victoria foxton Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) The pacing is totally off. No proper built-up at all. Lucas just came back. A couple of episodes before the murder. Lucas being a suspect in his niece's murder. Doesn't set well with me. The story lacks any real logic. This murder mystery is going to be just as bad or worse than Charlie's murder.

Members carolineg Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 Sarah's having hallucinations as a side effect. She said she was having hallucinations of Kristen today. So it's possible she went to see Abby and had some sort of hallucination or episode and killed her by mistake. I think the fact Abigail is a legacy character born onscreen should pique more interest than Lani's new, abusive dad who we barely knew, but I don't know if the story will be any good. Yeah, I think you all are right about it being the Salem Inn, but with all these re used sets I never know. Agreed. And the excuse is he's black out drunk. I think most of us have done regrettable things while drunk, but it's a leap to suddenly become a violent murderer. And someone so drunk would have a difficult time stabbing and killing a completely sober person as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 LOL! I meant it in the sense that there's already one murder mystery that's a big ol' dud. So, why bring yet another murder if they have no desire to get the first one done? As aforementioned, Paulina and Co. haven't been around since May 18th. Yes, I get that Abigail is a legacy character, but I want to see more minority representation and the way they're writing Paulina, Abe, Eli, Lani is based on when it's convenient for the writers. I mean, unless this is a serial killer storyline, having two different murder storylines is hogwash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noel Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 LOL! And you put it simplistically! The problem with me is that I have 10 million thoughts inside my head. Guilty as charged.

Members carolineg Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 Ha ha! You both said the same thing. I know the Paulina/Lani murder storyline isn't over, but I don't consider it a mystery. We know Lani killed him. Do we need two murder stories? Probably not, but this is an actual who done it and I do think both stories are different. I mean, you both aren't wrong and I assume this story will be poorly done as well, but I consider Abigail's shocking murder a little more high stakes. We knew Ray was a goner from the start lol. The pacing on the show is a disaster but I think Abe/Paulina are on next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 LOL! No coroner report so far. It's Beth who was crawling on floor wanting to seize her revenge! Please register in order to view this content You're probably going to have to keep reminding me that this is a whodunit mystery because you know what? It felt nothing of the sorts, lol! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 These stories are always predictable so I'm guessing none of the immediate suspects will actually be the killer. It'll be someone random like Orpheus (since they love to bring him back all the time) or someone in a mask. Ron's stories never have consequences so I'm expecting it to be someone totally unimportant. They really should've had more buildup to this murder. We had like 2 episodes of characters wanting revenge on Abigail. It came out of nowhere. I'm assuming Sarah is supposed to be a suspect, and they didn't even bother to show the stuff with her hallucinating on screen. It's all out of nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) The set-up for Friday's episode alone was ok, but I agree that the buildup was seriously lacking. This needed to play out for the whole week. It looks to me like it was a budget issue, but this really needed to be one of those times where they should said "Forget the budget" and just go all out. We should have seen Sarah hallucinating and freaking out, there should have been a scene of Lucas confronting Abigail, and that's been a problem for a while: too much stuff is happening offscreen Nahhh... he'd never turn his Real Housewife Lisa Rinna into a psycho Please register in order to view this content But I do think your correct in thinking that Ron doesn't like Lucas. Or Chad and Abigail for that matter Well, tbf, your guy got some special treatment too But I did read that Ron got tired of writing these half couples (Wilson, Chabby, Cin) and there may be a lot of changes this summer because of that.

Members FrenchBug82 Posted June 11, 2022 Members Share Posted June 11, 2022 If ya’ll think the buildup for the red herring suspects is lacking wait until we find out the killer is somebody completely random and their motive is WTF. Like Tripp possessed by the Devil or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 12, 2022 Administrator Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not another stupid murder mystery. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed one. This is DAYS, so Abby better not be dead for real. She should be one of the lead female characters on the show. And I love Marci so that adds to the disappointed of Abby being killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Melroser Posted June 13, 2022 Members Share Posted June 13, 2022 How can an episode where a soap kills off a legacy character be so damn boring? I tried to tune in to see what was going on and I can't keep watching. Ali/Chanel + snore. Tripp leaving town again....ok, whatever. Susan...I just can't sit through. What a horrible mix of scenes today when this ep should be going all out hyping up Abigail's death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted June 13, 2022 Members Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Caught it on Youtube, and yeah, I got a little misty eyed watching Billy Flynn Please register in order to view this content I didn't even expect it. It just happened. Still don't see a reason why Abby had to be murdered, but I hope it leads to BF being used more effectively. There's a lot more that they could do with him rather then have him pimp himself out to Leo. I also find it interesting that Abby said "They had a knife" Edited June 13, 2022 by AbcNbc247 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted June 13, 2022 Members Share Posted June 13, 2022 All this weekend I kept asking myself WHY aren't we all traumatized by this terrible wasteful death?!! We're mad. We're indignant. We think we know better than TPTB what should have been done instead. All thinking, no feeling. Didn't touch us. How badly can someone botch a death of a popular legacy character? I guess we're seeing how badly Ron Can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
