It will be good to have another familiar face back but this HEAVY investment in the Dimeras worries me. It sounds like we'll have Tony, Bart, Stefano AND Lexie all returning in the space of a month. At the same time, we've heard nothing more about Matt, Missy & Judi returning and Corday's comments suggest that Nichols & MBE will be marginalised in the coming months. Blowing the budget on one family (who many DAYS fans see as cartoonish) at the expense of others risks alienating more viewers. And since (IMO) Mascolo is the only returning Dimera capable of spiking the ratings, I don't see the purpose of bringing the whole bunch back.

Please for the love of the Soap Gods, be true!

The idea of one Dimera killing another never jived right; nor the statement that Stephano would favor his sons over his daughters, (lol, considering all the crap he went through for Kristen and Lexie).

It makes sense she would be kidnapped and made to be daddy dearest’s personal physician.

If this is true then great. It would be better if her "demise" or "disapearance" was subject to some actual story points to make her re-entrance more powerful.

Personally, I'd like to think that Lexie's absense will have warped her. I want her to feel torment for leaving her son behind but also gain "god" like feelings for saving her father. These conflicting emotions, combined with constant inferences from Stephano's bedside will make her believe that Abe is trying to take her son away from her and that she never realled loved him in the first place (that last one shouldn't be hard for her to believe). She will come back with a darker edge and a real DiMera protege. She will clash with Sami for breaking EJ's heart (warped view of things) and take on Bo and Hope. This would add a needed femine side to the Dimera/Brady fued.

Oh God I hope not. I'm so sick of Lexie sleeping with of Abe's family. It is a tired story. Personally, I'd like to see Lexie romantically involved with someone other then Abe (I believe Abe is too good for her). I'd like to see her make a play for Phillip! I could just it see now, Days hottest couple: Phixie.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
