Well, Jason does tend to help rescue returning characters from foreign locations regularly. We knew it was coming. The BLQ/Dante spoiler.......🤮

There are so many possibilities for her. She was off canvas so long there are so many places you could take Lois. Or just move her forward with a new romance. It's not hard. Instead let's just make Lois embarrassed about her accent-a thing she was always proud of. The story is stupid, but it makes no sense for the Lois character. She's not insecure at all.

Am I the only one offended that this is the story the came up with for Lois? It's a non-story. It's frustrating to watch Rena just be wasted.

It is terrible and I hope she goes back to her original Lois accent. It's part of what makes Lois "Lois".

I think the Hortons are a different issue. Patch and Kayla vs. J&M isn't the problem. Both should get stories and airtime. It's only going to get worse once Although I honestly think Steve/Kayla/Stephanie get plenty of scenes together.

I assume Rena just didn't want to do it anymore. There is literally no other reason for this story to exist unless the show needs some filler material. Kirsten's hair looked like the perfect color for her right before this recent dye job. Oh well, we can always count on KS to make some bad decision about styling wardrobe lol.

Does Rena just not want to do the Lois accent anymore? There is no reason for this side story otherwise. Also, Kirsten's hair looked better before. I hate when it's so bleached.

Well, I think there is a difference between not writing Stayla and Stephanie well and needing more family scenes. They seem to spend a decent amount together? None of them currently really have a story. They are more supporting in other stories at the moment. Sure, you can make an argument that Tripp and Joey should be around, but they aren't that interesting lol. Meanwhile, John/Marlena have kids, grandkids, stepkids, etc. running around everywhere in Salem. It's clear Ron prefers J&M to S&K, but I also think there is just more to write with them due to the way the cast is made up at this moment.

So embarrassing. That's honestly one of the reasons I don't like Ric. I know that wasn't RH's fault, but I am sad I had to live through the Marianna story (I think that was her name) I totally get your point about a potential Ava/Ric pairing. It would probably go the same way most of his other pairings went. It will start decent, then get really weird, and then fizzle out because the writers will lose interest. Ava/Ric still might be better than Liz apparently forgetting everything she ever knew about Ric, but not much.

Why would Steve/Kayla get more family scenes than John/Marlena? John and Marlena have multiple family members on canvas. Steve/Kayla can't sit around and talk to Stephanie all day. It's clear Ron favors John/Marlena over Steve/Kayla, but there isn't much more for them to do as family besides talk to Stephanie about her boy problems.

I think Ric only works in B or C pairings to be honest. I don't think Ric is meant to be given leading material. He works as supporting. I am ready for the argument that Sonny/Jason shouldn't be leads, but almost every big story or love interest Ric has been given has flopped. I remember during 2008? (the strike I think) where JFP pushed RH/Ric while Guza was gone with that stupid story with the waitress. There was a real attempt to make him a lead for awhile. It didn't work.

I'll be honest. I have no clear defense for my choice. It's just how I feel lol. And I know it's not popular but I just can't stand Ric. Sonny is mostly a clown as well. I just like him better.

Clyde's probably her dad or something.

I am frankly okay with dropping the whole Clyde part. Clyde is at Orpheus levels of being played out.

Days is horrible with continuity and can change a story at any time, but I was going to assume any accident Fabby might have been in was a long time ago. Just because it doesn't seem like Aaron or Felicity are currently grieving or have mentioned an accident besides their parents. Honestly, for all we know Fabby is Mark's half sister and the non-Greene parent is the key to all this.

To be fair he was gone for awhile in that coma. GG must got a nice vacay or something lol

Well, that's a pretty popular opinion around here lol. I don't hate Ric on the level I hate(d), say, Gladys or Violet. I can recognize RH is a good actor. I liked Ric in the very beginning but after the whole fake Carly rape I was just so over him and have been since. I will also say the show has rarely known what to do with Ric as a character and gave him some bad stories and love interests.

I was thinking perhaps FAbby was part of the accident that killed the Greene's parents. Maybe she was presumed dead or in a coma or something for a long period of time and didn't grow up in Salem. It seems like Aaron and Felicity did. Mark should have at least a working knowledge of Abby's relative's if he's been in Salem that long and be able to give the basics. Or, you know, just use google to figure it out.

Considering Sonny did just murder someone in cold blood a week ago, I don't really have a defense for that lol. I just like Sonny better than Ric. He's great with Molly, but when I see him skulking around town all sleazy and smug I just have irrational hate for the character.

I saw the complaints about Gabi's dress and looked at it today and thought it was fine. She looked cute. I think Cherie is doing a good job as Gabi. She channels CB a lot. The one thing I notice she does is sometimes talk really slowly like she's carefully enunciating all her words. Some of her dialogue sounds stilted at times because of it. FakeAbby is not doing a good job at all with this act. I assume this took years of planning so I don't know why she or Mark didn't do the most basic history check. At least if she knew who was who she could know who to keep her guard up around and act more natural. I have a feeling this story is doomed from the start. Galen Gering seems like a really nice guy. I am sure he's great to have on set and a team player. Unfortunately, Rafe needs to go. Even Jada just being acting Police Commish was better than any of Rafe's police work in years. I'd let GG go and hire someone new for Jada.

You wound me with such statements!🥲 Sonny is awful, so it's a low bar for Ric to clear. I just think we all had a nice break from RH/Ric so it's nice to see him. Ric is still the worst.

Or at least someone that isn't a career criminal and wasn't in a long term, serious relationship with her daughter lol. I wasn't particularly a fan of the Sonny/anna stuff, but it's more viable than Jason/Anna I guess. It just don't see Jason hooking up with Robin's mom. Not that Anna would hook up with Jason. I just think Jason is super protective about his relationship with Robin.

I thought maybe they were leading toward a Sonny/Anna pairing for a moment before all the BTS stuff happened. I just can't imagine a Jason/Anna pairing. The Robin of it all would make my head explode.

Yeah the audience knows. @j swift was referring to Ava. And Ava does not know whether Brady drove that night. She was talking about the night of the first (double) wedding when speaking to Brady.

I have always liked Spinelli/Maxie. I think it works now especially since Spinelli is a bit more mature and not so hyper and out of control. There was just a time when if I had to hear one more Spinelli "nickname" or "quirky" antic I felt like punching a wall.
