Current Plots Discussion: Actually Today's Episode

[LeftPhalange]

I'm ready for this Sonny/Sparkle/Will crap to be over. Please make it stop. 

 

I don't remember Melanie and Nicole becoming friends, but whatever. Your relationship with Brady was unnecessary and your exit story is stupid, but you didn't end up dead so cheers for small victories, I guess. If you ever come back maybe you can get Chad away from Abifail. So long.

[ShadowSixx]

I know that's right that Mel and Brady goodbye didn't do anything for me because they were together for all of what 2 months give or take. So the waterworks was just a big glob of nothing. 

[ByaNose]

What happens with Paul & Will when Sonny leaves? They aren't replacing Freddie, right? Are they always going to be in triangle story with another gay man. Can't there be four gay guys who live in Salem? Probably not.

Edit to add: Will sucks!

The triangle is played out and so stupid..This must be the worst triangle in the history of daytime..Will is horrible, Sparkle is horrible and Sonny is horrible for different reasons.I just don't care..It is obvious that Tomsell are horrible together..I remember when Tom was a scab writer at one life to live during the writer's strike and he did alot of damage to the characters  in the short period that he was in charge..Ron Carlivati  the headwriter of General Hospital, till this day holds a grudge against him for what he did..I don't care for Ron, but I agreed with him..Gary Tomlin has never been good, he likes plot-driven storylines and that is bad for the daytime medium...

I like how Will was the disrespectful asshole in this marriage but keeps putting Sonny on trial. I guess if Sonny's too busy defending himself for manufactured slights he can't bring up or examine how shitty Will has been as a husband.

Classic moves Will.

I hope Sonny gets enough confidence to tell both of his pushy men to fuck off and move on.

I don't like Sparkle he reminds me of Drew from Degrassi who was also lauded for his looks and athleticism but a demanding douch bag. Or an ex I had years ago who vaguely looks like Paul and still to this day can't respect boundaries and has delusions of our reconciliation.

[kitmerlot1213]

I don't think Will realizes that Sonny can care about Paul, can still think about the good times they shared, without automatically wanting to sleep with him again.  And it's utterly unfair of Will to expect Sonny not to have feelings for the first man he was in love with--I'm sure there's a part of Will that still loves Gabi--Sonny's still caring for Paul does not mean he is going to cheat and Will is acting like Sonny has to prove his loyalty when the opposite is true.  It's Will who has to earn Sonny's trust back.

 

And correct me if I'm wrong, but Sonny didn't go looking for Paul to spill his guts too so Paul needs to relax with acting as though Sonny purposefully seeks him out to talk about his marriage.  I admit that Sonny probably shouldn't be talking to him about Will but this isn't Sonny playing two sides--he's just a man talking to what he thinks of as a friend.  Yes, it seems kind of blind but I don't think Sonny actually believes that Paul still loves him--attracted to him yes, but not in love.

[Apprentice79]

I think Will and Sonny need to talk to a therapist..Will is an idiot and he needs somebody to tell him the hard truth about himself..This is the time that Sami should have appeared and talk to her son about the dangers of following in her footsteps and what that means for Arianna...Since this is all plot-driven and not character-driven, we will not have these types of conversations...

 

Will needs to take responsibility for his life, he told Sonny that he was bored with their life and left Sonny to go to California, ignored him while he was over there. He came back to Salem, ignored him some more,while chasing the scoop about Paul. Then he slept with him...He has yet to show any remorse for that...He is trying to guilt Sonny for having loved somebody else before he even knew him..That is so absurd..Sonny has never been a priority for Will, whereas Sonny rearranged his  whole life to accommodate Will, Arianna and his baby mama Gabi. All the things that Adrenne predicted back when Chandler was playing Will came true....She told Will that he would break her son's heart...Sometimes mothers do know best...

I don't find the Paul/Sonny/Will triangle to be awful at all.  I'm quite entertained.  I much prefer this to endless rounds of Daniel and Nicole Should We Be Together and Daniel and Jennifer Will We Be Together and Serena and that fucking elephant.

[TigerLynx]

If Sami had put in an appearance during this SL, it would have resulted in Will saying, "This is all your fault.  I am just like you."

[Apprentice79]

I  think lucas could have been the best person to talk to Will about his infidelity before he started his own affair with Adrienne...I remember how Will was upset when Chloe cheated on Lucas with Daniel....Let's not forget how Will treated Sami like scum, when she cheated on Rafe with EJ....Sami and Lucas would never cheat...Sami always had a line and that was the one thing that she would not do..Even Allison Sweeney who plays her, thinks the same way..

I agree, even at it's most repetitive, I don't forward past Paulson/Wilson

[TigerLynx]

Sami and Lucas would never cheat

 

 

I agree.  The writers don't care about core character traits.  Just like they didn't care about Lumi, Sami, Lucas, or their children when they ripped Lumi apart in 2008.  During her 22 years on the show, the only time Alison Sweeney voiced doubts about what the writers were having Sami do was when Sami cheated on Rafe, shot EJ in the head, and was flip flopping around between Rafe, Lucas, and EJ in 2012.

 

If my choice of SLs to watch is between Sneasel/Sonny/Sparkle, Brady/Theresa/Melanie, Kate/Clyde, or Nicole/Daniel/Eric/Serena/stupid freaking elephant/diamonds, I still chose Kate, Sonny, and Ari go to California to be with Sami on a new show.

[Apprentice79]

I agree with your post Tigerlynx...

[Rick Kitchen]

 

I think Will and Sonny need to talk to a therapist

 

They had an appointment scheduled with a therapist, and Will blew it off.

 

Hooray to Sonny for calling Will out for being the one who cheated.

 

All the diamonds have been counted and verified?  Then why is there one hiding in Daniel's sofa cushions?

 

if Marlena is so shaky after all that happened in Italy, why was it when she first came back to town, the first thing she asked of John was how is Paul?

 

Jeez, Nicole not just talking to herself, but yelling at herself.

 

If they can't have Paul with his shirt off, they have Xander with his shirt off.

 

"Will, you can trust Clyde."  Jeez, Kate, how stupid are you? And why is Will giving Clyde his notes from Poplar Bluff?

 

"Victor won't say a word as long as you're there as my date."  You don't know Victor very well, do you, Xander?

[boes]

Melanie and Nicole like each other? Since when? Maybe I'm projecting but I felt AZ looked as confused as me watching the scene...

 

A while back Nicole googled something for Mel, pretty much all it was, then Mel was all "you are SO good for my Dad I can see he loves you" and Nicole embarrassed herself AGAIN by being grateful to Mel, then Douchey Dan got mad at Nicole because she didn't tell him Mel asked her not to tell her dad.....bored yet, because I am and I bet AZ was too.....long story short, yep, they're buds now.

 

If Mel worked at the hospital I worked at, she'd be on the "do not rehire" list after giving LESS THAN ONE DAYS NOTICE before quitting and it would not matter that she did it so rich entitled jerk didn't have to move his buttcheeks to be around his kid.  Terrible work ethic, worthy of a Horton.

 

I'm hoping that on her first class travels across Europe, all expenses paid by mommy and daddy, somebody abducts, her, cuts her hair, has her jaw fixed and forces her to take elocution classes.

I was just arriving to post pretty much the same thing, Rick K, so I'll just applaud yours : )

 

Who dressed Serena and Nicole today? They look ridiculous for working women (except newscasters, apparently). 

 

I say this as steadfast Melanie fan, but this long goodbye was kind of tiring.

I guess I understand Brady being upset/sad that Melanie is leaving because it means their relationship is over, and I even get why Maxine would be sad, but why were Maggie and Dan acting like that? Somebody should tell them that they can go visit Melanie anytime they want. 

[2222222222222222]

I really can't take Will seriously as a journalist with his Grandma behind him telling him what to answer from his interviewee, DOOL.

[TigerLynx]

Naggie and Dirty Dan can go with Melanie, I'm all for keeping that family together far far way from Salem.

 

One thing I enjoyed about 2012 was Sami getting to tell Rafe off for his hypocrisy.

 

If only, Kate was playing Clyde like Sami and Kate were playing EJ and Stefano when they took control of DE.  If only, the writers hadn't ruined that SL.  Lucas should have been plotting along with Sami and Kate.  Sami/Lucas end up breaking the bed again.  Sami signs complete control of DE over to Kate.  Lucas wonders what Sami is doing and Sami tells him she doesn't need DE or revenge, all she wants is Lucas and her children.

[boes]

Sonny should just break a lamp over Sneasel's head and then do it again.  And again.  Sneasel says they can "put it all behind them" if only Sonny will confess to what, exactly?  That he married a nitwit?  Sneasel is not only a sneak and a weasel he's also a buttwipe and and a fungal infection.  

 

Xander should be frozen and then placed in the Square so we can enjoy him every day.  Yeah, he's a jerk, so let's keep him frozen and just look at him and the pigeons can use him as a perch.

 

So all women in Salem (except for Maggie who seems to have a hefty stock of 80's pantsuits) wears the same dresses from the same designer in the exact same shape.....

 

 Maxine is still sucking up to worthless people.  If her nursing skills are as sucky as her people skills she should be fired.

 

So Parker is apparently a wiz at Go Fish, according to Maggie who took him to his room to show her.  Hows about Parker become a wiz at pushing Grandma out of an open window?  Beats the hell out of Go Fish, and then we're ALL WINNERS.  (Cept for Grandma but who gives a shit?)

 

At least, judging by Parker's grin, he's thrilled to see her go.  How touching it was that Mel needed a moment alone so she could say goodbye to her dad's generic apartment that she's spent all of six months in.  It's like she's saying goodbye to Manderly or Tara.

 

And Mel's gone.  She's just so noble.  I can only PRAY she doesn't accidentally chew off her lips with that moutful of shark teeth cuz she's just so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.  Cuz she's noble.  Which means she's good.  

Which does NOT mean she's using this as a great excuse to dump Sponge Bob Square Pants Brady because she just realized that otherwise she's tying herself up with a guy whose knuckles drag on the ground.   Cuz she's noble.   Oh!  and really really good.

 

Boo fuking hoo.... - we'll survive.

You know what's really annoying how writers keep having these characters have the same conversation over and over. Does anyone know when the new writers take over?

 

Here are the conversations:

 

Eve & Jacosta's conversation: Eve is evil. JJ is scum. I lost my daughter, I love Paige. This is all your fault.

 

Eve & JJ: All your fault.

 

Brady & Mel: You have to be there for Tate. 

 

Theresa & Brady: What's best for Tate. I hate you. 

 

Sonny & Will: Sparkles, Sparkles, Sparkles. 

 

Sparkles & Sonny: I want you. Nothing can come between us.

 

Sparkles & Yawn: I wanna get to know you. You're a hypocrite.

 

Change it up some writers, that's why you need characters to have friends so the conversation can go a little differently all while not breaking away from the story like Kate & Mr. Rapey and Kate & Sneasel today. Kate isn't on constant repeat she can have a conversation about Lucas and Adrienne with other people and not keep complaining to Lucas about Adrienne because it would get redundant. 

 

Just like Sonny can talk to Chad and Sneasel can talk to T. Theresa has Anne and Eve. Nicole needs someone cause it's sad that she keeps talking to herself. 

 

I don't know too much history between the characters but do Nicole and Kate hate each other? Or Nicole & Kayla, or Nicole & Adrienne? Does Nicole get along with any one of those women?

1. Kate paid Nicole to marry Lucas and that blew up terribly, so I don't think they have any good blood between them

2. I need Paul to get a friend so he can have someone to talk to outside of John and Sonny. It's no wonder all he does is fantasize about Sonny- poor man is probably bored to tears in Salem

3. "Sparkles, Sparkles, Sparkles:- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I just picture Will being Jan and going "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

[Petunia13]

No, no one in Salem is Nicole's friend except Brady. Jennifer and Chloe used to be her friends but she did them dirty. Her only family living family member is Brandon who I liked and he moved away. Anyhow her being friendless is her own fault because she is disloyal and values the wrong things.

Theresa does have Anne like you mentioned but Anne is hardly a rock. I remember when they'd party at The Edge and Anne would ditch drunk Tre without saying bye or a ride home hahahaha. That was some bogus shit. And Melanie Boop was more involved and helpful in the Electroshock drama and stolen baby embryo mystery and they weren't even friends, Tre was a stone cold bitch to her. So technically Tre has a half friend in Anne and a tenuous relationship with a sibling in town and that's more than Nicole.

The best show female friendship was Sami and Kate. I liked Belle and Mimi for a while.

[rulesoftravel]

 

Kate and Victor would sizzle.

They did. And probably will again.

[bobcat1946]

I wonder how long it will be before Justin and Kate hit the sack?  After all he is denied his side piece and Kate has always been Salem's welcome wagon.

[Donny Ketchum]

Her only family living family member is Brandon who I liked and he moved away.

Uh . . . Taylor?  Her sister?

[Petunia13]

Ha I assumed she died. Guess not lol.

But they weren't close and that was a stupid storyline IMO.

I'll need a refill of my Zofran for nausea.

[lilly6]

Ha! Now "Sparkles, Sparkles, Sparkles" to the tune of "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" will be in my head every time Paul appears on screen.  Giggle.

 

Sneasel was killing me describing Sparkles' "gorgeous eyes" and seductive superpowers that Sonny would surely fall prey to just as he had.  Maybe Sneasel's the one who really wants Paul.

Oh undoubtedly, he's not worried about Sonny cheating- he still wants Paul and he is jealous.

 

I really didn't know what to make of Will's little "gorgeous eyes" scenario. Finally I just shrugged and thought "Errrrr thanks for the Paulson soft porn fan fiction, Will...."

 

So much of the dialogue was weird yesterday: Will responding to the reminder that he cheated with "Well I cheated with your ex-lover!" Sonny exclaiming "You're just gonna drop that on me and walk away!" when Paul decides John was right and he should stay away, when Sonny has been discouraging Paul and Paul has told him he'd stay away before. Just weird dialogue.

[caprice]

haha i just realized Will sold Jeremiah the hell out- hope homedude lives

Nah, Jeremiah was working on orders from Clyde. I found myself more amused by the career suicide Will was committing by telling Clyde everything and showing him the notes. Dude, ever hear of protecting your sources? Just because the man asks it doesn't mean you have to TELL! Dumbass.

[rulesoftravel]

 

haha i just realized Will sold Jeremiah the hell out- hope homedude lives

 There was a scene with Jeremiah and Clyde where Jeremiah asked Clyde why he wants him to say that Clyde is not a good guy.  Clyde tells him that it will make the article seem more real and that it will make Will trust him.   And look, Will has totally forgotten that Clyde threatened Ari and Gabi and now thinks Clyde's kinda honest.  Will's ability to understand people is something akin to a minnow going swimming with a shark.

[Apprentice79]

It's obvious that Will and Paul are going to get together...There is something so sleazy about that...This whole storyline has been a bust. It would have been better for Will to cheat with somebody else and for that to push Sonny towards Sparkle....Or Sonny cheats with Sparkle pushing Will to go down the dark side...

[2222222222222222]

Lol I can't with Will and Clyde then- what the heck is the plan for these two, DOOL? One week, Will thinks he wants to kill his daughter, the next, after a little prodding from Jeremiah+Clyde, Will's totally comfy with him in his house, talking about becoming a changed man. Perhaps Will will fully embrace his darker side and ask Kate for help or, shudders, take notes from good old Clyde.

[Apprentice79]

The characters on this show are a mess....August cannot come fast enough for me....11 more weeks of Tomsell's poison pens...They have to be the worst writing team in Daytime, I hate everybody on the show for different reasons...Only Jack coming back to reclaim his family from that disgusting doctor will make things right for me. I  want Jack and Steve to talk some sense into JJ. He needs them more than ever. Jack and Steve can relate to his feelings of self-loathing and being scared of being like their dads..Both Steve and Jack struggled with their dark sides. I want a JJ/Steve scene so bad, that I could taste it...Jack/JJ and of course I want Sonny to have good scenes with his uncles...I want the Johnson family dynamic explored to the fullest...They were the ones that got me hooked on Days years ago...

 

  Steve was scared he was just like Duke. And yes, the only Duke that Steve knew was the abusive asshole but what really scared Steve was when Jo told him that Duke wasn't always like that, that he was sweet and fun when they first got together and, in fact, Steve reminded her a lot of Duke in the early days. That little comment sent him running away from Kayla about as quickly as possible because he was afraid that, just like Duke, he'd turn into a monster. JJ lost his mind a bit after he find out about Jack raping Kayla. 

 

Then there is Jack. He thought Harper was a great man until the whole serial killer thing came out and Jack had to go through his stretch where he figured he was doomed to be way too much like both his fathers. His own actions contributed to that feeling but it was there.  JJ needs to realize that being like Jack is not necessarily a bad thing, he has control over his life and future. Jack did some bad things, but he paid for them and became a better man.  Tomsell are incapable of deep character explorations and that is  deeply lacking in their characters.  They have no souls and motivations. They have all been assigned designated roles and must act accordingly, even if it does not match up with their character history.

Man oh man, but could Abby look more ridiculous, trying to think up ways to be in Chad's presence so that she can ask glaringly obvious questions while trying to look simperingly innocent?

 

I hate the character and I can't get past how strange looking I find the actress.  Damn, but she's annoying!

 

I don't like Daniel but the actor works very well with the child playing Parker--their scenes are kind of cute.

 

Is it evil of me that I'm loving Eric's pain and confusion over Serena?  He was so convinced that she was morally superior to Nicole only to find out that she's just as much of a liar.  WOO HOO!!!

Edited June 3, 2015 by kitmerlot1213

[Apprentice79]

Why must Kayla always interact with Abifail, her niece through marriage. I have never seen her interact with Sonny, Steve's nephew. I have never seen her interact with Theresa, Kim's daughter, her blood niece, it is sacrilegious! Does she know what happened to Theresa and has she met Tater-tot..Her grand-nephew. This is why the show sucks, they forget the ties that bind these characters to one another..Ken Corday has designated that Theresa will be the new Sami, so she has to remain friendless, unsympathetic with no family....Kayla a dynamic character, has been reduced to be Abifail's cheerleader...Steve come home! and get your sweetness Stat!

 

I wish that Eric was more smarter, why do they always have Greg Vaughn play the village idiot. He played that as Lucky on General Hospital....I want a darker, and smarter Eric with the new regime in August..He needs to grovel for NIcole's love and forgiveness and for having a hard-on for that that sleazebag Daniel Jonas...

Okay, someone rearranged the furniture, but I think I get it! 

 

Kitmerlot - yes, I am loving Eric's confusion over Serena, but I bet he'll still be just as judmental as he ever was in the future. 

[bantering]

How long is Abigail going to be going through this "growing phase" where she comes to the conclusion that people make mistakes no matter how good their intentions? Is she doing some kind of weird anticipatory justification? I think something "complex" might have been going on with her today character-wise, but maybe I dislike her too much now to give her points for figuring out she might be someone who likes to cheat with different people. 

 

Her hair looked bad too. Like, really bad. Do the hairdressers dislike her as much as I do? It looked like someone stuck her head down a swamp...

 

At least Chad's white shirt looked nice on him.

6/3/2015 Recap :)

 

Kayla/Abby

Abby is in her office when Kayla enters, they hug and Kayla knows Abby got here early. Kayla wonders if Abby is working to get away from the JJ Eve drama as Abby looks at documents with Chad's name on it. She looks at it again and says that Kayla is right that she's upset about a lot of things and what Jen did and how it doesn't seem like Jen. Kayla says that what Jen did was for JJ and would do the same for Abby. Abby says she was being judgmental and how she's learning no matter how good your intentions are you're gonna make mistakes whether that's love, family, or falling in love with the wrong person.

 

Kayla says it's not weird that someone could fall for the wrong person. (Lost satellite signal for a few seconds) Came back to Kayla talking about Steve. Abby wishes she was like Kayla not caring what people think. Kayla says that Jen approves Ben and Abby says yes and Kayla says what's the concern. Abby says she has doubts about herself and not Ben. Kayla doesn't understand as why Abby has doubts about herself and Abby doesn't know if she has loyalty to stay with someone and make it last.

 

Abby says she doesn't feel like herself as it can't be her as she's better and stronger and something just takes over and she loses control and doesn't know what it is.  Abby apologizes to Kayla but Kayla loves when Abby talks to her and calls Abby beautiful and smart and that she puts too much pressure on herself and tells Abby to enjoy what's going on today and things that make her happy. Abby agrees. Kayla says she knows Ben wasn't truthful about his past but she sees that Ben is a good guy who is crazy about her and that Abby needs to be grateful and thankful for what she has and let her heart tell her what's right. Kayla has to go and Abby thanks her, they hug and Kayla leaves.

 

Abby looks at the document with Chad's name on it again when a worker comes in and takes some things and asks about the document and Abby says she'll deliver it herself as she wants to talk to the recipient.

 

Chad/Zoe/Kate/Abby

Chad is working on a birthday sign for Ari at TBD with Zoe liking the sign. Zoe is impressed that Chad has times for the small things and Chad asks if Will turned in the Clyde article with Zoe saying that Will will turn it in tomorrow and that she's free all night as Kate looks on. Chad says he has to get back to work. Zoe says she wants to check out a theater in Chicago as she has two tickets and would Chad be interested which Chad says he's tied up. Zoe says too bad and maybe next time. Chad wants Zoe to notify him when article is turned in. Zoe runs into Kate and they exchange pleasantries and Zoe leaves.

 

Kate approaches Chad and says how Chad wouldn't give Zoe the time of day. Kate asks if Zoe asked him out and why would Chad say no to Zoe because Zoe is beautiful. Chad kind of hems and haws about why he didn't accept Zoe's offer. Kate says that Chad declined Zoe because he's thinking about someone else. Chad says his personal life is none of her business which Kate disagrees as she likes Chad and wants what's best for him personally and professionally and compliments the birthday sign. Kate asks if Chad did the invitations and if Abby is invited as Chad and Abby should keep their distance but Chad shouldn't need a reminder as to why they should keep their distance and leaves.

 

Chad is now in his backyard when Abby approaches him and that Harold told her that he would be in the backyard. Chad says he gave his staff the night off. Abby wants to give Chad a memo about the charity as it's request for funds on contingency account and Chad says Abby needed to hand it over to him. Chad says he doesn't have any questions about it and asks if there's anything else. Abby says doesn't he need to hear about it and Chad says he doesn't need to hear anything, she'll get the money. Abby says she'll leave the document on the study and no answer from Chad. Abby is about to leave but wants to know what's wrong with Chad.

 

Chad says nothing is wrong look at his life, his money, his house, the scotch his drinking and how he can snap his fingers and go anywhere and be given anything. Chad says what more could he want out of life. Abby says Chad is upset and that he's grieving over Kristen she's sure and that being alone in a big house is a bad idea. Chad says he doesn't have to be alone as Zoe is available and Abby brings up the memo and will leave it in the study. Chad tells her to stay and the real reason she came. Abby said she came for the money and Chad asks why is she here and Abby doesn't know what he means. Chad says she does and what's going to happen and Abby says no and Chad says yes and Chad says they both know why she's here.

 

Chad says it's going to happen and it's why she's here which Abby denies. Chad says they want each other like they never have before and their past makes them want each other. When he looks in Abby's eyes he sees what no one else sees and it will make it better for when it does happen. Abby says no and Chad says yes and says Abby knows it's true and Chad kisses her and Abby kisses back and drops her purse. (Last scene of the day)

 

Kate/Kayla
Kate is in the hospital when Kayla approaches her and tells Kate her oncologist is not there and that she's cancer free. Kayla said she hard Kate is at Mad World and Lucas being fired and wants to know if Kate fired Lucas and Kate says Vic fired him. Kayla wants to know why and Kate says that Kayla can talk to Lucas about it but Kayla wants to talk to Kate since Kate is standing in front of her and Kate says Lucas was fired because he's sleeping with Adrienne.

 

Kayla is speechless and Kate says Kayla was the last to know because Lucas and Adrienne wasn't discrete and that Kayla would have been a better choice. Kayla doesn't know why Adrienne would cheat on Justin and Kate says that Justin had an affair as well. Kate walks off.

 

Victor/Dan

Vic wants to know why Dan won't come and Dan said dinner is for Xander. Vic asks if Dan has a problem with Xander and Dan says yes.  Dan asks how well does Vic knows Xander and Dan says that Xander changed dramatically and now he's successful and ran a charity and it's quite a story. Vic wants to know what's the point and Dan says he's not buying it. Victor calls it a harsh assessment and Dan says that Xander is a thug and that he talked to someone about Xander about Africa. Vic thinks it was Eric but Dan says it was a woman. Vic says he's taking someone's word as gospel and Dan says it's not just that but what he seen Xander do to Nicole.

 

Dan says that Xander didn't mean one word about apologizing and Xander has been lying from day one and thinks it's an all an act and had enough of it. Vic is sorry to hear about it and won't put Dan in an awkward position by meeting Xander, tells him to take care and leaves. Outside Vic texts Xander to come to the house.

 

Parker wants Dan to play but Dan says give him two minutes as he looks at Nicole's number on his cell phone. Says to himself that Nicole will play cat and mouse with him. Dan tells Parker to give him a couple more minutes as he looks at his laptop and sees Nicole's photo and says this could work. Dan is done doing what he's doing and goes over to Parker who has the elephant as the trunk is broken and Dan is going to fix it. Xander sees the back panel while trying to fix it.

Xander wants to know what's wrong and Vic says he's disappointed in him. Vic asks him about the phone call about simple instructions and ignore him which Xander doesn't know what it's about. Vic says it's about Nicole and calls him an idiot and said that he needed to stay away from Nicole and did Xander need flash cards to get the message. Xander says that he takes Vic's orders very seriously and wants to explain. Victor tells Xander to shut up and that Xander will not lie to him. Vic says Xander upset Dan and himself and that he made Xander and can break him.

 

Xander/Nicole

Nicole says that Dan isn't the appropriate topic of conversation for them which Xander doesn't agree. Nicole tells him to leave but Xander kisses her. Nicole pushes him off and says what the hell and Xander says Nicole isn't over Dan. Nicole doesn't like that Xander is bringing up Dan basically and Nicole says what part of her body language says she enjoys being pushed around. Xander apologizes for being rude and crazy for bringing it up. Xander says it would be crazy to bring Nicole to dinner with Parker and Brady being there and Nicole says her point exactly. Xander says his family does get in the way and Nicole asks if they should end it and Xander doesn't think so.

 

Xander says he won't be pushy anymore and Nicole says as long as they understand each other and Xander says they do. Xander has to go and asks about Nicole's chat with Serena. Nicole asks if Serena told him which Xander confirms. Nicole says Salem won't be the same without Serena and Xander receives the text and says he's gotta go, kisses Nicole's hand and leaves.

 

Nicole is on her computer doing an EWE Search and she went through the links a 100 times and that there has to be something on Xander and how no one can hide their past. Nicole reads Alexandros Kiriakis and then Alexandros Cook and reads that Xander served time for murder.

 

Eric/Serena

Eric wants to know about the photo of Serena and Xander. Serena says she doesn't understand and Eric firmly tells her to answer the question. Serena apologizes for seeming rattled and Serena thought that Eric went through her things and Eric says he didn't as the envelope was delivered. Serena tries to evade by saying her name was on it and how Eric shouldn't have opened it and Eric pushes right back and tells Serena to explain. Serena says it's nothing and Eric says she's in bed with Xander and Serena says it means nothing now as it was years ago. Eric calls it an affair and Serena says it was after Eric left for the priesthood. Eric says that's not it as Serena never said a word and wants to know why she would keep it from him. 

 

Eric says seriously and that he should know and Serena says no. Eric says he's confused as Serena was upfront about her old boyfriends but leaves Xander out. Serena says it was awful and a huge mistake and found out that Xander isn't a good person and ashamed that she could be with someone like Xander and it was meaningless. She doesn't want to be reminded of her mistake. Eric stares at Serena and then looks at the photo and says it doesn't make sense to him and why would Xander send the photo to Serena now. Serena says Xander knows how she feels about him and that Xander is jealous and that he's not a good person and she hates him and can't wait to put distance between them. Serena says there are more positives to focus on and let it go and Eric says no because Serena is lying to him.

 

Serena says it's a mistake and Xander means nothing to him and doesn't want to see him again. Eric wants to know why she agreed to work on an article for Xander. Serena says she wasn't excited which Eric says it doesn't make sense that Serena would wanna work with someone that she hates. Serena says she would work with Xander to stay in Salem with Eric and that everything she do is for Eric and it's the rock bottom truth. Eric doesn't buy any of it. 

 

Eric says that Serena wouldn't take an assignment that she doesn't believe in and that Serena doesn't want to say something and how are they suppose to go away together with her lying. Eric wants to know what's going on or they're not going anywhere.

I'm so tired of Dark Roast and his damn judgmental tone, calling Xander a thug and acting like he's so much better than him. I know Xander is a bad person but damn do people always have to change their perception of people because the almighty Dark Roast says something. I guess when people arrive in Salem they have to take the Dark Roast Personality Quiz as it will determine on whether or not you'll be liked by Dark Roast and the rest of Salem. Oy. 

 

Victor OMG really, you upset because Xander upset Dark Roast. Ugh. Dark Roast propping just never ends. 

 

Jar Jar quit playing coy. OMG it doesn't work for you because people can see right through you. Just got done telling Kayla about her losing control and making mistakes but apparently she was blowing a lot of hot air. There's nothing that makes her lose control, it's her damn sex drive that drives her to do the things she does. Telling Chad he shouldn't be alone and that's code for Jar Jar saying let me accompany you with my vagina. She's such a slut and poor Mannequin, guess he has to go back to the manufacturer and tell them to slap a real penis on him. 

 

Chad should have given Zoe a chance, she's a bitch with how she spoke to Sonny about the affair with Sparkles but I would still prefer her over Jar Jar. At least she wanted to do something outside of the bedroom like go to a theater.
