So, I guess now that it's finally official, RIP Stefano.
As insufferable as EJ and Kristen were yesterday, I thought they did a better job today as they absorbed the news, and also how it was tied back to their current feelings for each other. The dialogue kinda hinted that there may be a little growth coming for the character of Kristen, and there really should be. There has been a little change in her character since the new writers came in but if we're gonna be stuck with her, there needs to be more. And as annoying as EJ and Rafe get sometimes, their sparring wasn't all that bad either... until Rafe started to be a dick again lol. And now that Cat knows that Rafe helped Hope cover up Stefano's "murder", something interesting might happen.
As for Cat and Chad, I admit that I probably would have enjoyed their scene together if I actually liked them as a couple. It's almost like they're in a classic soap dilemma. Btw, if they're gonna keep mentioning Andrew, and the work that he's doing, he really should be onscreen full time.
I do wonder who put the bones in the crypt though. But hopefully, this is it for Stefano. It's well past the time to let him rest. And honestly, as much as I like the trope, the days of the soap supervillain are over, in general.
I enjoyed Theo and Johnny's scenes as well. I have mixed feelings about the whole Bonnie's book thing, but I'm interested in seeing what happens if Johnny goes ahead and has it published, and it ends up hurting Dimera. Maybe we'll get a Theo/Johnny feud lol
But I definitely don't know about Johnny wanting to be the one to plan a fitting memorial for Stefano. He should be the one most against it, if anything, just because of everything that Stefano did to John/Marlena and the Bradys. It just makes sense for him to basically be the "anti-Dimera", which could lead to a lot of good conflict for him and everyone around him. It would be like a natural story transition for him, based on everything that happened last year, in addition to him trying to take down EJ and what he's planning at the lab, which we learned more about today. I don't understand why the writers chose not to do it.
And we saw Liam again! We got more insight into his character today. And while he and Abe do work well together, he needs much, much more to do. Having him appear once every few weeks was just weird. Maybe this all would've worked better if he had been more of a sexy bad boy type. And also got involved in some kind of feud with Theo, with Abe caught in the middle. Hopefully, that backstory hasn't been dropped either.
But I'm very interested in seeing what happens if it turns out that Liam actually was the one who was helping Peter with the kidnapping.
