The rumor is that Vivian might have been the one to take possession of Tater Tot. Sge used to be married to Victor, right? Would they still be on good enough terms to cooperate on this?

 

I'd love to see Theresa go up against Viv.

Orpheus was a villain that was in the Stockholm storyline.....Stockholm started out as Victor's revenge against Shane/Kim...Mostly Shane, he set him up for treason...It later morphed into Orpheus trying to hurt Jarlena..John who was Roman back then. It was an umbrella story that featured Victor, John as Roman, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Kim, Shane,Steve and Kayla...Kayla was mostly caught in the crossfire, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time...He kidnapped Kayla and Steve later rescued her...Bo went undercover pretending to want to get close to Victor as his son, causing angst for him and everybody,especially Hope...Orpheus' vendetta was against Roman who  killed his wife by accident, during a sting operation, leaving his two children without a mother..He was targeting Jarlena.. He did kidnap Marlena to raise his son and daughter....John was hellbent on rescuing her..It was a long story, and so damn good...The best umbrella story....Days will never be that good..Orpheus was a great villain and not a cartoon like Stefano...The actor was wonderful as well...He and Deidre had terrific chemistry as adversaries..

I agree with this 1,000% but I have to note Orpheus was gone before Inheritance Baby Corday, and his roving band of horrendous writers had the opportunity to gut and otherwise destroy the character the way they did with Stefano, Jack, Bo, Steve, Jennifer, Hope, etc., etc.  so while I am excited in theory, I fear what these losers will do to gut the love we long time viewers have for Orpheus.  I mean, look at who they have him paired with, this can't end well.

As an aside, I always thought that the only thing that could have made the Orpheus more killer would have been if he was revealed to be Stefano's nephew.  I mean how is it that Stefano had six brothers and the only progeny was Andre, who has now been retconned to be Stefano, meaning he was the only Diemra brother who reproduced.  

I rewatched the promo twice trying to figure out why Paul, if I were any blander, I'd make air taste like it has flavor, was at the wedding and then I remembered they are still trying to sell us on his being John's son.

I read somewhere that LS, who played Vivian had a pretty nasty break from the show and that the shower nears had treated her pretty crappily, surprise, surprise, so it's doubtful she will return, but you never know.

Was there more than one Stockholm storyline?  I remember Stockholm with Bo & Steve and Britta, and remember when Bo pretended to get close to Victor, but I'm not remembering Orpheus.

No. It was all one story. Orpheus appeared after Brittany died and it was implied that he was the one who killed her. I don't recall if it was explicitly stated but he was the one killing the people in Sweden.

My only complaint about the promo is the fact that Orpheus would be put  in the same category as Xander and Clyde...They would be his foot soldiers and not his equal in figuring out how to destroy  his enemies.. He can give them a master class on that..Orpheus had Marlena during her missing years, when she was presumed  dead...I have to remember that this is Dena Higley..The woman is incapable of writing a good story...

That promo seriously depresses me because I have a feeling Xander will kill Theresa.  I was really hoping they wouldn't bump her off and leave an opening for Jen Lilley if she wanted to come back, but knowing this show, it won't happen.

I also don't want to see Clyde or Xander ever again.  This Orpheus fellow looks interesting though.  

Some people were saying Days may not even return after the Olympics.  What do you all think?

Holy shit! I can't remember the last time a promo got me so excited. Xander, Clyde and Orpheus?! Yes please!

Of course its returning and that's been known for a while considering all the behind the scenes pictures that are out there from last few months. Where do these crazy rumors start?

Wow!  The promo does look awesome.  Hopefully:

1.  Kate will return to her murderous ways and kill that dirty hillbilly dead.

2.  Theresa will quickly dispatch Xander with a fireplace poker that just happens to be laying about.  

3.  Orpheus will stick around in a true, old-time umbrella story that makes sense and is enjoyable.

Orpheus was before my Days-viewing time but I've heard about him before on this board.  I'm very appreciative that we have so many generous DOOL long-timers here willing to share the show's history with us.  Wish I'd started watching Days a long time ago.

I actually liked the fact that Orpheus was not a Dimera....Orpheus was the one that took Marlena and made everybody think that she was dead...When she came back, they retcon it to have been Stefano all along, to set up the tale of the two Romans..I could be wrong...They did the same thing with Steve and Hope....Lawrence and Ernesto killed them...Plus, the show should have brought on Stefano's other brothers to Salem at some point, it would have been interesting to see them...Were they all evil or was Stefano just an anomaly..Stefano was interesting and nuanced in the 80's based on the clips that I have seen online...He became a cartoon in the 90's and became omnipotent as time went on....

Oh I don't mean Orpheus should have been related to Stefano beyond the point in the 80s when the show was well-written and tons of stories were retconned, I was talking about when the show was nuanced, well-written and had depth.  This connection would have been interesting then, having Orpheus be like original recipe Tony was, someone who wanted no part of Dimeradom, who was driven to madness by the death of his wife.  But then I still think that John should have been revealed to behe real Roman and WN was a guy who much like DH's Roman had his face altered and memory erased. I also never bought the original story swap the unDimeraed Tony, because we had Andre running around and they kept telling us that Andre was able to be made over into Tony with minimal effort because the cousins looked and sounded so much alike.  There are so many things I would have changed, but alas, I'm just s lowly viewer.

If that is true, at least Theresa will not be collateral damage as is often the case.  She lied about Xander trying to sexually assault her and he went to jail (this is why I was never sold on new and improved Theresa, I do like JL though). If Xander takes her out, Theresa will be on the receiving end of the ultimate chickens coming home to roost.  

Besides, don't you know only Abby is worthy of a recast to keep the door open for the awful snowflake to return if she wishes.

I posted the link to the Louise Sorel Dishin' Days interview in the behind the scenes thread, and she said that she doesn't expect to be asked to come back. So no Vivian as the baby's kidnapper.

All the signs point to a Theresa funeral, with Kim and Shane are back around the same time JL exits. Plus the picture of the actor who plays the priest.  But JL mentions in interviews about hoping to return to DOOL someday, which unless she means as a ghost, Theresa doesn't die.  Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Maybe Theresa fakes her death with Tate to live away from Salem where Victor can't touch them? But Brady and Shane and Kim all know the truth...?

He scared me too.  Before Marlena knew what he looked like, she was kidnapped by someone else (rogue ISA?? I don't remember). She escaped, was wandering the streets of Stockholm and asked him for his help.  Am I making this up?  The memory is fuzzy.  He was so menacing.  He kidnapped Kayla, had her on a boat, and poor Kayla was pretty crying when Steve saved her.  It was glorious.  He also locked Steve and Kayla in a storm drain in Stockholm and turned the water on.  They almost drowned, leading to the most romantic walk down the fake streets of Stockholm ever.  Seriously, catch that scene somewhere, because it is just so romantic and sweet. Ahhhhh

At some point Marlena was in a coma and she had pertinent information about Orpheus. I also remember that the tattoos that Britta, Bo and Steve had all had some type of meaning that was important to either Victor or Orpheus.....What I loved about the story was that it propelled more stories for our heroes. Kim and Shane were still dealing with the fallout from her affair with Victor and Andrew's kidnapping, Bo and Hope were dealing with his paternity issues, Kayla and Steve fell deeper in love and Adrienne came on the scene.. Bo and Steve came to an understanding about Britta..Roman and Marlena were reconnecting as husband and wife.....Victor was becoming more human...lol....

Yes, he had a son and a daughter that mirrored Marlena's own children. They were the same age as them..I think the show was setting up some possible storylines for the future...Orpheus' children should have come back for revenge on Jarlena's kids...Rex and Cassie should have been his kids...Missed opportunity to use the past to create stories for the legacy children...

If you lined the tattoos up together it led to a where a map was hidden, and that led to the bonds, which were valuable, everyone wanted to find them - is that right?  Loved the scenes of Steve and Roman posing as construction workers in Stockholm.  Everyone was involved in the story.  DIdn't it start with Bo and the whole treason thing and Shane being falsely accused?  I might be melting stories together.  But Orpheus blamed Roman for the death of his wife.  They were ISA partners and somehow his wife was killed, can't remember how.  He blamed Roman and wanted revenge through Marlena.  Everyone was scared of him.  Really scared of him.  I mean, Orpheus is a much scarier name than Stefano.  :)

Stockholm started with Victor's hatred of Shane over Kim,  setting him up ; and then it morphed into something totally different.. Orpheus' revenge on Roman for killing his wife by accident..The show was so good at writing their stories back then, they kept you in the edge of your seat. The difference between Victor and Stefano was that they could never really pin anything on Victor, he always kept his hands clean...It made his continuous presence in Salem much more believable than Stefano who lived side by side with his victims.

After watching the preview, I still feel the show is in a slump.

I feel like I'm tired of the sets, and I'm tired of weird wedding dresses that don't look like anything the character would actually wear and even seeing the entire cast assembled in one room to have someone arrested for a scandalous crime doesn't elicit any feelings at all.

I don't know anything about Orpheus but I'm betting his return will probably be about as satisfying as Ava's. Him pulling a gun at a wedding screams desperation. I doubt he will be around for long.

I definitely want to see closure with Clyde and Kate and also with Sonny and Sami...but time will tell how many of his evil deeds will come to light in a satisfying way. He is indirectly responsible for killing both EJ and Will, making Ben into a psychopath and offing that young drug dealer that JJ was working with. That could make for a really interesting story in the hands of decent writers. In fact, all I would need to enjoy the show again is seeing Clyde back on for 2 months terrorizing people and ultimately paying for his terrible crimes as they cleverly come to light. But this show won't do that...so how excited can I be?

I am pretty much out when Theresa goes.

Happy Victor will finally be behind bars, though.

I love your post and it is so true..My expectations are very low, when it come to that Hack Dena.....She knows how to write events, but, that is it. There is no depth to anything that she writes...She is all flash with no substance.. She will push her pets like Rafe and Ava, to the detriment of beloved characters..It is  mind boggling to me,that she has was part of the writing team during the show's glory days and she learned absolutely nothing from the likes of  Sherry Anderson, Thom Racine and Leah Lamain....

I've been watching the show for far too many years, but don't really remember Orpheus. Maybe my brain has lost a few brain cells since back then.

Ha! Yeah, the name brings to mind a DJ fashion line, for me. Like flashy baseball caps and oversized Tees. So wanted to see Theresa snap out if it and change the name to something better.

I'm just massively bummed that because the new business has no office or staff on-screen, we never see Anne, who is supposedly managing things. This show severely misses opportunities. Seeing Theresa in an environment of her own and Anne actually enjoying her work (compared to the hospital) would have been so nice.

...I think the stories we imagine in our heads are way better than what the producers cook up.
