Hope arrests Sami?  Seriously?  Hope stood there while Sami took her gun, smacked Rolf around, and faintly asked Sami to stop, and then after Rolf kills himself, Hope arrests Sami.  {face palm}

Losing your service weapon is the most demoralizing thing that could happen to a cop and Hope pretty much stood there and let it happen.  Though I have to admit to loving Hope's exasperation that Sami didn't realize that Dr. Rolf poisoned himself--yes Hope most people would be surprised that not only does a doctor carry cyanide capsules, but he also had no problem taking one.

I did kind of love Bonnie throwing her flowers at Brady and hitting him--good arm :):)

Adrienne was forgotten in this story. We saw Marlena fighting alongside John to defeat Hattie..

I'd say the ways she tried to alert Justin and Lucas to her being in Statesville were her having her own agency.  But really, in her current position and based on the circumstances, Adrienne didn't have much on which to go in terms of having her own agency, so her means were limited.  I can forgive that.

So, i haven't commented on Nicole's final scenes, had to get completely caught up. Thought the Eric goodbye scenes were well done. At least he didn't look like a complete doofus. He realized something was up. 

As for Brady, how many times can I call this loser a douchebag? "I don't want to do this, Nicole! You're making me 'cause you don't wuv me!" Did he seriously get a little misty? I can't stand this prick right now. 

I do hope that she comes back one day, and they let Eric and Nicole reunite. I used to be optimistic about character departure's, but with the uncertainty that surrounds the genre these days, who knows.

Does Bryan D not know how to shed real tears? He does this crying thing but doesn’t she’s tears. Isn’t that Soap Opera 101?

[Frozendiva]

Adrienne and Bonnie were certainly opposites today - Bonnie fully made up, and Adrienne sans makeup - or made to look like she was wearing no makeup.

Nice to see that this storyline is almost over. Maybe there just wasn't enough storytelling time or budget to do Adrienne being in jail any sort of justice.

Rolf certainly took the easy exit. Yeah, Hope, do arrest Sami - as your new posh position entails. I think Eli probably would have been more objective.

At least Sonny also found part of the Salem Brain and grabbed the phone away from drunk Lucas.

Brady, Bonnie was wearing high heels. She can't run that fast in them. Especially with half of her not taped up falling out of her dress. Doesn't the Kiriakis family have some sort of guard dog or security system?

But then, her being beside herself led directly to her desperately kissing Justin, which was, I would guess, the whole point of the exercise.

Was that Dattilo not shedding proper tears, or was that Lucas not actually crying, just pissing and moaning, full of the drunkard's self-pity, rather than actual grief? I'm pretty sure I've seen him produce tears before.

ETA: I thought Bonkers Black was the Kiriakis watchdog?

Another great couple of episodes!  I loved the non-wedding and Bonnie reveal scenes and I think JE has really shined in this storyline.  She is hands-down the best crier on tv and does angst like no other, all the way back to her GL Beth days, and of course as Paulina on my beloved AW, so it was so fun to see her playing camp/comedy and snotty/snide for a change and I thought she was wonderful.  I also loved her dress and thought she looked fabulous in it.  Of course I am an 80's girl and have a whole bag of shoulder pads (and banana clips) waiting for them to come back! 

Was I the only one that thought Rolf isn't really dead?  lol  I mean, he's the king of bringing back the dead, so I figure the cyanide pill he gobbled was some ploy to make it look like cyanide/dead but it's not really. 

I cannot believe how much I am fan-girling GV.  OMG he is such a heart throb and his scenes with the tantrum and then with MR were sooooo good.  I love their friendship and hope they take this storyline slow and easy and let it develop into full on romance....like how they did with super couples back in the good ole days.

Ron is killing it lately, but I am still being cautiously optimistic.  He loves camp and meta and the Bonnie sl called for it, but hopefully he has learned to rein it in since his GH days (Children of the Corn, anyone?).  Only criticism I have is the Scarlett "as God is my witness" line they had Nicole say.  That was cringeworthy to me. 

Quick question.....the day Nicole flashbacked and figured out she killed Deimos the show was partially pre-empted and I missed all of that, and never went back to look for it online.  Can someone give me a brief summary?  Did she really do it or was it another fake-out like all the others that thought they did it?  What/how did she actually do it?  Brady is the only one who knows?  TIA

Yeah, Nicole went all, "As God as my witness," which I felt was a little too on the nose. That was Carlivati being all, "Look at me," which he tends to do.

Does he? *sighs* I hope someone called him out on that or at the very least he saw the episode himself and realized he crossed the line. It was such a stupid line.

Where are Judi's eyebrows? Bonnie looks great cuz she seems to have eyebrows but then we cut to Adrienne in the prison and the eyebrows seem gone.

Do you mean to tell me Bonnie didn't squirrel away bits of Adrienne's jewelry or dome shiny household knick knacks during the course of the last few weeks? I get that she was waiting for a major payoff but stealing smaller items that would go unnoticed just to have some rainy day money would probably be the thing to do.

I'm really confused about what Bonnie's moral code is. She fell in love with Mickey and he happened to have money...or she purposefully schemed to be with Mickey so that she could live a life of luxury and then just happened to fall in love with him afterwards?

And now impersonating Adrienne when there were only two years left on her sentence? None of it makes any sense to me and it sucks because I definitely prefer Bonnie as a character and would have welcomed her to stay on the show.

Ron has made some improvements to be sure but this show has an incurable knack for writing characters into the ground well before their time. Now Dr. Rolf is dead? Is the actor who plays him determined to stay retired or something? Why not just let him escape town or leave Salem because they couldn't hold him for any specific crime? Why does everyone have to die or go to prison?

Bonnie genuinely fell in love with Mickey at the time.  Him having some money was more of a bonus.  Mickey was definitely comfortable, but if Bonnie was really a gold digger Mickey wouldn't necessarily be her target.  I actually liked Bonnie and Mickey, it was a little weird to see a much more "looser" Mickey and to his credit Mickey genuinely loved Bonnie and appreciated that she was there for him when Maggie was killed.  When Maggie came back Bonnie genuinely fought for Mickey because she did love and want to be with him.

Dr. Rolf is the master of bringing people back from the dead.  He's probably only mostly dead.

[TigerLynx]

Dr. Rolf died before, and when he showed up again and was asked about it (by Sami I believe), he said it didn't take.

LOL it didn't take

I have another question...either I missed it somewhere along the line or they didn't explain it.....when Sami was last on, Andre had her imprisoned and then she somehow escaped....they just showed Andre coming into dungeon and she was gone.  Did show ever address that either then, or when same re-appeared last week?  She saw Andre when she was at DiMera mansion and neither of them said a word about it???

Another good episode today. 

Hope after that background story about Eli and Sheila, Sheila is sticking around for a bit, and that they didn't make up that history just so Sheila would give Bonnie back the broach.  I like her. And since I'm not a bit TLC fan, I see "Sheila" not T-Bone. 

I was kinda hoping Bonnie would get away, but since the warden won't release Adrienne without Bonnie to take her place, I guess that won't happen. Interesting how both DH and JE have made their "evil" alter-egos sympathetic. 

[Silver Raven]

It's interesting that Show is at least going with the Bonnie/Adrienne story not being over, at least momentarily.  Usually soaps just wave their hands and things like this are all over.

Maybe Justin should wait till Adrienne gets out before he throws all of this stuff at her.

Oh, bullshit, Warden.  How long do you think you can keep Adrienne there after the story breaks in the press? In the newspaper Adrienne co-owns?

"Maybe he was calling, 'Give it baaaaack.'"  LOL

Interesting Eli/Sheila back story.

Was Rolf's body still lying there in the house for JJ to get his fingerprint?

T-Boz. Unless you were being facetious. Either way, I giggled. 

I was a huge TLC fan. So, it's been hard to see her as Sheila, but I think she's getting better at her lines and such, so, I'm coming around. I like it when new characters start out small and hang around for a bit before they are thrown onto the frontburner.

Hahaha. Yeah, I said I wasn't much of a fan. I know the song Waterfalls, which I see kinda made it into the show today, but I would not have been able to name or identify the members.  So, T-Bone was me trying to look like I knew what I was talking about. Clearly I don't. LOL.

I'm a Bon Jovi fan, and I was only able to "not" see Jon Bon Jovi in one of the acting roles he did, so I know how hard it is to see someone you know as a musician in an acting role.  

I think T-Boz is doing a good job, and I like that they brought her back, and would be fine if she sticks around for a while.

Sheila mentioned to Bonnie that she wanted some revenge on someone (more than likely on Eli), so I'm pretty sure that Ron has plans to have her do something to him or even to Gabi (to get at him).  So yeah, I think she's sticking around.

Also, her TLC name was T-Boz.

The Salem PD can't put out an APB on Bonnie? And forward her photo to the state police? Bonnie has no money, no clothing except for her gown.

The warden is doing his job, but once the DNA stuff comes back, he has no case. 

Dr. Rolf dead again? He must have a newer tablet. Not the brand new face recognition one, but new enough. Except for Apps, not much place to store any info.

Interesting Eli and Sheila backstory. Maybe she will stick around for a while.

It sounded to me like he said that even if the results prove Adrienne's not Bonnie, his head count problem is still their problem. Which means he doesn't understand his job -- or the U.S. Constitution, really.

Mind you, if Commissioner Cop Voice is tasking detectives to assist CSIs at a crime scene, I'm not sure she understands her job, either.

3 hours ago, Star Aristille said:

My problem isn't that it's not understandable, or even that it's entirely out of character for Adrienne, really. Just that the writing put her into that stereotypical box labelled "Damsel." The plotting could have left more effective choices open to her -- even getting through to Sonny or Lucas more fully before being cut off, for example.

She did get through to them.  The guard just took the phone away before she could say much.  And really, Lucas is more to blame for her not getting anything out than Adrienne herself is.

Yeah, not that one.  He was in a few movies, too.  One, called "Row Your Boat" was a low budget film where Jon played a homeless, ex-con.  I thought it was his best acting, and I did manage to see his character, not the "rock star" on screen. Check it out on Youtube, if you're interested.

[DisneyBoy]

Her never showing her surgery scars as proof is a pretty massive plot hole. It's just way too convenient that she was dragged off to solitary confinement for two or three weeks in a row.

[Silver Raven]

Hope is the last person who should be calling anybody out for being a hypocrite.

I guess the Eric/Brady screaming match was inevitable, but I really didn't want to see it.

Hm.  I thought they were going with Andre and Kate being closer, but today it looked more like Roman and Kate.

She had reconstructive surgery.  Probably a chance that the scars aren't visible enough.

I did like Eric punching Brady.

Brady, your behaviour is the common denominator to most of your relationships failing.

I would think that Adrienne would be taking some sort of medication after her cancer treatment. Unless she was lucky.

Chad and Abs and the chocolate chip pancakes were a bit dull, but the thought of pancakes made me hungry.

Yawnish show today. 

[Star Aristille]

I actually didn't mind the dullness of today's episode.  After several emotionally-charged episodes in a row, it was about time for a calmer one.

That said, Eric and Brady's scenes were probably the highlight for me.  Greg Vaughan and Eric Martsolf really went for it in portraying Eric and Brady's mutual rage toward each other.

I also enjoyed Chloe and Jennifer, as well as Roman and Kate.

As usual, Rafe and Hope were the weak points.

was thinking the same thing. judy must have over tweezed her eyebrows and not they won't grow back. plus they thing with age to begin with so you get that bald look if you are not careful. i envy people who make their eyebrows so natural and beautiful . i still haven't been able to perfect this. color is off, shape is off. i just give up!

Hit him again, Eric! Kick him in the nuts! Again! More more!

 

*ahem*

I've missed most of this week but caught today and found it pretty bleh. Way too much talking from Sonny and Paul. I get that Ron is trying to make us care about their relationship but there's really no point. He should just give the screen time to someone else.

The way the episode seemed to jump at the very end to Victor at the cemetery and everyone else in Memphis, I really could have used a scene of them in the jet talking about their trip, and Victor and Brady in the car headed to the cemetery. Felt like parts of the story were edited out just so we could have three scenes of the world's most boring gay couple talking about the relationship that nobody cares about for the hundredth time.

I really miss how people on this show used to have cars. How is it that green screen effects were way more expensive and impractical in the 90s than they are today, and yet the producers can't manage to rig up a car or two now? And we know they still have that jet set. Use it please. I think I just really hate it when the show randomly decides the characters can travel the world in the span of one episode. Sometimes it takes them two or three episodes to return from overseas, and sometimes it happens within two scenes. I'm also bummed out that the Memphis house looks exactly like Eric's.

Hope is unbelievably bad. I thought Ron would really try to make her a great Commish but she continues to break laws left right and center.

I will say that I am loving how her new position is driving a wedge between her and Rafe. He frankly needs to shut up and treat her like a superior officer instead of his girlfriend when they are on duty. And I'm astounded to see that there seems to be some chemistry or lingering feelings between him and Sami. I hope his unresolved emotions finally break them up.

I'm glad Eve's back, and I really didn't know who it was under the veil before it lifted, but her outfit was really weird and the pacing of the scene was very abrupt. I guess she was there to visit Paige?

I have been successfully avoiding spoilers now for weeks, and it has definitely improved my enjoyment of the show. Those of you also doing the same, stick with it!

What kind of cop is Hope? Yesterday she let Sami take her gun and then she stood behind her the whole time she was waving it around. She was BEHIND Sami. Why didn't she just put her in a choke hold or a bear hug or karate chop her in the back of the neck? Why be so passive and let Sami be in control of the whole situation?

And today she gives Sami privileged info - The address of a possibly innocent person - so Sami and her band of vigilantes could pistol whip him/her?

Commissioner Hope is the best they have??

And on a totally shallow note: Eric looks like he's wearing a toupee.

Huh? Hasn't Deimos been buried already? Is he on ice? Not dogs, feed him to the pigs.

I'm so glad Sami got out of that orange jacket.

I love how everybody is running off without being told where they're going. Or even packing.

Me too. And it's improved my enjoyment of the show too.  For example, even though I knew Eve would be back eventually, I didn't know when, so she was surprise today. I'm glad KD was well enough to be back at work, but I really don't see the need for Eve on the show. And, sadly, KD will never be Eve for me. the only Eve is Charlotte Ross.

I only caught the last half of the show today, so missed the Eric / Brady fight. 

Glad Adrienne is finally out of prison.  Did they mention Bonnie?

That must have been a quick jet ride from Salem to Memphis.  But at least they're out of the police station.

Looking forward to next week's episodes. Sweeps and all, so should be good. Hopefully.

[TigerLynx]

Why do these people even bother arguing with Sami?  In the end, they do what she wants.  Then if something goes wrong, it will be, this is all Sami's fault.  I hope the stuff in Memphis is good.

I've always assumed "Salem, USA" is somewhere between St. Louis and Springfield, IL.  If I'm somewhat close to being correct, it's probably only 4ish hours in the car to get to Memphis.  A plane would take an hour?

I think there would be scars from both the mastectomy and the reconstruction. Since her surgeries were recent enough I'd expect they'd still be pretty visible. They never go away but do fade over time. Even if the reconstruction scars were camouflaged, a doctor ought to be able to find evidence. And? Adrienne didn't say, "Hey, but my scars aren't detectable."

I want to know what wormhole Sami, John, Marlena, Sonny and Paul used for travel? And how the heck did Victor and Brady get Deimos buried so quickly -- with a headstone in place, even? Was there a caption or something that indicated a time jump? I was doing something else while I was watching, so I might have missed it.

Google tells me a flight from Chicago to Memphis is 1 hr 45 min, so I guess a flight could make it in a commercial break. ?
