I can't predict if the actress will be in flashbacks (to solve the shooting), or present day (if she didn't really die), because in present day she'd be 40 years older than her photo.  Again, why Konstantin waited 40 years to avenge his daughter is unknown, but the guy sure holds a grudge.

Also, although we're back to square one with Stefan, EJ, and The Dimera CEO position, you can't really argue that nothing is happening. 

  1. Kristen is going to try to find Li's killer.  And it looks like nobody forgot about Gabi.
  2. Holly and Tate are on track for young romance. 
  3. The Pawn retread is showing progress.
  4. Marlena's going to have a fifth client now that Wendy is suffering from panic attacks. 
  5. They've set up Eric to work at The Spectator, and it looks like Nicole will follow, after her wistful memories of being a reporter. 

Nobody's treading water in Salem, any more than usual.  Except Tripp, Wendy, Chanel, and Johnny.  But, I would argue that it is nice to have some romantic B story.  If conflict arises, it looks like it will be from their respective families, and they'll deal with it together.  Which I prefer over conflicts about babies or romantic rivals. 

My quibble of the week was Paulina shading EJ's press conference.  She's responsible for making the former head of a megalomaniacal company into the lead law enforcement officer for her city.  So, if she's got a problem with him, then she has the power to solve it (radioactive or not).

That's very clever!

Although, wasn't it portrayed as a coincidence that Konstantin ran into John in Salem? Because at first he was saying how John sounded familiar, and then he recognized his eyes, until finally he put it together that John was the pawn. 

Either way, I agree once he figured out who was John turned out to be, he should've dropped flaky Theresa and gone after the prime meat.  John already felt guilty, and he'll do whatever he says under hypnosis.  So, just take a short trip over to Salem Saving and Loan, get a cashier's check and hightail it back to Athens to open a beach club with Lindsay Lohan.

I am no expert on blackmail, but it would seem like the most direct way to go about this would be to extort the actual person that committed the murder.  Not a dead man's family lol.  It's a very intricate plot depending on multiple factors to work when John probably just would have given him the money lol.

I think you are right about John and Konstantin meeting by accident.  But at this point I feel like Konstantin should have done the research on this.  John isn't exactly a non-public figure.  If you are going full in on elaborate plot where you have to find Theresa Donavon to execute your goals I am going to assume you are capable of googling John Black.  I mean seriously did he just carry that weird taro card around for 40 years hoping he meet Catharina's killer?

Today was kinda boring, but I liked the scenes with Chad/Stephanie/Everett/Thomas. I’m glad that they seem to remembering that there was tension between Chad/Everett over Stephanie. Them becoming such good friends all of a sudden never made much sense to me. Stephanie making plans to go see Chad and the kids could cause trouble in the future. They’re building it up again and I hope we’re not let down. 

John/Marlena babysitting Jude was really nice too. 

Btw, shut up, Rafe

Way better off, but I guess revenge on everybody is supposed to be more important to him or something

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him when FV clearly took a shine to him. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field with both with very different people. Then maybe put them back together, who knows.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
