Holy Bleep to that KM praise. That actual living people feel that way about her scares me.

Her mom is at it again...

[howmanywords]

I really hope this bomb Ava drops on Steve isn't that he is the father of a baby she had..So boring and predictable.

 

So ready for Deimos!

They even said she will win the Oscar someday.

I tend to not to come for people's opinions when it's their fav. actor in daytime, but I felt this letter was written by 12 year olds(hence the two names who sent it via email) that didn't know any better or maybe someone who's trying lure her off the show by saying she's some great thespian (which is great for alot of us if she takes their word for it

I thought you weren't going to watch it? Remember, the only way to still enjoy this show is to not watch!

*escorts you away sympathetically*

I know. I was bored at lunch so I watched the clip. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. LOL

Thank you for being my emotional support, though.

[LeftPhalange]

If they had said KM is the best actress in soaps that would be one thing. That would be false, but whatever. But to claim that she's the best actress in all of tv, film, and theater is just ridiculous. Why can't anyone praise her without being so over the top with it.

 

So Chad and Abifail will get married and then what? They won't let him have a job, friends, enemies, or any other love interests so I guess their marriage will consist of him being a stay at home dad while she cheats on him.

 

So Belle cheated on Shawn and has shown absolutely no interest in saving her marriage but is surprised when Shawn files for divorce. Whatever. 

 

So there's going to be another murder AND Dan is going to die in a car crash? How many more people are going to die?

[Lastwaltz]

Yes, another murder?? And then the previously-spoiled car crash...the first I'm seeing Jennifer behind the wheel, too. Looks like there are some surprises in store. 

[swtrgrl]

ANOTHER murder? Are you freakin' kidding me? I know about the crash and what that entails but wasn't aware of another murder. 

[LeftPhalange]

And what about Stefano? There are rumors that he's supposed to be killed off.

Propaganda like this is why I stopped buying soap magazines years ago.  I don't know why the woman is able to generate such hyperbole, but wish she'd believe the hype and leave Days forever.

[swtrgrl]

And what about Stefano? There are rumors that he's supposed to be killed off.

While I'd be sad to see JM go, this could work. Like I said before: get rid of Andre...and the whole SUPER EVIL Dimeras...have Chad step up and be the morally ambiguous anti-hero living in shades of grey. THAT is compelling.

[howmanywords]

And what about Stefano? There are rumors that he's supposed to be killed off.

 

Yeah I'm wondering if it is him murdered in cold blood. That would surely shake Salem up and would make for a good murder mystery.  I love Joe M. but I would be fine with him bowing out if his health prevents him from being up to still acting.

[BlackMamba]

And what about Stefano? There are rumors that he's supposed to be killed off.

My best guess those rumours of Stefano getting axed might be true from what I read in 2016 preview SOD. The question is will this be another set up on Hope and will it be Deimos!

We echo the same language

The thing is they did this before in 2012 under TomSell. Stefano died before Lexie’s death.

Based off the tweet Thaao unleashed, one can assume now, whoever kills daddy-o will be: Hope (she will be the primary suspect) , Kate, and Chad.

[Dandesun]

Soap car accidents will never not have a semblance of pure comedy to them. Anytime you see someone driving, you know something horrible is about to happen. Why can't people just use the teleporter like normal?! None of them know how to drive!

Kassie Depaiva leaves February

Let's hope Eve doesn't die.

[SanDiegoInExile]

Eve hasn't been in Salem.  Instead, some 8-foot tall southern rail thin alleged "singer" has darkened out doorsteps. That's not the coy, street-smart, manipulative, snarky, spitfire with Daddy Issues we knew so well.  DOOL blew chunks on this recast, and wasted yet another alleged soap superstar talent. Can't blame KDP too much on this, as she has to make $$$ now that no-no found another spokesperson.  The whole "Eve Returns" string of dreadful storylines fell flat.  I partly wonder if Charlotte Ross looked at the projected "Eve" stories and ran away screaming.

[boes]

I'll really miss KDP. I know she wasn't everyone's favorite. But at least since CR made it clear she'd not be returning, Show hired someone with talent.

Perhaps I should just be grateful for that.

Amen to this! You described Charlotte's Eve perfectly. And yes, it's no knock against KDP, who did as much as she could with what they gave her. 

 

I do remember that Charlotte had a beautiful voice and I have vivid memories of her singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" in a scene about Nick. I couldn't find that clip, but I found this lovely (Apprentice would love this): Charlotte Ross as Eve singing at Wings circa 1989:

I actually grew into liking Kassie as Eve. At first, I was like "WTH.." now shes won me over and wish she didn't go. Killing off that vapid nothing Paige really brought the acting out of Kassie. Wishing her luck in future endeavors

So the preview pretty much gives away that Chad is the father I guess? And ugh not looking forward to this car crash. 

[buffynut]

http://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/spoilers

 

Monday January 4:

Abigail urges Chad to believe Thomas is his son.

 

Tuesday January 5:

John offers to make a huge sacrifice for Brady.

 

Wednesday January 6:

Nicole says a final goodbye to Daniel.

 

Thursday January 7:

Ava 'accidentally' leaves evidence of her secret for Steve to find.

 

Friday January 8:

Hope and Stefano have an epic confrontation.

Nicole and Chloe reunite in their mutual grief.

[Peanut6711]

So I'm guessing once again it will be a long New Year's Eve if Nicole doesn't say good-bye to Daniel till the 6th.  

 

Nothing in the new year looks promising. And the Ava storyline is just lame, cliched, and a slap in the face to Steve and Kayla fan.

These are some juicy spoilers. Thanks for the find Buffy .

It still annoys me that Nicole and Chloe are BFFs. Ain't no way in the world Nicole would be my friend if she put flesh eating bacteria on my face to make me ugly. Stupid writers who came after Tom Langan should had kept that up that rivalry.

As for Daniel's funeral, he's probably going to have the best funeral ever in the history of Days. He might get a gold casket since that character has always been treated like the show's golden boy.

Why do get the feeling Hope is going to bring a gun to Stefano's and they will have an all out struggle and bang bang.

[howmanywords]

I hate Daniel and I'm sad just reading these lol Maybe because I love Nicole and I'm rooting for her to be happy. Maybe also because I'm just burnt out on all the recent deaths.

 

Looking at these again and I'm wondering if Brady is also involved in the accident and needs an organ to be saved? John offers but Daniel ends up being the donor? I'm thinking along those lines because of the other spoiler that was also posted about 2 people Maggie loves are at risk and she has to choose to save one or something like that.

Edited December 26, 2015 by howmanywords

[BlackMamba]

I wonder will Maggie hit the bottle soon.

How could she not. Another child of hers will be dead and Victor looking up at Caroline's Depends draws again.

That'll send someone to a relapse.

[BlackMamba]

So the logic now if you leave Days you get killed off instead of recasting Daniel. Daniel should had been recasted. Im not a fan of the character but a strong actor in the role would had been a great idea.

[Rick Kitchen]

 

Nicole and Chloe reunite in their mutual grief.

 

So are they going to kill Parker, too?

[BlackMamba]

So are they going to kill Parker, too?

Chloe is probably emotional because she has to actually have to be a mother now since she has put her career first all these years.

[DisneyBoy]

A few things...

I'm not saying you have to root for Victor/Caroline, but let's not poo-poo the storyline because those involved are over 50. Okay 60. Ageism is really stupid and comments about "Caroline's Depends" are really disrespectful to the actress who gets up to work everyday and entertain us. Hopefully, we'll all make it to her age and still be working and living life. I see nothing wrong with an older person having a love storyline and would rather we didn't bash those involved for *gasp* being grandparents or in their Golden Years. Respect.

I thought the preview looked good. Dan's death comes out of left field, but otherwise things seemed interesting. Belle and Chad is unexpected and Theresa's career taking off looks awesome.

I'm looking forward to the next two weeks and will probably tune in.

Definitely don't want Hope offing Stefano, though. I know they have history but I think Kate or Sami or Chad or Marlena would be better.

First of all, Im talking about the characters NOT the Real life people. Big difference. If you can't take a jokes about the characters than I dont know what to say. We've all said things about these characters that is whether colorful. No big deal IMO. I'm sure the actors, writers and the producers won't mind at least we are talking about the show good, bad and indifferent.

Maybe this forum like the others should start creating appreciation and anti-appreciation threads so there won't be so much sensitivity. JS.

[boes]

Even in death Daniel will be a pain, since it appears that's what brings Chloe back.  

Sorry to her fans, but I think Nadia Bjorlin is right up there in the John Paul Lavoisier talent category of HAVING NONE.  So her returns fills me with....abdominal pain.

 

I hope Parker is okay. That kid is a good actor.

 

If Doctor Tan the Dan Man does leave Nicole pregnant with his miracle sperm, you all think the baby will be born tan, with 'tude and a board?  Cuz he be the cool one's kid....

 

Oh!  Just try and imagine Melanie and her lip smacking and hair chewing at Daddy's funeral.....

 

There's gonna be a lot of pain, alright....

 

How much you want to bet neither of Maggie's daughters, or her other grandson make it back for the funeral?

[BlackMamba]

Boes you're right. Nadia isn't a great actress but thankfully what saved her all those years on Days during the Tom Langan years he took her ability to sing and grabbed it and found a way to make her a soap heroine. I thought she did good with the cancer storyline before she and Kyle Lowder left the show.

I haven't trusted any writing regime since TL that was able to make her enjoyable since. They really turned her character on a dime into a bitch or they had no idea to write for her and put her in one shitty pairing after the next which sucked since I was a big Broe fan and they never revisted once they got Eric Martsolf nor when she was with Brandon Beemer in real life Shawn-D which would had been super hot IMO. Hell, I can over look Nadia's not so great acting if you give her a sexy leading man opposite of her like Brady, Shawn D (BB ONLY) or even Rafe's brother coming to town and sexy triangle. And don't pair her with the Keystone oil slip JPL! Two not so great actors in a pairing screams FFWD material.

Ugh... and Melanie is coming back. That's one show eater that could had stayed gone. If she comes back on full time I have no idea how I'm going to handle that. Dena Higley tried to make her a thing even fucking centering the show around her for a couple of years til she made her Carly and Daniel's long lost forgotten child. I was never a big fan of the actress at all. And that sex scene she had with Brady, pair me, it was like a grown man and ateenager. All that was missing was R Kelly behind the camera saying "Lights camera PEE". Just not cute.

How much you want to bet neither of Maggie's daughters, or her other grandson make it back for the funeral?

Again they are going to get the gold (not red) carpet treatment. I wouldn't be surprised if St Lukes church is opened for this epic event! But they couldn't do all this for Bo who was the show's hero for 3 decades. Edited December 26, 2015 by BlackMamba

I'm not looking to single you out or be argumentative, believe me. It just makes me sad when characters are dismissed based on their age, and yes, that does extend to the actors. My heart breaks for Joe M, having to leave the show he's dedicated decades of his life to simply because his physical capacities aren't what they used to be. Yes, we can snigger about how lacklustre Stefano has been in recent months, but I would like to see the writers give him material that puts him in the best light and plays to his strengths. It can be done.

If you don't feel Caroline/Peggy is best served by this storyline, okay. But to mock the idea of her being romantically appealing to anyone based on her age is rather cruel and shortsighted. And the diaper comment was essentially that. A joke, okay, but harsh. And yes, we do need to watch ourselves on that. Heck, the other day I joked Abby should be dead. Also harsh, but purely based on the writing and performance style...all of which are within people's ability to control. You'd think the PTB might change something!

I'm glad this is a show where characters of a certain age still contribute. Those shows with nothing but lean 20-somethings are so dull to me. I say let them have love affairs, mysteries to solve, power plays to make and lessons to learn. We all will, right up until our final days. Just maybe with less crazy.

And I have no problem with Broe becoming a thing (again?) They seem to have great chemistry, going by clips of them from early 2013...

It would be a great way to gradually free Theresa up for a new Brady-free life.

Edited December 26, 2015 by DisneyBoy

[LeftPhalange]

I just think by the time you're in you're 60s+ you should be allowed to settle down with someone and not have to deal with anymore love triangles. If they don't want Caroline to be alone they could give her a companion or something. This just seems so unnecessary. Caroline/Maggie/Victor can still be given stories, individually or together, that doesn't involve partner swapping. 

[BlackMamba]

Exactly Left!

Alice Horton, remember her, she was alone after Tom died for 2 decades before the actress died and she was one of the most beloved, cared for, talk-too matriarchs in soap history. Why does Caroline have to be in a love triangle to stay viable??? She can stil be a viable character without splitting up Maggie/Victor's marriage like an Alice Horton. It's just unrealistic as hell to have 70-80 year olds showing out like this. Now if Victor was say Victor Newman on YR and he had two 40 or 50 year old women fighting over his 70+ years old self, that I could believe. But not two 70 or 80 year old women or at least they shouldn't be nor Maggie shouldn't be insecure at this point in her life worried if her marriage will survive or not because of "the other woman" in her age bracket. My grandmother would had told Victor off had he wanted his baby mama to come live at their house. She would had showed his ass the door without a fight.

Plus is this a love triangle water cooler or make you rush house material - hell no! Unless, they start reenacting scenes from On Golden Pond or everyone's beloved comedy The Golden Girls and making it tongue in cheek then maybe I could have fun with it.

Lastly if you love the triangle that's fine too! But I'm sure mines or anyone's person opinion or cracking a few distasteful jokes around here will not effect it since Days films 6 months ahead of schedule. Who knows by May Sweeps they might kill off Maggie and Caroline/Victor will finally live happily ever after.

Edited December 26, 2015 by BlackMamba

[jlrd2000]

So Chad is the father.....big surprise there. NOT. Once again, the show has decided to play it safe and let the good guy be the father. This could have played out so well considering Chad's "I can't be with you because he is Ben's son" speech just days ago. Lots of emotional and meaningful angst lost. This is not plausible or factual even for a soap. Abifail would have only been 5 1/2 months along at the time of the birth for Chad to be the father. Maybe she had one of those Bella from Breaking Dawn pregnancies. It's just insane!

[buffynut]

Another forum I lurk on had a administrator who confirmed Brady is involved in the accident.  So the speculation that he will need a transplant is rampant there.  Someone even wondered if Victor will need a new heart, since we keep seeing Caroline's vision, and the spoiler about 2 loved ones, though I guess Brady could be one of them.  Could also be Jennifer, since she is shown behind the wheel of the car.

 

Regarding Caroline, and Victor and Maggie, I am loving their storyline/triangle right now.  Caroline and Victor have their special history together (Alice didn't have a long-lost love, at least not that we know of.  Today's writers probably would have given her one!), so I get their special relationship.  And I love seeing the looks of jealously from Maggie.  But I don't want Victor and Maggie to break up, even though I don't know why they got together in the first place!

 

I did read an interview with Suzanne Rogers that seemed to imply she would have a big story coming up in the new year.  Not sure if it's just the accident, but it sounded like it would be a challenging storyline.  Maybe she does start drinking again.

 

Whatever the writers come up with for their older actors, I'm going to try to enjoy, because I love the fact that so many actors in the late 60's to late 80's(!!!!!) are still able both healthwise and jobwise to work.

 

As for Stefano, I saw another blurb somewhere, that pretty much said that, yes, the actor was fired and Stefano killed off.  And that JM was devastated.  And that shortly after the writers/producers had a change of heart and that JM was back as Ghost Stefano.  Hopefully that is true, because JM is another actor, that doesn't deserve to be dumped like trash when he's given so much of his life to the show.

 

And, believe it or not, despite the fact that I hate the character of Daniel, I feel a bit bad for the actor, who was such a HUGE part of the show for so long, not only having his character backburnered for weeks, but now being killed off.   In fact, I feel bad for all the actors who have been fired since the new regime started, even though I'm the first to say how much the show has improved.

Honey, don't feel bad. Shawn Christian has been the producer favorite since 2008 the minute he started. He has even been in the most episodes the last couple of years during several writing regimes without a major story at times. The only thing I do feel sorry for him at is the fans at other forums and social media makes it seem like it's his fault that the writers and producers forced us to care for his character. I've said before Shawn Christian could had been a huge fan favorite had they casted him as Mike Horton instead of some wonder with no family connections and forced him in one crappy pairing after another. Allegedly his exit wasn't the show's doing, apparently (as I posted from a Facebook post), he's getting new work off soaps. Yet the show (for those that liked his character) should had went ahead and recasted. It's not like Daniel was Bo. Daniel was recastable part if they wanted. Days needs to get to where who should be killed off, who should be recasted and which characters that should be written off and get an exit storyline - SMARTLY. Just killing people off who don't want to stay full time anymore or they've found other career paths seems now to be lazy writing. Daniel could had went to Africa to help children with AIDS or cancer with Laura Horton and he and Nicole should had had an organic breakup these last few months and left his miracle sperm. But the writers decided DEATH was the easy option AGAIN.

The Dan/Eric/Nicole thing is so strange. Why have they been heavily back burnered? I'm not a fan of Dan but I think it's sad that he's been non existent for months then they bring him back a few episodes before his death, just like they did with Will. I wonder if he'll even get any nice scenes with Maggie, Nicole, and Parker. 

 

Jen Lilley revealed that Theresa and Nicole will interact in May but those scenes would have been shot in November or December so that doesn't necessarily mean Ari Zuker is still filming. I don't recall seeing any spoilers about Nicole other than her mourning Dan. 

 

Eric hasn't been seen in months but now he could possibly be the cause of the car crash that kills Dan. We have no idea how long ago Greg Vaughn stopped filming so who knows how long Eric will still be around.
