Braniac Woman

Wait, what? Since when is Andrea Hall coming back? Did she say who she might be playing?

Yeah, I doubt that chem test would go anywhere and besides if they somehow get together Chad will eventually dump Theresa the minute Abby comes back and Chabby is inevitably reunited. So not happening. Besides, Chabby is way too popular for Chad to be able to move on with anyone else.

I find it so ridiculous that Summer is having a fit over being given up for adoption. Big deal. She's actually much more fortunate compared to some people in Salem and yet she still decided to become a criminal. I am not here for her self-pity party today. And I LOVED how Theresa ripped Summer apart and called her out for the weasel she truly is. And I can't believe Brady actually stood up for Summer and actually told Theresa that he has a problem with her. Wow, way to support your own fiancee, assclown. I would have slapped him after that. Hell, she should've slapped Summer too for good measure. And I can't believe that Summer said that Brady is out of Theresa's league. Since when? I'm really starting to believe that Theresa may be truly too good for Brady. He is just so awful and annoying. If he cheats I am done with him forever! DONE! I've had it with this idiot. I'm so sick of it. I can't believe now I'm really questioning just how much longer can I really root for Thrady. This Summer story is testing my patience. I've literally reached the end of my rope with Brady. He needs some serious revamping as a character. It's sad that I loathe a character like Summer so much I didn't even care how much of a bitch Theresa was to her today. And honestly, she's pretty justified after the way she messed up their date and apparently followed them home. I actually don't mind Theresa being a bitch when the occasion really calls for it & the person really deserves it. This is one of those times. And I can't believe that Eric basically woke up from a night of screwing Jennifer and with a hangover. It's so sad and pathetic. At least he got to have scenes with his family.

Is all of that stuff going to transpire under Josh/Beth or Dena/Ryan? I'm confused...

Yeah at this point I'm expecting Brady & Summer to either kiss or have a ONS and Brady is going to desperately try to hide it from Theresa and it somehow comes out at their wedding, leaving Theresa to be heartbroken & publicly humiliated. I'll bet that's why the majority of people might end up watching their wedding - just to see it implode like Brady's weddings always do. And a lot of people might actually twist it around to make it seem like Theresa somehow deserves to be cheated on because of her past sins and it's karma paying her back.

Ugh, today was super annoying. I really wished I could've enjoyed Thrady's date but Summer pretty much ruined it. And with Brady acting so inconsiderate and insensitive towards Theresa, I really think that maybe now would be a good time to rethink the engagement. What if Brady continues to act like this during their marriage? Theresa definitely needs to set Summer & Brady straight. I really can't deal with this crap. It's too much. There might end up being a time where Theresa may have to give Brady an ultimanum and if Brady still decides he wants to help Summer then she needs to walk away from him. If Brady can't prove that he's worthy of her, then the show needs to find another love interest for Theresa that actually has a decent personality and will not only treat her like a queen but also give her unconditional love. And I'm definitely not talking about Philip or Dario, (they're both losers). I'm sorry... I'm just so mad and infuriated that I want to punch a wall. I swear... if Brady does anything with Summer, I want Theresa to permanently break things off with him and take Tate with her...

Surprisingly, I didn't really hate Eduardo & Adriana yesterday. I thought they had a very nice and meaningful conversation and I kind of understood where Eddie was coming from, even though it's still weird he ended up siring more kids after he left the Hernandez family. Maybe Eduardo thought if he could keep on maintaining a normal facade by creating more families of his own perhaps he could throw off any suspicion that he may be an assassin, especially the Alliance. If Eduardo really wants to reconcile with Adriana, then be my guest. I actually wouldn't really hate the idea especially if Eduardo works hard to make amends to his family, although I would also understand why Adriana may be reluctant to forgive her ex. Then again, I get the feeling that perhaps Adriana was actually the love of Eduardo's life and not Eve's. The only thing that really bothered me yesterday other than that Hope/Rafe kiss was Dario barging in and demanding that Eduardo leave them be as if he was the man of the house. What an ass! I'm sorry, but Dario is really starting to aggravate me! He's easily one of the most annoying characters right now and I wish he can just pack up and go back to California along with Summer. And the way he's hounding after Nicole is kind of sad too. Honestly, Nicole deserves better than this creep. And what was up with his comment of, "Maybe means yes"? That was just spine-tinglingly creepy and gross. It gives me bad vibes about this dude. And also I have serious reservations about Kate/Nicole/Deimos. Honest to God I think Kate & Deimos are nasty and disgusting and I grimace every time I see them kiss. I think Nicole & Deimos could be interesting especially since Nicole has mingled with bad boys before but I don't know... I think Deimos may be even more bad news than Dario and his attempted poisoning/murder of Maggie pretty much soured me on the character. I don't know if there's any going back with this guy. And aside from Kate and MAYBE Nicole, I doubt Deimos can be paired with anyone else without making it look so icky. I seriously have no idea who to root for or whether or not to care or how much to care. Other than those storylines, yesterday was pretty dull. And also I'm just waiting for Abby to be hauled off to the mental institution because I definitely don't want to see the story dragged out any longer. Let's just get it over with because we know she's already gone bonkers and she needs to recuperate at the funny farm for awhile. I'm not so sure what I can enjoy in today's episode, (maybe the Thrady date, but even that will be completely marred by Summer's dumb, annoying antics and that really pisses me off, because why the hell can't the writers allow us a couple of minutes of pure happiness for one episode without something horrible or depressing happening?!), and I'm sure it'll be even worse than yesterday's episode. Also I've been waiting forever for Theresa/Brady to go on a real date and I can't even have that. And I guess with the amount of people that must be beyond pissed by what's going on with the show and probably have trashed their T.V.s right now, I think Days should reimburse its viewers for the damage incurred by the amount of people destroying their T.V.s, computers, etc., all because of their crappy writing.

Where did you hear this? Does it actually say that in the current issue of SOD? Well, if Sonny is only coming back for a short visit, on one hand that sucks because that means there's no way that Will's alive if he's not going to be around long term. What is his story even gonna be? Just visit Victor after his health crisis and then he takes off for Paris again, never to see Ari ever again? Is he going to try to snap Paul out of his brainwashing? On the other hand it's great because that would mean less of an opportunity for Dena Higley to ruin him even further than he already has.

Okay... I got to say, Arianne Zucker is rocking the dark hair! I didn't think she'd look so good with a different type of hair. On the other hand though, Young!Victor looks very off to me. He barely looks anything like how Victor is now. And this looks like it could be a bad repeat of the Colleen/Santo storyline.

Wow.... this sucks... the only spoilers that sound even more remotely interesting are the Theresa & Nicole/Deimos spoilers. I normally hate Victor harassing Theresa usually but I guess any drama is fine at this point. Besides, Victor serves as a stronger antagonist to Thrady than Summer does. The rest are godawful, especially the Joey & Jade one. Since when are they such a solid couple that we can actually root for them? Oh wait... I don't think they're officially together! This really sucks!

How would making Theresa an executive at Titan even work? Before she became a fashion designer, she barely had any marketable skills to begin with. I think that would be even less believable than her working at Basic Black, not to mention her poor work ethics. I think what Days should've done is have Theresa be a singer instead since Jen Lilley is also a very good singer. It would make sense because the actress has an actual talent in real life and Theresa could have been used to help mentor Claire in Eve's absence. It's a real damn shame this whole fashion designing thing seems to be going absolutely nowhere.

I don't know. I have a feeling the D.J. Wear clothing line will be sidelined for a while since Nicole seems to be entangled in the Deimos storyline and Theresa & Brady have their hands full with Summer for the time being. Maybe Dena will resurrect the storyline but who knows? I won't be surprised if Chad ends up with Ciara. So typical of Days to have the men cheat on their wives with no thought to their vows or promises to be faithful. I guess there is no such thing as true love anymore. It's only according to the current agenda/storyline until the show changes hands or direction and we move on to the other so-called true love. I really thought that maybe if Thrady went kaput permanently they might do Chad/Theresa but judging from Jen Lilley's recent pic from the other day, that seems so unlikely. And at this point, I think as long as Chabby continues to be popular there isn't a chance in hell that Chad & Theresa will share a single scene. On the other hand though, maybe they could try Chad with Blanca. We still don't know what Blanca's story is going to be yet.

And there isn't the chance that Brady won't break her heart yet again? Also, I totally forgot about this, but who is this Blanca chick going to be paired up with? If Brady won't end up with Nicole, he could still end up with her. And I think Blanca is supposed to show up within the next month or two.

Okay then... I guess I won't be surprised if Dario's one of the next people to go since it seems like Dena wants to get rid of everything & everyone Josh brought on. But that would be weird because Dario is a Hernandez and I thought Dena liked that family... Days definitely needs diversity but I really don't think the Hernandezes fit that bill. The only member of that family I actually I like is Gabi and that's about it. Anyways my point still stands... Dario was a nobody during his last stint and he still hasn't caught on with a lot of people even with him now being recast by a new actor. Dario is a hypocritical ass harping on his father for abandoning his family even though it wasn't exactly of his own volition and he's the one who's pulling cons and being a small time criminal. Pot calling the kettle back... and so far Dario hasn't given me any reason for me to care for him or to root for. It doesn't matter how good of an actor you are, if the writing sucks, it sucks period and people simply won't warm up to a character. Maybe if he would clean up his face I might not be bothered so much by him...

Yeah but that doesn't mean that Higley won't try Brady/Nicole/Theresa again especially if she's so determined to make Bricole happen and that's why I don't believe there will be a wedding. Why waste time on a wedding for a particular couple when that couple will end up breaking up in a matter of weeks if not hours anyway? And it's not like Thrady's a particularly popular couple anyway. I'm sure plenty of people will relieved when the book is closed on them forever. And honestly I think Philip would have been a better choice for Theresa than Dario and ideally I would've been behind a Philip/Theresa/Brady triangle only to have Brady actually fight for Theresa and prove his love for her but sadly John Paul Lavoisier sucks ass and they pretty much ruined Philip at this point with the lame Shawn/Belle/Philip love triangle redux. And what is the point of Dario anyway? It doesn't matter whether or not Jordi Vilasuso is a good actor or not when Dario is such an unappealing character anyway and it's not like people even wanted him back in the first place. The only reason he's been brought on is only because Dena wants her own stupid Hernandez family to be the center of the show. Even with a recast Dario is such a dud. Also I'm so tired of women fighting over Brady. What is so great about him that so many women have to fall all over his pathetic ass? Why can't we see men fighting over Theresa for a change? At least on the surface it would make sense for men to be drawn to her and want to court her, even with the issues she has. I've only tolerated Brady in Theresa's presence because I wanted Theresa to be happy and be with a guy who actually gives a damn about her and brings out the best in her. If there's any other decent guy out there available for Theresa, I would welcome the alternative but so far there's none.

If Higley's ultimate plan is Brady/Nicole, then why even go through with a Thrady wedding? Just have Brady & Theresa break up and that's it. No need to have Brady cheat on Theresa for no reason and basically ruin a good friendship with Nicole. And um, I'd rather not put Theresa with Dario. Dario is a disgusting criminal loser with a disgusting beard on his face and he isn't that attractive. Besides, he's kind of a momma's boy anyway and he's so unnecessary. I'd rather have Theresa be paired with someone with no ties to Salem like they did with Hope & Aiden. Or if Higley really wants Thrady to stay together just make Brady & Theresa more of an edgy couple and have them be more exciting & interesting.

Yeah well I've been reading up on several message boards so I have a clear idea of what many people are thinking and feeling. So based on how many people like a particular storyline versus not liking it, I can reasonably conclude whether or not a storyline or a particular character turn is a success or not. Sometimes it's really hard to tell because in some stories people are totally divided. The Summer story is definitely a big flop. So many people despise the character and how the writers are now retconning one of the most beloved love stories just to justify her existence. And now many people are upset over how Maggie basically lied about having a stillborn child when the whole time she knew Summer had lived and she basically gave her up. It's so ridiculous that she lied to Victor about that of all things to lie about. I mean, come on... Victor did much worse shit than her and you expect me to believe that Maggie's going to be afraid that he'll be angry at her for this? And she was 17 for God's sakes and a cripple! How could anyone fault her for doing what she felt was best for Summer? And by the way, Summer's choices are all on her and the show better not try to manipulate me into feeling sorry for her. Honestly, I don't care anymore about Theresa whacking John but that's the one misdeed of hers that people tend to hold against her more than anything else she has done. I also agree with you that Theresa definitely needed some serious redeeming, (why wouldn't she?), but I'm beginning to realize more lately that the one thing I've always liked about her, (probably the only thing actually aside from her occasionally showing some vulnerability), was her edge. And I'm worried that Higley will probably write her into yet another extreme again, (and possibly not in a good way), so maybe it's best if Jen Lilley just left at this point. It's probably going to get worse and I doubt anyone expects her relationship with Brady to last anyway. I actually saw a comment last night where one person snarked that Galen Gering better start baking like Jen Lilley if he wants to win over people while fanwanking a "failed pairing" like Rope. I think some people despise Jen Lilley because they feel like she somehow manipulates the producers/writers/whoever with her baking skills & getting people to like her.

Yeah I don't know about Theresa's redemption. You might like it and I may like it but I think generally it's kind of a mixed bag. Many people have liked it but there's also just as many people that have hated it because some feel that it basically got rushed and even some people have claimed that Theresa's become boring and watered down because of it. Not to mention that some people feel that Theresa was only redeemed just to pair her up with Brady and that has caused a lot of resentment. I also get the impression that some people believe that Brady got ruined because of Theresa, (which I personally think is utter bullcrap because Brady got ruined as a character long before Theresa, but whatever...). I don't know... I won't be surprised if Higley undoes Theresa's redemption and we see her terrorizing Brady & his family again after they get married, (and that's a big IF on the wedding). And who knows? Maybe Tate may wind up dead because of her and Theresa may be sent away to the funny farm for years to come just like Abby. I won't be surprised if Jen Lilley leaves sometime next year because maybe she's just tired of getting garbage writing year after year and I feel that perhaps she may want to move on to her music career anyway, even if she does continue to act. I figured that with her Christmas album being number one now it's probably a matter of time before she may be planning for a life post Days. Besides, I'm sure most of the general audience is just tired of Theresa and want her gone period and I think they may finally get their wish come next year. And I'm starting to wish that Jen Lilley had never left Youthful Daze. She had it better on that show. Days just doesn't care period. They probably think she's a crappy garbage actress who can't handle heavy material and that's why she constantly gets shoved over for people like Kate Mansi. Maybe she would've been a big prime time star by now instead of a C-lister or D-lister star who continually gets shafted by writing regimes. Maybe it's a good thing she's such a team player because if I were in her shoes, I'd be pretty pissed right now for getting constantly fucked over by lame ass writers and I'd be planning to bolt from my contract the first chance I get. And I think the Basic Black story could've worked but apparently Dena thought having Brady magically transform into Daniel because of his heart and having dreams of Nicole and having Theresa shake in her boots over them was more entertaining. Honestly I think Kate being an uber bitch kind of ruined the story but it could've been great if Dena stuck with it. And J.J. & Gabi as a couple hasn't really caught on because they never had much screentime to begin with and whenever J.J.'s on anymore it's to basically prop Abby & Chad. And honestly I don't know if J.J. as a cop really has worked in the long run. I like J.J. being more mature, self-assured and responsible now but they really rushed through the transition of him becoming a cop and they got rid of all of the necessary beats that is required for us to care about him becoming a cop. Not only that but he's nothing more than a random stock cop and they pretty much got rid of his personality, which sucks since J.J. was one of the more better developed characters under Tomsell and to see him being reduced to nothing more than a prop is pretty tragic to watch. Honestly, he should've just become a musician and teamed up with Claire to form a band. Probably would've made for a more interesting storyline. Maybe Theresa can join that band too if her fashion career ever falls apart, which it might sooner or later. What is sad is that a lot of those ideas actually could've worked out well but by the time Griffley came on board there wasn't much time to flesh out these stories and they had to do something drastic to save the show from cancellation. So maybe if the show wasn't in such dire straits by the time of Tomsell's departure, maybe things would've been different. And as for being a possibility of a baby switch story, if I can recall correctly that was probably Higley's most successful story and with Theresa now being the next gen Sami, I won't be surprised if she's involved with one with maybe Gabi or Nicole. I read somewhere that Higley wants Nicole to become a mom so maybe she may find a way to do it.

Not all Lifetime movies are bad. I've seen some pretty good and interesting ones, even if some of them were cheesy. The Whitney Houston biopic was good and the Toni Braxton flick was very good too. I also liked Jen Lilley's Christmas movie that aired last year and it was pretty good too. I even liked the movie with a crazy lady obsessed with a teenage musician and pretending to be a nun at a local Catholic school. Really bizarre and over the top but still entertaining. But seeing as some current & former Days alum have appeared on Lifetime movies over the years, I won't be surprised if Kate Mansi has at least one Lifetime movie to her resume.

Ha, ha, ha! So I guess even hacks like Higley know when another hack's ideas are bad? So who was responsible for the Valentine's day episode? Higley? And I'm going to guess she might have been also responsible for the Basic Black story. And I'm pretty certain that Dena might have also originally wanted a Nicole/Brady/Theresa love triangle with the whole magic Daniel heart crap. She may attempt to do it again by having Brady cheat on Theresa with Nicole on the eve of their wedding. I think if she had her way she would have had Brady eventually abandon Theresa for Nicole and basically break her heart. Maybe Dena might have intended Dario for Theresa if he had arrived while she was still head writer. I think Josh may be responsible for Theresa's redemption arc/Thrady/probably Jabi too & J.J. being turned into a cop. I also think this whole Summer mess might have been Josh's idea since I don't think Dena would want to ditch her own character. And as bad as Josh has been, I doubt things will get any better under Higley, if any. I won't be surprised if we see a lot more cheating/bed-hopping within the next couple of months. Hell, I was actually wondering if maybe Higley might attempt to do a baby switch with Theresa/Nicole by having them get pregnant at the same time and having their babies snatched from them.

Really? Now J.J.'s worried about his mom's addiction to pills? Took you long enough, dumbass! Ugh... are we heading for a one night stand with Brady & Summer? I won't be surprised at this point... Maybe Theresa got fed up with Brady's crap and decided to break off the engagement and move out of their apartment. Of course... Typical Brady... This week just sounds so boring...

Even if Theresa/Brady do end up getting married, I doubt their marriage is going to last long. It won't be long before Brady gets restless & bored of his new wife & decides to cheat on Theresa with some other woman. And I'm pretty certain that the actual wedding will have at least some drama involved. I won't be surprised if one of Brady's exes decides to crash the event at the last minute. And what kind of story are the writers willing to write for Thrady once they're actually married? Are they going to allow them to get involved in the drama of the Kiriakis clan? Are they going to bless Thrady with another child? I'm just so skeptical that this wedding is even going to happen based on Brady's previous romantic history and not to mention we've had so many couples that got broken up within the last year... I'll bet even if Kate Mansi hadn't decided to leave Chabby might've been history too eventually because the writers would've come up with some contrived drama to tear them apart... so what makes Thrady any different this time?

I have a feeling Quan/Higley may have decided to do away with Thrady entirely so there probably won't even be a wedding. I'll bet you it's probably Rope since Dena's so in love with the pairing. Theresa's probably going out with a guy that isn't Brady. And you may want to hold your breath for Theresa getting a backbone because it might've also been Dena's idea to pussify Theresa too. Whatever happens, I expect something major to go down. Maybe something happens to Theresa that causes her to go into a coma or be otherwise incapacitated for a very long time until sometime before Jen Lilley's contract lets up.

Yeah but Victor still hates Theresa. Why the hell would he allow his grandson to get married in his mansion to the woman he so despises? That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it might be Maggie's idea for them to get married there since I think that was also where Maggie & Victor got married. It would also be even weirder because I just saw a photo that Jen Lilley posted on Twitter from her Instagram earlier today with Billy Flynn and she's wearing a burgundy dress with an updo. Why would Theresa be dressed like she's going out to a club to her own wedding?! That's just odd...

20 bucks says that the wedding doesn't pan out or that the marriage doesn't even last 24 hours. I'll give them less than 6 months if even that. On the other hand, kind of weird that they would get married in the Kiriakis mansion. Whose idea is that?
