The thing about Ben/Ciara is that the audience does have strong feelings about them (unlike, say, Eli and Lani). It's just that about half those viewers are hate-watching Ben/Ciara. So I think this is a pretty brilliant way to handle such a divisive couple's wedding, because half of the audience will be rooting for the bomb.

Agreed. The two actors have a lot of chemistry, but if the show wanted to present RSW as a romantic lead, they should have done a better job coming up with an excuse for his serial killer storyline. It could have been anything from a brain tumor to "Clyde brainwashed him," and it would have been better than the half-hearted "recovery" story we got.

 

Now Ciara just looks like a naive, deluded young woman who believes that her love has "redeemed" this violent, dangerous man. And if Days wanted to lean into the psychological realism of that, it would be an interesting story to tell. But they clearly have no interest in realism, instead selling Cin as a fairytale romance. And it doesn't really work--Ben's murders are just too close to reality for many viewers to suspend their disbelief and buy into the fairytale. Maybe if he'd been a vampire instead of a serial killer...

Honestly, I would've gone full-on retcon and just had his sister being the culprint and gaslighting him into believing he did it. Hence why she died in the time jump - he finally found out and oh-uh, did it push him over the edge?

 

Cheesy? Yes. Better than having a lead heroine marry a serial killer? Yes.

That's what they needed to do. Instead of forcing Ben down our throats and destroying countless characters in the process, they really need to take their time with him and Ciara, that way, after a while people would actually be rooting for them. 

 

It worked for Bill the rapist and Jack the rapist, it also would have worked for Ben the serial killer.

As someone who's a month and a half behind in watching, it's nice to be confused with a lot of what's going on because it means SOMETHING has been happening... Can someone "spoil" me and tell me the Justin/Kayla/Steve junk is wrapped up and backburnered?

At the altar, Justin realized that Kayla still had feelings for Steve and told her he couldn’t marry her. Kayla then realized it too, and rushed to the airport to find Steve, who had accepted an undercover assignment with the ISA and was leaving Salem. At first she thought she was too late, but it turned out Steve didn’t get on the plane. They’re reunited now.

I just can't get behind this couple. The fact that everyone is so forgiving of a SERIAL KILLER is too much. Totally agree that if they just had to keep the character they needed to figure out a way that he wasn't the actual killer.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      -- Leslie's "Miss Bitch to you" comment was priceless, but let's not forget the good moment when Ted called her a bitch. -- I like nuTed as a counterpoint to Leslie. I don't need someone who comes off as a killer every time they meet. Nicole would not have married -- or lasted -- with that kind of guy.  -- And honestly, I never thought former Ted was close to wanting to Kill Leslie, either. -- Vanessa has become obnoxious to me. Her lecture and attack on Ted was ludicrously hypocritical. The biggest slut in town weighing in on cheating in a marriage? Spare me. -- Joey and Vanessa are going to have sex on the table in his casino backroom? So romantic, Vanessa. Just what you want in another guy. Spare me. -- Good Anita/Tracy scenes, but we need to move past scenes in which details aren't given about "what happened." It's not realistic that they'd keep having conversations and never get down to specifics. -- The previews for next week look insanely good.

      Ciara/Victoria usually wears Free People, Revolve, or Aritizia, which is expensive, but mid tier. Most of the girls on the show wear the same brands.  You can find it cheap at Nordstrom rack.  Like the John Varvatos jackets that every guy wears lol. I do retail for a living so I have a bit of knowledge on this.  The prices the Worn on TV shows aren't real.  It's just the original retail price.

      Ah, gotcha Ciara with an I not Ceara with an E. Also, according to the shopping site, Sami's outfit was pricey because it was the jacket from one suit, and the pants from another.  Can you imagine anyone wearing that awful green tweed from head to toe?  This is one time that costuming did a character a solid and broke up that pattern.

      Aqua is an in house brand for Bloomingdales.  It's not terribly pricey, but not cheap. $150 for dresses.

      Also, just checked, Hope was wearing Alice + Olivia ($595) and Sami wore a more shocking green, and it was by Aqua (price not indicated)

      CIARA's outfit would have been fine if the cameraman wasn't literally filming down her shirt.  You could see Victoria's bra and boobs for at least half the episode lol.

      Also, I'm giving Hope's Chanel jacket and Ceara's leather pants a pass, because I don't think they knew that they would wind up in Salem today when they got dressed.  So, there's been no time/opportunity to change outfits. Although

      it reminded me that Sami and Hope seemed to have both shopped at a Chanel-knockoff outlet recently.  And if Hope, Ceara, and Bo suddenly have a change of clothes next week, I'm gonna need a throwaway line about how Hope raided Aunt Maggie's closet because of all that shopping she's been doing with Julie. Yep, it must be why they so rarely show flashbacks of the whole wedding party. Caroline looks like Kate 1.0

      Lol.  I just really disliked Melissa. Melissa was gone before Billie and I THINK before Carly. I have no idea who the people are on the right of Bo.  Was that the weird time they recast Caroline and Shawn?  I think the kids are Eric and Sami.   Marlena and Abe look fancy and fresh lol.
