I am on board for thinking RSW and VK have chemistry. Do I think they should have paired Ciara with a serial killer? No. But if they were going to do that they should have gone old school slow burn romance and kept them apart for years. After the initial cabin story (which if I blocked out him being a serial killer I did enjoy) they moved into this extremely lame sub plot where Ben moves in with Ciara, Tripp and Claire that did not work at all and then it was psycho after psycho. Keeping them apart because Ben is insecure and Ciara was uncomfortable with loving a serial killer at least would have built them time to adjust versus being thrown in.

Not to mention how obnoxious they made Ciara in defending a literal serial killer.

[AbcNbc247]

Exactly!

That’s the way it needed to be done. Have Ben and Ciara keep themselves apart rather than half of Salem do it. (I’m still Team Eve btw)

That way you have fans actually longing for them to be together

Okay, so who do we think

, and how many months do you think we'll have to wait before that information is revealed? 

My money is on

Lucas was breaking my heart today lol I’m glad that he’s being used so well

Probably lol it should almost be time for his annual visit

Poor Sami just as the story was hitting its stride.

 

Jake & Gabby are just as grating as Ben & Ciara are

I wish Kate and the DiMeras had Theo’s back on this. Has Theo met NuEJ? 

Tripp and NuChanel have decent chemistry actually, more than Tripp/Allie or Allie/Chanel IMO. Raven Bowens feels like a more solid actress but doesn’t have Precious Way’s charisma.

Why is Lani so mad at Paulina?  Did I miss something?  That's an honest question.  Lani is boring so I may have tuned out on something.  But isn't all Paulina guilty of is lying about the Pricetown plans that she cancelled?  Lani forgave Kristen for murders, attempted murders, kidnappings, etc and was her bff but Paulina's actions are too much for her?  It honestly seems like Paulina is just trying to be helpful even if it is throwing money around.

Well, at least it looks like the Cin stuff in concluding.  They weren't that annoying today.

 You didn't miss anything. Lani's still mad at her auntie. Over Paulina wanting to turn HTS into Price Town. Always found her boring too. 

[AbcNbc247]

True, this does seem out of character of Lani after everything she did for Kristen.

What would be smart is to have Eli forgive Paulina, but not Lani which could provide some good conflict for them 

I noticed that too.

Honestly, this storyline has the potential to be really good. I hope they play every beat of it.

[carolineg]

Thanks. I actually thought I might have missed something.  Lani has forgiven people for way more crap than this seemingly minor Paulina thing.  Obviously they are setting this up for Lani to actually be Paulina's daughter making Abe not her father.  At least that's what it looks like to me.   Did they do a DNA for Abe/Lani?  Not like that matters on Days....but still. 

[prefab1]

Well, they annoyed the hell out of me. That fortune cookie stuff was unbearable. 

[carolineg]

Fair.  They are annoying, but I felt they were less smug than usual so that's a win.   The memory thing was anti-climatic.  Ciara should have left and Ben could have cried his single tear and give up on life and then she runs back in and says she remembers everything...and END, but it's Ron.  The Chinese food thing is obnoxious, but I have been know to eat Chinese food for breakfast on occasion so I felt that.  It just looks like this arc is ending soon, so I am grateful. 

[prefab1]

Amen to that! Although I actually did like all those scenes of Ciara snarking at Ben for being a serial killer who disgusts her.
