Gabi has always lusted after Chad...She pretended to be stalked by someone, so Chad would have her stay in his place with him & Melanie, paid the guy to stalk her, knew he kidnapped Melanie, told no one, and it all led eventually to the tunnel explosion. And when Abby ran away from the hospital, Gabi was there with Chad all the time......and then her best friend is said to be dead in a plane crash, Chad is devastated, and Gabi is there ALL THE TIME.
Yep, When Chad decided finally he could not stay home and grieve forever, Gabi was right there in front of him. Yep, he felt something, & just remember HE was the one who stopped them from having sex...a couple of times. ...and then Abby returned, and of course she was as stupid as he had been, and Gabi still would not stay away. She could have seen her friend away from the mansion.....Nope. And thus, 3 characters have been unjustly treated by the writers, as along came Dario, with his crush on Abby and a scam to boot.
Gabi went to Greece...why? She was of no use, could be no help, really had nothing to do with Nicole & Brady, but she was there. Why? To be in Chad's vicinity, of course.
I think Chad is being a total jerk, Gabi a total Jezebel, Abby a definite fool, and Dario a nasty Michael Corleon.
Again, all this junk is laid squarely on the head of Ken Corday, who obviously pays no attention to the show, until he is forced to do so. Otherwise he would have taken measure with Higley at the end of two months of READING scripts, and WATCHING the filmed episodes (which he should be doing of course, right after they are filmed.
