Caroline is beyond irritating. I can't stand her. I think it's ridiculous that she changed the results and I couldn't believe her reasons for doing it. She was acting like a total nut today. Can we please get back to the days when she was just a nice little old lady who babysit the kids, made clam chowder, & had motivating pep talks with people at the pub?

^^ Actually, I can buy Caroline's excuses - in the Days contextual world

First of all she's royally PO'd that Victor isn't pining for her anymore. She liked being the Brady Martyr with a taste of Victor on the side, and now Victor has his interests elsewhere. And we can be pretty assured that it's not about Vivian at all - she's angry about Maggie. Caroline has already taken it out on Maggie a couple of times and shown that she's all screwy on this point. The rest I'm able to see as justification after the fact, but Maggie is the real issue.

And from a writing POV it's rather clever. Here's Maggie - the woman we all love no matter what. What can they do for a storyline? Not much, as has been shown over the years. She had her mate and that was the end of it. Suddenly Maggie is the new central character and they have conflict all around her. She's got a new love interest, and two jealous ex-lovers of the man who rather than accepting the fact that he's moved on are using Maggie and their excuse to act out. And she's a centrally placed figure for the younger Kiriakis crowd. I also got the sense yesterday that they will have Magic involved in the Bope prison mystery/reunion. Maggie is the word, and Caroline is now quickly becoming the anti-Maggie.

It might not be great, but it's a story with the old guard that doesn't involve babysitting. Anyway you cut it, it's bonus time for the 60+.

This Caroline twist is so stupid! WTF? :wacko: Caroline knows how to hack into hospitals now? [Keyshawn Johnson]COME ON, MAN![/Keyshawn Johnson] And how did Caroline know that Philip slept with Chloe? Did Steph tell her?

Also, she sounded like Helena Cassadine!

Yup. I want that Caroline back.

I gladly await the scene(s) where Sami calls Caroline out on her hypocrisy. Nobody gave it to Sami more than Caroline when Sami would be a schemin' and a plottin'. Now the shoe's on the other foot!

She could serve up a nice cup of tea, too. But then Victor can tell ya all about her teabagging specialties :lol:

And this is better? I think it's out of character for her switch the paternity results because she wants to Stephanie to be happy. And her whole spew of "the world doesn't need anymore Kiriakis'"....WTF.

Yup, just another part of Caroline's destruction and to get more people to hate her. But I see what TPTB are doing - destroying one character to prop up another.

You know, how many people in Salem in the past had the power to change DNA results? I don't remember hearing all this "Caroline's destruction" when JER was writing for Days. What story did she have then? She sat around doing nothing, like some others in the over 60 crowd. But now it's a problem?

I love it, especially her bringing up her affair with victor and Bo's parentage. She said she wished that could have remained a secret forever. This just didn't start overnight, IMO, and it gives her something juicy to do instead of smiling and offering folks something to drink when they come into The Pub.

Hell, I would bet against the fact that she will probably have something to do with something else. But her character destruction? No, we see that totally different.

Then why didn't she switch the paternity results for Sami when she was pregnant with a Dimera? Why wasn't she thinking of Sami's happiness? Why didn't she help keep Carly away from Bo, why isn't she actively doing that? And how does this make any sense logistically? How did Caroline switch the results? When did Caroline find out? How is this plausible? How come she hasn't done anything bad like this for the past 20 years?

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.

      I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!

      that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
