I saw the complaints about Gabi's dress and looked at it today and thought it was fine.  She looked cute.  I think Cherie is doing a good job as Gabi.  She channels CB a lot.  The one thing I notice she does is sometimes talk really slowly like she's carefully enunciating all her words.  Some of her dialogue sounds stilted at times because of it.

FakeAbby is not doing a good job at all with this act.  I assume this took years of planning so I don't know why she or Mark didn't do the most basic history check.  At least if she knew who was who she could know who to keep her guard up around and act more natural.  I have a feeling this story is doomed from the start.

Galen Gering seems like a really nice guy.  I am sure he's great to have on set and a team player.  Unfortunately, Rafe needs to go.  Even Jada just being acting Police Commish was better than any of Rafe's police work in years.  I'd let GG go and hire someone new for Jada.

So, I wonder if the Greene's grew up in Salem.  Because it always goes back to my main issue, which is aren't these people famous in their home town?  Jack and Jennifer owned the newspaper, his father was a serial killer, and their cousins saved the planet.  You would think anyone who was raised nearby would know their history.  For example, you're actually hanging out in the town square named for their grandparents.

I guess you might not know their family secrets, like who slept with whom.  But, certainly you'd know, Stephanie was a racecar driver who was almost kidnapped by an airlines company that was a front for human trafficking.

I was thinking perhaps FAbby was part of the accident that killed the Greene's parents.  Maybe she was presumed dead or in a coma or something for a long period of time and didn't grow up in Salem.  It seems like Aaron and Felicity did.  Mark should have at least a working knowledge of Abby's relative's if he's been in Salem that long and be able to give the basics.  Or, you know, just use google to figure it out.

I forgot Rafe was still on the canvas. 😂

To be fair he was gone for awhile in that coma.  GG must got a nice vacay or something lol

It is an interesting theory, because she was in that room for a while.  Initially, I thought Chad (or Jennifer) caused the accident, and the Greenes were out for vengeance.  But the only recent car accidents that I recall are Xander forcing Bonnie and Susan off the road, and Jennifer's accident that injured Gwen.  And we never heard of additional injuries in either case.

Ava drove Susan over a cliff with EJ in pursuit. Bonnie never left the shed. Xander had released Susan prior to that so forced nobody off the road. 

The only other accident in recent years was the Jude birth last year and Adrienne killed by Orpheus in 2019. Maybe the Greenes were on the road when Eric mowed down Daniel

That's a good one, given the recency

The Daniel accident also makes sense, given that it was just brought up again.  But, wouldn't the timing be off?  Because Aaron is the same age as Holly. I assume Felicity is older than Aaron.  But Mark couldn't have raised them both for the past 16 years.

Days is horrible with continuity and can change a story at any time, but I was going to assume any accident Fabby might have been in was a long time ago.   Just because it doesn't seem like Aaron or Felicity are currently grieving or have mentioned an accident besides their parents.

Honestly, for all we know Fabby is Mark's half sister and the non-Greene parent is the key to all this. 

I just hope they don't drop the thread of how Clyde got involved with the whole thing. 

Leo Howard (Tate) and Natasha Hall (temp Sloan) got married on Sept 9.

I am frankly okay with dropping the whole Clyde part.  Clyde is at Orpheus levels of being played out.

I don't like the character at all, but I still want to know how he knew where she was.  And if she's alive, doesn't that effect his conviction? (not in real life, but in the Salem legal universe).

Clyde's probably her dad or something.  

I don't know how that works in the Jordan and Ben timeline, but anything is possible in Salem.
