Nothing is logical in Salem. Remember, Lani was able to be blackmailed by Gabi. You can’t tell me that Lani wasn’t alone with Eli ever! She could have easily told him in private what Gabi was up to. Same with this situation.
wouldn’t it have been a lot more satisfactory for all if he just told Eli, in front of Gabi, that he should take her phone because if he doesn’t, she can easily execute his dear ole’ grandmama right in front of his eyes, and explain afterward everything Loni told him about how Gabi is blackmailing her and holding Julie hostage. I swear, I could have bashed J.J. in the back of the head with a 2 x 4 throughout that entire scene. Such stupid writing. You have to be an idiot not to care what Carlivati is doing to this show!
So many opportunities and no one takes them. It’s like the writers really do want to draw everything out. I’m just hoping that since I’ve had to suffer through the insanity of this storyline, I get the Payo of of Gabi being dumped at the altar by Eli.
