Stefano's death should've been bigger and involved more characters, particularly John and Marlena. It should've been Marlena the one who killed him.   He was DAYS' biggest and most well known villain and he goes out like that? With no storyline? Killed for something he didn't do? Come on.   

 

Stefano was one of my favourite characters and I'm disappointed with how his story ended.  

I couldn't agree more, Toups.  I can't believe that's it.

Here's one quote about his "disappearing" (that's a strange term to use) health: 

 

"There have been several reports that Joseph Mascolo’s health has been disappearing recently. In an emanate of National Enquirer, an inside source offering a few sum on what led to Mascolo’s firing. The uncover insider claimed that a 86-year-old actor had been traffic with Alzheimer’s illness for over a year before he suffered a crippling cadence final March.

If this news is true, it would positively be formidable for Mascolo to keep adult a chaotic gait during “Days of Our Lives.”

The source remarkable that Mascolo began to have problem remembering lines as a outcome of his condition. Mascolo has been wheelchair firm for a while now as well. “Days” attempted to work around it by essay in a heart conflict for Stefano. However, it appears a producers were apropos increasingly endangered for Mascolo’s health. “It’s so comfortless to be declare to his solid decline,” pronounced a insider." 

That whole text is strange. I've read the article it's based on.

 

The Alzheimer’s part is just a rumor. But the other things we know, like his problems remembering lines and the legs. Joe himself has talked about the leg problem several times.

 

Please don't post things from the National Enquirer or other tabloids. Be smarter than that. 

I cant with this teen PSA story. Not interested

 

Its too bad the actress playing Ciara is so bad bc she is gorgeous and looks like she could be the young daughter of Hope

Clearly Rafe and Hope could use some advice from Olivia's OPA team in regards to how quickly you clean up a murder scene. Good God, stand around debating and arguing while you're in the room with a dead body! Especially in the Dimera mansion. Are we suppose to believe that no staff/security would have heard gunshots and come in? I get that they explained Andre was off looking for Chad...but damn. How long were they in that room!?

I'm guessing Harold is asleep, considering he was up until 5 a.m. in full formal dress!

J/K. My bad. 

 

In all seriousness though, I hope they are a little more open & honest about Joe Mascolo's health condition. I understand if he's a proud man who doesn't want his business all out there, but it's better than having people believe he was unjustly "fired."

I actually don't think she looks like Hope beyond being a brunette. However she is gorgeous and if she puts in a lot of work might be able to grow as an actress.  Unfortunately her first real role she's in way over her head

I see DOOL scraped some money for the kids high school set. The lighting on the HS isn't all dark like most of the other sets. Theo's bulling story is a great idea but with Josh And Dena writing it it's doomed. No one in the DiMera Staff heard all the noise and babbling Rafe and Dark Fancy Face were making? Billy Flynn's and Kyler Pettis's beautiful faces made watching this episode somewhat bearable. I wonder who Ava's and Patches kid is?  There's a nice chemistry between Chase and Claire.

I'm torn. If they wrote Nicole as someone who never wanted children, I'd be behind that all the way. Soaps need more women who just don't want children and don't change their minds about it when they have an oopsie. Since we've seen Nicole struggle through losses and she's been written as wanting children I wouldn't mind if she finally gets to have her baby. Who cares if it's Daniel's? He's dead.

 

My own random speculation is that Steve and Ava's son will turn out to be Chad.

 

ETA: Forgot about the incest aspect. Woopsie!

I can't with the Rafe/Hope story. I wouldn't be hating it this much if it were 2 people that weren't supposed to be sainted police detectives. 

 

I liked the Chad/Andre/Abby stuff and enjoyed Theo/Lani's scenes they were better than Theo/Ciara.   

 

How old is Ava and Patch's kid supposed to be? It no way can be Chad, because that would make him and Abby biological first cousins.

Ava's story makes no sense

I thought hte boy was Chase at first and then that new teen that was introduced. Based on what we learned today, the kid would likely be in his 20s, so Chad would be the right age but they wont go there. For all we know though this is all a lie and there is no child

Looks like Josh is trying to duplicate his bullying story from Y&R

Stefano's death should have been huge. Start with a big promo

For years he has wreaked havoc on their lives...various flashback shots of Stef over the years

Now he must finally pay the price...close up of gun firing,Stefano slumping

One of these Salem residents has had enough...montage of various characters

But who will be the one to finally end his reign of terror??

So viewers know from the start that someone will kill Stefano off for good and can go along for the ride.

Yeah, I agree. Even if JM's health limited what he could do on screen they could have built the majority of the story around the suspects.  I'm just sad the Stefano went out like this.

 

Marlena kind of pissed me off when Nicole said she couldn't tell her what to do and Marlena grabbed her and said "Oh yes I can".  Nicole was not being that over the top with Eric. In the next scene Marlena showed a bit of compassion, but it annoys me that she didn't directly admit Eric's guilt and show some remorse for her son's actions. I'm not saying Marlena is responsible for her grown son's crime, but I do think the family of a perpetrator should be deferential to the victim's loved ones.
