There is also a good amount of Steve and Kayla tomorrow. :) IMO, the best scenes I have seen from Stephanie since her Dayton return (coming from someone who not really a Stephanie fan) - great self-reflection and remorse for past behavior. For those that like family relationship scenes, I thought the Johnson family scenes were extremely well done - warm fuzzy type of stuff with some great humor, too.

You know, I remember when Sami, Austin, Carrie and Lucas were labeled as teens and were all newbies. And I remember a lot of shows in a first half of 93 when they´d been an only story in the episode and how I was disappointed. So, I really think we need to be more tolerant. Maybe some from this teens are the next big stars of the show.

Now, I do think today´s episode has been boring, mainly because the Chelsea/Nick story is just an afterthought. They needed something to adress the Jett situation and to get rid of the children who were brought in just to keep Nick away from Chelsea, and to show Jeremy is reforming. But both Jeremy and Jett are leaving now and Chelsick are getting back together, so they are useless anymore.

But I´M HAPPY Chelsea and Nick are on again. And Jett was fired. Chelsick was the only somewhat popular teen couple in spring and Sheffer ruined it just when they could have a wonderfull summer romantic storyline as everyone expected. Instead, he let them to have their first lovemaking offscreen! What a stupid, stupid decision!

And I really don´t know what to think about the sorority storyline. If the rapist is really Ford what is the purpose? To show Max as a hero? I think this storyline was supposed to be much bigger with both Jett and Billie having a major part in it and, but they scrapped it and now sort off don´t know what to do with it.

Lol I agree - loved hearing some of the names from the past!

I don't mind the sorority stuff too much- at least not compared to the TTS storyline, and Morgan is a plus (I think I like Days new casting director!).

Loved EJ and Kate; their conversation was pretty much on spot when it comes to how lucas operates. And I'm still managing to feel sorry for her because of how lucas is treating her. The lucas and sami stuff - well seems they could have found something else to show or at least changed their conversation so they said something new. Go figure.

I so agree Jane. While Carrie grew up on the show, Stephanie is a character the fans saw for the first 3 years of her life so she is one fans, especially fans of Steve and Kayla, actually have a connection to or at least should have. These character are needed for the future and Days needs to better develop them and I feel like they are right now with the sorority story. It's a much better story then TTS and not as dominating canvas-wise. Another point that goes along with that is the complaints about Sami, Lucas, and EJ's airtime. We went through this last year with Bo and Hope and in past years with other characters (some worse then Sami, Lucas, and EJ) and the reaction was nowhere near as bad. I'm more annoyed that the story has gotten nowhere in a month then I am with the airtime. When the story moves, the airtime isn't as bothersome, at least to me.

Now, on to today, let me start by saying...

I FREAKING LOVE MORGAN!!

Max and her are great. Great chemistry and she can act. She needs to go contract. What a breath of fresh air. Kudos to casting and to Ed because this is his influence here. The fact that I like her right off the bat speaks volumes. I actually like alot of the girls in the sorority. This story is pretty good as a supporting story. Good seeing Nick again. Wish we saw more of Billie. She needs more to do then this. Seems like Jett is completely on the outs :lol: . We don't even get to see him. It seems like this story was truncated a bit.

I am glad the Nick and the kids story is getting tied up and the whole Chelsea bomb thing had a creepy, movie-like vibe to it with the lighting and all. I am glad Chick seem to be on the path to a reunion. Days had a nice couple there and they need to work on repairing that.

I liked the scene where Kate saw that the babies last names had changed and, therefore, so had Lucas's. Lauren played that scene well and I am glad she put up a fight against EJ. I am worried about her doing this though because I have a feeling Kate may be on her last legs so to speak. Sami and Lucas was boring except for the brief moment where Sami showed her spark and feisty side when she told Lucas about making EJ's life hell. I love the EJ death threats. It keeps me going through all the going around in circles. Makes me think we are close to getting somewhere. The dream was awesome. Nice Halloween treat. Loved the mentions of Rex, Cassie, Carrie, Eric, and Kim. That alone made the episode pretty good for me. Glad they remembered everyone there and loved the lighting and vibe of that scene. Not a bad job by Drake at all and Ali was great there. The body bags were creepy. Drake being there does make me wonder, even if we all knew he would be appearing... :lol:

Not a bad show really.

Since I fell asleep in the middle of the show the first time I attempted to watch it again today here's my take on today's days... :lol:

Yay for Nick kicking ass. I'm happy to see Chick sharing scenes again even if we are stuck with stupid bombs again. At least that Andre isn't responsible (we think) makes it a little more interesting, as do the disco lights for wherever Chelsea is being held captive. And it was so sad when the boys were yelling daddy and Nick was telling the bad guy to stay away from his kids. I hope they're OK!

Boy I've got a headache from all the SOMEONE WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT ON EJ'S LIFE anvils falling out of all the characters' mouths onto my head.

Lucas talking about being dangerous or needing to take things into his own hands just is NOT credible. I mean yeah I could see him doing something in the heat of the moment but actual premeditation with all of this puffing up his chest stuff? Not seeing it. Blah blah blah vendetta. Blah blah blah have to marry EJ. Blah blah blah not letting you go. ENOUGH! Either divorce Lumi or don't, show. Just don't make us watch them go around in circles about it anymore! And it's annoying how wishywashy Sami is that one minute she shows a little fire like she has a plan to take down the DiMeras from the inside but then she vacillates back to delusionally believing Lucas will make everything all right. GMAFB.

I did like EJ being manipulative but not totally sinister today. Not crazy about Kate being used to prop Lumi more in that just when it seems like she has some character growth, the writers are hellbent on having her relapse into doing anything and everything to have Lucas love her to make Lucas and Sami look like victims more to big bad Kate.

I love Morgan. I really like Max and Morgan. But I was bummed to see Morgan defending Ford because that pretty much blows up my new theory that Ford isn't actually the campus rapist because I have no doubt in my mind that Max will have to play rescuer at some point and Morgan will be victimized. :( BTW, it was today that it finally dawned on me how ridiculous the idea of a campus rapist is. I mean, maybe I'm jaded because I went to a school with like 30,000 students so when they told us freshmen year that 1 in 6 women is a victim of sexual assault that translated into A LOT of campus rapists, not just one, so this story is a bit ridiculous from that standpoint. Of course, so was my university's method for protecting women from rape which was handing them rape whistles, but that's a digression for another day...

Sami's dream was creepy. Yay for Rex and Cassie and Kimberly being remembered. But boo for this being John's last scene. He really did die just so Sami would marry EJ? Lame.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
