Evil Gabi is back on Days of our Lives, and that means some great material for Camila Banus (Gabi) to sink her teeth into. After all, who doesn’t love a Gabi scorned?! This week, viewers already learned that Gabi has already switched the paternity results to make it look as if Stefan (Tyler Christopher) is the father of Abigail’s (Marci Miller) unborn child, when it is really Chad’s (Billy Flynn). To top it off, she is manipulating and “advising” Gabi on what to do about her paternity secret
On Tuesday’s episode while in the park, Gabi reflects on changing the paternity results and says out loud to herself: “Karma is a bitch. Since you and Stefan ruined my life …” but she stops talking when all of a sudden Stefan appears. He wants to talk about “Gabi Chic”, and their mutual business interests, but she’s not having it one bit!
She blasts him and his fictitious girlfriend “Gabby” for framing her for murder, and all that has transpired in her life since then including: being beaten up in prison, which has left her unable to have any more children, due to a surgery and an infection she developed while in the slammer for a crime she did not commit.
Gabi says she is not like her ‘Madre.” She believes in revenge and that people like him deserve to be punished, and that she wants to see him suffer like she has. Stefan is hoping that Gabi will eventually trust him, put the past behind them, and work together. Stefan exits and once alone, a vengeful Gabi says: “You and your little whore, Gabby, took something from me that’s precious. Now it’s my turn to take something from you.”
Then to put an exclamation point on her revenge plot, Gabi grins that “all hell will break loose.”
Are you glad to see Gabi back with an edge as she plans to make Abigail and Stefan’s life a living hell? What do you think will be the next move in her master plot? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
The ignorance is beginning to infiltrate Salem.
Drugs were planted in JJ’s apartment. Who ‘done’ it? Duh!?!? If Everyone is soooo adamant in believing neither JJ nor Theresa did it….if Brady doing such an act of cowardice ( Ha!) is out of character…..who’s left? Victor wants Brady and Theresa together….process of elimination. No one thought of Eve? She and Miss Jenny were arch enemies. Will it take Jennifer to ‘snake’ her out? Think, Jenny, think!!
Everyone in Salem seems to have a short memory. Hello? Eve was and still is EVIL.
Who stabs her own sister in the back? Fighting for her man? Well, if I were a man, I would not want a woman with such a dirty heart and tactics.
Then, there’s Gabi. Really? I want to be hopeful….cheery….but, please, please—-no torturous Chad/Abigail/Stefan plotline……I just noticed that Tyler looks old enough to be Marci’s father. Ugh!! Gross!!

Call me crazy but I just don’t see Gabi as evil. Getting her edge back? Absolutely. But evil? No That said although I love her I don’t like what she’s doing right now. I get it. She’s angry, she’s damaged and totally fed up. I don’t blame her one bit for wanting some payback I just wish she wasn’t doing it this way. One thing her monologue yesterday showed me that she lost her bearings and isn’t thinking clearly. I do think she needs some help and hope she realizes it soon rather than later.
As for Camila I think she’s rocking it. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed that come Daytime Emmy time next year she gets some attention.
Hi, Troy,
Unlike yourself, I never really liked Gabi.
She has always had an evil streak—-especially toward Abbi. She had set her cap for Chad as soon as she came to town, as it were.
The PTB chose to ‘fluctuate’ this girl hither and yon….not exactly making up their minds as to where her place was.
The end result was one ridiculous incident/situation after another.
What you see is the true Gabi. She did not lose her bearings. She just needed a push. Gabi was, more or less, ‘purified’ for a bit—-but, those tiny little mean imps in her head are baa-aack!!
Those pure of heart, never sway….sure, they balk and wail, but remain basically good…..with no intention of causing anyone else harm.
The writers play with these characters’ psyche and personae waaay too much—-to the point where the plots are not taken seriously any longer.
Great answer, Troy, LOL. Very respectful!! Appreciate the humor.
Pasquale. A very noble and sainted name. Did you know the name is derivative of Pasqua? …..translates to Easter.. I bet you already knew that. LOL.
Ciao.
Well said..let’s not forget what she did to Melanie..hmm that was over Chad..I don’t like this story line however..it’s too much like old baby drama story..the baby switch has been played too many times..
Right, PAMD….and the baby swtch will be a usable convenience over and over…..never-ending-story. LOL.

I loves me some evil Gabi! Of course her next move will be to learn when and where Abby is planning to terminate her pregnancy and then “accidentally” tell Stefan that Abby is about to abort his child so he can stop the procedure.
Of course she will do exactly that, Alan! Gabi will bide her time….skulk and wait…then pounce like the tigress.
Camila is killing it, albeit I am not into Gabi’s machinations.

Why cant Gabi just seem to understand that it was not Abby’s fault she had another personality ?.I am shocked to hear it is Chads baby.Makes no sense to me at all,or did I read it wrong? I mean it would have made more sense for it to be Stefan’s baby because there would be more of a story there. I dont know what to think but if looks could kill ouch,

Gotta say, I really appreciated Guy Wilson’s portrayal of Will where he frequently sneered at and talked down to Gabi.
It’s interesting how the exact same sequence of words could sound nice coming from one actor, but were delivered like a (delightful) backhanded slap from another.

Greetings Days of Our Lives fans! I want to preface this by saying I have been watching Days of Our Lives for 45 years I started out at 6 years old I was home ill and my grandmother was an avid Days of Our Lives fan. I am also a psychiatrist, and I really feel that they are doing the Mental Health Community, people with multiple personality disorders, people with mental disability with the storyline of Abigail. Now you have changed the character of Gabby into and what was amazing actress sweet and kind and that is abundantly clear in her performance, her ability to understand and forgive Abigail’s mental health issues was wonderful until you threw in now, evil Gabby full of vengeance and actually using Abigail’s mental health issues to play into her plan. Again as a psychiatrist this does such a disservice to people with MPD and or bipolar disorder and or schizophrenia.
And then well adding insult to injury Abigail of course is pregnant and again you’re portraying a woman who is mentally ill and what was a kind woman and friend not only taking advantage of her mental health issues but by doing a complete 180 with the character. I mustad for the first time in 45 years I have stopped watching the show my reasons for not watching it is specifically because of this storyline with Abigail and Gabby I really believe that the mental health community doesn’t need this out there many years ago Kimberly Donovan Shane’s wife had mental illness and they portrayed it accurately and beautifully I’m just, horribly saddened by the path that two producers have chosen to go with this and until something changes I know I speak for myself but I can also speak for my office staff who basically I have now gotten them all watching Days of Our Lives, we effectively are tuned out. Thank you for 45 wonderful years, but I cannot sit back and watch the character of Abigail who is accurately portraying somebody with multiple personality disorders be forced into a psychotic break, because in real life that would have happened. I would like to add that the character Gabby, Abigail, Stefan and Chad are all wonderful young actors and have done a very good job of portraying the spouse of somebody with mental illness, the friend of somebody with mental illness, and the portrayal of a woman tormented with it. I would ask that the storyline be changed because simply the stress of a pregnancy with multiple personality disorder patients, but then adding in triggers such as the issue of paternity can actually lead too a patient committing suicide. And I don’t believe that Days of Our Lives would want to be tackling that issue. With respect, from North Florida, dr. Lynn Vitale
Hi, Lynn,
Our stories sound sort of similar…..I’ve watched Days and many other soaps since I was in diapers with my grandmother. That would be in the late 80’s.
I certainly appreciate your informative precis on mental health…..Abigail has not been given a fair shake on all counts by the writers. It seems to me TPTB have used Abby’s mental health issues to prop Stefan and Gabi.
However, Gabi’s ‘sweetness’ was never real, per se…..under the surface….under all that sugar, Gabi was always duplicitous.
As PAMD mentioned, Melanie and Chad ( not Flynn at the time) were an item. Gabi did her best to break them up.
Then Chad and Abby became involved and Gabi repeated the scheming and has not stopped, as we can see.
So, Gabi, as far as I am concerned, has mental issues of a different kind. Never liked her!!

I think Days writers think us fans are gullible st best! Everyone knows test results we get are NOT it!!! We get copies and for this to be going on this long makes me as a fan feel frustrated and cheated! Why has not someone maybe Kayla discovered this and also evil Gabi stinks! I am talking about Abby and Chad and their baby!
Just saying!

“Daytime television invites viewers into the private lives of characters, often bringing important issues like cancer screenings into living rooms and around water coolers. Soaps debuted the first cancer storyline in 1962 – years before the topic was discussed in the mainstream, and it left an indelible impact: a whole generation of women who scheduled a potentially life-saving Pap smear for the first time,” said Daytime Stands Up host Alan Locher. “For so many viewers, this brought the issue front and center,” added co-host Michael Fairman. “Today, it’s become almost impossible to avoid; but there is hope with cancer research, thanks to organizations like Stand Up To Cancer.”
SU2C Co-Founder Sue Schwartz, SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, Ph.D., and SU2C Health Equity Committee Member Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., will also participate to speak to the importance of early detection, exciting scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing work yet to be done to make screenings and treatment equitable for all.
“This year, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer, presenting an opportunity for the public to stand with us and rise to the occasion,” said Adams. “We’re thankful to Alan Locher, Michael Fairman and our friends from the daytime television community, who will raise critical funding to honor those we’ve lost – and to propel new scientific breakthroughs for current and future patients. Everyone has a story, and we’re grateful to all of you for sharing yours.”
For over 15 years, SU2C has leveraged its relationship with the entertainment community – which includes more than 1,100 celebrity ambassadors – to generate public donations, increase awareness and fund cutting-edge cancer research. SU2C research has contributed to the development of more than 10 scientific breakthroughs that have significantly impacted the field and provided new treatment options for breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, pancreatic, pediatric and prostate cancers.

Days of our Lives star Deidre Hall (Marlena) is set to play a version of herself on third season of Hacks. Look for Hall this month in an episode titled “The Deborah Vance Christmas Spectacular,” to air on May 23 on Max.
Not only will Hall appear in the episode, but so too, will Back to the Future and Taxi star, Christopher Lloyd.
According to EW.com, Deidre will play “a fictional version of herself, who just so happens to be the mom of Paul W. Downs’ Jimmy.”

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

“We had written some things that were flirty, but the chemistry was palpable,” says co-creator and series star, Downs shared. Hacks stars Jean Smart as comedy legend Deborah Vance.
