yeah me too! gabrielle was my "pretend" name when i was a kid and i was from argentina and had a son (well a My Child doll) named alberto...lol...i was a kid addicted to ABC soaps incorporating them into my doll games!!! wow, i miss those days
Max and Gabrielle...my alltime favorite soap couple. But unfortunately, they never got a wedding where James DePaiva was the one playing Max. I still hope that, someday, Gabrielle will turn up alive, Max will come back, and that will finally happen. What a dream lol
I've never seen a couple with this much sexual chemistry. I have loved a few couples on day time or night time soaps I'm telling you these two were unreal. Like get the fire extinguisher. The first scene that got me hooked on soaps forever was the " seduction at Max's place " I was 8 , I kinda knew the main long term characters bc mom always had oltl on since b4 I was born. One afternoon I was just kinda in the living room doing whatever & I saw that episode. I hazily knew what the baby switch story was bc it was summer & I'd be sitting with my mom bc she taped it bc she worked but she left abc on to tape so we knew not to change the channel between 1 & 4 for the 3 abc soaps. I knew austin a bit bc he was like the todd manning that was dipped into all stories that summer & I knew brenda went to max to get him to help get her baby back. So it was on as usual but I started really paying full attention. Esp when max started kissing her. I was at the edge of my seat & she kept mentioning Michael & marrying him so I'm 8 & totally engulfed as max & gabby had that great sexy theme of theirs playing with the Spanish flair & then he was throwing chairs & I was like damn this is something else ! Then michael walked in. That was the cliffhanger. I was hooked ! School was starting bc this was labor day weekend I believe so I was now getting home before mom & watching the show & reporting back to her on the phone little spoilers lol. They were just hot hot hot. Now that I'm older & I saved this episode on vhs for years popping it in here & there but I realized max & gabby were like scarlett & rhett from gwtw. Not only were their love scenes just fire but they had a really rich back story & it took them 3 years to become a couple. Before that it was gabby chasing max. Then after she turned herself in u could see max for the first time was falling in love with her. Plus they had this torrid history of meeting in Argentina this exotic beautiful place . Gabby was a virgin & sweet & innocent & met max Holden & she flipped for him. She got pregnant on their one night stand ! Gabby was sweet & max really just liked her as a freind. I noticed the more she couldnt have him the less innocent sh ed became. She also had rotten stuff done to her. Max stole her heart, tina stole her baby & delilah stole her designs. Once she married Max's brother to get closer to max is when she really started coming unhinged. She & steve ended badly & she took up with wealthy michael grande. I think she did love michael but not like max. She had resigned to max was never going to happen & really through herself into Michael. Then max took custody of al & that's when sh was really lost all the good. So my point is u can have a couple that are hot as hell but they need substance. Also gabby changing from innocent virgin goody goody to total vixen was believable bc we got to see it happen over the years & why. Her unrequited love was heartbreaking. It's the worst feeling ever. Wanting someone so bad that doesnt want u back will make u so sad & a little crazy. I know the whole backstory bc about 15 years ago & awesome online fan mailed me the entire max & gabby vhs collection. I gotta figure out how to get them uploaded. I can't even watch them bc I dont have a vcr. The tapes are awesome bc they have Tina in prison to. The only two couples I have loved since max & gabby are early todd & blair & Jason & sam in gh from 200i to 2011 til they were stomped on. As for nighttime I loved brenda & Dylan & Brandon & kelly. Max & gabby were so great they made this special of the top 10 all time couples from all 3 abc soaps . Out of all the couples up to 98 that Is impressive. I know cliff & nina , tad & Dixie, the sonny brenda jax triangle for sure were in the list & bo & nora. Maybe angie & jesse & I'm sure luke & laura. Todd & blair should have made it but he was heavily pushed with tea so it was too current.
When they killed off Gabrielle Medina, they were already doomed...I loved OLTL but HA...HA...HA how dare them kill off such an amazing character that NO ONE else could ever play...it was evidence that soap operas were doomed when they killed off a character like Gabrielle. She is one from a few characters that always brought back fans with high ratings and helped make OLTL what it was for many years...now I say ha ha ha when you kill off an icon such as gabreille there is no where else for a show to go but down. Guess it shows why OLTL went from GREAT to OKAY...never kill off a character like her...what a shame.
I agree in such a lame way they also killed off al! I started watching when that child was a little toddler in 89. Gabrielle is an iconic character she put her heart and soul into her scenes. Her abs max got me into soaps. I was 9 and it wss s Friday before labor day all summer the tv was on abc so my mom could tape all the shows. We moved so I was mostly in the house that summer. My mom would watch after work so I kinda was aware if the baby switch stuff and since i was a tot knew if viki Clint bo asa cord Tina but i happened to really be watching gabrielle and max at his place the scene in this clip i got so invested and i could see this was a couple that had some serious history the way they were talking how she seemed so angry at him and they had a child and she was marrying michael grande. Suddenly they are kissing passionately he picked her up and carried her to a booth. Her fiancee michael walks in and that was the cliffhanger. Man I was hooked. Over the years I bought some vhs tapes to discover their complex history and they are the most passionate couple I've seen. They never really got together a lot of lusting from max and love from gabrielle it was almost painful to see how desperate she was to be a family with him. She was a virgin in Argentina and max had an affair leaving her pregnant. That was some start for both new characters . Argentina was such a classic and the beginning of Tina cord max and gabrielles adventures both ladies were carrying the guys sons exactly the same time in their pregnancies. Theirs so much more that happened including tina being Al's mom pretending he was her and cords. Gabrielle was a good girl but she started to unravel with her obsession over max. That other love scene almost broke ur heart bc her husband and Max's brother who she never loved was in a coma. Gabrielle got him drunk and told him steve wanted them to be a family if anything ever happened to him ( lie) so she took him upstairs to his room and he was drunk and depressed and they slept together a very hot scene! Then max woke up gabrielle naked on top of him in heaven and he flipped out and told her it was a mistake and they could never have sex again and maybe they could have been a couple if she didnt marry his brother. My heart broke for her . Then she tried smothering the brother in a coma and when he woke up he started to remember and max and steve became enemies with gabrielle. Then she started to hate him for not loving her back , michael grande came to town ( the fiancee that walked in on them) and he and gabrielle hooked up and swindled Max's hotel out from under him. Max left town after steve died in an accident. Steve's new fiance's was pregnant and michael grande s very pregnant wife came to town. Somehow gabrielle Michael and alicia became close friends . That's when she switched the babies bc Michael's wife died and told her he would kill himself if his baby son died too. Brenda the dead babies mom started to suspect her baby wasnt dead it was michael and Alicia's baby and gabby did the switch to land michael back and have money and power to sue max for custody of al which he got when he returned to town. Brenda knew how much of an affect max had on her so she asked him to get the truth out if her. That scene at the bar started off with him seducing her for a confession but at one point u see max isnt pretending anymore hes into it and falling for her. She did confess went on trial and max kept running to her rescue leaving gf megan over and over he kept saying he was doing it for their son but he finally admitted at her trial he was always in love with her. I'm surprised james says he only wanted her sexually the story played out that max always loved her but was afraid of it. I know he says later max decided he was in love but before he was defining the whole relationship on Max's part as sexual which like I said wasnt what the show said he always loved her and fought his feelings for her bc of the baby they had by accident and now he grew up . Gabrielle def was almost demonically obsessed with him. Either way they were amazing, off the charts chemistry
Loved Max and Gabrielle.

Max and Gabby were 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Their chemistry was off the charts. I miss Gabby so much. I love her with both Bo and Max.
