On the August 24 episode of Days of our Lives, Abe mourned Lexie’s death, as Chanel and Johnny named their newborn daughter, Olivia Alexandra, in her honor. There was some question about how Paulina would feel to have her newest grandbaby named after the woman who broke up her marriage, but the implication was that Paulina wouldn’t mind. After all, Abe is available again! But, after everything he put her through, would Paulina ever want Abe again?
Key Takeaways
- Paulina sacrificed her marriage so Abe could reunite with Lexie.
- Lexie’s death seemingly opens the door for Abe and Paulina to reunite.
- Paulina may not be willing to risk having Abe break her heart again.
Paulina’s Original Sacrifice for Abe
Abe (James Reynolds) and Paulina (Jackée Harry) were deliriously happy together with their blended family of Lani (Sal Stowers), Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), and Chanel (Raven Bowens). But then Abe’s first wife, Lexie (Nikki Crawford), returned from the dead. (Which sure was a surprise to both of them, considering that the last time they saw her, Lexie was an angel who popped down from Heaven to save a dying Paulina’s life.)
Abe was torn. But then Paulina took the bull by the horns and told Abe he should go back to Lexie. Then, when he did so, Paulina pretended not to be upset.
What Happens Between Abe and Paulina Now?
Though Lexie has only been gone for a few minutes, you can practically see everybody thinking, “Oh, cool, now Abe can go back to Paulina.” Sure, sure, he’ll need to mourn for a bit. There’s the Celebration of Life Lexie asked for. But, after that, it’s smooth sailing to Reunionville. Not so fast…
Don’t Count on a Paulina/Abe Reunion Just Yet
Paulina is a woman of immense pride. And very strong emotions. She doesn’t forgive — or forget — easily. Abe broke her heart. Even though she told him to. He didn’t have to do it! And Paulina might never want to risk that again. If Abe — or anyone — thinks this is going to be easy, they likely have another think coming!
