Xander saying "This won't take long" made me laugh.

[Trey]

Oh to be young and in love! Love that Xander said that to Sarah.

Justin and Abby... oh, this ought to be good. I can't wait for Ben to interrupt the connection and for Abigail to dump him. He's so ick in this story.

Also, I'm glad that Gabi made note of a missed opportunity. Again, her career is important to her, but she is genuinely trying to be there for JJ. I'm giving her props for making both work!

Adrienne was being a bit childish.

Ooh I'm loving Cander's attempt to ne romantic.

I hope Ben's jealousy doesn't turn to violence.

Chapter 445g

“Happy new year, Commissioner,” Aiden told Hope as the clock struck midnight.

“Deputy commiss—,” Hope started to correct him when his lips connected with hers. He surprised her by wrapping his arms around her and she surprised even herself when she melted into the kiss. He kissed her goodnight on their other date, but nothing like this.

When the kiss broke, she gazed into his eyes and whispered, “Happy new year, Jennings.”

***

In a quiet corner of the dining room, Gabi caressed JJ’s face and whispered, “Feliz año nuevo, mi amor.” JJ leaned closer and captured Gabi’s lips.

***

Upstairs in Nicole’s bedroom, she reached into Holly’s crib and caressed the fine hairs on her baby’s head while fireworks could be heard in the distance. Lifting her in her arms, she whispered, “Happy new year, baby girl.”

Rafe touched Nicole’s face and quietly said, “Happy new year, Nicole.” He leaned closer to kiss Nicole’s lips, but she gave him her cheek instead. She wrapped him a bear hug with the baby between them. “Happy new year, best friend.”

Ouch rafe, I think you just got your answer

[André DiMera]

The New Years celebrations were nice. Looks like Rafe has firmly been friendzoned.

[mae00]

Dang. What a way to be friendzoned! I get that Nicole may not bet quite ready to move on. Rafe may need to slow down a little more.

[Trey]

Aww...sweet New Years scenes, well, except for Rafe.

Totally friendzoned, but I'm not feeling sorry for him.

Hi readers. Thank you for staying engaged and commenting all week. We haven’t seen Philip and Parker in a while. Time to catch up with them and find out how they are spending New Year’s Eve.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead this week.

-Ben interrupts a moment between Abby and Justin and demands to know what’s going on.
-Maggie’s absence stirs concern.
-Philip lets Parker stay up to watch the ball drop.
-A surprise visitor joins the party at the mansion and manages to cause trouble without hardly trying. Who do you think it is?

[doolfan4life]

Thanks for the previews
I’m looking forward to the surprise visitor
I wonder if it is mr shin or li
Or someone entirely different like Theresa or Leo
Should be some good drama
I’m excited to check back in with Philip and Parker too

[André DiMera]

Excited for more New Years celebrations. Well, besides Ben and Abby, anyway.

Wonder who the surprise guest is. And where Maggie went to.

Thanks for the previews!

[heroicmuse]

Sweet New Years scenes, though I wish JJ's resolution for the New Year was to find someone more worthwhile.

Looking forward to Philip and Parker amd Ben's reaction to Abby and Justin.

Chapter 445h

Without thinking, Abby leaned closer and closer to Justin. He felt helpless to resist and began to move in for a kiss.

“Babe!” Ben’s voice interrupted the moment when he returned holding a bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager. He put his arm around Abby’s shoulder. “What’s going on?”

“Oh um, Ben Weston, this is Justin Kiriakis,” Abby answered.

Ben squinted at Justin but didn’t shake Justin’s extended hand. “Uh huh. I’m Abby’s boyfriend.”

Justin nodded. “Well, enjoy your night.” He looked at Abby. “I hope you have a wonderful new year, Abigail.”

As soon as Justin walked about, Ben blurted, “What the hell was that about?”

“What do you mean?” When Ben gave her a dirty look, she said, “Nothing’s going on, he’s my um my mother’s former brother in law.”

“It looked like he was gonna kiss you, and not in a … um … patriotic—”

“Platonic,” Abby corrected.

“Right, not in a platonic way. He seems like a creep.”

“He’s not!” Abby whined. “Take that back.”

“Hey, if anyone’s gonna kiss you at midnight, it’s gonna be me.” In a moment, his lips were on Abby’s, possessively kissing her as the clock struck midnight.

As Doug and Julie kissed, she held the back of his neck and he said, “Ah Fair Lady, I look forward to spending another year with the most beautiful girl in the world.” Julie kissed Doug again and hugged him tight. Over his shoulder, she muttered, “I haven’t seen Maggie since we got here. I wonder where she went.”

***

Maggie touched the lettering on Victor’s niche in the mausoleum on the Kiriakis grounds. “My first whole year without you is about to start.” A cry escaped her throat as she said, “I don’t know how I’ve gotten through the past six months and I don’t know how I’ll get through the next. I haven’t always been the gracious woman I like to think I am but I resolve to do better next year.” She placed a kiss on the memorial plaque. “Happy new year my love. I miss you every day.”

[André DiMera]

Makes sense that Maggie would go to see Victor.

Getting creepy vibes from Ben, though it makes sense he wouldn’t be thrilled by how close Justin and Abby were.

[heroicmuse]

I'm glad that Maggie is expressing herself to Victor's plaque. I hope she finds peace.

Loved Doug and Julie's New Years.

Ugh to the whole Ben/Abigail/Justin scenario.
