DAYS: What about Theo?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

It just occurred to me that, although Sami could be pregnant with E.J.'s child, Stefano only has one grandchild at the moment -- Theo. I'm a little surprised that Stefano hasn't shown much interest in the kid who could inherit the DiMera empire someday. The whole point of the baby switch (which never made sense to me, but hey) was to have Lexie end up with John's kid so she and John could raise him as a DiMera. Of course, just because Zack wasn't Stefano's didn't mean he was John's; he was Bo's kid. And the Lexie/John plan fell through. Still . . .

Tony never had a child. Renee never had a child. Megan never had a child. Peter never had a child. Kristen never had a child. E.J. doesn't have a child (yet). Benjy doesn't have a child. So Lexie disappears, and the DiMeras don't swoop in and nab Theo?

Just seems a little weird.

And I want to see E.J. and Benjy fighting against each other. We didn't get any good scenes with E.J. and Lexie as brother and sister. I was willing to accept E.J. as a DiMera, even with the hyper-SORASing that had to occur, but DAYS is getting sloppy in some areas.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

I'm hoping the writers do involve Theo into the DiMera plan. He is a DiMera heir after all. And in a couple of years, thanks to SORASing, Theo is going to be the bad guy, mixing it up with Claire, JJ, Ciara, Kiriakis/Lockhart baby and Sami's baby, who may also be a DiMera.

Theo will no doubt play a role at some point. However, Stefano may be upset with Lexie over her turning her back on the Dimera's so who knows. He may not care about Theo at the moment but may have plans for him later down the line.

Celeste clearly knew more about what was coming when talking with Sami and there is always that infamous EJ/Celeste scene back in November. Celeste will be involved somehow.

No, Mascolo is not back--yet. The actor playing Stefano right now is just a stand-in. We never see his face, only his hand with the phoenix ring on it. The writers explained this by having Stefano dying and stuck in an oxygen cover-type structure. Everyone knows that Stefano is alive. John and Marlena were the first to find out. Then, we knew that EJ knew. Sami overheard EJ on the phone with someone talking about Stefano and that's how she found out. Pretty much everyone knows. As to his death a few years ago, that has yet to be covered. I'm sure it will be soon. In order to do that, they're going to have to mention Tony into this somewhere. We know that Hogan has interest in Tony and wants Thaao Penghlis to return, but Corday is against the idea right now due to the budget.

Those that want to see some interactions between Stefano and Theo should really start reading my blog. That's how I brought Stefano back onto the show. Theo was telling Celeste about his friend that came to visit him at night. Obviously, Celeste thought that Theo was only dreaming this and developed an imaginary friend. Over time, she started noticing changes in Theo (he learned how to play chess, he knew classical music, etc.) and speculated that Stefano was involved. One night, she hid in Theo's room and sure enough, Stefano was the friend coming to visit Theo at night.

    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
    • I don't think Lisa served a purpose after the serial killer storyline. The writers never gave her anything to do but be Vicky's nemesis. Joanna Going deserved better. Another example of a character taking over the show and then the writers not having a longterm plan for the character.  Exhibit B: Sally Spencer. Such a missed opportunity. It really angers me how they misused her. She could sing and act and they just threw her away in that sexist nonsense storyline. Once the story was over, they wrote her off. The McKinnons should have lasted for years. I will give the show credit for how they introduced Sandra Ferguson as Amanda. I thought it was expertly done. She comes in and she immediately connected to RKK's Sam. She has chemistry with Matthew and she has realistic conversations with MAc and Rachel. That's how it is done. 
    • Great points, and it has not completely vanished. Leslie on Beyond the Gates fits the trope (she's still not over that Ted lovin' two decades later), though I will say there does seem to be an effort to make her more complex.
