I just found out about it recently and was horrified. Why?!? Sigh. 3 Link to comment

Who will return this time? Ugh...I'm guessing Stefan (no need to pay for another actor!), Freaking Taniel (he's dating AZ aka Nicole and has popped up before) and ...um... geez I don't know.

Panopticon October 26, 2021 Share October 26, 2021 Charlie Dale for Allie and Tripp. (Yay! Allie had a personality last time she confronted Charlie!) Nick Fallon for Gabi. (I loved original, not-evil Nick so this one depresses me.) Not sure for Nicole. Deimos maybe? Her father? There are plenty of options. 1 3 Link to comment
TenaciousWarrior October 26, 2021 Share October 26, 2021 Here is the FALL PREVIEW (From SOD): John/Marlena: Mardevil unleashed. John gets on to her pretty quickly, and she chains him up in the DiMera crypt. November is really like ' The Last Temptation of John Black.' The devil is trying to break him down and corrupt his soul and you'll see exactly how the devil goes about that. It's a great test of John and Marlena's love, and it's a great test o John in general with some great callbacks to the original story. Paulina/Abe: As we're building toward the wedding, we have Paulina trying to decide if she can go ahead with this giant secret about Lani, and we complicate that by having Marlena, the actual devil, performing their ceremony.. The audience has waited for the secret to come out and it's time for the secret to come out. It's a question of how exactly does it happen and what's the fallout. Steve/Kayla: John has vanished and Marlena has told everyone that John is out of town on a case. Since Steve is his partner, this sort of raises Steve's antennae right away. Steve smells a rat here. So while John is chained up and going through his ordeal, we have on the other side, Steve and to some extent, Kayla, trying to figure out what happened to John exactly. So Steve's on the case. Ben/Ciara: Miraculously, Ciara's pregnant! Ben and Ciara are overjoyed and then Susan shows up and senses that there is some kind of danger around this baby. So that starts to get that ball rolling a little bit, like, ' Well, what exactly is that Do they believe Susan? Susan: We know that Susan adores Dr.Marlena Evans and goes to Marlena to say, ' I sense evil around the baby. We've got to do something./ And Susan just starts to sense that Marlena is not acting like her bestie. So that, of course, put Susan right in the devil's cross hairs, not a place you want to be. Doug/Julie: As we get into November and the holidays are approaching, Julie is missing Doug more and more, and doesn't understand the visitor ban. She finally takes matters into her own hands. Nicole/Rafe: They give in to their feelings for each other and sleep together, and instantly eel guilt. Nicole immediately says ' It was a big giant mistake. You're with Ava, I can't be a homewrecker." So she pushes Rafe back towards Ava and she throws herself into something with EJ . But that secret is there bubbling under the surface. Sami: We've all been wondering where Sami is the answer is somewhere in Canada filming Hallmark movies[laughs]. But Sami has been kidnapped, so we will see a captive Sami managing and say I've been kidnapped.' I dont want to say too much about who she calls and what happens when she does. Brady/Chloe/Philip: Philip senses, perhaps rightly so, whatever is going on between Brady and Chloe, which is kin of a sad thing that he can't believe and trust in what he has. In a way he sabotages himself. So you see that escalate in Phillip and he becomes more fixated n more paranoid about what's going on between Brady and Chloe. Kristen: Kristen is back in the mix and in custody, which we know that's a place she doesn't like to be. So Kristen turns to two people who kind of unexpectedly help her out. It puts two people together who you might not expect, and they are drafted into the same mission to help Kristen bust out. Chabby/Gwen: We felt it was time for Abigail to get on to the facts about Gwen's miscarriage and blow Gwen out o the water, which, of course, damages Gwen's relationship to Jack. The one thing she has built that is real is her relationship with Xander. So,when everything is sort of falling apart for Gwen, she's going to cling to Xander as a life preserver and then something happens that makes her realize that she could lose him. I leave it to you to speculate. Kate/Roman: We have been revisiting this relationship an taking steps to getting them together. They are both invited to Abe and Paulina's wedding, so the question of whether they should go together will lead to a break-through in their relationship. 1 3 Link to comment
DisneyBoy October 26, 2021 Share October 26, 2021 (edited) Oy. Kate shouldn't be saddled with Roman. Sorry dude, you aren't posh enough for her. The devil performing Paulina's wedding to Abe? Sounds about right. Psychic Susan is an annoying new character trait they've given her and I wish it would fade away. Though we do agree that the Cin baby is bad news. Philip has gotten a crap storyline. I don't know why they brought him back for this. He isn't even getting interesting father/son scenes with Victor or son/mother scenes with Kate. I hope Julie gets pissed and takes action tomorrow to free Doug. Poor man. This chemical abuse is BS and I don't see how Doc will get a pass for it afterwards. Drugging, isolating and framing a defenseless 96 year old is dark. Edited October 26, 2021 by DisneyBoy 3 Link to comment

Roman's only wiping the bar because he doesn't have a life (love interest) outside of the pub. I'm hoping that Kate can bring that sparkle back into his eyes, in the same way Savannah did for Chris. I know Josh has it in him. The writers just need a way to bring it out...and if Kate does that, I think they could be good together. 8 hours ago, DisneyBoy said: Kate shouldn't be saddled with Roman.

They love Kate(otherwise how else to explain how she's been continuously on this show without a break despite most of her romances going nowhere and her being rather cartoonish in general) too much to saddle her with Roman long term. Then again Kate is a certain age and I guess even they find it stale to write the same story for her there aren't a lot of options left for her at this point. I'd go for Roman/Kate if she gets as much airtime as him which is nonexistent. As for the BFTD people its probably for the Halloween episode and I heard Vincent Irizarry is returning for this and supposedly Blake Berris as well. 2 Link to comment

Nick's homophobia stemming from his rape never made any sense since the men who rape other men in prison are often straight and they use rape as a way to demean other men, it has nothing to do with sexual desires for other men. The same thing goes on in women's prisons, it is straight women who attack other women sexually.. Prison is a scary world and it brings out the worst traits in human beings..
