Members RavenWhitney Posted May 1, 2018 Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 Whose idea was it to have Drake investigate the DiMera sofa cushions on Monday's episode? Oy, Drake, Drake, Drake..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 1, 2018 Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 Deidre is underrated at comedy, but it seems that they only play her for slapstick now. Vivian/Kate/Marlena is just a slightly less goofy version of Hattie/Bonnie/Anjelica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 1, 2018 Author Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 Same people that still have Chad clueless about Abigail's condition. I can't believe how they have dumb downed these characters to milk this horrible DID story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 1, 2018 Members Share Posted May 1, 2018 I recall Sheri Anderson employing the Marlena being held hostage trope when she headwrote briefly in the early 90s with her being trapped down in the pit. The difference then was that there was months of build up to that event with her kidnapper Stella being the wife of one of Marlena's patients.. and her being defensive at first because of Marlena being a therapist then becoming jealous that her husband and son were responding to Marlena's efforts, then that jealousy turning to rage and finally kidnapping Marlena by throwing her in the pit. Then John discovers it and he gets held hostage in the pit and then a guilt ridden Stella dies just as she is about ready to confess to what she'd done. And here is the kicker... there was long lasting fall out from Marlena/John being held hostage such as the affair between John/Marlena, Sami witnessing one of their encounters and starting her descent to the dark side, Belle being conceived, Sami coming between Austin/Carrie, Will being conceived, etc. If there is long term fall out from Marlena, Vivian, and Kate being trapped in that basement room.. then Ron isn't as bad as I suspect.. but most likely nothing will come of it other then him just figuring out how to use three veterans women for a few weeks just to say he uses veterans.

Members MichaelGL Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ron loves referencing the possession storyline..... Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 Kind of agreed but I'll take some laughs. I also liked the possession flashbacks. I don't think the story is meant to be a "Marlena's kidnapped" story. It's just a part of an overall story. Not saying it's great. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 What was the other time he mentioned? I must have missed it. I never heard Marlena discuss with anyone before, I found it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 I believe it was referenced to around the time Ron first started writing as a tongue in cheek thing. I just wish he would write an actual story for Marlena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have never heard Marlena discuss it either (or the show in years, tbh). I liked they played it for laughs, but the flashbacks literally showed Days spent more production money on the levitation/rocking beds scenes than they have the entire last two years combined.

Members Gray Bunny Posted May 2, 2018 Members Share Posted May 2, 2018 All her recollection is through the tellings of others, though. As far as we understood it afterwards, she did not remember what she did while under possession. I think she once flashed back to the time she threw Stefano off the balcony, thus making her feel guilty and offering to help convalesce Stefano, as he was wheelchairbound and had amnesia. Funny how I can remember 1995 like it was yesterday, but stuff they've done since 2005 is all a big blur to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Skylover Posted May 15, 2018 Members Share Posted May 15, 2018 I loved all those scenes depicting Abi's subconscious! Brilliant! Andre appearing was awesome too. Some great scenes between Stefan and Marlena too. The actress playing Abi is great! Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
