Same with me. I left pre Taniel and didn't return until November 2013. Wilson brought me back. I never bought Theresa as another type of Sami. With Sami at least there was an explanation for her nasty behavior. With Theresa, it wasn't even close to plausible.

The family wars again? Recycling should be kept to environmental factors. We all realize that Brady isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but I found it refreshing that Theresa burst in with her little speech. Most women would feel a little intimidated walking into a room full of Kiriakis men. Did Failure kidnap Chad's conscience and take it to the hospital? He's doing everything for plot point baby he says. I don't think that plot point baby (assuming he has a shred of good character inside him) would approve of his father stabbing a friend in the back in the name of the almighty dollar. Being a honest, hardworking father is an honorable legacy to leave a child. And apparently nobody has noticed the very standout of Salem, Jeremiah, snooping around town. If he can go around town undetected, it should leave little doubt as to why the con trio hasn't been apprehended.

I must agree. You know Rafe will save her with his cape flying ala Taniel. If only the con trio would take him. It's a nice dream.

Ahhh....a kindred spirit. Im right there with you on this. Im enjoying Aiden making her squirm!

I was thinking it.....and you said it. Please dont let it be so!

Yes, yes yes. A thousand times over. I so agree with you. I will never understand why Daniel Cosgrove was brought back for this. It's like I keep seeing him continuously being ran over by a very large bus. For what? Rope? You mean his trigger finger?

Ahhh the pier. So many memories there. Who could forget when Marlena first came back and reunited with John? I'll be glad to see it back.

Wow! If anybody could bring it in a scene like this, it would be him. This looks great!

I was thinking that with JL leaving, it could mean that Theresa will die. That would definitely bring Kim and Shane back to town.

Kudos to you for this entire post! I was in shock that Brandon was mentioned myself. I 100% agree with you on the actor playing Theo. He is a definite keeper. My 16 year old son has Autism and KP is portraying it so realistically. When it comes to Rafe, I'm just waiting for a statue to be erected in his honor. Daniel 2.0!

It really is! I keep thinking about what could have been or should have been with these kids. It's really sad and extremely disappointing to say the least!

I have to keep reminding myself of who their parents were/are after seeing these kids. Brady is the son of John and Isabella. Neither of which were ever as dumb. When it comes to Abby, daughter of Jack and Jennifer, I dont even know where to start. Not to mention Joey who was born to Steve and Kayla. Was there an alien abduction of brains and personalities with the new generation?

Yes she did! I loved that period. The Sonny/Will romance is what brought me back to the show after a 7 year break.

My thoughts for this week...... Just when I thought that Joey would carry the "Too Stupid To Live" title forever, in comes Claire to give him competition. You would think that being held by a psychopath with Marlena would have given her a moment of "Hmmm....maybe I shouldnt go outside until the criminals are caught". Didnt happen!! So we have another "who's the daddy?" How about these women using birth control? Or did Chloe visit a sperm bank? Although they are up in age, Im really enjoying seeing John and Steve in action. Just think of the alternatives....It could have been people like Brady and JJ in a partnership. Plus, so far, Rafe is not being portrayed as the big rescuer/hero. Thats a huge plus! Now we come to Hope. After me taking a break for months, Im still having to endure "The Men of Hope's Life." Although, prior to the big reveal of Aiden being a Dimera employee, I was a fan of Haiden. I cannot take it anymore! Personally, I loathe what has happened to the character of Aiden overall, except for him aquiring the knowledge of who killed Stefano and using it to make Hope squirm. The Con Trio. At times I keep having images of The Three Stooges popping into my head. For the most part, I am enjoying the excitement. We all know that Clyde doesnt like to be talked down to. Its a wonder that he hasnt popped off on Orpheus. Xander comes off looking like a little kid trying to fit in with the popular boys. Of the three Im enjoying Orpheus the most and the good ol flashbacks he has brought.
