I’d doubt that Gwen was complimenting her dress too; Abs wears the f-ugliest dresses. I can't believe my mom is dating a recently released convict says the woman who is dating a former addict who has a psycho baby mama on the lamb who might come after her at any time. Odds are dating Clyde won't land Nancy on Tasty Chicken Island thinking she's a long dead and mostly forgotten Dimera. But it's a distinct possibility for Chloe. Chad and Sonny both protest a little too much when it comes to Leo. Funny how Chad has his skinny pants in bigger knots now over this fake news drag queen local tabloid headline than he did when the real news of his affair with the nanny who drugged his wife hit the stands. I was thinking the same thing! Did she learn nothing from Ava???

I thought Friday and Monday's episodes were fun, CIN being fucked with is always a plus for me, so today's episode was rather snooze worthy. If they're not going to show Rolf's chemistry experiment gone wild, damnit don't tease me with it. Admittedly I don't really care about most the people shown today so I ended up wondering things like: Who's print dress is uglier--Abigail's or Jennifer's? Why does Nancy hair look like cotton candy? Why did Clyde stand Nancy up? In fact, where is Clyde? The last we saw him he was on the Dimera couch watching sports. He's never made it back to chez CIN's and he wasn't working the pub when Stayla was eating there. Did the ballgame run into overtime, and he crashed in Jake's old room where he's sleeping in, forgetting all about his date and utterly unaware the devil is running the latest drug ring in town and has given out free samples in Ollie and Ciara's tea? Maybe EJ was supposed to wake him but got sidetracked when Belle and Susan showed up with bigger problems. 🤔

I can't believe that Salem's bozo attorneys can't get Ana off on charges filed by a five-year-old. Even Sami in court should be able to pull that off. Nevertheless, I wouldn't blame Ana if she left Tony behind and went on the run to Tasty Chicken Island. Hell, the Salem PD doesn't even seem to try to catch escaped convict Kristin and she has far more serious charges than trying to inject sense into someone. Evan attacks Ciara... yes please! Here's hoping it's a grizzly Friday the 13th episode.

Marlena being told two of her grandchildren are possessed by the devil: Marlena being told Ben's wife has been kidnapped:

Nice to see them finally using Stephanie's character again, but I shudder to think who she'll get paired with. Chad after Abby is beheaded? Rafe after Nicole cheats on him? Zander when Gwen's in jail and Sarah is still coloring outside the lines?

"It comes down to trying to save Allie’s soul and pulled into this are John, Marlena and Eric." John, Marlena, and Eric are lousy at pulling off successful exorcisms. Sure they expel the devil, but they never seem to banish him completely. Since I prefer Allie-devil to normal-Allie, here's hoping their skills haven't improved. "DiMera CEO twist" I can't imagine the Dimera brothers fighting over that stupid CEO job AGAIN being anything sweeps-worthy "Carlivati explained that Lamon Archey (Eli) shot episodes of another show he’s on, which was why they had him shot and comatose for so long." Glad to see that LA was only temporarily gone. I was afraid Eli was going to wake-up as a recast.

Really enjoyed today's episode, all parts of it, and how all the characters shown eventually crossed path into the overall story arc. Show doesn't manage to pull that off enough these days. Favorite lines: "I really wanted to kill Weston and his wife myself. I feel cheated." -Evan "Let me get this straight; the devil possessed Johnny and then convinced him Italy was lovely this time of year." -EJ "I love you Elvis, but right now you are really getting on my nerves...Who stays dead in this town!?" -Susan But most of all, loved Allie-devil's eye roll when Ciara started going on about her and Ben's connection and epic love. How I feel every time.

"Allie" and Evan looked good together. They seem to have chemistry and would have made an interesting pairing if the show would have written Allie more like her mother. I'd rather see a scheming confident Allie over the wishy-washy one we got. Clearly LA can pull it off as she's doing well w/the devil gig. Plus it would be fun to see the family fall-out of Allie dating Orpheus's son, kinda a throwback to their displeasure when Sami got with a Dimera.

I almost missed it too, but look behind them at the elevator. EJ and Johnny are walking in. Wonder if they left Ben in the crypt with Andre. 😁

Yep, that's pretty much my thoughts w/the show by now too. No matter who is decapitated, if the show wants them back at some point then their head will have been sent to Rolf in the prison mail and he'll have reattached it. Voila, they are alive again. 🤣 Aside from the show being filmed about 6 months out, I doubt he does. And even when he does, his pacing sucks. But I had to set my little behind the scenes story last Aug because it was the last time we had a Friday the 13th. 😉

If the decapitation rumors are true, this is how I imagine it came about... Place: Ron's office. Time: Last August, 2nd Friday of the month. *Ron is writing as MM walks in.* Marci: "As you know, I have a child now and I think I want to spend more time at home with her. Soooo.... *lets out deep breath* I'm not gonna renew my contract when it's up." Ron: "I understand, and I promise to give you a memorable exit. You don't have to worry about going off to mail a letter and never being seen again." *glances at his DVD collection spread on the floor. * He spots his copy of The Exorcist. "Nope, already in progress," he thinks. Next to it is Rosemary's Baby. "Got that covered too," he mumbles. Marci walks out, and Ron frets that he returned those Blockbuster tapes before they closed. "What am I going to rip off now?" Desperate, he turns on the TV. It's a movie marathon to celebrate the day. Ron: "By George, I've got it!"

Maybe Kayla could apply for a job as a doctor at the prison. Then I'll sit back and just wait for Orpheus to come in with a stomachache. 😃

Days writing meeting: Staff intern with forum printouts: "Sir, the viewers think Tony is a moron for going along with Saranee instead of getting her psychological help and a douchebag for expecting Ana to go along with it too." Ron: "Now hold my beer. Next, I'm going to have the Statesville Warden grant Shawn, a measly Salem PD cop, permission to take convicted criminal Jan home with him due to her high-risk pregnancy condition and because the prison is too crowded. He won't give Belle a heads-up first either." Intern: "But wouldn't an attorney have to file legal paperwork? Why wouldn't they just move her to a different prison for women? And what's her condition?" Ron: "Fuck if I know anything about the law or pregnancy. We'll just say it's some big word Jan can't pronounce." 🙄

Count me in on the 'hate Nicole's hair' club. I couldn't agree more that it looks dirty and flat and the color is LONG overdue for a touch-up. Can Bonnie take her somewhere for a new do, please! The dark roots drive me nuts. I find myself looking at them rather than the scene. If she wants to be a blonde then keep up with it; otherwise, I'd rather she just went with her natural hair color.

Yep, pretty much. The whole way through that scene I kept thinking that Beth would have told the truth about TR if Julie's big mouth wouldn't have walked in and taken over. Like a polite person might have noticed Lani talking to someone and immediately excused themselves and backed out of the room to give them privacy before returning a little later, but Julie (and probably Nicole too...and maybe Abigail as well) would demand to know who they were, inserted themselves into the conversation, and generally just behaved like a nosy overbearing hag who owns the hospital even when they don't.

New actor?

"This one is my fav...baby's first Halloween." 😆 I'm really liking Allie-devil. "Apparently he only knows one word." I was kinda thinking the same thing during that scene. "I'm just grateful Dr. Evan's set me straight." -Ben Except it wasn't Dr. Evans; it was the devil and Ben even knows that now. #DumbAsRocks

Probably spinach 😁 Ugh, the leather pants were awful. I wonder if they are from Gabby Chic's maternity line.

EJ is knee deep in business w/Clyde whether he wants to be or not. He's not getting rid of him that easily.

Gee I didn't see that name coming. 🙄 All the drawn out is it a boy or a girl and what will they name it was just fodder for the CIN fans, huh. lol @ EJ and Clyde. All these years, surgeries, and Rolf lifesaving serums later and EJ is not only back in business with the man who "killed" him but has him on his couch in his house as his new sports watching buddy. I like Allie-devil. Her voice and her personality are no longer whiney, woo-is-me wishy-washy annoying. Hers hoping Uncle Eric is the one to "save" her, thus guaranteeing she won't return to normal. Ditto. I was lost on Trask's logic. How is the nanny who slept with one of Dimera Enterprises revolving door of CEOs a bigger crime news media sensation than a mob boss princess? Ava was caught on tape using her organized crime family ties to frame the (albeit clueless) police commissioner. Gwen switched a syringe in a hospital notorious for lousy security. The proof rests on the testimony of said mob princess. Only one of those cases sounds like a slam dunk win and a worthy sound bite in Trask's next political campaign ad. So maybe you are on to something--Trask is secretly smart enough to not want a mob mark on her head while relishing putting a damper on Rafe and Gabby's premature victory dance, ruining Zander's wedding day, and letting the Horton's spill their dirty laundry in the middle of their own square where bystanders can be on-the-scene sources for their competitor's newspaper exclusives. Agree also that Gwen not only got the final word in but it was quite the reveal. Now that twist, unlike CIN's baby name, I did not see coming.

How in the hell does having a high-risk pregnancy get you released from prison!?!? Pretty sure that is not a grounds for an appeal. At an ob/gyn appointment with my youngest, while I was sitting in the waiting room, several guards brought in a female prisoner in her jail jumpsuit and handcuffs. So I imagine they arrange transport for pregnant prisoners who need medical care beyond the prison doc. Though Statesville hosts the great Wilheim Rolf; if he can scramble and unscramble brains, I have utmost faith he can handle a high-risk delivery for Jan without breaking a sweat. So after Orpheus forced Marlena to get him out of Bayview and Orpheus got caught, Evan was gone when John and Marlena turned around. His escape that time was sorta dropped till he showed up again months later and took over Ciara's kidnapping from Rhodes. He got knocked out during her rescue, but not killed, going back into custody again, though whose custody (Statesville or Bayview) was not explained. But he's presumably been incarcerated one way or another since then. I think Ron tweeted some kind of "final chapter" thing so in theory Allie is the last, but then lots of horror movies had a "final chapter" only to be followed by "a new beginning."

Maybe you're thinking of the time before when Orpheus made Marlena get him out of Bayview. They caught Orpheus but Evan escaped and was on the lamb for months after that till the whole Ciara thing.

Allie has the devil's strength and powers so doesn't really matter her physical size. I think he got knocked down/knocked unconscious during the glass cage room explosion, but then he was shown at the police station in a latter scene. The part I'm not sure the show was clear on was whether Evan was able to go back to Bayview to continue treatment or was sent back to Statesville after that stunt.
