"For Orpheus, it’s back to his obsession with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)."

Holy shit, this AGAIN?! It is beyond ridiculous how many men are obsessed with Marlena and how many times she's in danger. I'm already cringing thinking of the inevitable fist fight between John & Orpheus as the damsel in distress watches with concern. Move the fuck on from this, please!

"Watch as Clyde Weston scrambles to save Ben and give him a reason to live. Will the law catch up with Clyde and haul him back to prison before he saves his son?"

Eh, let's hope Clyde is too late AND is hauled back to prison. I'd say that's a win-win!

So once again, everybody wants Doc. It might make sense if everyone is looking for her because she didn't renew her AARP subscription, otherwise, not so much.

If Show MUST do this storyline again, have John and Orpheus go at no later than 9 at night, they all need to be in bed no later than 10.

Oh Clyde? Ben never did have a reason to live, don't go messing with that now.

It would be awesome if the new irascible John just said, "This again? I'm out."

Going to put this interview with RSW here since its spoilerish.

Full of yourself much? In a nutshell fans are freaking out so much at the idea of him leaving but he assures them he'll stick around as long as they actually keep writing for Ben and not just have him float around in the background.

Someone got way too use to being crammed down viewers throats.

WendyCR72 · October 13, 2020

Marlena is NOT all that. There, I said it. And the fact that these septuagenarians are still playing the same stories they had in their 30s and 40s is more than just a little pathetic.

That's fair, though. He's still young and could get other roles. If they backburner his character, why wouldn't he want to move on?

And I will say this for RSW, he gives his scenes his all--I don't think I've ever seem him sleep walk his way through his lines.

He can go, any time he feels not appreciated. I'm sure that all of Hollywood is waiting in breathless anticipation to put his abs, blank stare, and ability to scream CIAAARRRRRRRRRRRA to immediate and good use.

Good grief. Be glad you've got a job, especially now.

Or go. I'll restrain my tears.

His all ain't much.

When do the newly inserted episodes begin to air? I mean the ones that Ron wrote to make sure that the previously tapes episodes aired on the correct holidays?

Peanut6711 · October 13, 2020

I wonder if Joey will catch a ride with Rolf, Orpheus, and Clyde when they break out. 😀I can see the reunion now.

Steve: *shakes head in disapproval* "Son, what did I tell you about hitchhiking?"

And while he's out, I hope Joey kills Ava again while she's back from the dead. (Assuming her return isn't a ~~dream~~ nightmare segment.)

That’s what I’ve been asking and it doesn’t seem like anyone knows lol. Someone here said something about some of the scenes we’re seeing now being filmed post-lockdown but I don’t know if that’s true or not.

SueB · October 13, 2020

Eric kidnapped and presumed dead is the best Ericole outcome at this time. It leaves them as a happy, married couple with a new tragedy but just like other super-couples, that's par.

That way, when they get a new Eric and he comes back (IF the go that route), we have the opportunity for soap-standard "torn between two lovers" bit for Nicole. Or she could simply be the championing widow for a year or two.

howmanywords · October 13, 2020

More important and better actors than RSW have had to take a break from being on the frontburner for a very long time. Of course he may go if he feels they aren't bowing down to his greatness. I'd welcome it!

Here is the exact quote. IMO it reeks of entitlement

But as long as they’re writing for me… as long as I’m not just floating by in the story at DAYS, I don’t plan on leaving. I’ve found someplace where I want to give it my all, and I expect that on both sides. As long as they’re writing for me, I’m not going anywhere.”

Someone suggested she could be Harper's kid and I think that would be better Jack would have a sister and she wouldn't be tied to most of Salem either. Although if she were Harper's kid wouldn't she have an axe to grind with Steve/Kayla?

I know but considering this show had Mimi said she was barren after her abortion and then Emily came along this could be just as easily retconned. That being said I don't see the show caring enough about Harper to go through that trouble.

I got a question here. Why do these headwriters enjoy ...ahem ......urinating on each other's work ?

Why is it that writers on this show have no respect for the writers that came before them ?

If I was headwriter ,i would respect J.Reilly's decision to make Mimi Sterile after her abortion . I would respect Harper being made sterile . I would respect the writers who SORAS'd Belle ,Shawn and Philip and adjusted their year of birth to 2004 and not force SORAS Claire to be an adult when the math age of her and her parents clearly doesnt allow this . That is why Abby wasnt SORASd when Brady got SORAS'd because Jen herself was 31 years old since she got SORASd and had her year of birth to 1970 . It would have been nonsensical for a 31 year old woman to have a teen close to adulthood . Atleast John's age allowed for Belle and Brady to be succesfully SORASd.

Even if I didnt like some of his decisions. Some things you can change sure but major stuff like Mimi being sterile as well as Harper Devereaux's sterility simply should be left alone because they played major parts in their character development .

Ultimately this rotten attitude is the fault of Ken Corday and its a damning indictment of his horrible leadership skills afterall he enables this sort of behaviour.

to be fair most women who are sterile on soaps end up having a miracle pregnancies there's very few that I can think of that didn't have miracle pregnancy.

I wouldn't. I'd reverse that "abortion causes sterility" trope so damn fast.

I'm surprised we haven't had spoilers for after this week. Don't we usually get something a week or so out?

I have a hard time believing the show would care enough about Lucas to go through this trouble but at least it would be something different between Lucas and Nicole.

I'd take it over Lucas/Bonnie or a Brady/Nicole retread where she will dump him for someone else.

Lord help the actress who plays Gwen if the scenes today were post-Covid's arrival. She must have had those fingers in her mouth a dozen or more times. Yuk.

Irlandesa · October 14, 2020

Would it kill the show to make Gwen pre-Jenn?

worleybird · October 14, 2020

For those wondering episodes through Monday, October 19th were partially taped the week of March 9-13 and partially taped from September 1-4.

Episodes from October 20-27 were taped between September 7-11.

They are currently on "Production Suspended" (whatever that means) . Weeks of October 12 and 19.

Week of October 26-30 they will be filming episodes that will air December 9-18.

Just saw in the Behind the scenes thread that someone from the production crew tested positive for the 'Rona and that was why production was shut down for 14 days.

Who knows ,perhaps Gwen is the daughter of Trent Davis , the DiMera goon who was hired by Peter Blake to kidnap Jen . This was when Mark Valley's Jack climbed the Grand Canyon to rescue Jen from Travis's clutches. Travis later fell to his death .

Or perhaps Gwen is former DA Carson Palmer 's daughter .

Carson is the disgraced DA who was arrested on live tv . He was arrested on jack and Jen's shortlived talk show by Bo and Abe .

brisbydog · October 14, 2020

The most interesting theory I've seen is that she is Sally's baby (the one Jennifer was going to foster prior to Jack's past making it impossible). That would tie us back to the beginning of Jack and Jen's story and would make Gwen the right age and also explain the lack of real interest in Jack himself and more her obsessing about Abby. But that would take writers really looking into character history

Except why would Sally's baby care more about the children of Jack and Jennifer than Jack and Jenn themselves--the duo who tried to foster her?

Cause they got a charmed upbringing and she did not?

Frozendiva · October 14, 2020

A lot of people don’t have charmed upbringings.

Irlandesa · October 14, 2020

And a lot of people on this show do have charmed upbringings so the show will still have to do some work to explain why Abby, specifically, was the chosen target before Abby and Gwen even met (IIRC).

It's not that I hate the idea of Sally's daughter eventually showing up. She'd be someone unrelated with a connection(ish) to the show, but I don't trust this show to make Gwen being that girl to make sense.

But Soap Dirt is frustrating to me as a spoiler site. So much spec.

More on Gwen.

It's sounds like Gwen is finally targeting Jack - via hurting Abigail but at least it's not going to be all about Abby from here on out. I do think she's going to turn out to be Jack's daughter conceived after Abigail was born, which is dumb because the Gwen actress looks older than either version of Abby. I'd rather she not be Jack's daughter because, as some have said, it is nice that the Deverauxs are the only family with full siblings and no half-sibs or step-sibs. Plus, J&J will always be my favorite couple and I hate that Jack fathered a kid with someone else, but alas. I also think making Gwen Jack's daughter is only a recent development, there's no way that was the plan when she first came on the show. Back then she was all about feuding with Gabi over Jake and whatever the hell mob ties she & Jake had from their time in Philly. All I know is poor JJ won't even garner a mention as his family faces turmoil.

Irlandesa · October 14, 2020

One thing I do kind of like is the thought that there's a big reveal before a big party. Now, I'm guessing there won't be a big party because of budget and COVID but the idea reminds me of when there used to be big parties with sometimes multiple big secrets revealed. Kinda fun.

And so until I see the anemic reality of it, I will remember the good years.

Of course not. However given the current state of the show this is a blessing in disguise. I wish Casey Moss could find a better gig though.

There was a leaked audition video that was floating around earlier today (and now deleted) that pretty much gave away that Ciara is alive and being held captive somewhere. So of course we have to see Hope leave thinking her daughter is dead and you know of course, again Ben will be the hero 🙄

This is why I'm glad KA didn't film an exit storyline she would've exalted Ben's virtues.. and hard pass.

Silver Raven · October 15, 2020

The scene where Jack and Jennifer were talking about his not being there when Abigail was a baby is a pretty good hint that his missing periods are associated with Gwen.

Ugh to the Seige 2.0 - couldn't they have filled these extra episodes with something else more meaningful? I would rather see Steve and Kayla working through more of their obvious issues so their reunion feels more satisfying....or maybe Philip telling Claire about how he spent the last few years...

....I'm hoping the JJ return is so he can support friendless Melinda in her justice campaign against Kristen.

If I understand this math correctly, they film for 5 days and get 8 episodes? They are six weeks ahead of airing and getting father ahead each week get farther ahead. The two-week shut down puts them back to six weeks ahead again.

Is that the right of things?

In other thoughts, that story was mostly speculation? I agree with the speculation, makes sense to me. A couple of note:
- Emily (who plays Gwen) is a Brit. And she's speaking in a Contemporary RP accent (I believe)- which could mean nothing(just her normal voice) OR could signal we are not to know where Gwen came from. RP is given a variety of associations but generally 'broadcaster' and 'well-educated' are in the vein of what it infers. It hides where you come form and can be sometimes considered more formal. So IF the accent is on purpose, I'd say Gwen did not live in poverty - she had a proper education. If I look at her comfort with the family scotch decanter and servants, I'd even suspect money in her upbringing. JUST speculating. But while her upbringing may not have wonderful and supporting, I'll be surprised if it was impoverish.
- I just can't with the tear stained grainy footage we're going to get of Ciara. And Hope not being there for it.

So Marlena will once again get kidnap, wow! how original, Ron? You are living up to your nickname, Reron. Marlena should have security at all times, this is ridiculous. These Marlena in distress storylines are now stale and she should be suffering from PTSD from the many time she has suffered trauma over the years.

Peanut6711 · October 15, 2020

While I agree Marlena in distress is a repeat that's been airing practically on a loop since the '80s, I'm just glad to have Orpheus and his delightfully snarky comments back. (If only he could get his old wardrobe back too.) But I do love when he insults and one ups the Salemites. Also pull the trigger, Rolf! Pull the trigger!

I do love Orpheus but he should have remained dead or he should have come back when Marlena came back from the dead in the 90's. I hated that the show made Stefano be behind her disappearance years ago when it was Orpheus.. It was the beginning of Stefano being a supervillain that took away from his mystique in my opinion..

The last time that Marlena was kidnapped and had repercussions that drove stories for years was the pit storyline.. I absolutely adored that story because it was not a gimmick, it was about Marlena and what makes her tick, her resilience and her willingness to fight to survive her ordeal..
