Misplaced family loyalty. Cause Megan asked, even though he readily admits he hates what she did to Kate. Still makes no sense.

No, Eli was throwing out a hypothetical if it was her. Lol, the "fish" comment was a throwback to Kate on the boat gutting fish. Not a crude joke about female BO.

I don't believe this!!! There is no way he makes more money than Drake H or some of the other veterans. I believe for his age bracket or with a lot of the younger cast, sure. He may have even got a nice bump in pay to come and play Alex. No way he makes more than the top veterans on the show.

Yeah, we've been discussing it in the current topics thread. His scenes with James were so sweet. Hoping Jerry swings by the Pub and has an interaction with Kate. Their scenes were always so heartfelt when he was young.

I actually liked the character I just didn't like the storylines they put her in. The whole immigration thing with Jack and Eve as the villains was too over the top. Just as she was revealed as Melinda's daughter not sister they prematurely killed her off. I would of loved to see Tina Huang (Melinda) explore that storyline.

No worries, actually Reno Nevada and Lake Tahoe are near each other. Before Kyle announced the job he posted about moving to Tahoe. He probably chose to live in Tahoe to be near Izzy and commute to Reno for work as opposed to getting a place directly in Reno.

Melinda's daughter was Haley. She was on the show years ago. She was involved with both Tripp and JJ. Kristen killed her the night Rachel was born, albeit somewhat accidentally. I don't believe we ever saw an ex husband.

Kate was referencing the JJ/Theo shooting. At the time Kate asked Theo to do some corporate espionage stuff for Dimera, considering his background in the tech field. At the time she didn't know it would be dangerous or harmful. But it did lead to one of my all time favorite Kate and Theo scenes. When she went to his bedside racked with guilt. Theo said she didn't need forgiveness, that he loved her, and that he would always consider her as one of his grandmothers. Hopefully we get a scene of Terrell going to the pub and running into Kate. Their scenes were always so heartfelt and poignant when he was a child.

His new news gig is in Lake Tahoe, northern California. Also Ari, Shawn, and Izzy (his and Ari's daughter) split their time in LA and Lake Tahoe. That may have had something to do with his decision.

Omg so nice to see Terrell (original child Theo) back playing Theo, albeit a fake one. Those scenes with him and James were so meta and conveyed so much history. Bravo Days for pulling that off. Now let's get Lauren Bowles back as a new character. Speaking of history, so nice to see Theo and Kate together!!! They were so close when he was young and she was his dominant grandparent. I always love when they get to share scenes together. Really great episode.

Yes, unfortunately the whole Days publicity department was let go. Really nice women. Publicity is a vital part of any heavily casted show. Most publicists, their work is done behind the scenes and not referenced or celebrated. If merging with Peacock's general publicity department, I hope they value the relationships that have been established and continue them in a positive light.

Yes, the real Princess Gina died on her wedding day to Bo. It was when she was trying to kill Shawn D because he was on to her. I believe they both went over the ledge of the Penthouse Grill. Shawn hung from the ledge when she went over I believe. At the time Bo didn’t know she was Princess Gina. He blamed Stefano thinking that Hope was just out of it because of all the brainwashing he did to her. After leaving the morgue, he went to Victor and asked him to kill Stefano.

Nicole keeps referencing Holly's conception because surrogacy was their 2nd option. Nicole intended to carry Holly originally but was told she wouldn't be successful. So Holly would be the last time Nicole looked into/explored carrying a child.

She had two. Both were when she was married to EJ. The first miscarriage lead to the Sydney kidnapping storyline. The 2nd one was when EJ/Sami had an affair. Nicole discovered she was pregnant right after the reveal. This is when her and Rafe teamed up and became friends as the jilted spouses at the time. Chloe was a surrogate for Nicole and Daniel, she birthed Holly.

Kristian played the following characters; Hope Williams Brady Gina (Horton): This is who Hope lived as during the 5 missing years. She is an alter of Hope. Gina lived w/ Celeste at Maison Blanche. She had amnesia for many years. Once returned to Salem she actually lived as Gina Horton and became best friends w/ Billie. Princess Gina: During the 5 missing years Stefano would take Gina and brainwash her further to make her think she was Princess Gina Von Umberg. Gina Von Umberg: The real Princess Gina, mother of Greta. Several years older than Hope. Revealed later in the storyline to be alive. Stefano kept her captive and replaced her w/ Hope during the 5yrs. Once she escaped, she locked up Hope and Stefano, had plastic surgery to appear younger and took over Hope's life. She did this to be close to Greta and John. She actually got over Jon and fell in love w/ Bo. She is the one who shot Shawn D on her wedding day. So Hope essentially had two alters; Gina and Princess Gina. Then Kristian eventually played the real Gina Von Umberg.

I think Peter is a better fit for Dimitri, than EJ. But funny to me the accent would be the issue. All that EJ has gone thru, I wouldn't necessarily mind losing the British accent. Especially considering Dimitri lost his 5 seconds into coming on the main show.

I'm shocked that Jason would develop in this specific area. The penthouses are gorgeous, but don't match the neighborhood. Being on Hollywood Blvd is not a plus. One It's an incredible tourist trap, the noise level, the growing homeless population, for lack of a better word Hollywood Blvd is just "dirty". It's the equivalent of a penthouse in the middle of Times Square. When your spending that much money you want your surroundings to match your residence. I could understand if Hollywood Blvd was going thru a rehabilitation on the area/walk of fame,etc. Then I could understand getting in on the ground up, but that area as it is, not the best place to develop luxury penthouses to sell.

I remembered the storyline wrong, my sincere apologies!!! I'm pretty sure Nicole was raped by her father Paul Mendez. Jasper who plays Colin was up for the role of Johnny Dimera. It was between him and Carson.

Harris is from Salem. He was on the show as a teenager. He used to date Eve. Really good week. One thing that stood out. Did anyone notice Jada's cryptic line about abuse? When Talia was denying Colin would ever hit her Jada made the point that "You and I both know there are other kinds of abuse" I don't think they would touch Marcus's legacy, but I wonder if we will get an emotionally abusive mother storyline with the sisters. Paging Victoria Rowell!!!!!

I don't think Amanza sold any homes this season, or at least they didn't highlight it. I know last year they talked about her running all the staging of their Concierge services. Which was a great idea with her interior design background. She probably does more of that then actually selling real estate.

Did I miss something, why do people think Dimitri would be Bo's son? If he is a "Von whatever" we already know his father is a relative of Frankie and Carly's, and now we know Megan is his mom. I wasn't sure what purpose his character would serve but I will admit I like the reveal of him as Megan's son. I wasn't looking for any new male Dimeras, but at least he is a grandchild and seems to take more pride in being a "Von L" than a Dimera which I like. Unlike Stefan, John, and Brady who don't acknowledge being Alamains.

This is the Susan I wished they would get back too ( I personally think Susan is alive). As kooky as Susan is, she was always incredibly savvy and had great instincts about people. Truth be told whenever it was Susan vs Kristen, Susan always won and outsmarted Kristen. I think Stacy does try to infuse a bit of that in her performance, I just wish the writing would support it more.

John is still an Alamain, the various retcons only effect his birth parents not his adoptive ones, Philomena and Leopold. Not that the show acknowledges it anymore. Hell during the Stefan/Brady/Chloe triangle we didn't even have Brady and Stefan acknowledge that their cousins.

I don't think the photo means Tamra is back, although I wouldn't mind it. I just assumed she attended the going away party.

It should be fine for the time being. They tape six months in advance and the scripts I believe are 6 weeks out from that. So they are about 7-8 months ahead in the writing.
