Members Antoyne Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 I’m just happy that story will finally have an ending. I hated the open ended of the story and that it was never acknowledged for months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm thrilled to have Sarah back. Her abrupt exit was a mess, and I really liked her and Xander together. Xander with Gwen is awful. I'm also glad LG is ready to come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 ?? I personally thought her "exit" was one of the best in soap, these days. Setting up for further story down the line. I love how DAYS has been planting seeds for future story where the pay off isn't for 6 months to a year. I miss that in soap. It's really boring how there is none of that and everything wraps up in a few weeks-to-a month, because writers believe viewers are impatient, and then stories really suffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Well it was a mess to me with LG suddenly leaving and the show scrambling to figure out how to write Sarah off. We had Kristen running around in her umpteenth mask, which I hated. Then the story was left hanging for months and is only being revisited now because LG is able to come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 12, 2022 Members Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yeah... Rex and the mask were not needed. It would have much more sense if Kristen had just sent Sarah to the island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 Sarah getting trapped on an island wasn't a terrible idea, but it was obvious it was a rushed exit and they had no plan for Xander afterwards. That is what really sunk her exit for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 LG and the character deserved better, IMO. They misused her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 I guess they're getting story out of it now, but that exit was so weird and abrupt. Why couldn't they just have had her finally object to one of Xander's 12,000 crimes and go off to visit Melissa and clear her head for a while? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 To be fair, this exit created more drama in the sense that Xander moved on with Gwen because he thought he was dumped by Sarah, but at the same time he wasn't. So there's actually a love triangle there that's at least somewhat complex where no party is exactly wrong (well, except for Gwen for keeping Sarah's whereabouts from Xander). I don't mind them taking a while for Sarah to return tbh - I just hope this isn't another case where Sarah will end up popping in and out of the show a la Ali Sweeney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 Totally. I wish they'd actually accounted for WHY people didn't question Sarah's whereabouts sooner. If Maggie couldn't get a hold of her other than the odd text message, why didn't she contact Rex? Why didn't Roman or Kate happen to ask Rex, "Hey, how are things with Sarah?" during the months he was gone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 Exactly! Or at least with her gone it should've been brought up by her family that she has been gone for a while with no contact. Let's call up Melissa to see if she is there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Kristen had used Sarah's cellphone to text Maggie that Sarah was enroute to leave the USA to go to some far-off place to do "Doctors Without Borders" and would be unreachable. Maggie fell for it. All this time, Maggie believed that Sarah was with Doctors Without Borders, unreachable. I think Kristen-as-Sarah sent a similar text to Rex -- that she'd decided against a relationship with Rex, and would be out of the country unreachable. Something along those lines. Since Sarah made it clear (via text) that she didn't want a relationship, Rex simply accepted it. But Kristen didn't text Xander in the same way, that Sarah was out of the country. Instead, Kristen set it up so that Xander would believe Sarah left town with Rex. The ruse was discovered only recently when Xander encountered Rex visiting Salem -- and he asked Rex about Sarah, and Xander learned that Sarah had never left with Rex. I mean all of this is sort of reasonable? But you'd think that if Sarah really was with Doctors Without Borders, there would have been an occasional opportunity for her to get a message out to Maggie by email or postal mail, etc. But yeah the point made by another poster above ... Wouldn't Roman and Kate have asked Rex how Sarah is? Edited January 13, 2022 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 They retroactively explained that Rex had joined Doctors Without Borders, too, so I guess it's possible that Kate and Roman didn't really have contact with him until he showed up. But they didn't explain any of this until Sarah had been gone for months and months. It does not feel like it should've taken THIS long for anyone to realize something was amiss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AlexElizabeth Posted January 13, 2022 Members Share Posted January 13, 2022 It'll be good to see them. I wonder if they'll bring Parker with them. I've never understood why Chloe isn't raising her son. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
