    Current Plots Discussion II: Discussing Today's Episode and Current Storylines

    Sarah is so frustrating. First she doesn't even accept the fact that Xander only filed for full custody when she was ensuring full custody for herself by fraudulently claiming Rex as the father. Then she turns down every attempt Xander makes to settle out of court and come up with something between them. Then she whines he is going to be mean to her in court when she is planning to be mean to him in court. Eric's testimony honestly helps Xander's case. She literally CHOSE him to be the father of her baby therefore admitting he is good father material. Sloan is a far better and far more vicious lawyer than Justin, I like his chances at this point, but I agree it should just be shared custody. And can we get on with it already. One scene with the same conversation every two weeks is ridiculous.

    Yes, I'm REALLY over her whole wounded bird act.  She started this with her stupid lie about Rex and then insisted they had to fight it out in court.  Yet, she has the audacity to act hurt every time Xander simply tries to counter what SHE'S doing.

    Steve instantly mistrusting Constantine was a bit unearned. He wasn't being overtly suspicious at all.

    Victor's weird portrait with the massively blue sky? Not so much.

    Oh, come on.  Wouldn't you be instantly suspicious of whoever gave someone that monstrosity?  I thought it was pretty funny that while both Steve and Kayla thought they painting was hideous, they were both dancing around about how awful it was.  Steve:  "It's big."  One of the better lines today.

    Fortunately for all of us, they cut the John and Marlena slobbering all over each other act short today.  Not NEARLY as painful as I feared.

    Wasn't the Theresa story supposed to be 12 weeks, and they wanted to do that story, so they recast Theresa? Well, after the 12 weeks, they can just put Emily O'Brien in as Sloan. She's already got the wig. And, I am not serious, but who knows what this stupid show will do?

    This would be kind of amazing.

    Hey, show could just have Emily cycle through the cast every 12 weeks or so.  She was Gwen, now she's Theresa, next, she could be Sloan.  She could be Xander's mother in flashbacks.  Maybe she could be on call to be the general understudy for anyone in the cast.  Who wouldn't want to see her as Alex, Brady or maybe Doug?  I, for one, would love to see her fill in for Paulina or Julie.

    The Giant portrait of Victor reminds me of the giant portrait of Stephano in the DiMeara house.

    I'm sorry, but that thing is absolutely hideous.  If something ever happened to Mr. Cat I couldn't IMAGINE who would hate me enough to "gift" me with something like that.  Fortunately, I know Mr. Cat would be incredibly honored if I burned the thing in our fire pit so I wouldn't have to look at that for long.

    This is why Brady isn't worse to me than Theresa.

    I'm not necessarily saying he's worse.  It's just the fact that Theresa hasn't done anything half as bad as a lot of the Salem residents and she's universally trashed while Brady, who has admittedly done some pretty awful stuff is still pretty universally revered as a "great guy."  Sort of like how everyone bends over backwards to tell Eric what a great father he'll be when he's PROVEN he's shit as a father.

    In real life? Absolutely.

    But Theresa is just as horrible as Brady, in her way. Neither have a leg to stand on as far as morality goes. And Tate getting tossed from school is the child they created.

    I'm not saying Theresa is an innocent but Brady has also done some truly heinous things.  Yet, somehow everybody in Salem goes around trashing Theresa (who actually showed some growth before the writers decided to completely ruin her character) while Brady (who hasn't really changed from an asshole with anger issues) is universally regarded as a "great guy."

    I was shocked they actually allowed Tate to tell Brady that he basically neglected him to put Rachel first.  I wish he had brought up when Brady also ran off with Nicole and Holly (essentially making it so he wouldn't see Tate at all).  Unfortunately, Tate seemed to buy Brady's pro forma apology.

    Brady, EVERYONE, including your sainted step-mother would tell you that no matter how angry you are at your ex - you do NOT trash the other parent to your child.  It really just shows what an ass he is.

    Steve puts pressure on Chad.

     

    Friday, October 27, 2023 

    Steve admits to Kayla that his actions caused trouble.

    This whole thing is REALLY out of character for Steve.  Of course, maybe it's because I really hate the whole father protecting his daughter's "innocence" trope that I WANT this to be out of character for Steve.  Stephanie's a grown woman - if she isn't mature enough to discuss her own relationship she certainly isn't mature enough to get married.

    I'll be fine with Holly, regardless of her Ciara-like crush on Johnnie, if she eviserates Eric for not being good enough to be his daughter.  Cuz, as we all know, Eric has always wanted to be a father.  Except, apparently, to Holly.

    At least, that's the way she, most emphatically, should see it.  I'm hoping against common sense that perhaps Show can give us a storyline with some depth and history instead of something stupid and predictable, something that might flesh some characters out enough for us to care about them as more than just cartoon cutouts.

    Oh, also, can someone depants Rafe or at least give him a nuclear wedgie?  He treats his exes, no matter who, like shit all of the time, but it's particularly egregious with Ava.  HE'S the one who pursued her, moved her into his house and then cheated on her with her best friend.  Also, I can't forget what a pissy biotch he became with Kate when he dumped her for Jordan.  

    His choice of partners may not be the best but that's not excuse for what an utter ass he always is when he's no longer getting way.  Jada Beware.

    Well, you have to admit he's a little justified with Ava.  After all, she DID destroy his teddy bear.  You can forgive a lot but a Teddy Bear?

    Guys, I'm so disappointed he's a horndog type and she's a cross between First Day Druggie Theresa and Lovesick Ciara (remember her bizarre crush on Chad?)

    Maybe it's my own bias, but I don't think they're trying to show Holly as a druggie.  I think most teens at least try alcohol and pot - it seemed like it was sort of casual - not like she's really that in to it.  I'm really hoping the whole "In love with Johnny" thing is supposed to show that she's some naive teenager and this is the obligatory angst between her and Tate since they are obviously going to put them together.  Especially since her crush on Johnny is going absolutely nowhere.

    She was rather unsympathetic over how affected he was but then again it was treated as an afterthought by this show that he was raped.

    The thing is Marlena dealt with a similar situation back when Paul saw her and he mentioned having an affair with Will. Then Marlena ended it right there and said she couldn't be involved. Paul wondered why then Marlena told him that Will was her grandson. So to have her do this is rather jarring tbh.

    I'd forgotten that.  I guess because it was Belle (who Marlena always thinks can do no wrong) who was cheated on that Marlena became such a bitch to Talia.  Or maybe she just thinks if it's HER family member that's cheating (i.e. it was Will cheating, not Sonny) that it's all OK then.

    Daniel was Victor's godson. That was always canon. Daniel's "parents" were Victor's old friends. When they had trouble conceiving, Victor stepped in and used his money/power to "acquire" Maggie's eggs (not knowing they were hers). 

    That whole story line really drove me crazy.  Apparently,  Maggie was not only freezing her eggs (for some unknown reason), but having them stolen and used a full 10 years before in vitro fertilization was even discovered.

    If anyone is worried about what having AI on our television screens might be like, they need look no further than watching RoboMar try to pretend to be human.  The measured blinking, the dry titter, that faint sound of her internal tape deck rewinding when she stands up, that's Doc.

    John gets Dick Van Dyke as his father, Marlena would end up the daughter of Tommy the Toaster and some Roomba with no morals.

    There literally is no there, there, with her anymore.

    Marlena:  I'm not here to judge you, I'm here to help you.  I am an objective professional.

    Also Marlena:  If you think I'm not going to judge the HELL out of you, you are sadly mistaken.

    An actual REAL professional, would have simply said that in light of the new information she could not longer work with Talia.  She would have stopped the whole Talia drama scene it its tracks.

    She has a choice. They couldn't make her when she wasn't hired as Theresa.  I don't buy she's a victim, she could have declined.  She felt guilty because she should. It shows the type of person she is. 

    Maybe her choice was take the role or get fired.  Maybe they were going to write off Gwen no matter what.  If they then brought in another actor to play Theresa it wouldn't benefit Jen and Emily would be out of a job.

    No words about Phloe. God no. Especially with this Phillip

    I was getting whiplash from Chloe today.  First she decides she's going to MARRY someone, then decides against it (can't fault her for that decision), is crying on the phone with her mother over her decision to not get married, and LITERALLY 5 minutes later, she's declaring her love for someone else.  Really awful writing.

    Did like the scenes with Xander and Sarah.

    I REALLY want to play poker with Tripp - he'd believe your bluff even if you told him flat out you were bluffing.

    I really don't like her naming the child after Victor.

    Today, she brought up that one of her major beefs with Xander is the whole baby swap thing.   She can't forgive him for that, but NAMES THE BABY after Victor, the person who's idea it was originally and basically convinced Xander to do it.  I'm not saying she should necessarily forgive Xander but it seems really hypocritical to HONOR his co-conspirator and the actual master mind behind the plot to begin with.

    Since when are Brady and Alex such GREAT pals that Brady would try to warn Alex away from Theresa?  Was he seriously just trying to be that big of an asshole to Theresa?  And now Brady and Alex are buddy buddy enough to be going on some adventure together?  Maybe I'm blocking it out, but I honestly can't remember a single scene where they had even a vaguely friendly interaction.

    I want to sit at the same table with @DisneyBoy and @boes.  I too like Theresa despite all the things she's done.  Pretty much everybody has done terrible things and it seems like either they get hated for things that are far less heinous than what other characters have done, or their truly awful things get hand-waved away by some other character insisting that they're now a different person so everyone should just ignore all the terrible things they did (see Ben, Kristen, etc.)

    I'm not sure I can ever REALLY forgive Abigail's character for causing Ben to go crazy and saddling us all with his GREAT redemption story by him and CIAAARA having the truest LUV ever in history.

    And I completely agree, I hate having Theresa begging Brady for another chance when he's the one who should be apologizing for trying to destroy her relationship with her sister.

    At least it looks like they're not going to drag out the Eric/EJ mess and it appears that Xander will find out that he's actually the father of Sarah's baby.
