Loved the scenes between EJ and Nicole I can't believe how Nicole is still blatantly lying even as the evidence is all out now. Sort of like Sami back in the day. Oh, and I thought the ending was completely random and came out of left field although I did like the campy, unapologetic dialogue. Michael Sabatino hasn't aged well, looking worse than he did on Passions a few years ago. But I look forward to this upcoming story.

James Scott is awesome when he's yelling. ITA, those scenes were powerful! I loved how EJ brought out the fake-baby-padding and then played the tape. And Nicole is still continuing to lie but EJ isn't buying it. The anticipation to these scenes have been wonderful. This is who you write soap opera!

Of course I'm watching! I just don't go into threads until I see the episodes, and dude, you gotta put spoilers in tags, man! ;) I was excited to see Carly and Lawrence too, but it was so weird for it to happen at the end of the episode with no lead up. People who don't know them must've went, "WTF was that!" LOL

*pulls out hair* You Fast forward those scenes??? What? They were some of the most important scenes to this story...the secret is coming out. Man, I'll never understand you. LOL

Exactly what I was alluding to in my earlier post. In face I had completely forgot that today was their first airdate. Still that dialogue was ruthless! "I wouldn't have married you if I knew what a monster you are!" "I wouldn't have married you if I knew what a bitch you are!"

I know Carly had amnesia for a while but she didn't still have it when she and Lawrence left together, right? If that's the case, I have to quibble with Carly's dialogue a little. She wouldn't have married him if she'd known what a monster he was? Really? So, rape and murder weren't the slightest tip-off for ya that he might be a bit off? :unsure:

I haven't been much of a fan of EJ but James Scott was fantastic today.

Carly got her memory back before she left Salem:

The actual dialogue was:

(off camera)

Carly: "I didn't realize then that I married such a total monster."

Lawrence: "And that I married such a total bitch."

*sound of a slap* (Lawrence hits Carly?)

Then we see Carly stab Lawrence.

I don't know their history since I wasn't watching back then, but how/why did Carly forgive Lawrence for raping Jennifer and all his misdeeds? Fast forward 16 years now, maybe Lawrence started doing some bad things (abuse?) to Carly and now she sees the light?

i have not watched carlys story in a long time but i think when carly left she knew she had her memories back but other people didnt. she also didnt marry lawerance before she left. i assumed she met married him not knowing what a monster he was as in she thought he had changed, since she obviously had since she was far from a bitch when she left. whatever the story is i have a feeling its long, complicated, and will take time to tell via flashback.

i have had anything nicole on FF for the past month pretty much. i am all for slow build and build up and whatnot, but after nons top lying i hve just become uninterested, she doesnt even seem to care that shes lying anymore. who am i sposed to root for here? car for here? the only person i can think of is mia and sami and niether were invovled so i didnt care. they need to move on fast, IMHO.

i think it could also be a wtf is this [!@#$%^&*]? i beter watch monday to find out. because o have two friends who called me about that scenes, 1 a longtime fan whos voicemail went "omfg! wtf?! Carly killed Lawarnce on Days?! CALL ME!" and another that went "umm, what was that last scene. im so confused" so... who knows. i liked it. i think the way they are bringing her back in interesting.

My memory may be a little shaky but here's what I remember. Lawrence was the person who dug Carly out of the coffin. He revived her and then took care of her. Lawrence nursed Carly back to health. During this time Carly had amnesia. Lawrence was very good to Carly during that time.

Carly got her memory back just before they were to leave Salem. She went to see Bo and they both realized that too many things had happened and they weren't going to work. Carly wanted to try and make a family with Lawrence and Nicky. She did remember all the things Lawrence had done. However, she thought he changed and was now more like the man who loved her while she was recuperating. She never did forgive him for raping Jennifer and all his misdeeds.

But it's a huge beat of the story that's being played out now. As a fan of the show, why wouldn't you want to watch it? It's not like the same scenes are being played over and over. When EJ pulled out the fake belly, you didn't stop FF and think, "Hm...what's that about?" Or when EJ played the recorder, you didn't think "What's going to happen now?" I just don't understand the logic of fast forwarding important scenes. :unsure: And the rooting value here is Nicole getting busted, EJ finding out the truth (or part of it), at least that's my rooting value.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
