Doesn't Brady legitimately have full custody?  He went to court and everything.  Can't he put a restraining order out on Kristen?  Can't Marlena?  lol

He can but he doesn't want to upset the spoiled brat he had with Kristen.

I just can't take the massive bad scene chewing by Stacy Haiduk.  She is one bad actress. I hated her on YR too.

Change of heart I guess for lovebirds Stefan and Gabi. I'll never forget how Stefan proposed to Gabi and how he said that he should've never asked Gabi to stay married to Li for over something silly like Dimera shares. Cue in Stacey who gets out of Statesville. Instant jackpot potential. 

I enjoyed the magical Dimera family cocktail hour.  It had all my favorite soap elements (1) people assuming inheritance rights despite not being in the will (2) a bar cart filled with chilled champagne and the perfect number of flutes (3) adult illegitimate children suddenly changing their last name and (4) former prisoners and returnees from the dead with complete wardrobes and no luggage.

When EJ complained about Megan being dead for 30 years, I wanted her to remark that every Dimera in the room had been presumed dead at some point, it's a family tradition!

BTW I just clocked Kristen's ankle tattoo, that's a choice...

I get CS has limited availability, but he literally only interacts with John and on rare occasions Andrew.

Does he have any other projects going on?

Ugghhh I hate that kid 😂😂

Maybe CS saw how Days treated Freddie, Chandler & even Zach 's Sonny and thought why would I want to return full time

Honestly, I have no idea.  I just assumed he was limited or not into doing anything close to full time and that's why we see him so infrequently.  It really wouldn't be that bad if he moved around the canvas more.

I actually love Rachel - she's such a spoiled brat that I'm looking forward to her teenage years. 

This was earlier today.

I like the idea of Rachel being a brat.

However, I think it is a missed opportunity to not only use Rachel as a source of conflict for her father's relationships, but to tell a story about how to socialize a child.  There is a rich history of brats in Salem, from Sami and John's relationship, the rocky start of Marlena and Brady's relationship, and Hope and Julie's relationship.  It would be a unique story in daytime, that is relatable to much of the audience, to only use a child as an object, but give them a story arc.

In anticipation of the responses, I disagree that the creativity, talent, or sexuality of the writing staff negates the possibility of exploring issues related to child-rearing.

I haven't watched it yet. I will later tonight. I did catch the first minute of it and I love his gayness😂 and how nice he is.

What's up with Peter's hair? Yikes!

I actually like this idea and think it would be a good story.  I think they would have to age and recast Rachel a bit though.  The little girl that plays Rachel is fine now, but she couldn't carry any heavy material.

Agreed on both counts 😊😂

And on the bright side, they did say that 

Spoiler

We're gonna be seeing Paul and Andrew again. And it was also implied that Dimitri's love interest is not Gwen or Leo

I'm glad it's neither one. I've seen some online saying they wouldn't mind an Andrew and Dimitri pairing.

I definitely wouldn't mind a Paul/Andrew/Dimitri triangle 😂

I think it would be pretty interesting to explore Dimitri, a villain and a European aristocrat who's supposed to marry a woman and produce an heir, turning out to be gay. It would be a good family dynamic.
