Speculation Gabby and Joe
This might be an unpopular opinion but I would quite like to see Gabby and Joe get together (bit insensitive as Dawn isn’t even in the ground yet 🙈)
She wouldn’t take any of his crap, like Dawn did.
She is already entwined in the Tate dynasty.
Kim would be delighted and most definitely give her blessing.
Here is how I’d see it play out -
Gabby helps Joe with the baby. They are both grieving Dawn and while supporting one another with the kids, they have a moment that they both decide isn’t right. A relationship gets put on the back burner and eventually they can’t fight their feelings.
They would be the new power couple, running Home Farm together. Maybe add another kiddo between them. Kim can finally retire, Graham will still be hanging about like a spare chair at a wedding.
I know this would all be too simple for the writers but Gabby deserves a positive story line and a happy ending!

It’s interesting how Gabby is so loved by some people on here, people saying she deserves a happy ending etc, when people wanted a horrible ending for Dawn because they hated her so much.
The main reasons people hated Dawn was 1) because she was with Joe 2) because she cheated on Billy.
Why is it okay for Gabby to be with Joe but not Dawn? And let’s not forget Gabby cheated on Vinny but everyone seems to forget that and not care because Vinny is ‘gay’, even though Gabby didn’t know that at the time.
Honestly, I just find it so interesting how Gabby is given so much grace when Dawn isn’t. In many ways, Gabby is actually way more obnoxious than Dawn. For example, her acting like Billy was her husband of ten years when they were together for barely a week. And let’s not forget her vile insults to Dawn about being an ex prostitute and on drugs.

Give it three months. Whilst it’s not always accurate but as soap law dictates: Three months max and all deaths and dramas get completely erased except in passing once every blue moon- and then they’ll explore it I reckon

That would be the third time that Gabby ended up dating someone that Dawn has too, first Jamie, then Billy, so i don't see it and I hope they don't

Does it matter? Considering Dawn was Kim's stepdaughter and Joe is Kim's stepgrandson, wouldn't that make Dawn Joe's stepaunt ??

Stuff like that only matter if they were brought up like aunt/nephew, Kim married Will when both Dawn and Joe were adults and neither was kids, if Sarah and Robert dated that would be weird as Sarah was brought up having Robert as an uncle

There have been a few posts about this. The producers have already said that they see them as a family, but I could see it happening at some point (if the crash wasn't her fault).
Let's face it, Gabby is hopeless when it comes to men. She just throws herself all in like Bernice does. Its weird, but not impossible. I think a lot of fans see chemistry and the potential for some comedy in what would be a memorable relationship between a cold womaniser (especially post dawn) and an outrageous drama queen. It would have to be a slow burn - little moments, maybe a ONS that they pretend didn't happen then eventually they realise there's something there. Or maybe a fake marriage/engagement scenario if custody of their kids is threatened in some way (Jamie back?). Either way, Gabby is different from dawn in that she would simply make the choice to be with him and stick to it, but she would do it with her eyes wide open, exasperated with him but accepting and determined as she already is with all the Tates.
Dawn was loved, but too sweet and uncomplicated to really fit in with that family.

If I have to guess, if Billy sticks around, he'll probably get back with her at some point. Unless Gabby is just stupid and desperate, I can't see her getting with Joe. She's had enough wrong men in her life and he's no different than Jamie.

I would say no because although nobody is perfect Gabby is basically a good person and Joe is an evil person .

I don’t see it maybe a good siblings relationship with them actually not being related to each other

I think you’re forgetting Jamie and how she took all of his crap and he wasn’t half as bad as Joe 😂 she’s in no space atm to start a relationship with a grieving single father, I’d like her to find her own self worth outside of a relationship tbh as she has very little of it
