Abe and Maxine

[soapkitty]

I think it would be nice, and I've said this for a long time,
if Abe & Maxine become a strong loving couple that is a pillar on DAYS.

Does anyone agree or disagree and why?

 

[the look of love]

Two reasons
1. They seem to be the only grownups with any common sense.
2. Someone needs to be a strong couple, that doesn't have a relationship that is based on Bedroom (or couch) attraction.

I loved Abe and Maxine during their very short time "dating". I think they would bring love and laughter to the show and boy do we need that.

 

[Daysdegrassi]

I voted yes as well. I agree that we need a stable couple. So far, Maggie & Victor are the only existing one, given these trials that they keep giving to Will & Sonny and even Hope & Aiden recently. But anyways. Maxine and Abe are friends, and I really think that in many cases, friends make the best lovers, whether on a soap or in real life. So I would like to see Abe and Maxine for that reason.

I'd also like to see them together because it would give both characters more airtime: Abe needs something to do, and Maxine needs to be on more and have a storyline other than propping the Love Doctor and Haggifer. Plus, we can see Theo's reaction and the like.

 

[Heather4CU]

I don't think putting Abe and Maxine together would give them more airtime. I think they would remain isolated.

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Now that I think about it, sadly, you're probably right. The writers would simply introduce more boring newbies instead of showing them more.

Maxine is on top of things, nothing gets past her and she has no problem letting anyone know they're full of it. She has no problem taking the bull by the horns and setting one straight. With her common sense, boldness, and tenacious ability to eliminate the bologna and Abe's connection to law enforcement and his ability to sniff out the truth, I think the pairing of Maxine and Abe would be our DOOL Castle and Beckett. What a refreshing love/law story line this could be
IF ONLY.....

 

[robinsnest]

I voted no, because I don't want either one of them to have a personality change or witness them go through what ever horrors get tossed their way. I have NO faith in these writers. If we could get new writers, I'd change my vote.

 

[katmouse]

I voted yes. I enjoyed them when they first started going out.
It would be nice to see two people fall in love, marry, instead
of what we are seeing now.

 

[Heroic Muse]

YES. I really enjoyed them, and the storyline of them both being widowed and feeling guilty about moving on after years alone had promise...and then they were suddenly dropped as a couple. Plus Abe does not get nearly enough screen time in my opinion.

 

[Poirot]

Maxine & Abe are good friends, and already are stable people who have backbones. Maxine tells it straight out, no holds barred, while Abe is more tactful, but honest, nevertheless. Why ruin a good thing, because if they are really paired as a couple, that is exactly what would happen.
Their "dating" before was very awkward, in my opinion, and they are fine just the way they are now.

 

[susala]

I'd like to see Abe and Maxine laughing together, having serious conversations, enjoying Theo and, yes, being sexy and intimate!! They aren't over the hill, and are as able as anyone to enjoy a satisfying physical relationship as well as everything mentioned above!

I guess they are just fine the way they are now..........but how would we know??? We never get to see them on screen. Just sayin

[Poirot]

Just my opinion, but the last we saw them on screen together, it seemed awkward, forced, uncomfortable. Maxine has stated since that she & Abe feel they make good friends period. And I agree.
We have seen both, yes, separately.
In my opinion, Days attempted a pairing some time ago, there was just NOTHING there, they disbanded the idea. I like both characters. a lot. I like their friendship.
And I just do not think every male and every female in Salem has to be paired up with someone. Heck, when these writers do so, usually it is a disaster. Or short lived, etc. etc.

 

[beckyeobrien]

I love them together. They share a similar experience with losing their love ones. Eventually they have to get back Abe but he's not around much. And I'm glad Theo is still so innocent but I'm waiting for Ciara to get her hands on him &change that. But my opinion is they would be great together!

I voted no, because I don't want either one of them to have a personality change or witness them go through what ever horrors get tossed their way. I have NO faith in these writers. If we could get new writers, I'd change my vote.

This is also why I voted no. Frankly I'd rather see Maxine's backstory fleshed out, maybe meet one of her kids (wouldn't it be a hoot if her son fell for Anne? Oh that would be good!) or a wayward sister or something. As for Abe, I'd rather see him develop a strong friendship with Kayla that could become more down the road (since the writers insist on erasing Steve from our collective memory).

Most importantly, if Abe and Maxine pair off, she'll have to give up her favourite hobbies: Promoting the eternal love of Dan/Jennifer and snarking about Anne.

 

[beckyeobrien]

I would vote for Kayla too...thanks for reminding me of that JasonDiSpeech.

 

[TamiBelle]

Yes, for the love of God and all that is holy, make them a stable couple in this God forsaken Sodom and Gomorrah we call Salem.

 

[TinaY]

Remember when they started down the path of Abe and Kayla? They hinted at it right when Kayla announced that she and Steve were getting divorced. Then the storyline just went nowhere. I don't think these writers know how to do adult relationships. I don't like Abe and Maxine together. It seemed a little forced almost like, "Well, here are two black people of the opposite sex so let's hook them up." Other than that, I don't see how they fit together. A few more black people might mix things up or just a few more real adults who aren't related.
