Spoilers And Shockers

[WendyCR72]

Here is the Tamara Braun time line with her two Days roles. Stupid to hire her as Taylor Walker [Nicole's sister, for the uninitiated] when the show did. But not surprised that Natalia Livingston was replaced. How the hell she ever won a Daytime Emmy mystifies the hell out of me.

Is it any wonder they are not taken seriously anymore?

I just saw a pic on Twitter and it looks like Viv storms the Elani wedding - payback for shooting Stefan I suppose.

Link please!

I stopped taking them seriously a long time ago but yeah I didn't care for her on GH so I doubt she was better on Days either. I don't get how True O'Brien won an Emmy either yet Casey Moss I would've thought he would win it for the JJ suicide attempt episode. 

[CanaryFan98]

I'm also glad to see Ivan again I hate how they trashed Ivan/Vivian's relationship for the Stefan intro. Like Ivan would ever get away with keeping a child from Vivian all these years or that he would even consider doing so either.

The show has never invested in Eric like Sami.. Eric should have been recasted after Jensen left the show.  We also should have had stories with Sami and Eric's bond as twins on the show and how that drives stories for both of them 

Again they should have cast Dan Wells a couple of months after the Man Sami storyline wrapped up. Such a wasted opportunity. I wonder if there was someone he pissed off and that's why Dan Wells never came back. DOOL likes recycling actors. See: Dylan McKay's dad.

Along with many others through the years: Kyle Lowder, Tamara Braun, etc. 

I much preferred Josh Taylor as Jack McKay than him attempting to be Roman(I did like him as Chris K too he and Savannah were a sexy couple). I even liked him as the Hogan dad in The Hogan Family.

Roman should've been killed off for good after Wayne left in 1994. His existence has been rather pointless since.

If they wanted JT have him return as Chris he'd still be tied to the Brady clan.

Drake should just have remained Roman. 

And I say that as someone who preferred Wayne.

I agree that retcon in retrospect proved to be rather pointless. Plus I think it would've made the Brady's ties to the show a lot stronger.

The show should NEVER have had Brady involved with Theresa since John and Kim still considered themselves siblings. Ditto Shawn and Belle where John and Bo were concerned. Seemed gross to me, even if not incestuous by lack of blood relations.

Because of that, John could never revert back, and I think that would have been the best option. (I'd say then Brady would have the name of Brady Victor Brady, but as Black is likely on his birth certificate, it would still be his legal surname in an event that John was Roman. Moot, anyway.)

Brady and Theresa had zero romantic chemistry and Im still appalled that they even had a baby together. They struck me as BFFs and partners in crime. That is the only chemistry they had .

They should have brought back lindsay Hartley as Arianna instad of subjecting us to that horrid EJ/Taylor storyline. Could have easily revealed that Arianna survived and sent to winess protection programme. They should have paired her with EJ.

Everything about this was totally unnecessary from Stefan's existence to Ivan keeping Vivian's baby from her . 

Barash /Tyler should have been Nicholas Alamain. End of story.

Hate to say it, but the Elani wedding sounds pretty good! Nice guest stars, three interruptions...too bad Gabi gets crapped on yet again.

I love how the decorations seem to spell out "L I E" at a quick glance LOL.

Go Brady go. You're overdue for a break. Don't write.

No. The Jack McKay character was on the original Beverly Hills 90210. Apparently, he played Dylan McKay's (played by the late Luke Perry) father.

I can't feel sorry for her at this point; she brings it on herself yet never seems to learn. Go spend time with Ari, if she remembers who you are, Gabi! (Yes, most soap moms are bad, but I swear it has been an ETERNITY since Gabi spent quality time with the poor kid.)

[DisneyBoy]

I can't put that on the character, because it's clear at this point the producers love saving money on the child actors by not having them on screen more than maybe three times a year, even when it makes Gabi look like a spectacularly neglectful mother. I think Ron just wants to write for Sami constantly and Gabi has become Sami for him. Not that I like most of his writing for Sami anyways. I still can't get over the fact that she had Ben re-strangle Will. What kind of crazy sick in the head writer even comes up with that?

[CanaryFan98]

Honestly I could see JER going there with Ben/Will but strangely it would've come across a lot better JER had his flaws but he could tell a story and give a decent payoff at least the first time around.

I don't get that with Ron.

I don't care about the wedding, but Lani and Valerie looks gorgeous.

[Thatoneshow]

Gabi has shown no interest in Elani since the wedding and their only interactions were because they ran into each other. Yet we are to believe that she would just go to this wedding?🙄 Why does this show think we enjoy people yelling at Gabi? there was no need for this when Vivian will be there shortly with a gun.

I am guessing the DNA proves that Jake is Stefan if Gabi will be enlisting Vivian's help. Although I am sure Viv is the one that framed her.

Ben is amused by his murders? Yet he walks around condemning Claire. Can someone strangle him?

Bye bye Brady. I hope you are gone for a long, long time. I hope something happens and Chad doesn't get the shares. Maybe they are sent to a chase Dimentos and he makes a play for the CEO position so Chad can fight him and stop obsessing over Gabi.

They were together, on screen just this week. And Wilson talk about Gabi picking Ari up a lot. None of the people that hate her can even talk about how she isn't an active parent, just that she didn't think of Ari when she did this or that, and Ari will hate her. But Ari still loves her because she is an active mother.

On July 7 Victor is supposed to defend Xander to Sarah.

Guess he really does care about his nephew this time around. This is a far cry from the jerk that was fine throwing him to the wolves after he had no use for him.

IA there acting like Gabi is Sami when she was scheming to break up Carrie and Austin for years Gabi hasn't cared about them in months especially after she found out about Jake lol.

If it has to be shown on screen no one spends time with their children except for Sonny and Will who want to push an unwanted brother or sister on her.

In these troubled times, all I ask for is that Vivian have some amazing one-liners and zingers. Even if Abigail is out of Salem, I expect some potshots at her expense. Her "Schmivian!" gag from her last visit has kept me alive lo these many months.

Vivian always has been one of my favourite characters. I once spent an entire dinner out with my mother explaining "Vivian has Carley buried alive in a coffin", and to this day she still asks about it.

[DisneyBoy]

I completely missed that storyline and only knew Vivian from getting caught up in Kristen's mad schemes in the 90s. And yet, just from her hijinx with Yvon and Kristen back then, I completely loved her when she popped back up for New Year's two years ago.

I hope this isn't a short visit just for the sake of the Jake/Stefan story. I absolutely want to see her interacting with Philip, Kate, Victor, Chad and hell, while we're at it, why not have her throw in her two cents on the whole Allie baby situation. Last time she found a moment to tease Lucas about his sobriety. Now she can tease him about his daughter being knocked up!

PLEASE Lord let her take the piss out of Ciara and Ben 🙂 Give me this one thing!

Wait, did I really just not bring over the rest of the spoilers? Oopsies, sorry y'all! Okay, spoilers from DR for the week of July 6th:

Tuesday, July 7
Justin presses Hope for answers.

Wednesday, July 8
Marlena comforts John as he mourns Steve's departure.

Thursday, July 9
Kayla confronts Steve; John and Marlena learn Allie is pregnant.

Friday, July 10

As shown above, there is an episode on Monday the 6th, DR just chose not to release any spoilers since they'd already been provided in full by TV Guide.

I wonder if Marlena will be the one to tell Sami what is going on with Allie since Alison Sweeney returns to Days the week after this spoiler.

I could see that Marlena would think Sami would need to know and I bet she doesn't tell Eric or Nicole that she told Sami either.

This better be Steve being melodramatic about leaving Salem due to Kayla's pending nuptials; this better not be Stephen Nichols leaving the show once again. I will be pissed if it's the latter.

Natalia Livingston was hired to play Taylor but within a few months the show replaced her Tamara Braun who had previously played Ava a few years earlier. Then some more years later TB comes back again to play Ava.

Thanks for laying that out. So.....Nicole's sister is still involved with Viv's son..?

Seems a weird thing for the show to never mention.

I remember it was mentioned that they broke up. I think when Quinn showed in town again and then promptly disappeared again.

[DisneyBoy]

I wonder how long Viv is staying around...I hope this isn't a quickie drop-in.

[CanaryFan98]

This really shouldn't have been a surprise after hearing the MM news. Stefan was better off staying dead tbh.

Yep and sadly now it makes sense why BB was still filming before the shutdown. I'm so fucking annoyed.

Btw since I'm already annoyed I'll keep bitching about CIN getting a big wedding. I mentioned in the episode thread that considering the significance of the Eli/Lani wedding that it would have been nice if some effort went into it. A friend reminded me about this bullshit, that the serial killer and princess Ciara are getting this (the hell? Is that extras?!) 

 

[CanaryFan98]

Extras are probably people who work for Days that aren't behind a camera.
