DAYS: Recast Kristen


Recommended Posts

  • Members

From Dustin's character history of Laura Horton:

Laura was put on trial for killing Kristen DiMera. Mickey pleaded with her to take an insanity plea, but she refused. Luckily, Stefano showed up with Celeste, who's story got Laura off the hook for killing Kristen. Celeste remembered being at the Blake house and seeing Laura shoot at Kristen, and that Kristen fell down. Laura left, but Kristen got up. However, Laura was convicted of attempted murder and was ordered to be institutionalized pending a psychiatric evaluation. Marlena pulled some strings and managed to allow Laura to come home as an out patient. Laura was touched that Marlena did this and they became friends once again.

I didn't say that you were lying, LoL. At the end of my post, I even said that I might be wrong.

I hated the "Killing Pool" storyline, and it was confusing as hell, so it's no surprise that I don't remember all the details quite well. I do remember Laura having a conversation with Mike and Jennifer where she begged them NOT to make her pretend to be insane to keep from going to prison over Kristen's death, though. She kept saying "I can't go back there again... I can't go back there again..."

Either way, that's all beside the point.

Nope, I hated it.

Susan became too much. The introduction of Edmund Crumb was a joke. I didn't like the stupid harem/dungeon. I didn't like the outcome (Edmund Nobody was the killer, and Penelope -- a newbie we didn't even know about and ANOTHER Banks sibling-- was the real victim? Stupid!). I didn't like Kristen having to parade around as Susan. The whole thing was stupid as hell.

I mean, don't get me wrong... compared to many of today's stories, it's gold in comparison! I guess that saying I 'hated' it is a little strong... but it wasn't one of my favorites. Sally Sussman Morina SUCKED ASS. She was a poor man's watered down version of JER.

I loved it because it was so complex. Introducing a fifth character was cool because it made history for Eileen and DAYS, and it managed to be interesting while killing off a character no one was attached to. Edmund as the killer was good for the same reason, because Laura didn't fry for the crime, and he did it out of an act of love for Susan. AND Susan got her happy ending whereas Kristen got her just desserts, which means we (the viewers) and John and Marlena got a happy ending.

Susan-as-Kristen and Kristen-as-Susan are my favourite parts of Eileen Davidson's stint. I loved it when they'd switch. Kristen impersonating Susan was nice for a change. And Edmund was perfect for Susan because he was like the British, male version of her!

Anyone can create fifteen day-player characters for someone to play. Making them worth something and memorable is the real challenge, IMO.

My favorite part of the storyline was Laura showing up to Kristen's funeral in the red dress.

Just because the clip was so good before...

"I wanted to PUNISH Marlena! I wanted to make her suffer for taking my baby away from me! That's why I sent Roman to the plane, I wanted him to see that she's not the saint she PRETENDS TO BE! I wanted to ruin her life just like she's ruined mine! But I'm the one that was hurt. Because Marlena, she just always ends up on top... she just always does."
