    Thought I saw this one coming after a scene a couple days back that showed Chad and Mel goofing around.
    Now today it does seem like Abby is in for some competitioin. As an early take, I might just prefer this newest couple. How does everyone else feel?

    Doesn’t matter to me either way.  I’m not too fond of Abby anyway but I’ve always liked Melanie.

    this opportunity to interfere and help break up Chad and Abby. Didn’t she tell Stef that Abby wouldn’t be a good match because shey would encourage Chad to distance himself from his family?

    other than it must be one of Soap Opera’s Ten Commandments:  Thou shalt not let any couple be happy together longer than six months. 

    I guess they just need a purpose for Melanie.  But then, what happens to Abby?  I’m like DeeLan, I really don’t care either way.

    and they are ruining Abbey already with her awkward position she’s taking with Jack.  I know she’s an adult now, but Abbey has taken on a whole new personality with the father she has adored all her life.  I just cannot deal with her attitude some days.  I know what Jack did, and I’m not taking up for it, but Abbey won’t even open the door to communicate.  I’m sure she’s going to at some point, because I thing Jack has PTSD, and I can believe the writers will soon have his disorder come into play, but in the meantime she’s also having to deal with Melanie falling all over her boyfriend, flirting with him, touching him, agreeing with all things he likes/dislikes to the point where I want Abbey to just explode on her.  Melanie did the same thing to Stephanie, so it’s probably a given that she’ll do the same thing to Abbey until she breaks them up like she did Stephanie and Philip and Stephanie and Nathan.  I like Abbey and Chad together, always felt they had a wonderful relationship.  Lately I wish she would just light into Mel and maybe Chad as well.  Mel is blatantly flirting with Chad every opportunity she gets, and with all of the problems Abbey’s encountering with her feelings over her parents right now, she doesn’t need this little man-eater trying to steal her boyfriend.  Nope, her character doesn’t do it for me.  She needs to back off and go find her own boyfriend.

     I agree about Melanie, she has a history of going after other people’s boyfrieneds.  She doesn’t seem like she even realizes what she is doing. ironically, she would be the first to cry foul if it was done to her. Mainly, she hates to be on her own and doesn’t care who gets hurt. She is quite a flirt and not a very good friend.

    I disagree withyou concenring Abby’;s reaction to her father. Probably because she adore him so much, it is hard for her to accept that he is not who she thought he was. I really cannot blame her especially since he immedaitely attacked Chad without even getting to know him. I am sur4e that Abby feels that jack lost the right to run her life when he left his family. Yes he was help captive, but NO one made him take the assignment in the first place. He has a family and had to choolse what wasmost important to him. As usual, he chose the story over his family. This is not the first time Jack has done this, maybe Abby just got tired of being second to his job.

    Melanie is being a terrible friend to Abby with all of the flirting going on. What kind of friend goes after her friend’s boyfriend in such an obvious way? I’m usually a Melanie fan, but she is playing dirty right now.

    some leftover old Melanie. Remember that wild, self-serving girl of not that long ago?

    I LOVE the PTSD idea.  Never been done before and so many possibilities.  It would even give Marlena something to do.  Have you read this might be?  I hope so.

    He evidently is holding in a great deal of mental anguish inside his self from what he endured in Afghanistan.  The way he spoke to Jen the other day about the children he spent time with in the hospital, that he read to them on a regular basis, and especially the death of the little boy, Amir, and the fact that he feels he can’t write it down (Jack’s a journalist, for goodnes sake, and he can’t write anything down now), because the pain of remembering is too great right now.  All of this and probably more than I can remember lead me to believe that this is where the writers will be taking Jack.  We saw him chained to a wall in one of the mini-plots prior to September 26th, which would indicate he also went through a great deal of physical torture as well, so yes, I believe we will soon see, maybe through flashbacks, exactly what Jack endured and why he is suffering such ill effects from it now.  It would explain a great deal about Jack’s behavior …. the sudden burst of anger over Chad, to the point of actually getting physical with him; his undying love for Jen and having to realize she may be moving on without him; the loss of his Abigail, and blaming himself for her getting sick, his sudden mood swings, all would indicate the perfect PTSD storyline, and this is where I think they will be taking Jack’s story.  At least I hope that’s what we’ll be seeing.

    months of "happy couple time" in Salem, how long has Carrie and Austin been back when they are already indicating a Sami thingy…come on people of Salem be with the one you love, NOT the one you are with!   But that being said, I do like Mel and Chad together as I mentioned in another post, they have more chemistry (maybe because they are together in real life???) together than Chad and Abby.  More sparks and their eyes light up when they look at each other…so I’m a CM fan.
