Days:Brady/Dimera feud RUMOR


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Stefano's very simple explanation of the "Brady/DiMera feud" from May 1984.

MARLENA

What is that thing?

STEFANO

Surely you can tell a metronome when you see one.

MARLENA

Of course I can! Don’t toy with me! What is it for?

STEFANO

But you can see for yourself.

MARLENA

Stefano, tell me something. When you were a little boy, did you pull the wings off flies? Or were you ever a little boy?

STEFANO

Ha! My my my my my my my. What a fiery little temper you have. Look at your eyes. They are like two hot coals blazing when you try to get angry. Huh? Ha ha ha. Do you want to know what that metronome is really for? It is a timing device.

MARLENA

A timing device?

STEFANO

Connected to a bomb.

MARLENA

No.

STEFANO

Mmm. And the bomb is beneath the stage, set to go off in, oh, 20 minutes.

MARLENA

You’re going to blow up the concert hall? With all those innocent people?

STEFANO

Not all innocent.

MARLENA

Stefano, please, I’m begging you. Please stop it.

STEFANO

Well, you see, the special thing about this metronome is that once it gets started, it can never be stopped. Now, if the bomb squad were to discover this device, they could never deactivate it. [pulls out the baka]

MARLENA

The baka!

STEFANO

Yes. The baka. It is the only thing that can turn this metronome off. The baka. The very spirit of my revenge – revenge against those who have hurt me.

MARLENA

But why?!

STEFANO

Why?! You, of all people, ask me why?! You, whose husband was a stumbling block when I tried to build my empire?!

MARLENA

He was more than a stumbling block for you! He outwitted you!

STEFANO

Outwitted me?! Ha!

MARLENA

He stopped you cold, and you know it!

STEFANO

Temporarily.

MARLENA

And he’ll do it again!

STEFANO

Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You see, we have a plan now that is foolproof.

MARLENA

What’s that? To kill Roman and hundreds of innocent people?

STEFANO

Innocent people? No. Roman? Yes.

MARLENA

And you think that will get you your empire. Is that it?

STEFANO

It isn’t what I think. It’s what I know. You see, originally Salem was going to be my base of operations. Now it seems that it’s not feasible, so I will operate from my island paradise.

MARLENA

Why this thirst for power?

STEFANO

If you have never tasted the nectar of power, my dear doctor, you will never know. There is nothing like it. Besides, it is my destiny.

MARLENA

Many men have felt that way. They felt they were destined to rule. And some did for a short time. But in the end, they lost. Just as you will.

STEFANO

Those men you speak of were all madmen.

MARLENA

Yes. What about you?

STEFANO

Ha ha ha. If I were mad, would I say it? Or could I say it? No, my dear doctor. You see, only a sane man can say that he is mad. But if he says it, then it only follows that he is as sane as you and me.

MARLENA

How very clever of you, Stefano.

STEFANO

Ah!

MARLENA

We must assume that you are sane.

STEFANO

A very wise assumption.

MARLENA

Uh huh. Well, a sane man would not kill hundreds of people to revenge one man. Roman is the man you want. So why don’t you clear the concert hall and stop trying to hurt innocent people?

STEFANO

Well, I’m sorry, but that is not possible. I am on my way to a safe place to await transportation out of Salem, and I anticipate a very pleasant journey. And, you know, I certainly hope that you also have a pleasant journey.

MARLENA

Stefano, please. I’m begging you. Please stop this now.

STEFANO

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Please, do not despair. My dear good doctor, perhaps your husband, the stalwart and brave Sergeant Brady, will come riding in on his white horse and save you at the 11th hour. If the police don’t shoot him first.

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
