Current Plots Discussion: Actually Today's Episode

[SanDiegoInExile]

Are they going to be bringing Jamie Lyn Bauer back on the show?  That would be great.

 

I wouldn't mind having the character of Laura Horton back on the scene.

But if DOOL really wants to blow away everyone with the 50th, they should talk Susan Flannery into returning to the role.

Not only would that get major soap headlines, it also might lure some B+B folks to sample DOOL.

 

No insider scoop -- but I just have this feeling.....

[Rick Kitchen]

This really didn't seem like a Friday show.  There was no dundunDUN moment.

[Black Knight]

I really liked the work TOB did in her scene with JJ, when Paige pretended to be her old self - only you could tell there was something a little off, self-mocking about it. Well, "you" being inclusive of everyone but JJ, that is, since that dumbass didn't catch on until she busted out the line about it being gross to sleep with someone that much older. TOB seems to be having a lot of fun and I don't blame her. As for JJ - yeah, Theresa is a terrible human being to basically everyone but her grandmother and her sister, but I haven't forgotten what a smug, condescending douchebag he was just a couple of weeks ago, so I felt like he deserved Theresa's schadenfreude. Especially when he started in on what a skank Eve is - JJ, if she's a skank for sleeping with you, you're a skank for sleeping with her. Same goes to Chad with his slut comment to Abifail, and god knows I loathe Abifail, but again, it goes both ways, dude.

 

Speaking of Chad, I just couldn't with him, Abifail or Stefano today. First of all, Chad, you were the one who was dumb enough to become the sidepiece's sidepiece. You fucked her without insisting that she break up with Ben first (and then was all smug with Ben about it), and now you're going to have a temper tantrum over it? Please. And Abifail, when Chad said he didn't love you, you should've said that's great, no hurt feelings then and taken that as your cue to exit - but oh, that really hurts your ego, so of course you have to start trying to make Chad confess he loves you even though you're staying with Ben. Please. And Stefano apparently overhears everything and is still Abifail's biggest cheerleader, because WHY? Please! Kill him off if this is what they're going to be making Stefano do.

 

And I usually love BF's acting, but that whole weak in the knees stagger complete with fall to the ground was just laughable. Although in fairness I'm not sure who could've saved that nonsense. And again, I have zero sympathy for Chad because he had a good thing going with Jordan and then he ruined it with a temper tantrum. I'm sensing a pattern here. What was it the other poster said about him, "forever the dramatic asshole"? Yup, that's about right.

 

I don't love all Eve's whining about how everything is Jen's fault, but at least her plan to get vengeance on Jen via Laura keeps her out of the kiddie pool storyline-wise. Please let it stay that way. But less whining and more venging, please.

I don't think he's having a temper tantrum, he's doing it to "protect" Abigail from his father.

[ShadowSixx]

Spot on post Black Knight ​Chad was just so stupid and I called him the dramatic asshole. That whole fall to the knees bit was just a bit too damn much. He's so damn out of breath over talking down to Jar Jar that it took so much breath and energy out of him. Why people in Salem settle for being side pieces I'll never understand. Lucas has no problem being the sidepiece, Jar Jar loves being one, Chad is next in line. 

 

Then we have Jar Jar running to Ben and using him. She only went to him and said that everything is good now because Chad reamed her ass out. If Chad was being honest and saying the sex was great and didn't bruise her ego she wouldn't have ran to Ben and been all lovey dovey with him. She's treating Ben like her Plan B which is just not right. She's getting me to feel sorry for Ben, thanks a lot Jar Jar, I never expected to feel sorry for him. 

[bobcat1946]

wondered if Chad would have gone through it had he not heard side piece telling Ben she love him.

[Rick Kitchen]

Yeah, but it was sort of a throwaway line.  "Yeah, yeah, I love you.  Seeya, bye."

Writers will make sure U won't feel sorry for Ben long.  They imo will make him so evil u will feel so sorry for the side piece.  Or so they will hope.

[Black Knight]

Yeah, but it was sort of a throwaway line.  "Yeah, yeah, I love you.  Seeya, bye."

They made a big deal out of holding the camera on Chad's reaction to hearing Abifail tell Ben that she loves him - the moment of him overhearing it ended their part of the episode yesterday and was replayed today. He took it seriously. I really didn't get the impression from BF's acting that this is about Chad pushing Abifail away because of Stefano. He realized that she wasn't going to dump Ben for him and decided to save his pride.

 

Really, why would he need to push her away to protect her? She already wasn't going to leave Ben for him; she was there to tell him their night was a mistake. He knew that from hearing her on the phone. All he had to do was just amicably go along with that. I still think it's a temper tantrum. It's in character for him.

[ShadowSixx]

Writers will make sure U won't feel sorry for Ben long.  They imo will make him so evil u will feel so sorry for the side piece.  Or so they will hope.

 

 

B.S. I will never ever feel sorry for side piece ever. If Ben decides to beat Chad's ass like he did last time, I'll root him on. If he decides to choke Jar Jar and pop her eyeballs out all at the same time, I'll give him the key to the city. 

[boes]

Damn.   It's too late to comment on the whole episode, but crap, whatever the hell Chad picked up from sexing up Abigail must be one nasty bug.  It actually drove him to his knees.  Looks like that Hoo Haw of hers should be declared a disaster zone.

 

And pudding-for-brains Brady just can't help but defaulting to bully mode, can he?  Theresa drove Mel back to YURR OPE and he's got nobody for lovin' but some Maggie on the side, so I guess he thinks he's fooled Theresa into giving up her leverage.

This numbnuts never learns, he just never learns.  He might have big biceps, and the old ladies and children he usually beats up might be scared, but Theresa can stumble-bum him in a matter of seconds.  Turd for Brains doesn't stand a chance.

Rory and Paige should totally hook up now.

 

I'm on board for Rage! And now I've made a squish name.

 

I loathe myself.

[Rick Kitchen]

Does that mean Bev and JJ are BJ?

[QuelleC]

Paige is too young to need a pizza delivery guy fantasy. 

 

The bj joke was really needed today, thanks Rick "night" Kitchen.

[Lastwaltz]

I felt for Chad when he pushed Abigail away. That look on his face as she turned to leave spoke volumes, and yeah, the "fall to the knee" thing was a little over the top but I believed it. He's protecting Abigail. But I have no idea why Stephano is so bent on the pairing. 

 

True O'Brien is rocking it. Did I hear somewhere that she and Casey Moss are dating in real life? 

[TigerLynx]

In Salem:

 

Brady is an idiot and a bully - check

 

Everyone blames someone else for what they did - check

 

The writers are still desperately trying to make certain characters relevant and failing - check

 

Everyone cheats - check

 

Lather, rinse, repeat.

 

Stefano has officially become even more of a pathetic cartoon joke than he already was.

[LeftPhalange]

Eve has no friends, no romantic prospects, and the only family that sometimes likes her are Theresa and Eric. Preying on Jen's fears of having a mental illness in an attempt to drive her insane is probably not the way to go if the writers want more people to like Eve. The same goes for Theresa. There are very few people in Salem who are willing to tolerate her bullshit so it's not wise to have her immediately use her new found baby as her ticket into Brady's wallet and bed. These people need to be integrated into the canvas but the writers keep having them to do stuff that will keep them on the sidelines.

[Artsda]

Between the 2 evils, Chad's trying to protect Abi from Stefano by leaving her with Ben and by extension Clyde makes no sense. Clyde and even Victor has done more evil and bad things lately than Stefano. It's Clyde people should be protecting others from.

[Sandman]

This really didn't seem like a Friday show.  There was no dundunDUN moment.

I THINK the "dundunDUN" was supposed to be Chad's collapse to his knees while admitting he loves Grabbigail. Not much of shocker, except how dumb the writers insist on making Even Stupider Chad.

I keep forgetting that Eve and Eric are related.

[Artsda]

Eve and Eric aren't related,  only Theresa and Eric. Theresa's a Brady, Eve's not.

[lilly6]

I'm rather enjoying pissed off Paige. 

 

Could they hurry up with the Sparkle/Sonny/Sneasel storyline? At this point they're going to do nothing but have the same conversation all summer until FS is gone.

Eve and Eric are related through marriage since Kim is Eve's step mother.

Lilly6,I think Will and Paul are going to get together...All three actors have hinted at Will and Paul becoming a couple...I hate it....I don't care about Will or Paul if Sonny is not involved..They should use Sonny's absence to build Will and Sparkle individually...It is obvious that Will and Paul are going to get together and then Sonny comes back in the form of Freddie Smith or  a recast to break them up...

 

They should bring other love interests for Will and Paul, while keeping them as rivals...These writers lack imagination....I hope that Higley fixes this, because Paul and Will becoming a couple is unseemly and disgusting....It cheapens Wilson and Paulson....They should have had Sonny and Paul get together, while Will watches from the sidelines. It would have been his punishment for hurting Sonny and taking him for granted...

Chad better be protecting himself from abifail.  She cheat on Ben she will cheat on Chad.

Since Stefano want them together he push her away.  So I take it if Stefano was against them he would have humped her yet again.

[Dandesun]

I don't see Eve necessarily blaming Jen for the affair with JJ. It seems to me that neither JJ nor Eve can even explain that or excuse it... but I think what Eve blames Jen for is the blackmail to keep Eve out of JJ/Paige getting back together even knowing what he had been doing with her. Eve's desperation to keep them apart (and, again, I can't really blame her for that) led to the shit with Cole and all that but, ultimately, Jen deciding that JJ should have Paige no matter what resulted in a bigger mess than what it was from the start.

 

I'm not saying Eve is completely in the right but I think I do get why she's blaming JJ and Jen. It was pretty fucking gross of the two of them to team up in order to blackmail Eve so that JJ could have her virginal daughter in order to make him feel good about himself. That's just... really, really fucked up. However, that doesn't clear Eve of screwing JJ in the first place... or continue to do it... And I also can see Eve's rage at the fact that Jen enabled the worst of this bullshit and still has what matters most to her while Eve, who also made a huge, damaging mistake, has lost the person who matters to her the most.

 

I guess Paige will hate Eve until something happens that almost kills her mother or something... possibly something Paige sets up herself out of revenge. Who knows? Again, I'm more interested in a mother/daughter reunion than I am in a lame ass high school romance that bled over into college and seemed to do nothing but make both parties pretty miserable. What started out as something kind of sweet never got its feet under it to make it something worth investing in, to me, and has actually resulted in convincing me that this relationship is absolutely horrible. JJ puts Paige up on a pedestal and convinces himself that she's his only reason for living which puts way too much pressure on her... it's not good. It's not good at all. I can't root for it.

 

All I can root for is for Eve to get out of this mess and remain among adults... pay for her transgressions (she's doing it now even though she's deep in the denial and refusing to take responsibility - ideally, she'll fully accept what she did and not push Paige anymore which leads to something that puts her life in danger or whatever and blah blah blah... TomSell don't believe in redemption arcs, obviously, maybe the next crew does. Not that I'm holding my breath.)

 

Also, with everyone under the sun telling JJ to move on and leave Paige alone, that pretty much tells me he will refuse to do so and be rewarded for it. Not looking forward to that at all.

 

Other stuff? I really don't care about the Brady - Theresa stuff. I like Chad but I am not understanding what Stefano's obsession is with Chad getting Abigail so that puts a major damper there. There's a lot of meh stuff going on.

[Rick Kitchen]

Where is Paige living?  And how is she paying for it?

[QuelleC]

I thought she said she talked with SU and qualified to live on campus with Daphne.  I assume it was a paid internship.  Not that Eve would have a problem paying for her.  She tried to call and get financial aid for Stanford at the last minute too so she could get out and Always Ratty didn't let her.  I'm just glad she moved out of Eve's ratty apartment and away from ratty Eve.

[Sandman]

I'm not saying Eve is completely in the right but I think I do get why she's blaming JJ and Jen. It was pretty fucking gross of the two of them to team up in order to blackmail Eve so that JJ could have her virginal daughter in order to make him feel good about himself. That's just... really, really fucked up.

I don't get it at all. Eve's being completely irrational, and not taking responsibility for what she did to betray her daughter. That strikes me as at least as fucked up as whatever pathetic self-exculpatory pretzel twists JJ was tying himself into.

Edited June 14, 2015 by Sandman

[boes]

I think being mad at Jenn is an appropriate reaction for almost anybody,always.  She's an officious, judgemental unpleasant ass of a person.  What saves her is that her daughter is even worse.

Eve is wrong to blame her is if she's a primary cause in this mess, though.  That's on her first, on JJ second.  But the only thing I won't like about Eve going after her is that it's inevitable that any troubles Jenn has will only make the suckups of Salems praise her even more.  It won't happen any other way.  

So even though Eve is wrong about this, I'm going to enjoy whatever the hell she does to Jenn.  The payback may not for the right thing, but there's a lot of slapping, butting in, unsolicited opinions and judgements, snarky talk, unfair assumptions and refusal of responsibility to be worked off.  Jenn's little eyes will scrunch up, the tears will come, and then she'll get that mad look on her face, and say under her breath, "NEWMAN".  Oops!  Wrong show!

 

Oh well, maybe she can fall in love with George Costanza and die from licking her wedding invitation envelopes.

 

As for Sparkle, he should start wearing a FitBit and see just how many miles a day he logs from walking around the Square while Sneasel and Sonny keep "bumping" into him.  Guy was fit before, but by now he must triathalon-ready with all that walking.  

 

Poor Lucas.  It looks like it will be back to his blow-up doll before much longer.  I'm not sure if that's a bad or a good thing......Adrienne, on the other hand, can't lose no matter what guy she ends up with.

 

There was a time when I thought Hope and Rafe might have been an item.  They've got an easy rapport and he's much less of a sullen dickhead with her.  But I like her with Aiden much more than I want her with Rafe.  Aiden is an actual grown-up, and maybe the only man in Salem who qualifies as such.  I hope Show doesn't mess that up.

[Donny Ketchum]

You're right, of course.  I wonder if he'll be staying, though.  Maybe if he's happy with storyline and writing this time.

I want Hope to be happy and treated well, which so far Aidan is doing. I'd be fine if when Bo comes back they have a scene or two with Ciara and then hug and shake hands and be done with it. Bo and Hope were my jam back in the day, but she deserves better and I hope that Show does not throw Aidan under the bus.

[oceanblue]

I suspect that Justin is working with Bo and Steve to bring down Stephano once and for all.  I don't think he's really having an affair.  

[Sandman]

"Much less of a sullen dickhead with her" is the gold standard of relationships in this ferkakte town.

[LeftPhalange]

If I were super invested in Patch/Kayla or Bo/Hope I'd be extremely pissed at how the writers treated them. Even if Bo and Patch couldn't come back to Salem I don't believe they'd ever abandon their wives for years and keep them in the dark about what's going on. Though, if Justin is working with them I understand why he would keep Sonny's mother in the dark. Her loud, annoying, hateful ass would ruin everything.

[Dandesun]

I don't get it at all. Eve's vein completely irrational, and not taking responsibility for what she did to betray her daughter. That strikes me as at least as fucked up as whatever pathetic self-exculpatory pretzel twists JJ was tying himself into.

 

No no, I'm not saying that Eve wasn't wrong. Her having an affair with JJ is all kinds of fucked up. I just think I get where the 'it's all Jennifer and JJ's fault' is coming from... which is not the affair itself because it seems that neither one can explain or excuse it. It's Jennifer's blackmail that kept Eve from interfering in JJ getting back with Paige. Eve's focusing on that being the reason she lost Paige - which is true but not the WHOLE truth because Eve wouldn't have lost her at all if she hadn't slept with JJ in the first place.

 

What I see happening is that Eve can't justify or excuse or make up for what she did. She admits she made a mistake but there just doesn't seem to be anything to be done about that so she's doing what troubled soap characters do and that's focus on what she feels she CAN do something about. At any rate, the point I was making was that I think I see what Eve's motivation is at the moment. It's not about the actual affair... it's about Jen's involvement afterwards that she's decided is the source of all of her problems. It's pretty typical... she's not right about it but I get where she's coming from. And it's pretty much a given that she's going to suffer hard for this, too, so it's not as if she's going to get out of anything with this "plan" she's working on.

 

I just hope it's entertaining.

[Sandman]

Jenn's little eyes will scrunch up, the tears will come, and then she'll get that mad look on her face, and say under her breath, "NEWMAN". Oops! Wrong show!

Are we sure about that? This show is becoming a show about nothing, certainly.

If I thought Eve's idiotic revenge plan had any chance of being entertaining, I might feel differently; this whole thing started because of Eve's plan to "prove" what a bad guy JJ is. I'm sure the current brainstorm will have equally stellar (and dreary) results. I see what you're saying, Dande; I just can't get over the idea that by the time Jenn and her pursed-up mouth of judgment interfered, the damage to Eve's relationship with Paige was already irreparable. Eve is doing what every second damn idiot in this town does, which is to ignore her own responsibility for her choices. There should be a support group. Peckerheads Anonymous, or something.

I hate the fact that Tomsell has destroyed every relationship and characters on the show to serve their nonsensical plots. I don't believe for a second that Bo and Steve would abandon their wives. Will, Lucas, and Sami  would be the cheating type. Eve would sleep with her daughter's boyfriend. Kim and Shane's only daughter Jeannie a.k.a Theresa would be a money-hungry sociopath. Justin would be cold and distant with Adrienne. Adrienne would become a judgmental harpy.  Kate would be in love with a pedophile, given her history with Curtis and Billie.  Victor would allow Clyde to best him after attacking Sonny..All of the characters on the show need a reset...

Peckerheads Anonymous sounds PERFECT for Salem!  Maybe they can host a Fox Hunt and meet back at the old Peckerwood Estate.  Nah, Auntie Mame would take one look at this group and let these suckers STARVE to death.

 

I do think that our dear Maggie would be a very sought after sponsor at Peckerheads Anonymous.  She practically invented the concept, and she sure as hell birthed the King of the Peckerheads.

The show is boring, but you all are hilarious.

 

I'm trying to figure out what could be done to salvage these characters.  At this point, I would be happy with a Bobby Ewing dream season that erased several years of the show like they never happened.

[tawny411]

Traitorous as it might be, I'd rather see Hope with Aiden.  IMO Bo is played out, at least with Hope.

 

 

Peter signed a contract, so I imagine he'll be around for quite a while.

I think Bo and Hope grew stale years ago.  What else can be written for them as a couple?  They've done every storyline imaginable already.  Who's the daddy (twice), back from the dead, held captive by Stefano, kidnapping, adultery, multiple weddings, long lost child with ex-lover, dead child, near fatal illness, psychic visions, amnesia, addiction to pills, prison,  That's just off the top of my head. There are many others.  At least with Hope and Aiden its something fresh.  There's still so much about Aiden's past we don't know that could generate lots of stories.  Pairing Hope with Aiden has really revitalized her character.  Bo's had other love interests  so it wouldn't be difficult to pair him with someone else. Let there be a triangle for a little while then let Bo and Hope go their separate ways.

 

Peter signed a contract but we don't know for how long. A contract can be for different amounts of time.  The actress who played Melanie signed a six month contract her last return. An Australian actor just signed a 13 week contract.  PR could be back longterm or short term, we don't know.

[ShadowSixx]

I don't think Days can do anything with these characters. All of them are doing the same thing over and over and back to back. Writers are not giving the characters a chance to breathe and do something else without reverting them back to their old habits.

 

Also doesn't help the fact that these characters have the same damn conversation over and over until you're blue in the face. That's what happens when writers keep their characters all contained within the same bubble and not interact with someone else to possibly change up the dialogue. Which IMO is why you have the day players to switch up the convo so they're not saying the same thing to the same character over and over. If T was still around maybe they could have switched up Sneasel's dialogue when talking about his marital woes but then again he would tell T that he can't lose Sonny and basically repeat himself because he repeats the same shit to Mar and Kate. He would probably tell Caroline & Lucas the same thing too. 

 

They also had a real chance with Theresa to not have her scheme so much and see how much it gets you in trouble seeing as how Miss Rapey schemed and she fell out of a window. They could have had Theresa reflect on how her schemes could affect Tate and be on the straight and narrow for a few before going back to her scheming ways. Theresa is like a mini-Kate, scheming and whatnot but Kate is just slightly more subtle with her schemes and Theresa is just too in your face with it. 

[kitmerlot1213]

Ah today's episode, such a treat!   How lovely was it to watch Victor and Maggie affirming to each other how awesome the other one was, all while condemning Theresa for being a horrible mother.  You know what would be even more awesome?  Actually waiting for Theresa to be a bad mother because right now all I'm seeing is that Theresa is massively insecure and truly worried about taking care of her son.

 

And how great was Brady's dismissing all of Theresa's preparations?  Like she's had loads of time to get all of the baby things she'll need and good for her for throwing it back in Brady's face that he has a staff to help him while she's alone.  What a complete jackass.

 

I did love Daniel's confused face when Eric refused to indulge in gossip about Serena--the entitled jerkface was stunned that Eric didn't do as commanded.

 

Was Nicole's accent more Irish then Scottish?  Sounded like that to me.

The accents used by Nicole and the woman on the phone were both all over the place. I was just glad that Nicole didn't try to specify where hers was from, instead saying that her mother was American so she'd spent a lot of time there. When she got off the phone with her line, "Wee barns? What movie did that come from?" I laughed again. I love when TPTB let us see Funny Nicole.

6/15/2015 Recap :)

 

Theresa/Brady

We start off with these two and Brady says they're done and it's over and Theresa says there's still custody and Brady says he's going to be reasonable with Tate. Theresa wants to know what he's talking about and Theresa wants a new beginning in regards to being parents. A nurse walks in to get coffee and Brady says Theresa can come to the house and see the nursery and Theresa says Brady can come back to her house which Brady agrees and they leave.

 

Brady enters and says that's all she ordered and Brady says Theresa isn't prepared. Theresa says she has to do it all alone and doesn't have a staff to order around. She says Tate doesn't even have his own room. Brady asks what she wants and Theresa talks about moving into Vic's house. Theresa says she can put up with it for Tate's sake which Brady says is never going to happen. Theresa doesn't understand and Brady says Vic isn't going to put up with it. Theresa says that Vic and Maggie would suck it up. Brady mentions the fireplace poker and to not use Tate to get what she wants. Brady says parents share custody that don't live together and Brady tells her to get a bigger house and that he can get nannies and a staff which Theresa is offended that it's all about money. Brady says it's always money with Theresa and Theresa says she has a job and can get help from Kim and Shane. Brady says fine and that the only way they're gonna communicate about Tate is via e-mail unless it's an emergency. 

 

Brady says they can work out when to see Tate and Brady wants everything arranged in advance. Theresa sees it as Brady wanting to see as little as her as possible which Brady says that's how it's going to go. Theresa says they're not trying to get along is not gonna be good for Tate. Brady says he's doing it for Theresa which Theresa wonders why. Brady says it's not a good idea for Tate to see him think so little of Theresa. Theresa says they can make it work and Brady says no cause he's standing in front of her and tense and he wants to strangle her. Brady says he's doing what's best but Theresa says it's about Mel leaving which Brady confirms.

Who's in charge here Victor or Dark Roast?? Why does Vic feel the need to tell Dark Roast anything about Xander? What the competition is out of the way. Whatever. Also Dark Roast stop wearing open shirts, showing off your nasty chest hair.

 

Brady is just a nasty piece of work, he swears he's better than Theresa. Really, communicate with co-parent via e-mail?? Text would be the best. I mean me personally I don't check my e-mails everyday. Theresa is wasting her damn time and should regret now being permanently connected to Dumbass Brady forever. He continues to show his stupidity with how he wants things done in advance, with children that's nearly impossible to do because things always come up at the last minute. So good luck with that stupid. I don't have kids and I know this shit. 

 

Nicole's Scottish accent was very bad.

 

Xander still being an abusive little bitch with grabbing Shrewena's hair. This story can't die fast enough. 

 

The one good thing about this episode was Eric leaving Dark Roast dumbfounded and not wanting to tell him anything about his suspicions. So Dark Roast should really stop trying to play hero with everybody and sit his ass down somewhere.

Zander, Brady, and Daniel all need to be stabbed in the face and thrown in the river.  They're just fucking insufferable.
