Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yeah, but at least I *tried*. Which is more than I can say for all those head writers. Why is this the well that DOOL keeps going back to? I don't mind the DiMeras, per se. But just make them this dark, dysfunctional family. I'd like the Bradys on one side, the DiMeras on the other, and the Hortons in the middle, mixing shades of light and dark. (The Hortons have quite the dark history, in spite of the Tom/Alice love story, what with Bill/Laura, and the Tommy thing, and Maggie's alcoholism, etc.) Why we have to keep going back to this sci-fi/three prism/brainwashing/memories on a disk crap is beyond me. Stefano is an interesting enough character. Why does he have to be Dr. Doom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 But that has always been my problem. How is changing John's face, brainwashing him and giving him to the family as Roman Brady screwing them? Stefano never had any intention of allowing Wayne's Roman to ever escape. That all happened by accident. This is what happens when 9 different HWs screw up the history of a character and family. It's so bad now that I would now prefer killing Stefano, John & Roman and just getting rid of the whole damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Exactly. You can say it's the drug ring, and you can say it's the Brady Vendetta, but you CANNOT say it's Marlena. And yes, I'm repeating myself. Sorry, Officer Sylph. This pushed a button in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yep. He moved in briefly to protect her, and no one knew who was doing the killing. Stefano never said he had feelings one way or the other about Marlena. He was pissed at Roman for shutting down his drug oepration while he was playing Pillar of the community.

Members Khan Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Say what?! It's Maryanne Caruthers all over again, lol. Honestly, I am so fed up with soaps rewriting history (and on-screen history, in particular) to suit current story needs. There was no reason for...whoever to say the feud has been all about Marlena. No reason at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hey, there's history, there's rewritten history, and then there's just a script writer who doesn't do their homework AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 But in this case, two out of three is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 You've got three out of three at this point. Third strike, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Or...... They could recast the role, explain why a new actor is playing Roman (I hate the "The part of -fill in the blank- will be played by......) and put the new Roman with Marlena. John can then do whatever the hell he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 That's why the Alex North thing made me so angry. Even if the story was AMAZING and PURE GOLD, it still stops you from casting Wayne as Roman again for awhile. Then again, they brought Judi back as Adrienne after Bonnie was gone for A MONTH. So what the hell do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Ah, yes. Alex North. Pure horseshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 The last four episodes of Days have been awesome. No Stephanie, No Morgan, No Melanie, No Dr. Dan, No Morgan, No Chelsea, No Morgan, No Max to speak of. I just love how Stefano is roaming around in his jammies and is able to get into Marlena's room to taunt her without anyone else being around!

Members UCLAN Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 I thought it was only me, but I'm not liking Stefano back at all. I hate super-villians who are capable of so much. Stefano was in a "coma-like" stae but he was able to put this entire plan in motion, before any one relized he was conscious! Did I miss something? And the hallucinigenic gas? I'm sure this is the segue for the 2 week Olmpic storyline, but really. I like villians who are human and eventually lose. I thought it was great what Marlena did to Stefano. I always knew he would come back, but I wanted him to dook it out with Victor. I can't remember them both being on the canvas at the same time. Does anyone know if they ever were?

Members brimike Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 They've definitely been on the canvas at the same time, although I don't recall a whole lot of them crossing paths. Victor was mostly dealing with Justin/Adrienne, then later on, Isabella/Marina/Ernesto, then Kate (when Deborah Adair played her), while Stefano was mixing it up with John/Marlena/Roman. There may have been some crossover with Isabella, but I don't recall a whole lot of Victor/Stefano scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UCLAN Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks for the info. I think I started watching Days in '84 and I always seem to remember them not interacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
