I forgot to say something about John today! I was remiss because it's a biggie!  After the Kristenonian royalty left John said, I bet I know what Brady was doing! I bet he was looking for the serum! Ding Ding Ding who is our hero today?!

Also I forgot to say something about Dee. I was remiss because it's hilarious! When she was having close contact convo with Rachel the little princess held her wand right in front of Deidre & she deftly moved that wand out from in front of her so it was no longer between her & the  camera! I roared!

Allie and especially Gabi aren't the same as Marlena, Hope, Jen, or even Maggie as parents.  Gabi lives her entire life like Ari doesn't exist.  Sonny/Will are shown to be much more active participants in parenting even in the way their conversations are framed.  Allie mentions Henry more, but it seems like Nicole practically parents Henry because she's always with him lol.

Marlena and especially RoJohn, were shown with Carrie and the twins quite a bit.  Their lifestyles and decisions did reflect the fact they had children and they were mentioned often.  Same with Hope/Bo and Jen.  Shawn-D and Abby were important to both Bo/Hope and Jen/Jack/Peter storylines and helped shaped their identities even if we didn't see them.  Was it a realistic portrayal of parenthood?  No, but you knew they were part of their lives.  Allie and, more specifically, Gabi act like they have no children and it didn't change anything about how they live their lives.  

Plus, it's a lot more realistic to believe John/Marlena having free time because they were rich and had a full time nanny doing the cooking, cleaning, transportation for the kids, etc.   Allie and Gabi were both young single mothers that barely struggled at all.  

ETA-John was good today.  He had the Salem brain today with Brady and hit all the appropriate points on the Kristen idiocy.

Come to think of it, when John Black was single parenting Carrie & the twins we did see him as a parent often, ... I'm not sure how much of the behavior was male rather than female, but it was there & it was consistent & the twins were more or less oblivious but Carrie got a lot out of it, natural because she was older & in some ways needier. Carrie would have been up a river without John!

As to the rest I can only respectfully agree to disagree. But, touche' for reminding me about John.

So I’m completely caught up with the show now. I work from home so I’ve binge watching it for weeks in the background while I work.

Honestly I still enjoy the show. Maybe I don’t have super high expectations.

I have a newfound appreciation for Brandan Barash. His Stefan is COMPLETELY different than his Jake even down to how he speaks. Whereas RSW is just playing Ben as a playboy instead of a reformed serial killer hero.

I cannot find it to post it but earlier I saw a tweet that years ago John told Eric he could drive now since Sami drove earlier & Eric told him he knew he couldn't drive a car & they had a sweet moment that lined up virtually one for one with the sweet moment Eric had with Holly today about what car was she driving these days. I have no memory of it but boy it made me choke up. I'm just a sucker for certain sentiment.

DOOL Fr. 10-28-22

OMG, what a day!

Cast: Alex, Stephanie, Paulina, Sloan, Tripp, Steve/Patch, EJ, Ava, Chad, Kayla, Joey, Susan Banks, someone who will be named when they arrive

Paulina is leaving a phone msg for Stephanie & is hollering at her

Tripp & Steve around the Nurses station (Steve is in a pirate costume with a parrot permanently on his left shoulder.) Trying to get Tripp to stay in Salem, loves having him here, met this little patient, Malachi, who adored Tripp as his doc.

Tripp - I am headed to Seattle tonight. Ticket is ready.

Sloan to Paulina - impatient client, price has gone up, tomorrow morning at the latest. You are 5 pts ahead in the polls. You can't afford for us to go public with this tomorrow!

Stephanie - hearing about PR work from Alex. She has an ask for him.

Tripp to Steve - Ava was going to marry Jake. EJ ran her out of town. All I've had is a text, she's okay & hopes to see me soon. No idea where she is.

Steve - it is not like her to give in

Chad - dressed as a clown, Trick or Treat!

EJ - freaks out as he says he just saw a clown through the patio doors

Steph - yes, a favor, could you get the blackmail material that Paulina needs

Alex - help you get the goods? Pick a lock? B&E? Find a key?

Kayla to Joey - I can think of so many reasons it would be great if you were in Salem. And, didn't I hear you telling Tripp you were interested in this Wendy?

Joey - eavesdropping when you were supposed to be asleep!

Joey - with a gift box. Now this, this is a box of candy. Shakes it.

Kayla - shakes it, yeah, probably from Julie, let me see the card. Pales as she reads gift card. It's from Orpheus!

Alex  - you are telling me to go have sex with Sloan

Stephanie - nooo

Ava in clown suit, reveals herself to Tripp. He tells her he punched EJ! That's her boy!

Steve & Tripp in to Kayla & Joey, he reads card. Admits defeat, probably headed back to Statesville. Will always think of the 3 of them, the ladies.

Tripp - come to Seattle with me

EJ - Chad come back to DiMera & work for me & the family

Chad - I'm flattered but no.

Sloan answering her door where there's Alex in a cop suit

Sloan - dressing up, are we?

Alex - No, too many clothes

Sloan - strip search it is

Alex - no, don't talk business/ pulls out handcuffs & cuffs her to the bed. Blindfolds her.

Ava says okay but she has one thing to do

Chad I am not ready but can I get my shares back?

EJ yes you can but not Kate.

Alex is fishing in her purse & brings something out & leaves with it.

Clown in EJ's room

EJ shocked & then she speaks, it's Susan Banks! Mother!

Susan - You are in terrible danger!

Ava at the mausoleum saying bye to Jake & she hears something & turns around & says Tripp?

Charlie! Wrong son. The show is over.

Once again, we were reminded of what a perfect, amazing guy Tripp is and yet all these stupid, selfish hos broke his heart. I don't get I never will. I hope he somehow ends up staying in Salem. 

As for Ava's creepy revenge plot, I think it could be a lot better and less creepy. It's times like this that I wish that EJelle was still a thing. They could have still been secretly having an affair, that Ava finds out about, so she reveals it to Shawn, who then beats EJ's ass into a coma or something. I think it would work better than what might happen now. Plus, it could also have an effect on Johnny, who cuts Ava out of his life because of the way she hurt Belle.

    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
