  1. Jamey Gidden’s clarification on his original tweet regarding the Bo/Hope reunion storyline that was nixed. yesterday’s show was good , loved the Brady family being together.
  2. I can see you aren't a fan of Kristian's, but as a fan I've never heard she was against portraying a Grandmother. We can agree to disagree on the subject. As for the show, I think Peter and Kristian are doing a great job with the material they've been given, that said, the writing , direction, and general respect for the rich history that was valued in the heyday of DOOL will never be again, which by this viewers standards is a big detraction. That being said, I'm here for Kristian and Peter and Bo and Hope, so I'm going to relish every moment of it.
  3. When Bo discovered Victor was his Father in 1986 (great reveal btw) Bo was the black sheep of The family, Shawn had always favored Roman& Bo was always trying to make Shawn Proud. When the reveal happened, Kim wasn’t sure if Andrew was Shane or Victors & Victor was gunning for the baby , he also was trying to destroy Shawn’s Business so Caroline would Turn to him. Bo made a bargain with Victor to live in his home & he’d acknowledge him as his Father. But Bo was working with Shane secretly to take Victor down, but in time Victors praise of Bo started to shift his opinion & he started to scare Hope because he was defending Victor & covering up some of his crimes , something Bo would never do. In 87 to tie up Bo & Hope’s story, Victor sacrificed his relationship with Bo & faked tests to say he couldn’t be Bo’s Father, he knew deep down his son wanted to be a Brady & he wanted Bo to be Happy. Then 1990 happened & Victor was ruthless as ever & changed his mind. I have this storyline on my tik tok page , they should show some of these scenes on the current show in context to Bo’s behavior. There is an amazing scene between Alice & Bo where she tells him exactly who he is , it’s a beautiful scene. Regarding the current storyline, I’m not sure if it’s Peter’s acting choice, but his dialogue is very stilted, if it’s an acting choice for the character then I can possibly see what he’s doing … I love seeing Kristian/Hope, and speaking of Hope , she was always onto Megan’s “nice act” so I’m hoping they hone in on old School Hope’s determination & detective skills.
  4. Megan was campy from day one, she was obsessed with Bo and I mean to the point of delusion. She and Bo dated when they were 15 and her Mother had schemed to break them up, Megan was PG at the time and ended up leaving Salem and terminating the pregnancy and Bo took off to the Mechant Marines broken hearted. When Megan returned to Salem she told Bo they'd had a baby she put up for adoption thinking that alone would get his attention away from Hope who had been threatned to marry Larry Welch which was all orchestrated by Maxwell Hathaway (her adopted father on Stefano's payroll) who then got Nick Corelli to get Diane, Bo's High School friend and and ex hooker to give up her little boy who conveniently was the same age as the child Megan and Bo would've had ( and Bo did not know DIane had a child, until later) whose name ironically was Zack. Marlena knew Megan well, because Megan knew about the plot to kill Roman back in 1984 (this island and cliff with Stefano) at the crux of the Prism storyline , Megan overheard Larry speaking to a friend of Larry's father who created the Prisms and that the prism had been altered to destroy Salem, not save her Father. Megan confronted Larry and he pushed her into a wall where she died from her injuries and when Larry realized that Megan had set up the hot tub to kill Hope, he placed Megan in it, took all the evidence to show it was plot to kill Hope and set up Hope to be the main suspect. But Larry's fiancé at the found out Larry had killed Megan, and recorded it, Larry was paranoid and then tried to kill his Fiance with Arsenic. There's so much to unpack in 1984, but that's a brief history of Megan. So as for current Megan, she's just as wicked and campy as she was back in 1984/1985 and just as obsessed. I always considered Billie Reed to be Megan-lite, just as obsessed with BO, and bitter toward Hope, but had pangs of conscious, though usually after the fact of her scheming ... Megan never , ever had a conscious.
  5. I'm just being a brat, I wanted him to be the spitting image of his Father, voice and all.... nothing against not having an accent, I just wanted him to epitomize his Father from looks to voice and that's on me .
  6. I enjoyed the scenes with Steve and John with Megan, she's as nuts and evil as she was in 1984-85, lol and I loved the boys oneliners to her. Blast in the past with old CK at the gym, all we needed was a cameo from an ex viper to make it complete. Trying to stay openminded with the Andrew , I wanted him to look like Shane and have an accent, so I'm trying not to nitpick lol, he took after Kim I guess. Could do without seeing Ciara walking around in her lingerie, but that's me nitpicking again. lol I Know where they are going with this and I'm liking it and it make sense in the DOOL sense of the word, and I knew it before the show even aired... blame it on the creative writing classes I've took and from years of watching soaps . I'm loving Hope and BO and I know Hope isn't a favorite on this board, but she's my ride or die Queen and I love Kristian Alfonso, so I'm over the moon to see her back on my screen and Peter, oh how happy I am!
  7. I'm choosing to be positive: of course I am a Bo and Hope fan, so I had all the feels today and I'm still optimistic to a potential open ending that leaves the fans happy. Loved Peter and Kristian's voiceovers ; and of course I adored the intro! I haven't watched in years, and while yes some of the production values are as someone said dollar store, I'm going to enjoy the heck out of seeing Bo fume from the great beyond Megan Hathaway DiMera, was Bo's high school sweetheart ( he did not know she was a Dimera) she came on in 1984 and the Prism storyline took shape as, Hope was forced to marry Larry Welch to save Bo and her family, and it all revolved around the 3 prisms that were supposed to save Stefano from a brain tumor, they wanted Larry in office and also away to keep Hope away from Bo, but with the Help of Mrs. Horton, Howie, Eugene, and Abe, Bo and Hope were back together and working with their friends to get the prisms. Shane came in during this time as Hope's butler who was working for Maxwell Hathaway (but he was undercover for the ISA). Megan met her demise (or so we assumed) when Larry pushed her into a wall and she supposedly died from a blow to her head, he then placed her in the hot tub that Megan had rigged to electrocute Hope.
  8. In the 80's and 90's there were some storylines that I'm quite sure were dropped for Bo and Hope , the first one being that I believe that in 1985 Brother Francis the Monk that rescued Hope was supposed to end up more of a romantic rival for Bo, showing the stark contrast of the Typical "Safe" good guy and the Rebellious Hothead Bad Boy.. They made a point of having Hope go see Father Francis after the rescue and she knew his feelings for her were real, but then after that, they shared one more scene at Melissa's Bridal Shower before they never shared scenes again . Also I believe Britta was originally written as a brunette and was going to be more of a rival for Bo's affections than what transpired, once Steven Nichols was signed on officially , I believe they rewrote it as a young Bo Brady being seduced by the older Britta and duped into doing her dirty work for the KGB and then tied Roman "The Pawn" into it. In the 90's, I also think they laying the groundwork for it to be revealed that Hope had gotten pregnant before the explosion on the COD and there was a child. I would have much rather watched this storyline playout, than the dreck of Swamp Baby Chelsea. All in all, I'm glad that Bo and Hope were devoted to one another in the 80's, they both were jealous of anyone else honing in on their territory, but they remained a solid couple.
  9. One of my absolute favorite Hope Williams Brady moments was in 1984 when they had been rescued from the Island and she found out that Larry had won he Governorship on a Sympathy vote (her presumed death) adding Fuel to the fire is Megan Hathaway arriving at the airport to claim ownership of Bo... Cut to Hope making way to the press conference which Larry planned to welcome his wife back, , but Hope instead uses the moment to unleash the truth and exposes all the lies and threats that had been going on for months. Score 1 for the good guys, it finishes with Megan's open threat to Hope that she will pay for what she's done and Hope throwing the threat right back in her face . Good times
  10. I'll try to imbed the pic when I get home from work. It's a really cute picture.
  11. I know KA recently had a reunion with Bill and Susan , which always makes this Williams/Horton family fan happy :) But other than that I haven't heard a thing
  12. Worth mentioning: in 86/87 DOOL had Eugene Bradford invent a time machine, and supposedly he went off to another dimension and left his wife Calliope in Salem solo, until she left the show. Sorry I talk about the history of DOOL, I can't help myself, it was my favorite time on the show .
