So are we supposed to pretend that Eric was ever tempted by Kristen and that she didn't drug and rape him? Hopefully this gets acknowledged in the actual episode. I already don't understand the point of this Eileen cameo.

BTS from filming that... (filmed months ago but he didn't post the pic until December)

The stuff that is airing now was filmed back in August. Compare that to the Christmas movie which was taped the first week in November.

[janea4old]

Agree.  Lamon taped the Christmas episodes way back when. He simply wasn't allowed to release the BTS pics of the twins until December.

They still tape too far ahead IMO. I guess it's better than the six months ahead they were taping before the pandemic.

[John]

Days is now filmed thru mid June 2022. So they are six Months ahead.

For me it was never the taping ahead that was an issue, in fact, I don't give a darn if they tape two years in advance.  The idea that productions would change course due to audience response has always been a fallacy in my mind, and I don't think it matters when scenes are taped.

I don't like the production model where they film multiple episodes with one group of characters in a single set, and all of the action takes place within that bubble.  This was the same model before COVID, so I don't think it is a reaction to the pandemic, I would guess that it is just cheaper to film a couple of actors on one set and then edit it into multiple episodes. 

But, it feels claustrophobic.  I recall the classic Y&R when everyone would have breakfast together, then go to the office, then off to Gina's for lunch, and the Colonnade room for dinner.  The change in setting allowed different characters to interact and it felt like a town.  In Salem, people go weeks not seeing their relatives with whom they live, and nobody seems to care what is happening on the other side of town.

Am I the only grossed out by the Kristen morphing because it's actually his mom?  I know she's morphing into Kristen, but Jan was still Jan even though she morphed into Belle so wouldn't this be Marlena just morphed into Kristen making out with her own son?

[AlexElizabeth]

I would imagine that "Kristen" and Eric don't do anything together. At least I hope not. To me it's gross that they're writing Kristen as some kind of temptress when she literally drugged Father Eric into oblivion, raped him, recorded it, and showed the video to his entire family in a church. 

[Taoboi]

Thank you. I knew when they were fully back in the swing of things that they had at least made it to 3 months ahead...which I think is better than six months so they can pivot story-wise, but back to Six again. Alas.

 

 

[carolineg]

Yeah definitely, but they were sort of setting that up when 'kristen' was seducing John saying she seduced Eric.   There is no reason on earth Eric would be tempted by real or fake Kristen because that was never a thing.

[Jeff]

Ooh good point, this didn't occur to me, but what you're saying makes sense...

Imagine if Mardevil and Eric have sex and Marlena becomes pregnant
