Old soap school.........drag it all out as long as you can. Doesn't work with life today. Most soaps are no longer mostly watched by stay at home moms. People have jobs, watch during lunch hours (or 1/2 hrs.), tape it, don't bother even watching if it all sounds repetitious, thus boring. Honestly, I do not know why the soaps do not realize that to keep viewers really interested they have to be "oh, my gosh, what is going to happen tomorrow?".
Already have put a thumbs down on Gabi & Chad still seeing other outside the employer/employee mode. Nope, they should be avoiding, but again, typical soap stuff. Yep, they want Chad to be "torn" when and if he finally knows Abby is alive.
