So are we to believe we were fed false memories from Clyde murdering Abigail? Why would he take the fall for one of his men?

That's why I'm saying we need to hear when Clyde found out that Abigail wasn't dead.  And what it even means that she's not dead (e.g., is she incapacitated?, is she being held captive?, etc..)

Half of the show was someone holding a gun on Clyde.

Great writing, Ron.

And, they only had the one gun!!!

It was anticlimactic!

It's dumb, but I guess the loophole is that Clyde is the one who recounted the story of killing Abigail, right? (Maybe I'm mixing my stupid stories up, though.) So the flashbacks we saw could be what he WANTED people to think so that his drug ring wouldn't be exposed. 

It's still very stupid, but I think they have a little wiggle room to play with. 

I guess that’s what we’re supposed to assume now. It just feels weird. Almost like it’s being written by a different writer

Those Chad/Johnny scenes of them talking about a Dimera curse was such a missed opportunity

I was confused, though. What does Jude's name have to do with Nicole?

I think Eric said that St. Jude was the patron Saint of suffering

Stefan should've stayed dead and Jake should've never existed. Brandon Barash is not needed in Salem. 

Just as in 1996 when critics said GL's Spaulding family are all the same character, this is how it is with EJ, "Kristen," and Stefan. Cut at least one of them loose. 

(Sorry Stacy, you'll never replace Eileen)

Out of those three, Stefan really is the weak link. It’s like he tries to be a tough guy, but deep down, he’s really just a bumbling sad sack

Oh, my, how nice to be thought of in such a way as this! Thnks for the reply, though, I mean I heard him say that but I didn't tumble to it. D'oh.

It’s happened before.

Ron did a similar rewrite to bring Will back to life when he first came on as headwriter

That one was so stupid. He was literally brutally murdered on camera for us to see. And even worse became his murderers best friend 🙄.

No. St. Jude is the patron saint of seemingly-impossible miracles happening.
(I don't know what Eric said today, but that's who St. Jude is.)
That's why St. Jude's Children's Hospital has that name.  In hopes of cures of diseases.

I studied this because my close family member was unable to have children, and then miraculously she got pregnant.  She gave her son the middle name Jude specifically for this reason.   

Sometimes called the Patron saint of the impossible, for hope when all seems hopeless. etc.

Yep

We now had to believe that Susan and Dr. Rolf were lurking around and waiting, even though Ben immediately took Will’s body and dumped it as his apartment. 

But at least that storyline was told with obvious good intentions lol and it brought Will back so I didn’t mind it.

The Maggie/Julie scenes were nice… until Konstantin showed up. Dude really does drain the life out of every scene that he’s in. Hopefully, the spoilers about him are true. 

And whoever was asking about the Horton house set, I think it’s the exact same set, not a new, smaller one. The black paint and curtains on the French doors are a little ugly lol but everything else looks nice. 

Kristen was a bit of an idiot today but I guess her dumping Alex is in character for her. The woman’s only loved two men in her entire life and as much I’d love for her to finally get over Brady, I like that she’s not being changed for the sake of storyline. I do like how messy this whole storyline is getting though and I’m looking forward to tomorrow when Alex probably finds Brady and Theresa.

And, I also liked the Chad/Lucas scenes even though Lucas being skeptical about Abigail possibly being alive was stupid, considering he went through the same thing with Will. 

Today's show was a snooze fest and lots of fast forwarding. 

The Maggie and Julie scenes were the best part of today's show.

Is there a purpose in keeping Alex?

RSW has not improved as an actor and isn't even eye candy anymore.

 

Do you think Ron or any of the writers know what's in the Horton time capsule?  Julie has been talking about that thing for months and there has been literally no movement in that storyline thread at all.  They.........still can't get it opened lol.

Theresa/Brady came a little out of nowhere for me.  

Ava/Harris having a rift was weird too.  I know Steve/Harris are leaving, but Ava's has done about 20 worse things in the time they have been dating that Harris has easily forgiven her for.

Yes, Julie & Maggie, good, always is. Kristen surprised me. With Clyde's allegation I find I have to know more. I wonder now that he's been apprehended if John & Steve are about to be in trouble. Mostly I muttered throughout the whole show. I am so sick of Konstantin. Whatever. Carry on, I guess. 

BTW, I asked AI what St. Jude is the patron saint of. I was thinking that it's of lost causes. Here:

St. Jude, also known as Thaddeus, is the patron saint of lost causes and impossible situations. He was one of Jesus’ original twelve Apostles and is believed to have written the Letter of Jude in the Bible. His popularity among Catholics likely stems from his association with helping those in desperate need. According to tradition, St. Jude miraculously healed the ruler Abgar V of Edessa, which led to his patronage of lost causes¹². If you find yourself facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, St. Jude is often invoked for intercession and hope³. 🙏

Today felt like when you come back from vacation, and someone was using your office for a meeting.  You have to tidy up, get rid of unwanted stuff, and get your head straight before you can move forward.

One tends to think RonC didn't want Kristen and Alex together (it doesn't fit the vibe, because his romantic partners are always obsessed with each other), he's got to craft an exit for Harris, and he needs to backtrack to his original idea for Theresa.

It reminds me of when the Dobson's returned to Santa Barbara in the early 90s and admitted that they hadn't watched any episodes while they were gone.  I mean, he even forgot why they named the baby Jude.
