"he's got no problem with it" archey remarked. however, eli keeps the information in the back of his mind just in case. eli believes that he can help gabi get over chad. eli is attracted to the "sweet girl" that gabi and because she is hurting, there is an element of protectiveness on eli's part. but eli is determined to take his relationship with gabi slowly. according to archey, eli is attracted to every part of gabi. "from the first time they met, he was very intrigued by her." archey praised his co-star camila banus for being "very bubbly" and "easy to work with." he continued, "she knows what she's doing and makes the job easier for me." eli and gabi's romance falls apart when he cheats on her. when asked about the two potentially reuniting, archey said they had been through too much.
