Stories in Prologue:

A. At the police station, JR's on the phone trying to get Adam to answer him. The other end hangs up. JR's escorted back into the interrogation room. Erica arrives and heads to the room but Jesse stops her. Erica says she's there to post JR's bail, but Jesse tells her the judge denied bail, claiming JR's a flight risk. Erica's worried about what's happening with Little Adam, and Jesse tells her that he's being well taken care of.

B. At the Hubbards, Angie's trying to get Little Adam to eat. Little A asks if his father is in jail, and Angie tells him he's at the police station. Little Adam wants his father and Angie tries to assure him that JR's doing everything he can to come back for him. Little Adam insists he wants to go home NOW and tries to bolt out of the loft when Natalia enters, stopping him.

C. David and Kwak are about to leave the hospital when Jake tells her that she's not being checked out. David isn't having it.

D. Ryan is challenging Zach. [ETA: Kendall presumably calls Zach, Zach wants to answer the phone, saying its his wife, and Ryan gloats she's about to be his ex-wife] Zach tells him that if he wants to bring Zach to his knees and destroy every thing he has, Ryan will have to kill him first -- and thinks Ryan doesn't have the brass to go through with it.

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

I forgot to mention Kendall called Zach in the prologue (she wasn't shown, though). Sorry for getting hopes up.

Anyway, this Judge Schmuck is incredibly spineless. How the hell did he ever become a judge? He just caves in to whatever threat happens to be hanging over his head... which seems to be many. I mean, damn, I know the legal system in Pine Valley is incredibly corrupt, but daaaaaaaayum!

Speaking of Kendall, is this nanny "Rachel" or is she someone else? Wasn't the previous Rachel younger and hotter -- fitting in with the Fusion Girls? I mean, I could be wrong, since we never see her.

Moving on... going back to corrupt law officials... how, exactly, does the Chief of Police have the ability to shelter a child in the middle of a custody case? Is it me, or does that kind of smell a little like CONFLICT OF INTEREST?! I'm not a law buff by any means... but this just seems a little, shall we say, ODD AND CONTRIVED AND NOT ENDEARING ME ANY MORE TO JESSE, WHO IS ON THIN ICE WITH ME FOR FRAMING DAVID TO BEGIN WITH!

Question -- Zach and Myrtle's photo in the casino reminded me... Does Kendall know that Myrtle's dead? Or did she wake up, have Erica fill her head with lies about Reese, and that's been the only thing she's focused on ever since?

I don't like Randi. I reeeally don't like how Angie just all of a sudden fell in love with her, either. If I couldn't be a bitch to Miss Pretty Woman, I kinda enjoyed living vicariously through Angie's bitch-ocity. It's not that I don't like Randi... it's just that I don't like her. The only use I have for her is that she's the tool to get Cornelius Smith, Jr. shirtless.

I did, however, enjoy Zach mentioning that technically it's Ryan and his big mouth that set up the chain of events that killed Greenlee.

It will justify the absurdity of Ryan blaming Zach. If Zach says "Yes, I killed Greenlee," then Ryan will feel vindicated -- because, deep down, he knows he's the one who put the chain of events into motion. Greenlee would never have been on the road that night if Ryan didn't not only run his mouth about, but EMBELLISH The Kiss.

Ryan's really transparent. Saran wrap is harder to see through than this idiot. He feels extraordinarily guilty about his involvement in the whole Death of Greenlee scandal, that he feels if he blames someone he hates, rather than himself or Kendall, it will be easier. He doesn't want to burden Kendall with the guilt because Ryan's already been through the dead wife/ruined marriage routine before. He knows that as soon as his wife is no longer a viable option, he walks around town with his penis hanging out looking for grief sex. Why alienate the only woman that would give it to him?

This reminds me... I just realized how disappoint this all turned out. The promo surrounding Greenlee's death made it seem like some epic tale was about to unfold... and it hasn't. All we've been witnessing is Ryan doing his hoarse whispering all around town.

Wouldn't it be great if Greenlee was alive and decided to pretend she was dead so she'd never have to be around Ryan, Kendall, or Zach ever again? She can still talk to Jack, none of them care about him anyway, they'd never know.

Isn't he, though? And it doesn't help matters that he's played by such a limited (to be kind) actor. Cameron and Aiden have probably the most unexpressive eyes/faces on this show. It's a sad thing to say that even Brianne Moncrief has a more expressive face than these two. Yet, they're thrown story after story, love interest after love interest... while Cornelius Smith, Jr. and Daniel Kennedy are saddled with two of the most limited actresses on this show in Denise Vasi and Moncrief.

I mean, seriously. Aidan gets coldcocked and falls to the floor... gets up and acts like he wasn't even fazed by it.

Anyway, I enjoy watching TK eat CM up in these lame ass confrontation scenes with Ryan and Zach. And that's coming from me... who can't stand either Zach or Ryan.

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16N2KPYDxR/ During the livestream tribute to #DrakeHogestyn we discussed the taping of #JohnBlack funeral scenes on Days of our Lives beautifully stated by his TV children Eric Martsolf Martha Madison
    • 1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.
    • Ok, so the memorial felt a bit... underwhelming. I couldn’t help but wonder - where’s Julie? Would’ve made sense for her to be sitting next to Marlena. And Maggie, who’s been close to John and Marlena for decades? Sami? Hope? Carrie? What about Tony and Anna? Jack and Jen? And Will? And Kristen - even just a short, quiet scene of Eileen Davidson by his grave would’ve added so much depth. That said, Paul’s eulogy really stood out. The line “Can’t wait to play basketball with you again” was genuinely moving.
