A pairing I could go for is Theresa & Chad, those two can cause hell over Salem and had is the type of man that Theresa is attracted to, has money, doesn't care what people think about him and a huge upgrade from Brady for her. Even if Paul was straight I couldn't see Theresa with him. Theresa and JJ would have been cute together too but she flat out used him.

 

Jar Jar and the end of a shotgun, perfect match. That'll be a random pairing I would fully support 100%.

Good for you, Marlena, being so cold to Nicole and letting her know you're not okay with her lying to Eric AND warning her to not hurt Brady.  I mean, the NERVE of Nicole to hurt your baby boy by not

It's infuriating how many characters have to suffer because they're related to or are friends/enemies of the sainted Hortons - Brady, Melanie, JJ, Theresa, Eve, Ann, Dan. If Abifail and racoon Jen were killed and Maggie was locked in the attic the whole show would improve.

JS did say he felt the core of who EJ was supposed to be was completely ruined by the cheating SL.  That EJ wouldn't have risked losing Sami and the children that way.  JS considers EJ to be in love with Sami.  I still think it's obsession.  JS also said EJ became dumber and dumber over time, and EJ never knowing what Stefano or anyone else was up to was stupid since EJ was supposed to be a smart guy.  JS said he has no interest or intentions to return to Days.  I can understand his point of view.  Playing a villain or grey character would be fun.  Playing a sleazy dumbass who can't keep his pants zip, not so much.

 

They need more proactive interesting characters on the show.  Good, bad, in between, whatever.  They need to have characters do things, which makes sense for the character in question, and stop with all the endless conversations that go nowhere.

I'm ready for a SORASed JT to show up and ignite some excitement into the boring teen scene of JJ, Paige,and company.  Bonus points if he connects with Hope and Abe. It would be nice to have another Dimera in that age group around.  We are down to Chad, Theo, and wherever Benjy's child is.

 

Well, JT has fetal alcohol syndrome, so unless they retconned that, he wouldn't really be a part of the scene.

True, I completely forgot about that.  They could also retcon it, Days has certainly done worse. I also forgot that JT isn't really a Dimera.  Marlo was Rolf's niece and not Stefano's, that was just her cover to persuade Lexi. I don't know if the truth about Marlo ever came out, so if JT did return I could see Stefano keeping up the lie if he thought he could use JT against Hope, Jon, and Abe.

I haven't watched the show in weeks.  It started as a short break to clear my head (I was watching classic Doctor Who episodes, then The Comeback) but I haven't read any spoilers that have drawn me back.  I have missed reading your thoughts and opinions, though.  

 

Sounds like the show isn't in any better shape than when I left.

Is Teresa's pregnancy going to be a dropped storyline now that Kristen isn't on the show anymore?

I'm still trying to understand how the embryo could be removed from Teresa and put into Kristen's body? What about the intervening period where the embryo is outside anybody's body? And can the embryo adapt to Kristen's body after being in Teresa's? My brain cells are dying...

I don't think you're supposed to be thinking that hard about it, I don't think that the writers did either. Logic is not meant to be applied here.

The storyline is not dropped per se, but I think Theresa is supposed to try to move on while Brady moves on with Melanie. Perhaps Melanie saves the day and reunites Theresa with her baby, just like Papa Dan would. I think Theresa is still going to keep thinking about Brady and the baby and what could have been while Brady will just be over it and on top of Melanie before you can snap your fingers. To be fair, it always was less real for him.

I do think that when Kritter comes back, it's going to feel a little crowded. Imagine Kritter, JT and MelaME all vying for a piece of Little Brady-and I'm not talking about the baby!

With Melame feeling awkward around Brady, they seem to be setting Melanie and Brady up as the star-crossed lovers, with Theresa as the interloper. No way will this show allow Melanie to prop JT.

I that sense, it feels reminiscent of Dannifer and Chloe. Parker was not always Dan's child except when they wanted to use him as a device to cause angst for Dannifer. Chloe and Dan had had an established relationship, but they had to make way for the great love that is Dannifer.

I guess when the baby reveal comes along, Brady will feel obligated to be with Theresa and poor MelaME will be crushed. I would rather have seen Melanie and Abby duke it out over Chad, and Melanie and Brady remain friends. It's way too early to be trying to make Melanie and Brady epic, but with them having been friends for a long time and the family connections you know it's coming.

I think it limits Melanie's potential pairings as she hasn't even got around to dating Chad or Ben yet and now she seems to be at risk of being shackled to Brady in what I suspect will become a Triangle of Doom.

I wish Theresa was not going to have a baby with Brady because you just know they're gonna make her desperate like Chloe. And then Abigail will be chipping in in the background. Theresa should go off and be awesome with Chad.

In the olden days, Theresa would've started having memories and/or dreams of the embryo-napping by now, and would be trying to enlist Brady or Eve or some unlikely ally to help her track down Kristen and her baby. They don't even have to do exotic location shoots like in the long ago past, hell, I'd settle for something along the lines of Nicole and Daniel chasing Chyka around. But no, I'm already resigning myself to the fact that when Baby Donovan appears, it will be all about Brady and Melanie and not, you know, the woman who was violated in order for Kristen to...do whatever it is Kristen is trying to do.

When Melanie and Brady find the baby, the show will probably make Teresa seem crazy for actually wanting her baby back.

 

I'm not sure I get the point of Brady and Melanie. They have a brother-sister vibe going on. I think I saw more sexual chemistry between Chad and Melanie, but I suppose that's not going to happen because Melanie thinks Chad is evil.

 

The current incarnation of Brady sure gets a lot of pairings. How long has he been on the show? Even if you don't count the number of pairings the other Brady had (i.e Chloe),  It seems like the current version of Brady has had the number of pairings that ranks up there with Sami, but she was on the show for 20 years. I'm waiting for Abigail to call him out for the number of notches he has on his bed post, but I don't think she will.

Tammy Sue is so clueless about Chadsworth being a bad dude. I can't wait for that big reveal. And when she finds out about Clyde's donation.

Rafe getting kicked off the force is a long time coming. He is completely pointless, but I suspect that someone else besides Chad might have been behind the anonymous letter. Either way, there's got to be more to this than Rafe getting Jobseeker's Allowance.

More Melanie propping in the Gabi scenes. I can just picture her as Ari's second godmother.

More pointless scenes of Abby and her plastic mannequin.

Sorry Sonny, I can't condone you cleaning out TWO bank accounts. Sneasel is right, how are you supposed to eat with both accounts at zero?

I never thought Sonny would play the trump card that he has contributed more to the accounts than Will. One of the things I love about Sonny is his open heart and his generosity.

It was his choice to invite Gabi, Will and Sonny to live in his apartment and to pay the majority of the bills. Sonny knew Will and Gabi were studying, and now that Will as graduated he is contributing what he can. Plenty of people have supported spouses while they were in residency programmes and in law school, etc.

Good for Will pointing out that him contributing for a short while doesn't mean he doesn't get a say at all. My parents are married in community of property and my mom gave up her job to look after us kids. If you told her she has no say because she doesn't bring anything in, you would not hear the end of it.

I did like that Sneasel wants to talk things through and said that he has faith in Sonny.

I really did not expect Paul to not be able to pitch already. Where's the drama in him being outed? He can just come out now.

My initial spec was that Will outs Paul and he loses his baseball career while gaining Sonny and that him losing his beloved career against his will would be the sticking point between them.

Now, it looks like Scenario Two is in play: Paul cannot pitch anymore so he has nothing to lose and makes a play for Sonny.

I still think Paul is not going to be out and proud overnight because of his conservative family even though he doesn't have to worry about his career.

I'm calling it now: Paul is going to lie to Sonny and tell him that he wants him more than his baseball career(Paul doesn't even want his agent to know the truth about his shoulder). Sonny will be flattered and will think he finally got what he always wanted from Paul. Like a fool, Sonny will ditch Will and Ari, only to find out later that Paul's career was already over. Sneasel coming back from LA because he was fired is going to look like small potatoes after that.

How convenient that this scenario makes Sonny and especially Paul bad guys and poor sad Will the victim! ;)

This potential Melane/Brady pairing is so random. They've been platonic friends for several years but now all of a sudden they develop romantic feelings out of nowhere? It would make more sense for her and Chad to reconnect and then for Abifail, as usual, to decide she wants him.

Couldn't agree more.  Melanie and Brady have always had a big brother/little sister relationship that even I can admit has been an endearing part of each ones character, even when I wasn't crazy about either one of them. I would rather they keep them platonic, besides didn't we just have this storyline with two members of Maggie's "family" dating. I don't want a repeat of Dannifer. I long for the Days when men and women on this show could be platonic friends.  We need old school Billie/Tony, Sami/Jack, even recent Rafe/Nicole.

I knew Sonny was going to being up the fact that he contributed most of the money to their bank accounts. He knew what he was getting when he decided to marry jobless Will and let his baby mama move in so he doesn't get to bring that up now. And it's not like he HAD to drain both accounts, his parents offered him money but he insists on making things difficult for himself. I actually feel like Will dropped the issue way too easily. Sonny took ALL of their money. That's huge. Btw, has Sonny ever considered the possibility that the second club would be more successful if he didn't let the dumbass plastic mannequin run it?

 

Why is the plastic mannequin talking about the Dimeria's like he knows anything about them or has a history with them? STFU. And Abifail didn't seem to have a problem with the Dimeria's when she was doing the slip and slide on Chad and EJ's dick. These two rodents need to be exterminated.

 

I thought the Melanie and Gabi scenes were nice. The writers need to be consistent, though. If Melanie can forgive Gabi for almost getting her killed then she can get over all of the stuff Theresa has done.

 

Kate looks so pathetic. How are you going to insult Jordan when you're having sex with a dirty hillbilly.

 

I laughed when Paul started crying.

Melanie needs to replace Abifail as Ari's godmother.

Agree about Ben acting like he knows the DiMera's. I keep mentioning manufacturing the beef with the DiMera's with the newbies. It's funny you compared Ben and Abby to rats because Abby reminds me of Ratatouile the cartoon character with her exaggerated features.

I think Will dropped the subject too easily too and somehow I don't think hypocrite Sonny would have dropped it quite so easily if the roles were reversed. Just look how he behaved over the homecoming secret.

I also laughed when Paul cried, just because it reminded me of Nathan's Ugly Cry when Melanie dumped him the last time she was on (seriously, Google a pic, it's worth it). And I really doubt that Paul is going to tell Will the reporter that he's crying because his career is in the toilet.

Writers just insist on sticking Toothy everywhere don't they? Toothy just interacted with the whole damn cast with the exception of Kate all within the short time that she's been back on screen. I say keep Kate away from her unless Kate is going to poison her food. WTF was up with that outfit that she just yanked off the curtain rod and the awful ass hair. Even in prison and little makeup on Gabi looks 100x better than Toothy with makeup and allegedly put together.

 

Oh look Itchy & Scratchy are back in bed with more wildebeest sex. All they do is fuck. Can't they find something else to do like....read a book, oh wait Jar Jar tried reading a book on Christmas and sounded like a wounded Jar Jar, that species I tell ya.

 

See this is exactly why I can't stand Sneasel, he's always minimizing Sonny's job like it don't mean shit, first calling him a glorified barista, and acting like the expansion is nothing, and then today saying he got lucky in TBD, not that Sonny's hard work didn't help make the club successful.

 

I already hate Rafe's firing, fired over Toothy. Whatever, already disinterested. Writers working extra overtime to make Toothy in Gretchen Weiners words, "So Fetch", but as Regina George so adequately put it, "Stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen." That's exactly what Toothy is, she's not going to be the IT girl

Not as fast as the remaining ones in the writers' room ...

I'd think Sonny would be entitled to point out, though not to make a big song and dance out of, his original contribution to their finances; I dunno, maybe Salem is in a community property state? Whatevs. It's too late to make me care about the Sneasel's state of "mind" now.

I think the only reason we got a new episode on Christmas is because Days has technically been an episode behind since they were nationally preempted for some breaking news (can't even recall what it was. Ferguson??) a while back. 

 

I was focused on the weirdest thing during that Horton get together. I couldn't take my eyes off of that awful looking bowl of pink punch. WTF kind of punch was that anyway? Looked like pepto bismal. Well, seeing how Abby, Julie, Doug, Jen, Mel and various other annoying characters were all in the same room that was probably a wise preventive measure.

 

Jen and that struggle ponytail/braid - Girl no!!

 

Such a minor thing but it drives me nuts to see characters in short sleeves and backless dresses in the dead of winter in the midwest, even if they are indoors.

 

Doug and Julie always make me uneasy. They always seem like they are on the verge of breaking out into a song and dance routine complete with a soft shoe routine and jazz fingers. They are both so damn extra. Like 2 ex-vaudevillians that haven't realized that the curtain came & stayed down 40 years ago.

 

I think Paul is shaping up to be a great casting decision. I am not entirely sure about the direction of the story but he has been solid and his scene with Dan today clinched it for me. He does anger well which I think a lot of the younger set usually don't get right. I too didn't expect the you will never pitch again angle to be played. Seemed like there would be more bang for the buck if he was actually in the major leagues or about to sign when he either was outed or came out. 

 

I can't take Theresa mooning after that lug. Something must be wrong with me because I didn't want to vom at Brady and Mel being a potential couple. I don't hate it - yet!

 

I just don't get why Brady is getting so much story and so much tail. 

 

Selena is playing it so cagey whenever anyone mentions what she has been up to since Africa. Hmmm...

 

LOL when Roman said to Rafe that he could see from the expression on Rafe's face that the letter was true. So good to know that those that have been incapable of facial expression for a decade are still able to do that. I rolled my frigging eyes at Rafe being fired. The Brady police department is just ridiculous. They couldn't catch a criminal if he walked in, handcuffed himself to a radiator and confessed. They are shady as hell themselves and now they want to get righteous?

 

How is it that Gabi, who is supposed to be in prison looks better than Melanie? I've never been a huge Gabi fan but damn have I missed her perfect tresses. I don't know what the show is thinking about with regards to Mel's styling. She is styled like a cocktail waitress from an 80's mafia hangout. 

 

How nice that Show allowed Nicole to make cookies successfully.  They don't let her get much right.  Time for that to change too.

That was actually one of the most refreshing things that happened this week. At one point, it seemed liked no female character under the age of 40 was allowed to know how to cook. It all somehow had to result in hilarious (but actually not) hi-jinks and unwise cracks about the character's lack of cooking skills. I particularly remember the running gag about Sami's bad cooking. Plus I seem to particularly recall a sad attempt by Mel to bake during the holidays in Maggie's old kitchen that ended badly. 

 

Why is the wardrobe of this version of Will so freaking ugly?

 

It is just tight ugly vest, after tight ugly vest over an impossibly even uglier shirt.

Chad and Theresa would have been great together so that will never happen, or if it does, Corday and the idiot writers will manage to ruin it right out of the gate.

So much word to this. The show has to have Chad lust after and long for a 'good woman' that hates his gangster life and family. Days writing is built upon lazy built in, same old same old basic soap 101 tropes.

I thought the Melanie and Gabi scenes were nice. The writers need to be consistent, though. If Melanie can forgive Gabi for almost getting her killed then she can get over all of the stuff Theresa has done.

 

 

One thing was made crystal clear to me today.  I'm easy.  Verrrrrrrrrry easy.  All Show had to do to make Mel look good to me was have her interact in scenes  independent from Abigail on a day both characters are on for me to automatically feel benign to Mel's toothsome presence SIMPLY because with her onscreen, I saw less of Abigail.  It was doubly powerful because Mel was in her scene with Gabi - someone who usually makes my face ache just looking at her - and both characters seemed like a pleasant change.

 

Meanwhile, at Mannequin Manor, just back from a run, Abigail and Ollie once again giggle about sex and make uncomfortable faces like they are REAL people and not cheap knockoffs, and then start dissing.....

Why is the plastic mannequin talking about the Dimeria's like he knows anything about them or has a history with them? STFU. And Abifail didn't seem to have a problem with the Dimeria's when she was doing the slip and slide on Chad and EJ's dick. These two rodents need to be exterminated..

 

Not only does Dudley Dumbdick start dissing Chad again, he starts talking about the Dimera clan as if he has a clue.  Ollie has NO clue.  All he has is case of jealousy that the Dimera brothers got to go where no man had gone before, a place no-one has returned from with their mind or body intact.  Ollie had better worry.  He's going to start seeing that tunnel and bright light before long, in the middle of his sexcapades with Abigail.  When the fog clears, when the ecstasy of their reptilian love wears off and he sees that his lady love bears a striking resemblance to Smurfette, maybe he'll start to tone down his judgement about Chad.

And why is Abigail so down on him?  Is it still because he won her Golden Hoohaw medal by lying?  Does she still think she was THAT special?

Chad really hasn't been the Big Bad yet much at all.  Other than beating up Nick and his inexplicable desire to make love to Abigail he's been pretty harmless.  And all this stuff about how "he's a Dimera", "Dimeras always get what they want" - so if that logic holds up, then I guess JJ is right to worry about being the son of a rapist?  

Nah, didn't think so, Show.  Of course we all know that Chad will do something the good folks of Salem will find reprehensible.  Yet I have the feeling that most of us will wish he'd done more.

 

Paul is interesting, hot, charismatic, and sparks on-screen.

 

I agree.  His performance with Dirty Dan was smooth and well done, while Dan delivered his lines and walked around in his usual "my thong is riding up my crack" lack of subtlety.  And then with Will, I thought he was just as good.  And - heresy here - I even thought Sneasel approached being okay as well.  It won't last, and I might have been basking in the afterglow of Abigail not eating the show, but still I saw something better from him than usual.

 

I'm appreciating the difficulty between Sneasel and Sonny right now, and I'm liking that Sonny isn't behaving like his usual saint.  Sonny needs to have some human frailty, some failings, some vulnerabilities, I think, to really flesh him out.  Although the money issue is big, in reality they both can go to their families without too much trouble.  A little embarrassment, maybe, but even Victor wouldn't turn them down if they needed money to live on.  So I can't get too worked up about the actual money.  What I do think is more threatening is how both of them are keeping more and more things to themselves, and how both of them are storing up their resentments.  That's the real mistakes between people that can lead to disaster.  And after today, I wonder exactly WHICH one will end up in Paul's bed?  Or at least in his arms.......I think it could be Will, easily enough.

 

That was actually one of the most refreshing things that happened this week. At one point, it seemed liked no female character under the age of 40 was allowed to know how to cook. It all somehow had to result in hilarious (but actually not) hi-jinks and unwise cracks about the character's lack of cooking skills. I particularly remember the running gag about Sami's bad cooking. Plus I seem to particularly recall a sad attempt by Mel to bake during the holidays in Maggie's old kitchen that ended badly. 

 

I'm so glad you brought that up.  It's bugged me for years that there was this weird pride that a woman had no skills in the kitchen, unless they were old style grandmothers or were Maeve Ryan on Ryan's Hope.  For all others we were supposed to cheer them because all they could whip up in the kitchen were scrambled eggs.  Because the Shows seemed to think that women's equality could only be expressed by incompetence in  the kitchen and contempt for those abilities.

Only old ladies could both cook and be appreciated for it.  

Not that I would ever want to eat ANYTHING some of these characters had their dirty mitts on...

 

But Abigail made "Gran's cupcakes" when she was boinking EJ, and didn't Kayla and Jen make those donuts that JJ dosed with pot?

 

I shudder to think what Abigail used to grease the pans.................And I bet that Jenn slipped some eye of newt and dried bat in those donuts.  

 

How funny.  I ended this post and then remembered that one of the major plotlines today was Rafe losing his job.  I had trouble paying attention, although I DID notice that Roman has been to the Hair Club for Men since we last  saw him and his new rug is MUCH better than the old one.  Still needs to work on those denture strips, though..

OH!  Right, Rafe got fired!  About time is right.  I'm not worried about Rafe getting a job, though.  There must be multiple nail salons that would snap him up in a heartbeat.  Or...a paper route!  He could do a paper route......although I wouldn't want him delivering mine......hmmmm.....maybe the Salem PD was the perfect fit for him.   After all, smarts have never been considered important, or indeed, even desired.  

Funny that Roman is the one getting all upset about it, considering how many things he's overlooked when it comes to going after the Dimeras.  

 

I only hope Rafe isn't forced to sell his hair to pay the rent.

I have been wracking my brain for weeks about who Bollie reminds me of.  Finally I have it. 

 

There is a Steven Speilberg movie from several years ago --  "AI" -- with a character "Gigolo Joe" played by Jude Law  (when he was oh so pretty).  The character is a robot, but very, very human-like.  Gigolo Joe was so perfect --  smooth, tanned poreless skin, plucked and hairless body, arched eyebrows.  Never a hair out of place. a plastic mannequin as it were.

 

Bollie is DOOL's Gigolo Joe.

Oh yeah, only Abigail was supposed to know how to make the best cupcakes in town. Call me cynical, but that chick does not look like she goes anywhere near a stove. (Not because she doesn't fit the stereotype of a baker or a cook with her Kim Kardashian hair and make-up, but because Abigail seems pretty incompetent at everything, including giving art history lessons, not having the self-control to not have sex inside hospital closets while on the job, and keeping anonymous donors secret).

EJ was a bad father for letting the kids eat Abifail's nasty stale cookies. One of them could have choked.

 

It's about time Rafe got fired. but Roman needed to tone it down a little. The Brady & Abe Police Department has been incompetent and corrupt for quite some time now. How many people have they helped get away with crimes?

Since when does Hope know that Rafe covered for Gabi? Was that because of the initial confession from Nick's murder?

In any case, I don't understand Aiden saying that the person who sent the letter is relevant-Rafe did cover up the crime. And how is an outright confession going to make things worse? It's a fact- there's nothing to debate.

Abby is so annoying butting into Chad and Jordan's relationship. If Ben wasn't made of plastic, he would question what her real motive is.

Melanie is the same as Abby in the ego department, she's so shocked that Chad didn't mention her to Jordan. I do think Chad is starting to care for Jordan, he keeps defending her to other people. But I don't really care about Jordan since CS is leaving anyway.

I'm happy Jawn and RoboMar are getting back together. Maybe she'll have less free time to lecture Nicole because she sure forgets about her kids when John is around. I didn't like the fact that a lot happened to them, yet John just wants to forget all the problems and start fresh. The writers are obviously too lazy to write/play out those beats.

Sonny is going to get a big wake up call when he finds out that Chad is not his friend.

Color me surprised that Paul told Will that his career is over. That was not a wise move if he wants to keep it secret. He hardly knows Will.

Will was actually nice to suggest a different angle for the article. I don't think Will has the chops to be a cutthroat journalist, but it was good that he seems to have learned from the fiasco with his mom's article. From speaking to Marlena, I think Will senses that there is something more going on with Paul, so I guess I have to wait and see if he sticks to his principles.

Can I just ask: what is so bad about Will missing out on a visit with Gabi (who he saw a few days ago), so he can finish a job that pays actual money(bearing in mind his account balance is zero)?

So Paul made his big pitch to Sonny as soon as Will left his room. Sonny's response was word perfect. I am back on the Sonny train(not that I was ever really off it). As I suspected, Paul didn't tell Sonny that his career is over, but I'm glad Sonny told Paul that he's not with Will because he couldn't have Paul. I'm hoping Will gets to hear that when the time comes.

Paul only wants Sonny because his career is over. And it's really annoying to me that Paul expects Sonny to drop his husband for him (even though he said he doesn't want anything that Sonny doesn't want). Like:" we can finally be together because it's convenient for me."

I thought Chad lying about the brain tumor was common knowledge? Anyway, I'm not a fan of what they're doing with Chad. His relationships with Sami, Melanie, and Kate are kinda icy and he's screwing over Sonny. I guess the writers plan on turning him into another ostracized Dimeria.

 

The writers must be setting Kate up for a fall since she's snowed about Clyde being a rapist and keeps bitching about how terrible Jordan is.

 

Oh wow, RoboMar and Jawn are getting back together. This is exciting. I hope Eric doesn't need any motherly advice or support anytime soon.

 

Paul is a real piece of work. Why the hell would Sonny want to leave his (mostly) happy marriage so he can go back to slumming in the closet with some selfish prick.

AbiFail, "DiMera's twist their words around to get what they want." Is this bitch serious? Like how she twisted the story around about EJ seducing her and not taking any responsibility for her actions. She wanted EJ,and went as far as looking up Sami's work schedule in order to get EJ's dick, so she really needs to STFU, I wish someone would bury an ax in her head and while they're at it, touch up them damn roots, her hair is looking like a used up sponge or should be placed on a damn fraggle rock muppet.

 

Jar Jar please let's not laugh at Chad saying there's nothing wrong with him or whatever she was laughing at. She's so smug and sanctimonious towards Chad, well anyone that isn't a Horton for that matter. Her continuing to laugh at him and question him like she's his damn mother, or scorned ex, when she was the one that left him. Sick of hearing her voice and thinking she knows people and their motives, just like when she thought she knew the real EJ. She's trying to make Chad out to be the scum of the earth when she had no problem dropping her panties or whatever Jar Jar's wear as undergarments and going all open sesame to him and his brother. It's just too funny how much she criticizes the DiMera name like her last name is any better or has some lavish history behind it.

 

Grimace's story still doesn't make any sense, she takes a 13 year old BOllie across states and living in a car with no air conditioned for 3 months, so had no money. Somehow able to scramble up enough to go to medical school under numerous identities and become a PT. Doesn't make any sense while you're on the run and can attend a four year college. I'm not even going to think anymore about this stupid ass backstory for Grimace.

 

Someone also needs to give Grimace a newsflash that she's working at a hospital and needs to stop being glammed. When I go to a hospital I don't see glammed up nurses, physical therapists, or doctors. Still going to work in dresses and heels I see, dumbass, I wonder what college she went to that told her that it was A-OK to wear those things to work so I make sure

 

Yes Toothy, what every woman wants to hear, some complete stranger coming up to them and saying how they were engaged to your current boyfriend. Not everyone wants to hear about past girlfriends/boyfriends. How many times did Toothy say, "I shouldn't have said anything,"? Well then how about keeping your damn teeth shut. I can't say mouth because all I see is teeth.

 

Writers are working extra overtime to make Chad look like the evilest person that ever eviled. It's rather nauseating and makes me root for him and to put all those people in his place with the exception of Kate and Sonny.

 

Wasn't Sneasel a walking demon card with Paul today. I don't care much for his advice to Paul since he can't seem to muster up any sympathy for Sonny's career and always degrading now. There would be a hitch to get Paul to stay in Salem so he can keep confessing his "love" for Sonny. If Paul wasn't didn't come off as a sleaze I would so ship Paul and Sonny. Yea, Sneasel is going to ruin Paul just like he did Sami with his trash writing.

 

Damn Dannifer Pimptress how many times you're gonna hug Toothy, everytime she sees her she just needs to hug her. Miss Pimptress is such a kiss ass, she needs to get a life.

 

Why does Kate always look fabulous? She really needs to go around Salem and giving all the ladies in Salem a makeover, cause most of the women just look so damn ridiculous.

 

Yes, let's make it happen Yawn & RoboMar, yes let's make it happen off screen for 2015 for the two of you.

I feel like Jordan is the one being set up for a fall. I hate that Abby and Melanie will be proved right.

I also forgot to add that Paul really must have a big ego if he thinks Sonny's husband is some kind of placeholder for him. I know he didn't explicitly say that, but the fact that Sonny had to clarify that point spoke volumes for me. As if it defies logic that Sonny could ever be truly happy without him.

That sales pitch Paul made reminded me of Abby trying to convince EJ that they could be together, with her eventually saying he could be with Sami and her since she was prepared to be his mistress. I'm surprised Paul didn't suggest something similar since he seems to be pretty comfortable with the secrecy aspect.

Abifail is just mad because she has to settle for plastic dick.

 

 

I tried Googling but didn't find what I was looking for.  What exactly did Chad do to Abigail and Melanie that makes them feel they need to warn Jordan about his *dark* side?

 

Gabi hired a guy name Andrew to be part of her plan to break up Melanie and Chad. Convinced that Chad would fall in love with her if he felt like he needed to protect her, Gabi made up a story about having a stalker (Gabi and Chad were both working as models for CW). Gabi hired Andrew to pretend to be her stalker and "attack" her in the town square. Andrew randomly went a little nuts and decided to kidnap Melanie and hold her hostage in his basement so he could prove himself to Gabi. Andrew held her captive for several weeks and became obsessed with her. Long story short...Andrew and Melanie ended up in the tunnels under Salem along with Gabi, Brady, and Chad (they came to rescue Melanie). The tunnel was raggedy and collapsed and trapped all of them underground. Andrew ended up dying in the hospital, but not before he threatened to expose Gabi. He died before he could but Chad overheard their conversation. Chad agreed to keep quiet (I can't remember why) and became engaged to Melanie. Melanie eventually found out the truth and broke up with him. 

 

Abifail was stringing two guys along at the same time - Chad and a guy named Cameron. Chad decided to pretend like he had a brain tumor and Cameron stepped aside so Chad could have her. Abifail ended up losing her virginity to Chad (she spent months making a big deal out of being a virgin because she's Super Good And Innocent). When Abifail found out Chad didn't really have a tumor she got mad because she willingly gave up her stank ass cooch. She likes to pretend that Chad lied to her but he really didn't - Chad only told Cameron h had a tumor, Abifail knew noting about the tumor until afterwards.

 

So basically, Melanie kinda has a legit reason to be suspicious about Chad and Abifail is just a lying nasty pathetic stank raggedy piece of garbage.

Chad and Abigail generate more chemistry and heat sparring with each other than all the love scenes that they have had with Ben and Jordan. LOL. I hope we get a heated fight that turns into passionate sex between the two. I love them in scenes together! Chad just brings her to life! It's something about Abigail and those Dimera men!

 

BF and KM play off each other very well.

 

I'm loving Clyde and Kate together. John and Marlena were so adorable today.

That triangle of Abby/Chad/Cameron still annoys me.  Chad and Cameron should of had their own storyline considering their parents past, and their relationship to one another.  Instead the whole storyline was about these two able bodied attractive men competing with one another for virginal Abby.  There wasn't even a spark to that triangle in any way.  The storyline should of been Stefano's son versus Celeste's son. Or, Cameron and Chad team up to explore their absentee parents past.  Or Cameron going after the Dimera's for Celeste choosing to be the pseudo matriarch of a mob family rather than raise him.

 

Not that I was ever that enthused about Cameron as a character but the possibilities that they could of done with him were really vast considering his history.  I would be down for bringing Cameron and Celeste back.

That's why this dude annoys me. People assumed that when we picked on Abby it was because of her gender or because Sami and EJ were involved, but I find people like this annoying even when they're not named Abigail Devereaux. I don't even like Will and I find Paul terribly presumptuous. When Sonny was falling for Will, it certainly didn't look like Will was some kind of place-holder.

 

Between Chad's terrible hair, Cameron's Jay Leno chin, and Abigail's smug-o-rama, it was so hard to pay attention to that triangle.  Now when everybody tries to say why Chad was so Dimera-like, I can't remember why because of how annoying everybody physically looked.
