Thank You, Next: Should Gabi Move On From Jake On Days of our Lives?

When Gabi left Days of our Lives, she was obsessed with Jake – her late husband’s long-lost identical twin. When Gabi returned to Days of our Lives, she was obsessed with Jake. Although he’d hooked up with Kate, by then. Gabi responded by hooking up (well sort of) with Kate’s son, Philip. But it was obvious that Jake was still her true target.

Days of our Lives Polling

Yet, Jake seems truly happy with Kate (Lauren Koslow). And, Gabi, honestly, has a lot more options than a former grease-monkey who has made it clear he finds her repulsive. Should she give up and move on? What viewers think about that:

Tell Me Lies

Almost half of you, 49%, think that Jake (Brandon Barash) may be talking a good game about how he has no interest in Gabi (Camila Banus), but his actions suggest otherwise. He may not like her as a person, but, God, is he still attracted to her. If Gabi just keeps working that angle, she’ll have him in her bed and away from Kate in no time. Don’t give up yet!

Trading Up

A smaller 30% of the audience thinks that if Jake doesn’t give up on Kate and come to Gabi voluntarily, he’s not worth thinking about. Sure, he looks like Stefan, and maybe he even feels like Stefan. But he isn’t Stefan. That’s the man Gabi fell in love with, that’s the man she misses. Jake is only a temporary salve. She needs a guy who adores her as much as Stefan did, not a grudging, pale imitation.

For the Funsies

A last-place 21% urge Gabi to give it just one more shot. If this last play of hers doesn’t work out, then give up the ghost. He doesn’t want you, and that’s actually a good thing. Frees you up for the next big thing. Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
