Key Takeaways

- The fact that Abe didn’t run back to Lexie shocked EJ.
- It’s not black and white.
One Love Doesn’t Cancel Out Another Love for Abe
Fans who watched the love story of Abe (James Reynolds) and Lexie (then-Renée Jones) know they had a love story for the ages. However, that was over a decade ago, and Abe’s love story with Paulina (Jackée Harry) may be newer but has been pretty epic in its own right.
On the Tuesday, May 19 episode, EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) was shocked to learn Abe wasn’t running back to Lexie (Nikki Crawford) and kicking Paulina to the curb. Abe explained it wasn’t that simple. His feelings for both women are real, and just because Lexie is back doesn’t mean his love for Paulina goes away.
The life he has built with Paulina means just as much to him as his life with Lexie did. Just because those lives look different doesn’t mean both don’t matter or don’t have the same value because they do.
DAYS spoilers reveal that Abe feels pressure from Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) to decide, as everyone’s life is in flux right now. Adding more fuel to the fire is Lexie demanding to meet Paulina so they can discuss their situation.
While everyone remains focused on Abe making a choice, the simple fact is that he needs some time, and that should not surprise anyone. It’s not like he can flip a coin because these women have his heart in very different ways, but they have it.
The more Abe feels pushed to choose, the harder and longer it will be for him to decide, and honestly, people should be more understanding. Abe’s life was also just turned upside down, and the fact that people assumed he would run back to Lexie was presumptuous. It’s been over a decade since she died, and Abe moved on.
However, Lexie and Paulina both want an answer ASAP, which will lead to impulsive decisions. DAYS preview video showed Paulina declaring she was moving out like she had already given up on her marriage to Abe, instead of fighting for it.
Fans have been outspoken about who they want Abe with based on recent events, but will they be right? Make sure to keep watching to see when and who Abe chooses.
