Now appearing in Wichita, Kansas
43 minutes of circle conversations and Fake Abigail, and Chad's blindness towards her, are on my last nerve.

EJ appears at Paulina’s house. He has a signed statement from his brother who will no longer be a problem.

Tan suit Stefan brings flowers to Gabi, replay from Friday, they're from her employees. Gabi wants to know why he is there? Stefan says I’ve spoken to my lawyer. He's is filing for divorce. Stefan is surprised Gabi's not pleased. Gabi asks why the rush?

In the town square, Julie, Thomas and Charlotte are walking, Thomas breaks away, he has to get home. He and his friend Gage have a battle at 4. Julie asks a battle? It’s a video game battle, you, know online. Julie lets him know he has to postpone today, because Daddy has a surprise for him at home. And a surprise for you too, Charotte.

Fake Abigail comes to the house. Chad tells her that today is the day they are telling their children that she is alive.

Ava comes into the pub. Roman has security cameras around the building, and he has changed the locks. This is all because of Connie. Ava apologizes for not being able to pay the rent as she is yet again unemployed.

Stefan talks to Gabi, he is miserable, she is miserable, he wants to cut his losses and he chose today because of a run-in with his brother. He can’t erase the image of Gabi and EJ, and Gabi can’t erase the image of Stefan and Ava. Since neither of them can get over their mistakes, cut their losses now.

Chad and Fake Abigail argue over who tells the kids that Mommy is alive.

Thomas wants to know what the surprise is? Leo appears, he talks about how proud of them their daddy is and how Chad has about 2 million pictures of them on his phone. Leo tells them he no longer works for their dad, he is now the head writer of Body and Soul and soon his picture will be all over the cover of Soap Opera Digest.

Julie insists they must leave, and Thomas wants to ask Leo one more question. He can ask just one more question. The question: is Leo still the tooth fairy? Seems he has this one loose tooth, so can he get an advance on the $50? (WHAT?? 50 dollars for a tooth?) Leo laughs, says no I’m not a fairy any longer, and well, ahh, great news about your mom, right? Julie gives Leo the stink eye. It’s really a sight to see as Thomas replies "Mom is dead, what’s so great about that?"

Fake Abigail continues to hem and haw over telling the kids, she wants more time. Chad wants to know just how long? That the kids are smart. Chad demands to know what Fake Abigail wants? Doesn’t she want her old life back? Fake Abigail replies more that you can imagine. They continue to discuss how weird her memory returns are.

Julie tells Leo that there is no news about Abigail. Leo tells of the news that Abigail received her angel wings and was promoted to chief guardian angel, it’s all the talk of fairyland, it’s a real title. And even though Leo had said he wasn’t a fairy, he is in fact a modest fairy and he has the advance on Thomas’ loose tooth, and he has an advance for Charlotte’s tooth because one of them is loose, but he doesn’t offer Mrs. Williams a loose tooth advance, because he’s run out of cash. Julie says she’s run out of patience. Leo wonders how was I supposed to know?

Paulina recounts the entire baby kidnapping story that gave her the idea to fire EJ. He gloats that now Paulina doesn’t have any reason to fire him. Paulina says she still has reason to fire him, but she doesn’t have anyone to replace him. She wants to know just how did he convince Stefan to write the statement?

Gabi and Stefan talk. Gabi wanted to forgive Stefan, and Stefan wanted to forgive Gabi. But then they each tried to sleep with others and I don’t really know where this conversation went but it ended with them agreeing they tried to hurt each other.

Paulina and EJ chat about blackmailing brothers.

Gabi tells of how when she thought Stefan was dead, her heart was ripped out of her body, then he came back, then eventually they got back together, then she went to prison, and the only thing that got her through was the thought of Stefan. Then this Ava thing, Stefan would erase the Ava boink if he could because he’s never loved anyone like he loves her.

Gabi is his everything. Stefan recites poetry. He admits to being a damn fool, Gabi agrees, she says then she messed up. But those mental images of each other with another person, the damages are done, they are finished. (WHAT?) Stefan says goodbye to Gabi. Gabi says goodbye to Stefan. He eaves and Gabi breaks down.

Ava is explaining her re-unemployed status with Roman. She quit before she started. Then Ava brings Roman up to date with the happenings with Stefan and Gabi, then she leaves. Leo comes in, he wants a drink. He brings Roman up to date that Chad’s kids don’t know that Abigail is alive.

Chad and Fake Abigail continue to argue. She doesn’t want to let down the kids. The kids walk in. Thomas asks Fake Abigail “Who are you?” which is rude, but on point.

Leo tells Roman that after he told the kids the good news about their mom and got dagger eyes from Julie, he made up a story about angel wings. Roman asks if the kids bought it? Leo wonders how long they can keep it a secret?

Thomas wants to know why Fake Abigail is staring at them? Fake Abigail is staring at them, then she makes up a story that she works with their daddy. Julie takes the kids and Thomas wants to know what the surprise is? Later, I’ll tell you later, says Julie. Chad and Fake Abigail talk, then Fake Abigail suggests (they then cut to Ava).

Ava confronts Stefan. She is interested if the job is still available, but more so if he and Gabi were back together.

EJ is in Gabi’s room; he lets he know that Rafe has let him know to stay away from his sister. EJ gloats over the grocery store flowers. Gabi tells EJ that Stefan has filed for divorce because of him (EJ). He blathers on about what he considers to be the truth.

Ava can’t believe that Stefan and Gabi are getting a divorce. She admits to being no fan of Gabi’s but she does care for Stefan and she thinks he might be jumping the gun.

Fake Abigail asks Chad what he thinks as Julie comes in wanting to know what’s going on? She thought this was the day? Julie says well this is now the time that I get to meet you. Julie tells Fake Abigail that if you remember me, you know I can be blunt. Julie wants to know just how long Fake Abigail thinks she can continue this charade? She then tells Chad of running into Leo Stark who almost blew up everything. Leo told the kids that he’s heard the good news about their mother. Fake Abigail wants to go to Paris with Chad.

EJ now tells Gabi when the two of them shared the night of passion, EJ thought that Stefan and Gabi were already over. Gabi admits this is all on her. She calls EJ a perfect gentleman. Gabi tells EJ that what she had with Stefan is truly dead.

Stefan blathers on with Ava. He offers her the job, Ava accepts. She tells Stefan she’d go back to the pub if it meant he and Gabi could get back together.

Leo is talking out loud while typing on a new page of his script on his phone when he realizes he is talking out loud. He apologizes to Roman, who tells him that most of the time Leo’s talking out loud is entertaining. (whatever, where is this going?)

Leo does a short version of what we will see tomorrow. He feels guilty because he’s friends with Hattie and he hated lying to her.

Julie can’t believe Paris. Chad says maybe it will bring back her memories? Fake Abigail says we won’t be taking the kids; we will drop the kids off with Jack and Jen, my parents in Boston. That way no one can tell them about me. Julie asks what happens if seeing the Eiffel tower doesn’t bring back the memories, then what? Fake Abigail says we will tell the truth. Julie agrees telling the truth is important, but she seems skeptical.
 
Re: Fake Abby. There are a lot of ways to check her out besides her face. Body type, hands, her voice. Don't writers ever think of these things? I bet the kids would figure her out sooner. Glad Leo recognized Julie's expression and covered. As for Gabi and Stefan, they deserve each other.
 
Nice job, Robin!

So the "Abby" we are seeing now should have the same body, voice, etc., as the "Abby" everyone remembers, vs the Abby we last saw portrayed by Marci Miller (and who is in the photos we have seen and "Abby" has seen). But I guess all anyone is paying attention to is her face. Whenever she and Chad kiss, which I guess they will in Paris, wouldn't that be a "tell" that she really isn't HIS Abby? I am far reaching here, I know. The show does not analyze like we do.

Great save by Leo, and those faces made by Julie, priceless.

Leo drinking beer just does not look right. His original order of some fancy cocktail made more sense, but not in a pub.

Many couples have survived infidelity, so Stefan and Gabi throwing in the towel is a bit surprising, even for this show. I think if he never said he filed for divorce, she would have suggested trying again. Sure, the images of others will be in their heads, but so are other images always in our heads, but we get through these remembrances. I just have a feeling it won't happen, or it will, and they will remarry down the line. Heck, maybe they are truly done. Who knows?

Like this image burned into the back of my brain? Gabi was able to move on from this, which she actually saw, but not something she was told. Okay, sure.

This is actually a reasonable response. I don't think they're over. If they don't divorce, they can't remarry.

If I were Gabi, Stefan with Abby-pretending-to-be-me would be more disturbing than nobody Ava.

They probably do, but choose to ignore them in deference to “da [sacred] plot.”

If Stephanie saw the infamous heart-shaped pillow photo it wouldn’t be burned in the her brain — it would blow her mind.

Question: Why is Gabba-Gabba stubbornly refusing to give Stefan Zero a second chance? After all, cheating is a way of life in Salem, and more importantly, is there really anyone better available?

So Roman is improving Pub security. Why hasn’t this obvious move ever occurred to anyone at the K-mansion and DiMansion?

Finally, Gabi thinks Zero is a poet? Robert Frost and Elizabeth Barrett-Browning must be spinning in their graves.
 
Thanks, robin.

Did Salem get a new barber or are the DiMera men seeing someone new? Chad, EJ and Stefan look like
they're wearing helmets or little hats.

Nice to see Stefan and Gabi not snipping at each other.

Poor Roman. He closed the pub and the soap isn't filming there after all. Will Roman get paid anyway?
Wait a minute. He's probably not getting paid anyway.

Since Chad and the woman are going to Paris, don't they need passports, even if flying on a private jet? Do
passports have fingerprints? Hers won't match if they do.

Fake Abby is enjoying the high life. She lives at the DiMera mansion and now she's going to Paris.

Psycho Connie was mentioned twice.

Line of the day: Paulina to EJ: "What happens when you and Stefan run out of things to blackmail each
other?" EJ: "Won't happen. There's an endless supply."
 
Amazing that ALL the salemites have passports and they always renew them when the time is up! Wonder why? They all are not real wealthy, or can spend weeks on the Riviera a few times a year, or spent a couple months in London or Paris, run down to Tiajuana, or Puerto Rico. Most are portrayed as homebodies, staying in town to stick their noses in the business of family/friends, heck, many do have kids....jobs....even tho we don't see them tending to either. LOL

Heck, I got a passport when we went to London, and of course, did not renew it. Why would I? And when I visited family in Houston, hubby wanted to visit the town right across the border, were told did not need passport. Lucky we had them, still good, as wanted to make sure we got back into U.S. and sure enough, when returning, a guard wanted to see our passports (making sure we were American citizens, lol) They had lapsed by the time we did another visit to Houston, and there was no way I was going to even try going over the border without one. LOL. Oh, kept being told you can go just for the day. Nope, not me.
 
Since EJ, Chad, Stefan, Gabi, Kristen, John, Steve, Brady, Xander all travel internationally for business, it would make sense if they have passports. I did not need to give my fingerprints to obtain a passport but in Salem who knows the rules. Xander and EJ could possibly hold dual passports. Chanel went to school overseas so she would have a passport. Johnny lived in Italy prior to moving home so he has a passport. Doug and Julie traveled the world via ship so they would need passports.

Real world passports have chips located within them. The chips contain data about you, I'm guessing. Salem, they most likely contain brain matter or DNA so they can recreate you if need be.
 
Well I enjoyed Leo.

I can't even waste time on the Gabi and Stefan stuff. I'm assuming they'll eventually get back together. Can't write for a happy couple though. We'll have to wait out her with EJ and Stefan with Ava. :sick:
 
kat, I've looked up applying for a passport and yes, you do need to be fingerprinted. I don't remember ever being fingerprinted for the passport. I've been fingerprinted when working at the San Juan Unified School District, the LAUSD school district, MAXIMUS, Paradise Valley School District and Wichita Public School district. Each time I had to pay for my fingers to be printed.

So I guess Abigail's fingerprints should be attached to her passport, but if DUH plot doesn't want to check this out, the real world won't matter.
