has changed. To be clear, the actions I am referring to is the fact that she decided to go against Nick rather than let him have his way to save herself. Since Hope said she had evidence pointing to Gabi and indicated she no longer felt Will was possibly guilty, if Gabi had decided to fight and tell whatever was needed to get off that would be no problem for me. Though I feel telling about the incident at the river would do her more harm than good in any case. |

I do vaguely recall that conversation between Rafe and Jordan. My recollection is that Jordan was surprised that Rafe grew up so close to Salem and that they would drive over there sometime to see where he used to live...not to see his mother there. I'm trying to recall now whether the mysterious car accident that involved Rafe's sister Ariannna and that killed his fiancée was supposed to have occurred in West Salem. If so, that could be the reason the family moved away. But again...I'm not totally sure. I know lots of other posters do say that Rafe's mother still lives in West Salem. I just have never thought so. |

Did he say it was pro bono? If not. it is pretty self-serving. Aren't lawyers always offering their service to new clients for big hefty retainer fee? It is just business. |

I'm trying to figure out what's Brady's problem. Why is he drinking and taking drugs because he gets mad about seeing John. |

I'm glad that Rafe feels some guilt about his sister. He knew something was going on but didn't do anything. Jordan was right about some of the things she said. But Rafe is usually quick to but in when told not to just left his sister alone. |

Can you explain your reasoning behind that? For whatever reason, I'm just not remembering how Gabi was indirectly responsible for the Daysaster. The show was kinda dreadful at that time, so I was only watching with one eye and one ear open :P I remember Gabi and Andrew kidnapping Melanie and locking her in the tunnels, but weren't the explosions just a random thing that happened down there? So Gabi doesn't have any blame when it comes to Jack and Madison's deaths, or does she? |

I don't think he said he'd do it pro bono, but the way Aiden was talking to Hope, it sounded like he wanted to offer his services to Gabi because she seemed like a good kid who'd ended up in a bad spot. And it's not like the custody stuff was 6 months ago. I believe the Salem day we're currently on is about 2 days after Nick's murder, which means that the custody stuff would've been discussed about a week or so ago. Is it really impossible to believe that a lawyer just wants to be nice and isn't looking for a new client because they want money? Everything we know about Aiden says he's not fixated on material things and an overflowing pot of cash. |

My understanding was that their mother went to live with a distant Aunt when her health began to fail. This was brought up when a young Gabi came to Salem to be in the care of her older brother and sister. Rafe traveled to see his mother for Arianna's funeral. That was held out of town so his mother can't still reside in West Salem. The person he spoke to on the phone after talking to his mom might have been the Aunt. I'm sure the reason Rafe called his mom instead of seeing her was because he wants to be right on hand with Gabi at this important time. Rafe talked about showing Jordan his old stomping ground in West Salem. He never said his family still lived there. The time he mentioned taking Jordan to meet his mom with Gabi and the baby sounded as if it would be a trip. |

I'm gonna get working on the full set after SYTYCD is done. It's not exactly a show that one can multitask during. lol. |

It's one of my favorite things ever. Every time they do something with product placement, I watch it again and think about our poor brave Cheerios. :) |

There was some funky dialogue on the show today. I was really surprised Carolyn wrote this one. It didn't feel like her caliber of work at all to me. Rafe searched out Marlena to help counsel Gabi and yet today he has a freak out that Gabi was speaking to Marlena because she's Sami's mom?! What? He also thinks Ej is going to be influenced by Sami in Gabi's case? Granted he knows Sami was somehow involved in some shenanigans that went down that no one will share with him and yes Sami does leave a trail of destruction in her wake, but this seemed odd and out of place for the scene. I also felt so sorry for Chrishell and the doozies they gave her to pull off. "Gabi has an awful time ahead of her but she's not going to die like her sister did..." Oh man! Way to lay it out there. :blink: and then she says to Rafe, "I don't think there is a gentle way to tell a mother that her only surviving daughter is going to prison." Ouch! Are the trying to make Jordan sound compassionate? Try again! I also have to laugh at Rafe mentioning, "I need to call my mother and my brother we never see" That came off sounding so weird. Did anyone look at these lines? CB held her own for another day. It was a bit perplexing to hear her tell Will that baby Ari likes to 'blow out the lights' and have her feet rubbed. They do live together and share parenting. I get they were trying to have her hit on the moments she'll be missing and yes it pulls the heartstrings, but can you write it in a way that doesn't pull viewers out of the scene to scratch our heads? The picture of Bo and Hope's despair were handled so well. Here comes Aiden and it was just done with the right touch of everything. They need to wrap up Bo's disappearance and take that out of the equation so fans can accept Hope moving on. This is a terrific match. The actors compliment each other perfectly. Midol! :P :blulaugh: It just seems so wrong to reduce the actors to be commercial spokespeople in the middle of their dramatic story. I get it brings in cash and I do want the soap to have longevity, just please keep this to a bear minimum. A crumb! Could they actually be moving the sibling mystery along? If hot head Ben doesn't want to be like HIM and Jordan has to reassure him he wouldn't ever I'm thinking bloodlines here. Miami and not the Ozarks.....I assume Ben has moved around a lot, but was his name Ben Rodgers in Miami? Brady mentions he used to be friends with Rafe! Shocker! I thought Days had discarded that history permanently. Glad to see it remembered here even if Brady could hardly make a coherent sentence. I feel for Rafe. He feels as though he's let yet another sister down. That's tough for a man of his nature. I think it will be interesting to see if this changes him at all moving forward. Another day of tears. This week was stellar!!! God I hope the writers have more of this in them. |

I don't even recognize Gabi in these past few episodes. She is actually being honest for once in her life and I've never seen her cry. I can actually relate to her now.

I posted that he basically talked her out of mentioning Rivergate.I could have been more precise and posted that he did not encourage her to provide mitigating information to the police.During the Monday episode EJ said they could fight the charge on the basis of Gabi being afraid of what Nick would do to her ,she pointed out if she did so,she would risking sending him,Will,Sonny,and Sami to jail.Once she said that EJ let it go.In fact when the DA asked Gabi how Nick would be able to send her to prison,EJ interupted saying he was advising his client to stop but once Gabi started talking about Andrew,he sat back and shut up.With Nick's past prison record and history with Melanie,any unbiased ethical attorney who knew of Rivergate would have told Gabi that revealing that Nick manipulation of the NY modeling contract,physical attack on her when she told him she was turning down that offer,and subsequent blackmail would make it less likely that she would be charged with first degree murder, could result in a manslaughter charge,and considerably lessen the time she would likely spend in prison away from her daughter.EJ did not of this.If Aiden had been her attorney,he would likely actively encouraged Gabi to present the best defense to the charge so that she would not be away from her daughter any longer than necessary. Supergirl while I was watching the 6-2-14 episode on the NBC website,Sami's shoes were clearly shown at the 8:19 mark.They are a wonder to behold,truly grotesque.If you have the time,can you please go to the site and screen cap Sami 's shoes.Its when she enters the room at the police station to talk to Will,Sonny,and Lucas. |

I agree that CM seemed to have more friend chemistry with CB than GW but he was okay to me.I still would rather have GW than CM smirking his way through the wedding,murder,and confession. |
