I loved How protective Kate was of GabiI know

[Troy44]

I realize that Kate can be more then a bit, shall we say... fickle when it comes to her loyalties. Her involvement in the "Stevano"/Princess Gina mess provides more then amble evidence of that. But still I loved that the subtext of her conversation with Jake was "mess with Gabi, and you'll be dealing with me. Sure, Kate finds Gabi's tendency to blow her own life up in the most spectacular of ways to be more then exasperating. Sure, if Gabi and Kate were on opposite sides in a business deal they both would be wise to watch their backs. But despite all that, I think it's clear that Kate loves Gabi. I don't think she would bnecessarily admit that to Gabi's face, but she does nonetheless.

I find it interesting and telling that no matter what craziness my Gabi seems find herself in, that three of the people who never turn their backs on her; Will, Sonny and Kate, were also there during the Nick Fallon era. Somehow I don't think that's a coincidence.

I also like, this relationship is really beautiful, like friends, but also mother / daughter.

It is said that the real people who love us are few but important, long live quality, not quantity.

Gabi's ties to Will, Sony, Kate are sincere, magnificent

I loved this as well! I loved how protective she was of Gabi and stood up for her.

Kate : "He was her world, so when she lost him, her world was shattered."

I so wanted Kate to add: "Fortunately, a few days after Stefan died, Gabi was able to break up Lani and Eli and start sleeping with him."

[knotsfan]

Of course Gabi isn't the only one who's moved on a day after their spouse died- if Kate says the same thing to Adrienne when she inevitably returns, I'll laugh at that, too. In this case, it's also funny.

Would be great if Gabi says, "Lani slept with all of my men! Stefan included if I am not around!". Let's be honest, Lani isn't that sunflower looking lovely, but more like she wanted Rafe, kissed him later as well. Took away JJ from Gabi. Lied to Eli of what she saw too, with Gabi and JJ. Oh yeah, cornered Shawn for sex too. I wouldn't trust Lani if my life depended on her! She shot Stefan without thinking!

[knotsfan]

Can't argue with the fact that Lani shot Stefan without thinking- police officers are trained to react immediately when someone pulls a gun and points it at them! Seems to me Stefan also wasn't thinking, jumping in the path of a bullet. Yes, Lani did kiss Rafe- he turned her down and that was that. She didn't try to trick him, she didn't make a bet with anyone that she could seduce him, and she didn't pursue it. Lani didn't lie to Eli about Gabi and JJ- she misinterpreted what she saw, but she didn't lie. They DID get in bed together.

ICAM! Although, she's not in Salem and pops in once in awhile, I'd add Samantha Gene!

I won't watch, until later, I'm happy knowing Kate warned State that if he

"mess with Gabi, and you'll be dealing with me.

[Fancy863]

Kate cares about Gabi as long as Gabi doesn’t have a man or job that she wants then the real Kate shows her true colors.

[Liz188]

It was very nice to finally see someone have “Jake” see Gabi in a different light. If Jake is Stefan, then I hope this makes him understand why Gabi cares for Kate so much.

so exactly like Gabi then?

[Fancy863]

Yeah exactly like her unfortunately.

[Mewt]

Yes. Two peas in a pod.

Yes Loyal, Kate is still protective of our Gabriella especially when Gabi needs it the most! Won’t try to spoil it much till you watch! All the other times, Kate has been on and off with Gabi over DE business or insufferable Chabby, etc. But this is the one time Kate stepped up to help because Gabriella when she needs to know about her husband, with Jake looking like the love of Gabriella’s life! I’m enjoying Kate lately with Abe scenes and now with Stake!

ckg1 I just watched! ICAM! Kate was in full Mama Bear protective mode! Stake has been put on notice! Too bad, Nick isn't around to tell him how protective and supportive Kate (and Samantha Gene) are of Gabriella! I'd love to see/hear Kate apologizing to Gabriella for believing she was hallucinating bc she, too, saw Stefan, I mean, Jake, I mean some man with Stefan's face!

I’m enjoying Kate lately with Abe scenes and now with Stake!

TBH, I've always enjoyed Kate, when she's not in the unspeakable orbits!

[ckg1]

LOL! Watch out Stake, his world is about to be rocked!!?? Those two make the most gorgeous pairing and irresistible to each other and Kate knows it! Jake better accept it! Everyone knows it and Jake is shook! I remember when Kate was in that obnoxious pairing’s orbit for annoying plot purposes as you reminded us Loyal, but today Kate seemed to be in a better place and supporting Gabriella. I want more Kate and Gabriella again! Add Samantha Gene and that’s all we need!!

[kahinamah]

You said it all. I like this protective side of Kate, the relationship that Gabi has with Kate, Sonny, will, and Samantha.

[ALoyalSoapFan]

Ditto ckg1 & kahinamah I love/adore/admire Gabriella true, supportive, loving and protective friendship/bond she has with Kate, Samantha Gene and Wilson! They will always give her tough love and will never coddle her and tell her it's not your fault, it's someone else's fault! Yesterday proved how protective Kate is of Gabriella, when she put Stake on notice!
