Yep, WG, this backstage crew does NO research whatsoever, thus lots of eyerolling. However, one never knows about matches, which is why there is a nationwide database. Someone in Wyoming is a match for a person in Vermont. Someone in Alabama is a match for a person in North Dakota. Different ethnic backgrounds have been successful in matching up. No different than the person buying the lottery ticket, with a 1 in a million chance of winning......and does!
In this case, in Salem, just a lazy writer way of getting Gabi out of a situation they wrote her into.
P.S. I LOVE your location!!!!
