    I don’t care much for Gabby and thought she was totally out of line with Nicole today.  This is Ari’s fight, so just butt out.  I wanted to like her when she first came on, but the whole Hernandez family dynamic seems off.  How old is Rafe?  Early to mid-thirties?  Arianna- late twenties, maybe early thirties?  Then they are both 12-20 years older than Gabby and it is just too weird for her to be "checking up" on them.

    I think Philip needs to be with a woman, not a young girl.  His pairing with Melanie just seems strange.  I don’t see what the attraction is with Nathan to Melanie, either.

    Did they ever do a DNA test on Daniel, Carly, & Melanie?  It just seems like someone says "I’m your mommy/daddy" and the person involved says, "Oh, OK".

    I would like to see some storylines with some real substance to them, not just all of the juvenile bed hopping.

    I agree with Gabby standing up for Ari. I come from a HUGE (18 of us) family, and when you picked on one of us, you picked on ALL of us!!!!!

    She was in her workplace.  You can’t treat customers the way she did, especially when you are just an employee.  If she wanted to confront Nicole about Ari and Brady, she should have done so some other place.  Normally, she should have been fired, I think.

    not a Nicole fan, (although, she has provided some interesting – to say the least – story lines over the years) – and while Gabby shouldn’t have treated a customer in a place of business like she treated Nicole today, I am so glad that Gabby and Ari realize what a piece of work Nicole is and they call her out on it, (not that Nicole will ever get a clue).

     no way should she be working there much less all alone!  When she confronted Nicole, there weren’t any other customers in the place.  I guess they just didn’t want to have to have another ‘location’ so, "let’s us the pub for everything!"

    Gabby is just a youngster and her heart was ruling her head (as opposed to Philip who had something else ruling his!!!).  Yes, she definitely should not have treated Nicole that way, however, Nicole was really bating her so you can hardly blame her. 

    And the alcohol service is another no-no.  I think most states allow a minor to work where it is served but they may NOT serve it themselves (some places won’t even let a minor take an order for a drink), nor could she be the only employee there unless the bar is shut down.  But, again, this is DROOL…

    who or what in the hell does Nicole think she is…..still a DiMera?  Sure, tell that one to E.J. and Stefano.  She treats people like they are beneath her, from the way she orders a drink (just knew her alcoholism would return), to the demeaning way she looks someone up and down, to her snarly remarks to practically everyone she speaks to, including the law.  Gabbi knows full well what Nicole is "up to," and she just let loose with what she is sure Nicole is doing to her big sister, who anyone can see she truly loves Ari and Rafe.  She may not have been respectful, but at this point in the game, Nicole doesn’t deserve respect.  Now if only Brady will stick to his guns and not give in to her pseudo heroics of yesterday, all the better IMHO.

    Right on, my friend! I was cheering Gabby on all the way! I don’t like the Nicole character! I wish someone would put a muzzle over her mug or something!

    Once again, we all have our own perspective.  I really like Nicole and wish that she could find happiness and I wouldn’t mind if it was with Brady.  I really liked Arianna when she was Theresa on Passions, but I just don’t care much for her character on Days.  I thought Brady was boring as Ethan on Passions, but I think he is pretty sexy on Days.  (I’m sorry I don’t know their real names).

     she’s perfect as an annoying gossip reporter!    Too bad Gabbi didn’t get her that drink and then get her in trouble for forcing a minor to procure alcohol for her!

    I know she’s done some terrible things and isn’t the most moral person in Salem (is there such an animal?), but I’m always cheering for her.  I don’t know if it’s Ari’s acting or just the way Nicole is written (which I somehow doubt) but I can’t help wish happiness for her.  And although I really wanted to see her stay with EJ, I think she and Brady could make a good couple.  I love Brady (didn’t see him on Passions) but don’t care much one way or the other for Arianna.  I think she’s a perfectly good actor, I just can’t get seem to get invested in her.

    I almost wonder about the little teasers we’ve gotten with Arianna and EJ and if something might come of that.  If so, Brady would be perfectly free to be with Nicole.  We all know no couples can be happy for long and Brady and Arianna’s time should probably be up.

    I’m in the Nicole camp also.  Love the character, love the actress.  Always wanted her to find happiness.   She & Brady have always had that chemistry/tension between the characters.  I think she and the new Brady (i don’t know new names either) have a lot of chemistry.  He fights it – tries to be good – but can’t help his attraction.  Nicole knows this and she plays it to the hilt.  Like her or hate her at least her character has been CONSISTENT.   When she found out she was pregnant, she wanted Love so badly… and when she lost the baby we really felt her pain – and knew she was going over the deep end.

     

    Why people love Sami for all the crap she pulls and hate Nicole for doing the same (with better justification in my opinion) I’ll never understand.

    count me on the Nicole side also.  AZ always shines whether it is being good or being bad.  Battle on, Nicole.  I want you to be happy for a change.

    regarding Nicole and her "happiness" or lack thereof…Nicole has thrown away happiness time and time again. The predicaments that she finds herself in is Nicole’s own fault – she liked/loved Eric, Eric gave her a modeling contract, Nicole wanted Money – with a capital "M", so for five million dollars she married Lucas,  Victor was richer so she married him, she then met Brady and figured she could have the guy and the money after taking care of Chole (that Brady really wanted)!  On to EJ and the baby switch story!  And a jail sentence of 20 years, (even though it was "commuted"), didn’t deter Nicole in her one woman wrecking ball show…

    I love Arianne Zucker as an actress and love her high jinks as a character – but let’s face it "Nicole" doesn’t know what true happiness really is, not if it came up and bit her in the behind.   She can blame her sad childhood and tough times only for so long before the state of lacking happiness in her life that she is in is only her own fault.
