If I were an actress and had to film 12 hour days in something itchy, or scratchy, or that I'm allergic to, or extremely uncomfortable shoes, I'd say no. of course!, within reason.

peachmangosteen December 31, 2017 Share December 31, 2017 Can someone give me a brief summary on Vivian? 1 Link to comment
SanDiegoInExile January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 (edited) She once dressed as a French Fry container for several episodes. Her first scene in Salem involved her shooting dead the man attempting to kill her nephew Lawrence. His first comment: "Aunt Viv!" Her brother was Leopold Alamain, who was married to Philomena Alamain, the sister of Daphne DiMera, Stefano's first wife. Stole Kate+Victor's fertilized embryo and gave birth to Philip Kiriakis. While under the influence of Dr Wu's Secret Herbs, she drugged and buried alive her arch-nemesis Carly Manning. She discovered that Laura Horton was being over-medicated during her years-long psychiatric hospital stay and helped Laura back to sanity as part of a plot to destroy Kate Roberts. Spent several months with a secret tooth implant, courtesy Dr Rolf, that led to bizarre, humorous behavior. Years later, she tried to engineer a break up between Victor and Maggie by encasing Maggie in a sarcophagus in the Kiriakis Tomb, only to end up inside the contraption herself, to the mocking, weeks-long joy of Brady/Victor/Nicole. She raised her nephew Nicholas Alamain and secretly gave birth to Quinn Hudson (and to Stefan O. DiMera??) During her initial stints on the show, she had a European assistant Ivan Marais, who wins the lottery and takes his *Madame* from Salem. On her last visit, she has a weasly assistant Gus, who ended up terrorizing women of Salem, including then-hooker Chloe Lane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_Alamain http://soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/vivian.php Edited January 1, 2018 by SanDiegoInExile 3 Link to comment

JBC344 January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 Actually John is Vivian's nephew, still is. John was adopted by Philomena and Leopold Alamain when he was a young boy. Vivaian and Nicky Alamain have been John's constant relatives throughout his many retcons. Vivian has had two major feuds in her tenure on Days over the decades. Carly Manning who is Nicky's mother and Lawrence Alamains (Vivian's nephew) ex wife, and Kate Roberts. Back then Kate/Victor/Vivian were very much a twisted love triangle. Vivian was the "schemer" to Kate's "good girl" back then. Vivian stole Phillip as an embryo and had him implanted in her. She birthed Phillip Kiriakis. She was briefly married to Stefano in the late 90's early 2000's. Vivian for 80% of her tenure on the show has been a scheming villain. The other 20% have been her more sympathetic moments with her nephews John and Nicky, her marriage to Jonesy, her "scheming" with Ivan, and her really sweet friendship with Celeste. 4 Link to comment

Don't forget that JER made her more layered by making her more comedic. She was written much darker under Sheri and other writers. She was not supposed to stay long on the show. JER always wrote much better for the villainesses than the heroines.. Sami, Kristen and Vivian were his muses.. They were featured nonstop under his tenure. He said that he was inspired by Eileen and wrote the Banks siblings because of her. He apologized to Eileen for overworking her. She was exhausted at the end of her first run on the show..

RyansGangy February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 For my fellow Eagles fans, Days will air at noon on Cozi on Verizon. I have no idea what channel the Evil Empire aka Comcast will air it on. 1 Link to comment
SanDiegoInExile February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 COZI is a nationwide over-the-air channel. It's not Verizon programming. WCAU is the NBC affiliate and will air DOOL on its sub-channel, which is branded under COZI. Looks as if COZI is carried on Channel 248 on Comcast Digital Cable. If you get WCAU via antenna on Channel 10.1, you will find COZI on 10.2. Link to comment
DisneyBoy February 9, 2018 Share February 9, 2018 If the rumors about there still being a little bit of footage of Joe are true, my question is this: what would you like the footage to be and how would you like the show to use it to wrap up Stefano's story? I personally would rather the show completely ignore the fact that Shane and Steve impersonated Stefano. It was just too stupid for words and I would prefer to forget it happened. If all they have is a shot of Joe sitting in a chair smiling and laughing a little bit, maybe they can wait until Eileen is available again and film a scene of her in some foreign country, in some luxurious mansion speaking to Stefano about how their family always overcomes all the odds. They could then cut to him looking rather healthy, and then later after Kristen has returned to Salem she could get word that he passed away peacefully in his sleep, which she would keep to herself to continue to use the threat of Stefano's return to Salem to get what she wants. I really don't think it works to always suggest that Stefano could still be out there. They've played it that way for two years now and it just interferes with the stories that they try to tell. I mean, at this point Stefano is alive but he isn't returning to Salem to confront his newly discovered son? We are supposed to believe he would allow Vivian to take the company away from Chad, who Stefano loves dearly? I don't buy that. Better to eventually say he actually passed away once and for all. 4 Link to comment

However, she became interested in Victor back when she came to town for Lawrence, before Kate was her rival. Victor and John were establishing a relationship after Isabella died, after years of acrimony, when John was Roman. Victor was suspicious of Vivian and John was giving her the benefit of the doubt because she was his aunt. So Victor offered to court Vivian to find out what was the deal. Victor was right because Lawrence and Vivian were plotting to steal John's share of the Alamain fortune and undermine his work at Titan. Vivian fell for Victor, then, Kate came to town and caught Victor's eye. The rest is history. It was also Vivian's scheme to hurt Titan that brought Kate to town to help Victor. I loved the John/Victor dynamic. They were both wary of each other, but, they were bonded because of Isabella and Brady. I loved how Sherry wrote it. John taught Victor to be more human and Victor thought John to be less trusting and more devious. Plus, Victor was scheming to put John and Marlena back together because he wanted Marlena to raise Brady, as his mother, thereby, fulfilling, Isabella's wish.. He offered Marlena a seat at Titan, so, that Jarlena would work closely together, in order to re-ignite their dormant feelings for one another. Marlena not only interacted with John, but, also, her old friend Kate...I used to love how Sherry's stories would weave different characters together..

Apprentice79 May 15, 2018 Share May 15, 2018 11 minutes ago, peachmangosteen said: Can someone give me the backstory on Xander, please? Thanks! He is the son of Victor's retcon brother. Victor only had one brother, who was Justin's father, who was killed in Greece. Xander came to town to work with Victor. Victor treated him like shit. He desperately wanted Victor's approval. He became infatuated with Nicole, when she rejected him. He attacked her and Eric came on time, to save her. They ran for their lives, he locked them in the boiler room and tried to kill them. Eric and Nicole declared their love for each other, before passing out from the heat. They were saved by Daniel. Xander also liked Theresa, but, she falsely accused him of rape. Theresa was trying to make Brady jealous. It is why he hates her so much. He was arrested and thrown in jail. I think that Victor got him out of prison. Then, he started working with Deimos, another retcon brother of Victor who faked Xander's death. He kidnapped Nicole for Deimos. Eric later saved Nicole from Deimos and Xander. Xander escaped again with Victor's help.. Somebody please correct me, if I missed something.. 1 Link to comment

If they were going to retcon brothers for Victor anyway, they should have just made Deimos to also be Xander's father. It would explain Victor's apathy for Xander who loved and raised Justin when his parents were killed. I also seem to remember a conversation about Xander being jealous of Philip, Brady and stupid Daniel growing up. It seemed that they knew each other as teens. 3 Link to comment

Daniel was the son of Victor's good friends, and Victor was his godfather, long before they retconned that Daniel was Maggie's son, so the newly created Xander was shoehorned in as having grown up with Daniel, and always resented Victor not liking him better than Daniel.

If all the other cartoon characters beyond Kristen/Susan were cut, well...I'm personally not crying. IMO, that was a dark period of the show in ridiculousness. And Susan was part of it, but since EJ had Miracle-Gro, she is sadly sometimes necessary. But if I never see the others again, it'll be too soon. 3 Link to comment
