Days: Friday, June 25, 2010

Shane says that he was too busy saving the world and lost his family. Rafe says that he's going to fix things now.

Kayla tells Bo that he should have never given up. She says, "Carly's great. She always have been. But right now she is nothing more than a distraction for you." At least we got a bit of Carly support. I don't enjoy every one seeming to be against her. Bo says, "I love that distraction."

Jen and Bill show up to tell Mike that Alice has died.

Hope shows up at Bo's She doesn't even act excited to see Kayla or Kim. Hope asks if it's a bad time, if Carly is around. Bo says that she's at the hospital. Hope needed to see Bo before she said goodbye to Alice.

Rafe says it's not easy with Sami. She never listens. Shane says, "Lies a lot too as I remember." Heehee. Shane points out to Rafe that how Sami acts isn't his problem, that his problem is that he can't stop thinking about her.

I'm distracted by Carrie's outfit. It's black lace over green and the green is a different shade than her green necklace. It doesn't look like a very Carrie outfit. Maybe I just don't remember Carrie at all. :)

Justin and Adrian run into each other on the dock. Adrian asks him how Hope is doing. He doesn't know.

Hope wants Bo to say a few words at the funeral. She tells him that she's not okay and she doesn't think that she can make it through the day without all of her family. She means you Bo. Run and call Carly. Do it now!

Poor Mike! He's all sad and crying because he didn't get to say goodbye. Lexi isn't going to let Mike out of the hospital for the funeral today. What?!? So wrong, so very very wrong.

Kayla runs into Adrian and Justin. Big hugs all around. Kayla and Adrian talk about Stephanie. It's really great to see Mary Beth Evans and Judi Evans in the same scene again. :)

Bo didn't get the pointed look. He tells Hope that she's not alone today, that her family is around her and that includes him. Dude, she's not going to let it go at you just being there.

Adrian is trying to tell Kayla that Stephanie is more attached to Nathan than might be healthy, but doesn't actually spill the beans.

Mike is understandably upset. He's loud and angry and make Jen cry. He immediately apologizes and pulls her into a hug.

Shane is amused by Rafe's ramblings about Sami and E.J. Shane has no fond feelings toward the Dimera family.

Justin walks up to check on Hope. Caroline sees it and says, "She should be in your arms Bo. Your arms." No she shouldn't. Lay off Caroline. You're being way too judgmental and meddlesome lately.

Kate has called Sami because Giovanni is running a fever and she didn't want to do anything without talking to Sami first. Seriously! LOVING Kate!

This is a sweet service. They are going around the circle by picking up off of someone else's words. It's like they're just sitting around the living room recalling memories to each other. It's that kind of casual feel, except that they're all standing around a coffin instead.

Kate asks Sami how Giovanni is doing. Sami says that he's doing well. Then Kate asks about the service. Sami says it was beautiful. Kate asks about Lucas. Sami says that he looked good.

Flashback of Mike talking to Alice about Carrie and Austin. She suggested he become Chief of Staff to distract him from Carrie.

Kim sees Shane across the clearing for a split second at the funeral. Hope says that Alice was the woman that she hoped that she herself could be. She's crying and Ciara looks worried. Absolutely beautiful montage of Alice, some shots with Tom and some from the flashbacks we've just seen. Last line of the montage is Alice talking to the picture of Tom, "Goodbye my darling. 'Til we meet again." Hope says 'Goodbye Gran' and they pan to Ciara and she's been crying and has one tear rolling down her cheek.

Sami answers the door at the mansion and finds Rafe. :)

Each person proceeds past the coffin and lays a yellow rose on top. Bo and Ciara are the last two. Shane walks up to Kim and says, "Hey." Kim says, "Oh no. Oh no Shane you do not just sneak up on someone and say, 'Hey' " She storms off and tells Bo that she's see him at home. That leaves Bo and Hope alone.....

The end credits start with a picture and title card "In loving memory of Frances Reid"

That was an incredibly touching and very well put together tribute to Alice Horton and to Frances Reid. She will be missed.

Days: Friday, June 11, 2010

Hope is shocked by the divorce papers.

Brady is doing what he can to try and help get Arianna out of jail. Victor says he's there to help. Huh? This is new. :)

Mel is visiting Arianna. E.J. is 'reminding Nicole of his presence'. He has things to say to Nicole. I'm guessing they probably aren't 'You go girl!'. :D

Mel tells Arianna that she's going to make tons of money off a wrongful arrest suit. Arianna tells her that there was evidence. Mel says that she's got an alibi, that they were at the movies ::whispers:: 'I just need to know the date.' Aawww. Arianna tells her not to lie.

E.J. is needling Nicole. It should be fun, but I'm bored with it already.

Maggie tells Bo to be gentle with Hope and put her first. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put Carly first.

I'm really not okay with Jennifer being all rooting for Hope. She's Carly's friend too.

Victor tells Brady that he'll always have family behind him and that he doesn't have to face things alone. Brady asks if he's going to help clear Arianna. Victor says he's going to help him face facts.

Arianna tells Mel that she was the one who ended it with Brady. Mel is confused and Arianna explains why she broke it off.

Hope asks Jen not to tell anyone about the divorce and that they should concentrate on Alice.

Victor is talking about love and says that there are times when he thinks about what Isabella would do or what she would want him to do. Aawwwww.

Dr Baker is at the poker room. He's got his cash buy in. I think he's going down. There is no way he can win an honest game.

Nicole tells E.J. that he loves the real her and thinks that he might still and tells him that he was never as happy as when it was her, him and Sydney.

Arianna is working things out in her head. She's catching on to Nicole. Mel is right with her.

Oh, the Horton house. So sad. ::sniff:: Hope is having a flashback of Alice talking to her about Bo, and Bo comes into the living room. He tells her he didn't mean for her to find out about the papers that way.

Maggie, Maureen and Jennifer have an Alice flashback of Maureen talking to Alice about coping with the miscarriage.

Mel says that the next part, the hard part of the plan (after taking out Nicole) is convincing Arianna that Brady is in love with her.

Maggie, Maureen and Jen have a casserole to take over to Alice's house.

Ooo. Bo sees Hope's pills. She says that they help her sleep but she doesn't need them anymore. He says that if there's anything he can do to let him know.

Poker Guy recognizes Brady's money clip. Brady asks where he's seen it before and he says he doesn't remember. Ha. Dr Baker is where he's seen it before.

E.J. tells Arianna that he's going to remember who the man was at his attack and then he'll be able to link the attacks to Nicole.

Days: Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Julie walks into Maggie's all sad. There hasn't been a change with Alice, Maggie says, "Poor Alice." Just as Hope walks in. "What's wrong with Gran?"

Maddie!!!!! She just bought out Cheatin' Heart for the night for Chad to have a party. She asks who's coming and Will pops up. Of course he's coming. :) Maddie doesn't look to thrilled about that.

Bo is on the phone with Carly. He says that the building inspector check out that elevator a few weeks ago. She says that Chloe saved her life and almost lost her own. She sees Mel come in and let's Bo go.
Mel says, "Are you going to tell me what you didn't tell me last night? Why you were fighting."
Carly: "We were arguing about your father."
Mel: "What did you say to her?"

Cut to Daniel and Chloe. She's still out, he's still holding her hand (his hand has been cleaned of blood by the way). She halfway opens her eyes and says that she ruined everything. I'm not really worried that she's going to spill the secret, but I could be wrong she could tell everything.

Mel: "Did you tell Chloe that I was upset about her and Daniel getting married?"
Carly: "I'm pretty sure she knows that."
Mel: "Then what was the argument about? Come on, you're keeping something from me and I don't like it." Philip walks in and hears that (from a distance) and he gets that pondering squint. He's wondering if Carly knows, what he thinks she knows. :)
Daniel needs to shut up for once and let Chloe talk.

Abe and Theo stop by to pick Ciara up for school. Bo finds her homework "underneath the divorce papers". Bo reminds him that Hope was the one that pushed for it.

Maggie and Julie are telling Hope about Alice. Maggie is falling apart and Hope is in shock. So very very sad for all of the DoOL cast and crew.

Chad tells Maddie that he doesn't care that Will lives in Stefano's house and gets up and walks away. She looks oddly proud and angry at his disobedience at the same time.

Stefano is ranting to Kate about Maddie. "She has two names, what her husband's isn't good enough?" Kate: "have you met him?" ::laughing:: Stefano tells Kate that Maddie threatened to release the tap unless he does what she wants. He says, "You don't threaten me and get away with it." Kate looks like she might suggest that he do just that and no risk the tape being released. Really! What is on this tape? I'm still holding out for some Kate and Maddie relationship history they've just got that vibe when they talk about or around each other.

Maggie and Alice flashback. Aawwww.

Ciara tells Theo that the man that she saw her mommy hugging wasn't her dad and he took the treasures from her backpack and she doesn't have them anymore. She tells Theo that she can't tell her dad because he doesn't believe her. Bo walks in on that part.

Daniel asks Chloe to tell him what happened with the elevator.

Carly tells Mel that the accident changed her perspective any problems Chloe and Daniel are having should stay with them and she walks off. Philip snaps at Mel who then follows after Carly.

Kate says that if the tape is released then the person that's going to be hurt is Maddie. Kate wants to find out what's making Maddie so unhappy and why she's willing to take that big of a risk.

Ti tells Will that Chad's mom is hot. Will thinks there is something about Maddie that no one know, not even Chad. Of course Chad hears that.

Maggie calls Nathan to tell him that Alice isn't doing well and that Julie thinks she's given up. Maggie is hoping that Alice will respond to Nathan and get better.

Ciara tells Bo that she was telling Theo that her treasures got stolen . Bo sends the kids out and he and Abe try to figure out what the secret treasure talk is. Abe tells Bo that Lexi thinks that Hope is regretting asking for the divorce.

Will brings up the picture of Maddie and Kate. Chad and Will seem very sad when Chad says, "If they were old friends, it's over now."

Kate is trying to talk Stefano out of stealing the tape from Maddie.

Hope has to run and tell Bo that Alice isn't doing well. Julie says, "Why are she and Bo apart? Why is that? She's obviously in love with him." Well Julie let me answer that for you. Bo has Carly back now, and Lawrence isn't around to mess with her head and keep them apart. Carly is a more attentive and nurturing parent and is one of the strongest 'damsels in distress' that Bo has ever encountered. So even if Hope sincerely wanted to be with Bo and wasn't secretly and subconsciously plotting very bad things for him to make him pay, then she could still not compete with the awesomeness that is Carly. Carry on with your mope fest now. :)

Philip asks Carly if there is something that he needs to know since Mel is not okay with Daniel and Chloe getting married. She says, that Mel needs to back off so no there isn't anything that he needs to know.

Julie is talking about Alice being more of a mother to her than a grandmother. Awesome flashback to a very young Susan Seaforth Hayes and Frances Reid. Wow!

Carly sends Daniel out of the room so she can talk to Chloe. She's not going to tell Daniel but she's going to keep telling Chloe to tell Daniel.

Nathan shows up at Maggie's he says that he sat by Alice's bed and held her hand and she opened her eyes once and said, "Oh Tom, you're here." Maggie is not okay with that. :( It's very sad to bring up McDonald Carey too. Everyone needs ::HUGS:: today.

Bo is haviing an Alice flashback about him and getting together with Hope. Hope walks in upset and goes straight for his arms and falls apart.

Maddie leaves the party to go back to work. Jessica is looking radiant today! I don't know if it's the sweater or what, but it's something.

Stefano plans to have Kate go into the bank pretend to be Maddie and say that she lost the key to her safe deposit box so that they can get the tape.

Chloe just told Philip that his mother-in-law knows about the cheating.

Hope finally gets out that Alice is dying and Bo is clearly upset.

Carly walks in to find Bo hugging and consoling Hope.

Chloe tells Philip that Carly doesn't know it was him. He tells her that she has got to keep it quiet. Daniel walks in and says, "Keep what quiet?"
