Well, you're an eternal optimist so you love everything. That's not saying much.

Firstly, I was just kidding so I hope that wasn't meant to snarky. Secondly, I do love everything because I am obsessed with the show. Other shows I watch I pick things apart more but when you watch a show as long as I have you honestly do love everything.

I wasn't calling you out or anything-just messing with you a bit

Whoa, calm down there, Phoenix. Ever thing King was just joking? Take some of your own medicine once in a while.

These spoilers sound cool to me.

I like that Belle and Philip reach and understanding and hopefully it is more of the bittersweet kind then the angry resentful and revengy kind.

I like E.J., but I always do seem to like the guys who call sami", Samantha."

You and me both! I loved Brandon and Sami. When he first came on and they had him calling her Samantha, I never understood why. It wasn't until I got older and realized that Brandon was the only person that ever considered Sami an adult and that's why he calls her Samantha. EJ must think of the same.

Oh I am calm Seven. I just wanted to make sure KR was kidding, which I am sure he was. I always try to keep the peace .

I brought up the EJ/Brandon similarity when he first came on. He treats Sami just like Brandon did and even though I did not like Sami/Brandon at first, I did grow to like them . I do think Sami/EJ have more chemistry though but yeah I can see the simliarity.

Some Bo & Hope spoilers from SOW courtesy of the Silver Link:

"Finally Bo and Hope reunite on the Fancy Face this week on Days of Our Lives. The long awaited detente happens after they own up to their roles in little Zack's death. "Up until this point, Hope has been blaming Bo for the whole thing," explains Peter Reckell (Bo). "Her anger has been focused on something outside of herself. Finally, Bo and Hope share the responsibility for what happened. It's the first time they grieve together about the death of their child."

Bo and Hope end up spending the night on their boat. "They don't make love, clarifies Reckell, "but there's that whole moment of: "We might as well have, because the closeness is there." The next morning, Bo and Hope wake up in each other's arms."

"The wall between Bo and Hope is dissipating," chimes in Kristian Alfonso (Hope). "They've reconnected, Hope wants so badly to be back with Bo, but at the same time there are still some underlying issues. They're slowly starting to resolve them and rebuild their relationship."

Unfortuntately, then it is back to reality. Bo tells Hope he's headed to Patrick's hearing and doesn't want her to attend. But she shows up anyway just as Bo

takes the witness stand.

"Hope's timing is impeccable." sighs Reckell. "She shows up when Patrik's lawyer is saying this case isn't about a police officer going after evidence---it's about Bo Brady going after someone who slept with his wife." It gets worse when Roman arrives with evidence that actually clears Patrick. Patrick heads straight for Hope and asks for a future together. "Hope is completely confused," describes Alfonso. "She can't make any decision right now. She's looking sideways at Bo thinking, "What's going on here? The evidence was planted? Not that she thinks Bo planted it, but his judgment was clouded because of his hatred for Patrick. Otherwise, Bo would never have fallen for this. Hope feels caught in the middle. Of course, her heart is with Bo. She wants to believe him 100 percent. But at the same time. she wants to be a loyal, good friend to Patrick. She's conflicted."

Bo isn't.

"Beause of that evening on the boat and a couple of other monents, Bo feels that he and Hope are headed in the right direction," muses Reckell. "That connection is coming back. In his heart, Bo knows Hope loves him."

so.....there's hope for Bo and Hope after all."

Sounds good and again, I think these scenes would make the Bo/Hope fanbase happy. I have to give the Days' people credit. They really are trying to make fans happy--at least for now.....

Sorry, off topic but how do I change the title of this thread. Where do I go to do that? I want to let people know that I updated my original post with the new Bo/Hope spoiler....

TIA

I'm a little tired of the writers going back and forth with Patrick...why does he have to be innocent...We know he's working with the gloved hand...

but glad bo and hope are reconnecting..Brody can't leave soon enough for me...

It all sounded good until I got to the Patrick part.

Like Kev said, the back and forth is getting sickening. We know he is working with the hand so why clear him? I figured he would get out of jail because I am sure him and his partner will cause more trouble but Hope being conflicted is stupid considering she practically is clsoe to reuniting with Bo. There should not even be a conflict. I can't wait for Brody to leave. I used to like the character but I can't stand this anymore.

Oh well-most everything sounds good .

I think the Patrick part is going to boomerang right back to him. Bo did have an officer with him when the evidence was uncovered, but Bo should have figured it was all to easy and bundled together too nicely and had some doubts about it. I'm looking forward to how the writers work this out.

It's good that Bo and Hope are getting closer, but I still hold anger that she even ever looked at Patrick as a suitable rival to Bo's affections for her. Disgusting.

I really hate the Patrick parts.

But while they want to make Marlena no longer a victim, could we please do that with Hope as well. Try and remember she was a cop and has her own good instincts.

She KNOWS BO. Seriously, besides that Patrick can be sweet and she slept with him, what more does she know that is guy??? Please someone wake up and give her a brain and have her say" yes. It is your baby, BUT I love BO and KNOW he would never plant eveidence. I am going to be with Bo".

How is Hope going to react once Shawn tells his mom about all of Mimi's lies? Tell me that is not going to make Bo all that more determined. The only good would be for Hope to start secretly investiating Patrick and find the evidence herself.

Ugh. That Bope spoiler screams of being one step forward, two steps back. She is still trusting that scumbag criminal boyfriend of hers over Bo. Please Hogan...kill Patrick off ASAP.

The way they've been picking up the pace, maybe Patrick will be exposed as working with EJ sooner than we think.

And they still have the records of the phone call to Sami from Patrick's phone. I just don't want Patrick to be murdered and Bo framed for that. Get rid of him in an original way....please.

Well Hogan is very hit or miss. I know he pulled off those 4 Emmys, but I certainly wouldn't say he's one of the best. But for Days, a major step up and he's pretty entertaining. His fluff storylines were out of place on ATWT, but they'll probably work better here.

I'm looking forward to his arrival!

I never watched ATWT with Hogan but from what I've read of spoilers/rumors I can believe his storylines are hit or miss. So far I'm not on Hogan's bandwagon and it's hard to tell where Reilly storylines leave off and Hogan's storylines start.

When you say fluff storylines do you mean that Hogan's storylines had no substance to them?

I remember part of Hogan's stuff on ATWT and he is a fast paced writer and that is what made ATWT a fast paced show under his tenure.Sheffer telling fast paced stories on DAYS would be a welcome change of pace and at least we have the days last two or three episodes instead of 25 under Reilly.In my opinion Sheffer telling a story fast would be to his advantage just in case he encounters a clunker and can wrap it up quicker.Reilly didn't know when to end a clunker of a story period and it showed and Reilly's very slow pacing didn't help either.Sheffer is what this show needs to reenergize itself and remain viable for years to come.Sheffer helped ATWT pull out of its slump and that show was close to cancellation and the show enjoyed the benefits of it and is still around today.If Sheffer really helps the ratings for DAYS maybe it won't be hard for DAYS to get another renewal when it's contract expires in 2009.Hurry Hogan Hurry.
