No sooner had Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez, Days of our Lives) acclimated to life in Salem than The Powers That Be pulled the rug out from underneath her by ushering her leading man offscreen.
Cherie Jimenez Talks The End Of ‘Stabi’
“Obviously, there is some sadness on a personal level, because Brandon has just been so wonderful and I started this experience with him from the day of my screen test,” rued Jimenez to Soap Opera Digest. “But with every storyline I get, I trust that the writers know what’s best and are taking it in the direction that they’re taking it, because it’s going to turn into something that is going to lead somewhere else. So at the end of the day, that’s that.
“With that said, me personally, I feel like I only got so much time to really grow within [the Stefan-Gabi] relationship. As our chemistry started to flow really well, they kind of took it away. They ended it. So I was like, ‘No, no, no.’ ”
On their final filming day: “Our last scenes were where we had our first scene and our screen test, the DiMera mansion. So it was definitely a sad day. A lot of the emotion that came through was so beautiful. The scene broke my heart. And like I said, the chemistry and the relationship that we began to develop through our version of ‘Stabi’… It was just so beautiful towards the end there especially…We didn’t get a chance to really grow, you know?”
As for whether or not she suspects this is truly the last we’ll see of Barash and/or Stefan, Jimenez hedged: “You never know what’s going to happen within this soap world and they obviously left the door open.”
