RIP Stefano.
Though I thought it was nice that today was very vet-heavy and that everyone came together to finally put Stefano to rest, for good, I feel like there were also some mistakes made. And Dimitri definitely should've been a part of the memorial. Like, where the hell did he go? Regardless of Peter Porte, it would've been nice to get his perspective on Stefano, the grandfather that he never knew. The one thing his character needs more than anything is to be taken away from Gwen and Leo, and put into somebody else's orbit, and today could've been the chance for that to happen, or at least be set up to happen. And for the writers to not take that chance is pretty stupid.
And, I still say that they're missing the mark with Johnny and Chanel. Johnny should never have been the one to suggest the memorial, regardless of how close he and Stefano were. He should have disowned the entire family, and been completely on Marlena's/the Brady's side. It would just make sense, considering everything that he found out last year. I also feel like it would be very karmic for the Dimera's, as a whole. And Chanel should be the one trying to mend fences between them, which in turn, could cause good conflict for her and Johnny. It feels like such a missed opportunity. But I did think that Carson did a good job today, especially when he gave that monologue at Stefano's urn.
The flashback to Stevano was a little unnecessary though lol
I also thought Theo was a little douchy to Abe at the beginning, but at the same time, I think it makes sense based on the storyline. Having the two of them continue to be at odds could lead to something interesting happening, especially if Liam gets involved in it somehow. I'm looking forward to when Theo finds out about his part in the kidnapping.
And while I'm not a fan of Kate becoming jealous of Roman and Marlena, I thought she was used pretty effectively today. Including her in the memorial was the right choice. I especially liked the little scene between her and Chad, and that Days remembered their relationship. I'm also glad that Roman, and then Marlena got to have their closure moments with Stefano as well. And with the way that today ended, I'm curious to see if that's going to end up meaning something.
Like I said... as bad as it was, it was still worth watching 😉😂😂
Dimitri needs a much, much better storyline than this.
