this storyline w/ JJ was actually super touching. I found myself far more moved by the stand-alone JJ episode where he was writing his suicide letters & Gabi confronting him than I would have expected. I was really impressed.

Oh Dear: does this mean Theo has to talk?  Love JJ and Abe hugging. Abe is awesome.  I know some found his reaction to the shooting overly pompous but i liked how his veneer cracked, first when he broke down over Theo's body and admitted that he didn't believe Theo would recover, then after Jen gave him the what for about the past with Brady shooting.  Also love when the producers put bad performers in long comas.  Guiding Light did it with one of the gay Shanes, I think the one Conboy hired (one of his Palm Springs pool boys). LOL
