Members Pest Spray Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Give the woman a break, she's raising two boys, fighting her ex in court and working. And she's looking fantastic. Marlena's never been up and down the walls or a screaming mess. That's not how Deidre's played her since 1976 and that's not how she's supposed to be. Marlena's rational, it's why it's a big deal when she's not (Brady debacle, the Affair in a way...). She's feisty and sassy, she can be silly and flirty, but she's never all over the place. She's calm and collected 90% of the time. Loved someone finally mentioning the differences in Shawn and Phillip to Belle. I love Shawn and Belle, but I agree with what Marlena said (and no, that's not why). Its why I loved Phelle at the end. Before he got all Roman on their asses, Phillip was a fantastic husband. He was safe, secure, he loved her thoroughly and he made sure they were happy. Shawn's known for being kind of an idiot. And he's been babied by his parents so much that he hasen't had to take responsibility for anything and fix things. Phillip was safe, he was there and he's what Belle needs. Shawn is what she wants and defiently her true love, but there's different kinds of love. Some find it in different people, some find all in one. Eventually, I'd love to see Shawn grow into the secure, safe guy Belle wants and needs deep down, but I like seeing the two differences. She loves Shawn but she knows how Phillip is as a husband.

Members adrianna17 Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ejami is so incredible. They play off of each other so nicely I wish there was a mute button for Lucas; screaming at Belle, screaming at Sami, throwing a 2 year old tantrum. The guy is as pathetic as they come. As Tony said" What a Little Twit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pest Spray Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yeah, I am not liking Lucas right now. He's too... harsh. Too all over the place. I love the character, but I don't like/enjoy him right now. But I'm not liking Sami either. I love EJ but I hate him, and Tony just is bringing the suckage back. Thank god Anna's coming back, maybe there's a triplet cousin or something and this isen't really Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 They are soo hinting at another Shawn/Belle/Philip triangle. It's ironic how Philip is constantly seen as someone who makes Belle feel safe considering he's a tad unstable these days. I love Philip & JKJ, though. Normally, I'd hate the safe, secure guys. I'm not quite sure if Shawn is supposed to be seen as this intense risktaker but the character just doesn't scream it. He's more of an immature child. Philip, on the other hand, has this intensity that really contradicts with the hammered down notion that he is the definition of safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapQueen89 Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 The fangurl in me was all EEEEEEEEEE today!! The last scenes with Stefano getting up out of that wheelchair was classic! And then him pouring himself a drink and saying it was good to be back - OMG! goosebumps baby! I LOVED IT! My only complaint today was Lucas. He's dancing on my last nerve! ARGH!!

Members IMissAremid Posted June 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm watching this again too since I had to leave for part of the second half earlier and feel like expounding A LOT more. LOL at Tony's condescension over the phone and Lucas's lame "I'll best wishes you..." LOL again "I want my wife!"... "As a good husband should" Whoever keeps writing these zingers for Thaao Penghlis keep it up because he is definitely nailing them. EJ and Sami are adorable. It was funny watching EJ try to introduce Sami to Stefano like it was a first date or something given how incredibly bizarre the circumstances of her meeting his father was. Lucas needs to either start drinking again so he has an excuse for all the yelling, bullying and breaking crap or he needs to simmer down. Or is this the dry drunk thing that Al Franken thinks President Bush has? In any event, soooooooooooo sick of I-cannot-control-the-volume-of-my-voice-Lucas. And I just saw this hilarious banner at the NBC board on this subject and had to share it: WTF is up with Roman totally covering up for Chelsea-Nick? Is this some big character shift for Roman or is this just a tidy way of wrapping up hairbrushgate or just a quirky twist that Sheffer threw in there for the surprise factor? I'm leaning toward the last one. I didn't think Marlena was sleepwalking in terms of the scene or her acting other than not being able to open her eyes more than a little slit, but I'm not sure if that is an acting choice or not at this point. The scene was boring compared to other scenes, but I didn't think it was particularly bad. I think it makes sense for Belle to not be 100 percent sure Shawn is the man for her now that they are back in Salem and she doesn't have Claire anymore, which is what brought them together, and she is having to deal with all the fallout from Shawn choosing last fall to shack up with a hooker rather than be her boyfriend and a father to Claire. Even though I don't really like Belle either, I hope Phillip wins her over. I can't figure out what they are doing with John. I think he is being written really oddly or Drake is playing him differently than I remember John with the weird knife thing. I like that he has zingers and is going all out against the Dimeras now that he's out of his coma, but something is just... off. "And if any blood is spilled... I can guarantee you it won't be the Brady's" Foreshadowing much? Which Dimera dies? What is 45 Rothchild? Is Stefano faking or did he just really want a drink? If he is faking AND he wants to keep Colleen-Santo a secret then why is he calling Sami, Colleen? Oh well. I guess I can worry about figuring that out later because him simply being back is enough excitement for this episode with the "Salud, Salem" And I'm weird I guess because I like the freeze frames. It pissed me off when they ended an episode a couple weeks ago with Kate banging on a door and there was no fade out or freeze frame or anything before they went to the previews. Yay for Sami having new hair and makeup in tomorrow's episode. I really hate it when they curl her hair like it has been the past week and a half. And she and EJ just look so good together.

Members jacks Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Lucas is sort of getting on my nerves. However, I am glad that he is upset about the whole rape thing because everyone else blew it over. I missed 10 minutes midway through the show and the next thing I know Stefano is up and walking! It was great to see him after all these years. It was him and Lexie when she was all crazy and stealing babies that really got me hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Never thought I'd say this, but I'm loving John. He's funnier and darker. LOVE the EJ scene with the knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
