DOOL: Spoilers, 11-15 April

I'm hearing rumors they're breaking up Sonny and Will and pairing Sonny with either Craig, Gabi or Leo. This show just keeps getting worse.

A split up yet Ciara and Ben are happily together doing nothing. No story...nada!

Why won't they just bring back Paul if they are splitting Will/Sonny up?

Idk, what are they really going to do with Ciara/Ben?  VK seems to tape a bunch of shows in a few days so Ciara can't really have a new romance and Ben will never be a viable love interest for anyone because he's a serial killer lol.

Well, can you blame them for going in this direction?  At this point, ZT can make more of a commitment to the show than CM can.  Keeping Sonny tethered to Will will limit him story-wise.

Once upon a time, I really would have made a bigger deal out of Ben unable to find work due to his criminal background.  Even now, with a baby on the way, we should see Ben struggle to provide for his growing family financially, and the toll that that takes on his and Ciara's marriage.  (Especially when the only gig he can land is one at a strip club, trading on his past notoriety as the "Necktie Killer.") But that ship has probably sailed.

I am always unclear if Ciara has a job.  Does she work at Titan? Ben works at the garage still, right?  There should be a lot more angst about Ben having a child and the financial responsibilities, but I guess the devil wanting to steal their child is bigger angst-even though much stupider.

But Ben turning to sex work to support his family would be a plot point I could enjoy.

I cannot believe this is all still going and they still haven't retconned Ben being a motherfucking serial killer.

Ron must really, really take the response to the OLTL rapemance and Franco personally.

It is ludicrous to suggest Sonny's only options are the much older man, the gay villain stereotype and a woman. Come on. If they broke those two up and gave him an actual separate romance, which I doubt knowing DAYS, it will be someone new or it will be a Paul recast.

Agree.

Wait, Ciara (possibly) works for a business conglomerate, while Ben's a grease monkey?  Oh, yeah.  That marriage is gonna last forever.  [/sarcasm]

Idk, I thought I heard Ciara yapping about working at Titan or getting her job back there awhile ago.  Her attire on the show suggests she does not work at a business conglomerate though.  I do think Ben still works at the garage though.  Someone has to work.

I'm not gonna lie, Ben strikes me as the type who would get all pissy and angry that his wife makes more money than he does

And if they're really gonna break up Sonny and Will (for a while anyway), now would be the perfect time for them to bring back Paul. The actor himself is hoping for it, and it would make much more sense for Sonny to reunite with the man that he almost married rather than a guy he hates.

What, you don't believe Ben and Ciara (and their baby) could live on love alone?

Ben and Ciara arguing over the disparity in their salaries, with old-fashioned Ben believing he, and not his wife, should be the proverbial breadwinner, would give them genuine conflict and better definition - so, of course, Ron Carlivati is gonna run like hell from it.

Lol, no.  John/Marlena probably could though.

I am pretty sure Ciara has some sort of trust fund as well.  From Victor.  From Bo.  From Doug/Julie.  I don't think she's poor or anything.  She probably just doesn't tell Ben she pays the bills and he does think their love is paying for their expenses lol.

Sonny and Gabi??

Years ago, I actually wrote out a story idea where Sonny did question his sexuality, which led Will to a very dark place of anger and betrayal before he connected with the old Horton tenets of being a good person and forgiving and so on (and I might have had him fall for a priest, given all the priest kink in his family history), but it's not something I would ever trust these writers with. And if it does happen, I would also wonder if they only care about pairing Sonny with a woman because a "hot" actor is now in the role. 

Sad to say I think I still might prefer Sonny and Gabi to pathetic Leo, the face of Ron Carlivati's deep-seated issues regarding gay men, and Craig, a shameful, unnecessary retcon that seems to have belly flopped with the remaining viewer base.

Oh, Will (or any gay man) falling in love with a priest would be a FANTASTIC story to watch.

I don't think she is either.  But, again, the opportunity for organic conflict is there -- Ciara feels comfortable providing financially for their family, but Ben is determined to provide for them and be an all-around better dad to their kid than Clyde was to him and Jordan -- and Ron Carlivati's ignoring it completely.  We should be enthralled with the lengths that Ben would go to to support the family.  Instead, we're being forced to watch dumb [!@#$%^&*] about gender reveal parties and the devil laying claim on the baby for reasons we're still not 100% clear about.

I don't think Days has done organic conflict since like 1993, but I agree.  

I assume the devil wants the kid because it will be ridiculously good looking and probably dumb and slightly evil.  Like why wouldn't the devil just take Henry when the devil is in Allie's body and the child was the product of rape and an evil man as well?

Which is why their budget today is literally someone's SSI benefits, and why their core audience has dwindled down to a group of Omaha housewives who don't trust the Internet.

And when it comes to the devil's motivations for wanting the baby, your theory's as good as anyone else's, lol.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
