Days: Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Henderson is tired of press calling the house to get a comment. Vivian doesn't like the "vile headlines about Hope." The headline reads 'Hope Brady Confesses to Serial Muggings' Yup. That's pretty vile and predatory Vivian. Ha! :)

Recap of Rafe overhearing news of the E.J. Sami engagement. Then shot of Sami and Will. He says that what he wants doesn't matter to her. Rafe is going to town on a punching bag. He's not happy either.

Victor is upset that Bo didn't tell him about Hope. Bo tells Victor that he can't take his anger right now and Victor apologizes. Bo's is feeling all guilty and responsible for what happened. Stop it now Bo! You are not at fault for this. Seriously.

Hope tells Abe that he's not her lawyer, he's her victim. He's telling her that she still needs a fair trial. Okay, I'm tired of this now. I want fun Avenger back, not whiny Hope.

Victor tells Bo that it's not his fault, that it's Carly's fault. Dude, Victor.... Maggie shows up. She better not make me smack her too.

Maggie's there to check on Ciara. Bo tell's her that Ciara is with Doug and Julie.

E.J. wants a word with Hope.

Sami says that she and Rafe are over. Will tells her that she still loves him.

Rafe is still beating up the poor defenseless bag.

Victor comforts an upset Maggie and Vivian sees them.

Bo steps in to tell E.J. not to threaten 'my wife'. Ggrrrrrr. >:(

Abe and Lexi have Ciara at the beach. They are contemplating Ciara needing their love. What's killing me here, is that they're talking about her like she's an orphan who has lost both of her parents. She hasn't. She has Bo, and Carly is an excellent mother. Another, 'Ggrrrrr.' >:(

Hope tells Bo that he shouldn't be handling any of the paperwork on her case. True, very true. Brady wants to talk to Hope, she says that it's okay, and Bo leaves.

Rafe runs into Sami on the pier and tells her that he hears congratulations are in order then continues to jog by and leaves.

Brady tells Hope that he understands. She says that they all blame the pills and he says that they gloss over why she needed the pills in the first place. He tells her to not listen to that voice that tells her she can't come back.

Sami follows Rafe into the PD lockeroom. She asks what he meant by congratulations. He tells her that he heard she's getting married and that if it's true then she's out of her mind and she's not the girl he fell in love with.

Maggie tells Victor to respect that Vivian is his wife. That he shouldn't set out to hurt her. He asks Maggie if he can respect Vivian just when he's around Maggie, can they be friends then? She says that she realized that they didn't stop being friends, they just didn't see each other. Aawww. They're confidantes again.

Vivian has called Gus. He's kind of cute. Too bad he's a minion.

Sami tells Rafe that she didn't want him to know yet. That she wanted to figure out a nice way to tell him herself. Rafe is trying to not pay too much attention to her. Sami wants him to acknowledge that he drove her to this. She says that E.J. accepts her and loves her and that she loves him. Rafe asks her if she really loves E.J. they go back and forth, 'yes' 'I don't think so' until he kisses her and she kisses him back. Not just simple sweet pecks either. We're talking big time almost making out kinds of smooches.

Days: Monday, August 2, 2010

E.J. asks Sami to marry him. They both have tears in their eyes. She says that she can't.

Faye is at work just finishing her break when Rafe comes in to "ask a few questions".

Nicole hires someone to follow and detain Dr Baker. Looks like pretty boy lackey is just out college.

Recap of Ciara telling Bo to whom the wallets belonged.

Avenger is talking to herself in a pocket mirror. She's determined to kill Bo this time.

Okay, the person who looks like 'Emma's Camp Counselor Shayna' is Detective Jocelyn McCarthy. She's going to play with Ciara and keep her occupied. So she's actually Detective Babysitter Jocelyn McCarthy. :D

Vivian walks into the living room and sees Avenger. She apologizes and turns to leave since Hope threw her out earlier. But Avenger says that she's not mad at her that she just wanted to talk to Carly alone. Wow, this is a whole lot of crazy in one room!

Sami explains to E.J. that she can't say yes when a part of her is still in love with Rafe.

Bo meets Justin at the pub. Justin says the it's like Hope is two different people. Ding, ding, ding, ding. At least he gave Adrienne credit.

Avenger and Vivian are talking about Carly and Lawrence. Avenger just told Vivian that if she doesn't want to end up like her then she will stop obsessing over her dead nephew and start paying attention to her alive husband. Dude, Avenger just threw Maggie under the bus!

Vivian shows up at Maggie's door. Surprised? You shouldn't be. :P

Brady and Nicole are kissing. Yawn. I'm tired of this little 'romance'.

Avenger is in Bo and Carly's house. Grrrrr. >:( She calls Bo to come and talk to her at the house about Ciara. Bo tells her that he's on his way. Please, please, please let one of them think to have Justin go along too.

Nooooope. Bo leaves Justin at the pub and heads home. Avenger calls Dr Baker and gets her snark in over him calling 911 before telling him that she's outta there soon. She tells him goodbye and hangs up.

Vivian wants Maggie to let her in and Maggie is all like, "Why would I do that?" Heehee.

Avenger is planning a hands-on approach this time as she hides a knife in the chair cushions right before Bo walks in.

Dr Baker has paid off his poker debt and plans to leave Salem. Aawwww, he's planning on following Avenger isn't he? :)

Bo wants to talk about Hope before they talk about Ciara. Avenger tells Bo that he caused everything that's wrong. M'kay...this is going to be interesting.

Maggie and Vivian. Heehee. Poor Maggie, it's like she's talking in English to deaf puppy dog that only understands semaphore.

Avenger is confusing Bo so very badly. Eventually she says, "It's time for us to say 'goodbye'."

Brady and Nicole slept together. Ewww. I don't want Ari to have him now. Good riddance.

Dr Baker's tail lost him before he ever found him. Ha! Dr Baker isn't planning on following Avenger, he's just leaving town also. He's writing her a letter.

Avenger pulls the knife out of the cushions and charges Bo like she's in a slasher movie and says, "Goodbye Bo Brady."

Days: Friday, July 23, 2010

Avenger is in Bo's room...alone....except for Bo..... :)

Nicole is lamenting her 'hovel' accommodations. She gets a call about a hot story from a person with a disguised voice. She needs to go to the pier to get the info. Rafe is the one on the phone. He's luring her there but he won't be there. I'm guessing he's going to look for stuff in her room.

At the hospital Carly says that she should call Hope. Roman tells her that she and Caroline can wait to get the news since Bo is fine right now. He says to let them sleep.

Avenger kisses Bo, "That my dear, was the kiss of death."

Maggie is having some personal thinking time when she gets a call from Victor. He's knows that it's late but he has some ideas he wants to show her. She tells him to come on over. "I'm looking for a good spreadsheet." Aawww. Maggie needs the distraction from her thoughts.

Rafe is at Nicole's hotel room. He's going to search. :) I hope that whatever he finds doesn't backfire.

Carly is struggling to maintain her composure. She's just so emotional because in her residency during her E.R. rotation she saw victims from a car accident. A gas tank had exploded at the accident site so the patients all had sever burns. She can't stop her mind from thinking about what would have happened to a gasoline doused Bo if Daniel hadn't found him in time. (Crystal is totally rocking this by the way.) She tells herself cry and Daniel pulls her into a hug. Abe turns to Roman, "So this is why you didn't want Hope down here?" Roman says that if Abe had any doubt about how much Carly does care about Bo there's the proof. Abe thinks that Hope has a right to know since Bo is her husband and her house almost burned down. Roman says that it's personal and he won't call Hope in the middle of the night to relay that info.

Avenger's new plan is to pump an air bubble into his I.V. tube. It won't be as slow and painful as she had planned, but it'll do.

Vivian comes downstairs and finds Victor leaving for a meeting. She's not happy and figures out that he's going to Maggie's.

Rafe finds a baby picture of Sydney. He loves her so much. He says that at least if he can't be a part of her life he can keep her away from those Dimeras.

Vivian presents Victor with a business plan for Mickey Horton's scholarship fund so that he doesn't have to work with Maggie anymore. I'm sure that's going to make him happy. Heehee.

Nicole realizes that she was setup and isn't actually meeting someone with a hot story lead. Heehee.

Rafe is still rummaging around the room. In a drawer he finds something that we don't see, but that he thinks might be something helpful.

Victor says that the plan is crap work and that she didn't even do it, that she hired it done. She says that she just wants to make him happy. Happier than "that red headed cow" and that does it. Victor is livid and leaves.

Ah, Rafe has found a small book/journal thing. He opens it to see if there is anything good inside.

Bo is waking up and see Avenger. She hears Carly outside the door and leaves. Bo is calling Hope's name when Carly comes in. She asks him if he wants her to call Hope. He says, "She was..." and starts convulsing. Carly calls for the crash cart.

Rafe comes across a code matrix. Hmm? He says, "What the hell does this mean?" I'm wondering the same thing.

Avenger is back at the mansion and kisses Ciara who is asleep on the couch. She says that she did it all for her. Um, yeah 'Honey I killed your daddy to make your life better.' doesn't really work if he's a good dad there Avenger.

Carly is watching Daniel try to save Bo. He thinks he knows what's wrong.

Vivian is lamenting to Gus. He suggests that Vivian get back to her roots and remind Victor of the person she is. Gus is suggesting mayhem. :)

Victor tells Maggie that he has a pretty good business plan but that he needs a little more input from her.

Rafe takes a picture of the code matrix and is gloating about his smart team being able to crack it when he hears a key in the door.

Maggie admits to Victor that she can't sleep, she's been a little down. She says that maybe they shouldn't be friends. Is Victor getting to her? She looks like she's putting up walls because she can't resist him. Heehee. :)

Nicole comes into the room and knows that someone has been there.

Bo is stable now. Carly says that she can't wait and needs to call Hope.

Avenger is telling a sleeping Ciara that she has to protect her. That Zach died because of him. Her phone rings. Avenger sees that it's Carly and doesn't answer. She thinks that Bo told Carly what happened and that they are coming for her.

Heehee. Nicole thinks that E.J. is the one who lured her to the pier. She's relived to find that her code book is still there. Heehee.

Rafe has sent the code to be cracked and is waiting on the results.

Victor is not pleased with Maggie's suggestion that they maybe not be friends. She says that from now on he needs to talk to her lawyer. He gets a call about Bo and heads to the hospital Maggie's going with him.

Abe and Roman are trying to figure out who might have done this. They rule out the DiMeras.

Avenger lays down for a last sleep.

Bo is waking up and struggling against his tube. Carly tries to keep him from pulling it out, but he gets it out anyway. She's got tears on her cheeks and says, "Stubborn man." She figures out that he's wanting to tell her who did this to him.

Days: Friday, July 9, 2010

It's a new day in Salem.

Carly called Chloe to see how she's feeling. Chloe is not happy and tells Carly to stop with the preaching.

Mel and Philip are at the hospital so she can pick up something. Philip is trying to get a hold of Chloe who is not answering his calls. He jumps when Stephanie comes up to him.

Chloe asks if Carly is going to tell Daniel. Carly says that she wants to continue the conversation in person. Chloe says that she can come over now. Kate comes up on the end of Carly's conversation and asks what Chloe has done now. Carly only says that Kate can add Chloe to the list of Vivian haters. Kate says that Vivian got it right for once and that Chloe deserves whatever torture Vivian has for her. She also says that Chloe doesn't deserve to have Carly in her corner. Carly says that age hasn't mellowed her at all. Kate says that is hasn't made Carly any wiser either. Carly says that Daniel wants to be with Chloe. Kate says that Daniel is an idiot and that she can't be the only one who thinks that Daniel deserves better.

At the pub Caroline is snippy with Maggie. Maggie asks Nathan to leave them alone and when he does Maggie asks what's wrong. Caroline says that she told Maggie to stay away from Victor so what is it that she's doing with him? Heehee.

Kate tells Carly that helping Chloe is a big mistake

Daniel comes home and brings Chloe his family's christening gown.

Mel and Philip run into Nathan and Stephanie on the beach.

Daniel is just heading out and opens the door to find Carly just getting ready to knock. She lets him know that she's there to see Chloe.

Caroline is upset that Victor called to request a quiet table and then Maggie walked in. She's not happy with the thought of them having a date. Victor walks in.

Daniel thanks Carly for making an effort with Chloe.

Chloe thinks that Carly is there to destroy her. They have a repeat discussion then Carly brings up finding out that Vivian was behind everything fueled by her hatred of Carly. Chloe says that yes everything was Vivian's fault. Carly points out that some of the choices were Chloe's. Then Carly sees the christening dress and asks Chloe about it.

Maggie says that Caroline and Victor have some things to work out and she leaves them at the pub.

Carly says that she thinks that Daniel will be happy if he can raise his child with Chloe and not have any regrets. Chloe thanks her and gives Carly a hug.

Philip and Mel are getting ready to go work out and he's looking in her gym bag and finds her 'big sister' t-shirt. Ooops. :)

Chloe misunderstood. Carly is only going to keep quiet until she gets a paternity test.

Mel walks in and Philip asks her about the shirt. She says that she's sure Daniel won't mind and tells him that Chloe is pregnant.

Days: Friday, June 18, 2010

Kayla! Maggie falls apart in Melissa's arms. This is so hard for her so soon after losing Mickey.

Dr Baker did not know that Brady was an addict.

Arianna tells Brady that if he slipped it's okay. That he doesn't have to protect her. Now he knows how she felt with the not believing.

Daniel tells Mel that the wedding is postponed.

Father Matt comes to see Chloe and is not happy that she lied to Daniel again. He says that he won't be party to her piling one sin on top of another. She's afraid he'll tell Daniel that she slept with Philip.

The guard puts Ari back in her cell before she and Brady can work it out.

Nicole says that if Dr Baker puts Brady in danger again then she'll want his head on a platter.

Melissa has an Alice flashback. Awwww.

Stephanie and Kayla talking. Steph tells Kayla that she and Nathan are serious and have worked through many obstacles.

Brady is ready to leave the hospital even against doctor's orders. He needs to get to Arianna.

Mel and Daniel talking about why the wedding was postponed.

Father Matt has to leave for Chicago and will be gone for 2 weeks. Very convenient for Chloe. Father Matt tells her that she doesn't have a choice in the matter that she must tell Daniel the truth. Soooo question. Why are some people all outraged that Carly has been telling Chloe to tell the truth, but nobody bats an eyelash when Father Matt does?

Oh! Melissa and Maggie are about to get into it I think. Melissa is glad that Nathan is with Stephanie and says that 'that other girl' Melanie was trouble. Maggie does not look happy about that.

Daniel tells an apprehensive Mel that Nathan is not at the Horton house and is she wants to go check on Maggie that now might be a good time.

Daniel brings Maggie news about her illness. This doesn't look good. :(

Nicole goes in to see Chloe. After Chloe tells her about the elevator falling Nicole says that she's been so caught up in her own world that she's not watched the news or even called into the station. Chloe says, if you didn't know what happened then why are you here? Nicole tells her that she found Brady with drugs and alcohol in his system. She says that she believes him when he says that it was done to him. Chloe says, why unless you know something? Then asks Nicole what she knows. Chloe can be very perceptive sometimes.

Daniel actually brought Maggie some good news. The new meds they tried have put her Myasthenia Gravis back in remission.

Maggie tells Melanie the good news. She says that she wishes she could stay and help out. Maggie says that she is here, and Mel points out that she can't stay though. She says that she's like poison to that house.

Ari thinks that Brady isn't admitting that he was drinking because he doesn't want to blame her. He points out that she doesn't believe him and that it's not a split second flicker like he had. He said that this feels like a real end.

Maggie thinks that Mel is uncomfortable at the Horton's because she thinks they perfect. Maggie says that they aren't perfect and that if the were they shouldn't judge her.

Chloe just told Nicole that she slept with someone because she thought Daniel and Carly were having an affair. Nicole has a plan to get around Carly's insistence that Chloe tell Daniel. Nicole tells Chloe that she needs to get married now. She says that she'll take care of Carly.

Mel is leaving the Horton house and sees Nathan. / Ari wants to call Brady and apologize but she's out of phone calls for the day. / Nicole goes to check on Brady and he thanks her for believing in him. / Daniel goes back to Chloe's room. She tells him that they can call the J.O.P. that he knows or have the hospital chaplain do it and they can get married now. He calls her on the abrupt change and says. She says she wasn't thinking clearly because of the pain meds. He tells her that she's got a head injury and isn't allowed pain meds. He wants to know what's going on and wants to know now.

Days: Thursday, June 17, 2010

Lexi calls Maggie to tell her that Brady's been admitted with drugs and alcohol in his system.

Nicole tells Brady that he fell off the wagon and she blames herself.

Stefano has a key to the safe deposit box that's under Madeline's name. Kate seems a little impressed.

Doug brings Julie soup that she's hardly touched. She breaks down. She's not ready for Alice to be gone.

E.J. tells Arianna that the judge is out sick so all of her cases have been pushed back. No arraignment today. Poor Arianna. :(

Nicole says that it's her fault for following him to Santa Domingo and they would have gotten married and then she wouldn't have taken her anger out on those men. Brady says that Arianna didn't do it, and that he didn't drink either. He says that he's knows it crazy but asks Nicole if she believes him.

Sami tells Will that she wants to stay at the mansion. Will sees through her.

Brady tells Nicole about the replica money clip and the poker guys and says that who ever has the money clip is probably the one who drugged him.

Maddie tells D.A.Woods that she thinks Chad wants to stay in Salem for one friend in particular. He thinks it's Mia. I think it's Gaby or Will. He and Chad are really close.

Mia runs into Gaby outside of the Pub and wants to talk to her. Gaby has better things to do.

Chad leaves the lunch but Maddie asks him to make sure he makes it for dinner because she has something special planned.

Kate says that she's going to change into her disguise at the office since there are too many prying eyes at the mansion. I'm guessing that Maddie is planning on going to get the tape to show Chad. I also am guessing that she runs into Kate-in-disguise there.

Oh, no. Maddie got Chad bonds that are in her safe deposit box.

Kate is at the bank. She looks very uncomfortable in that blond wig! :)

Victor blames Arianna for Brady being in the hospital. Maggie gives Victor a stern talking down and explains that he can't act like he normally would.

There is a lot of stuff in Maddie's safe deposit box!

Brady tells Maggie and Victor that he knows for certain that he didn't drink or use anything. Maggie figures that whoever did this, the real mugger, knew that Brady had a substance abuse problem and had no problems using it against him.

The real Maddie is at the bank. Kate tosses every thing into her giant bag and sneaks out. The new on shift bank worker tells Maddie that she's already signed in. Maddie is stunned.

Lexi calls E.J. so he can tell Ari about Brady before Nicole does. Lexi said his blood alcohol level was through the roof. How is that? Did he absorb all of the scotch that Dr Baker poured over his body? Because he only got one small sip into Brady.

Nicole confronts Dr Baker about drugging Brady. He says that he had to because Brady was asking questions.

Maddie finds the safe deposit box empty. She is not happy.

Kate and Stefano find the tape, but forget to put everything back in the bag.

Arianna calls Brady. He says, "Believe me I did not use." she seems to doubt him asking how it happened and how he let it happen.

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?"

Days: Thursday, June 3, 2010

Mel is trying to get info out of Philip regarding Chloe. She's not comfortable with her keeping things from Daniel and them getting married anyway.

Daniel says that's it's none of Carly's business and asks her what difference it makes. She's really quiet all of a sudden. She really doesn't want to be the one to tell him. She was really hoping Chloe would step up. Carly looks like it's making her ill to be the one in this position. Carly needs hugs!

Avenger sees Ciara and the wallets through the window and wonders what she can do to stop Bo from seeing them. Um, you can ring the doorbell then tell him that you've forgotten something. That will distract him.

Victor tells Maggie that he's throwing around all this money to get back in her good graces. She says, "You can't get back someplace you never were." He says, that she doesn't want to like him. Heehee.

Oh, see! Dr Baker set off a car alarm and it distracted Bo. Avenger is still on the porch looking in the window and says "now all I need is a miracle" Um.... or you could ring the doorbell! Ciara would open it for you I'm pretty sure.

Chloe doesn't seem to want to kill Carly. Vivian has to work on her some more.

Carly needs to walk away. Daniel won't listen to her or let her talk. He says that there is nothing she can say that will stop him from marrying Chloe. Dude, you have NO idea. Ha.

Okay, Caroline calls Ciara in to help with the cookies. Ciara leaves the wallets un attended on the sofa. Avenger looks skyward says, "I owe you" and goes into the house to snatch the wallets.

Philip talks his way out of Mel's questions.

Hahaha Victor and Maggie!!!
Victor: "You know you surprise me Maggie. I wouldn't think you'd have such an old fashioned view of marriage. It's 2010 just because she and I are husband and wife doesn't mean that Vivian and I are joined at the hip."
Maggie: "You got married this afternoon. You have yet to celebrate a day anniversary."
Victor: "I know, and it seems like we've been married for such a long long time."
Maggie: "Okay. I'm going to nip this in the bud."
Victor: "Nip what?"
Maggie: "I didn't think that you should marry her, but you did anyway. So I'm gonna respect your vows even if you don't. I don't want you dropping by here for tea and sympathy complaining about the old ball and chain."
Victor: "Were you this bossy with Mickey?"
Maggie: "I didn't have to be. He wasn't an idiot like you Victor. Go home. As they say, it's time to face the music." She thinks of something that makes her giggle and she covers her mouth. Very cute.
Victor: "What?"
Maggie: "I just had this mental picture of Vivian on her wedding night. Perched on the edge of the bed in her new peignoir. A ribbon at her throat..."
Victor: "I hate you."
Maggie: "scared, but oddly excited! A flower waiting to be plucked." Aw Maggie, did you have to go there? But it is funny.
Victor: "I really really hate you."
Maggie: (smiling) "By Victor. Send me a card from Niagara Falls."
Victor: "I'm glad you think this is funny, because it sure as hell isn't." and he closes the door as he leaves. They both really enjoyed that little exchange.

Okay, Avenger now has possession of the wallets again. Now Bo has found Ciara's backpack to be empty. Poor poor kid now he'll doubt her too. She has my permission to go all 'The Bad Seed'

Yay! The sale on 'The Cheatin' Heart' fell through and Adrian can't sell. Woohoo! That means she'll be around more. I hope. :D

Daniel and Carly decided that they are friends and Carly doesn't tell him.

Ciara is upset because her treasures are gone. Caroline gives her her grandmother's rosary as a consolation gift.

Avenger is dizzy she asks Dr Baker what he's still doing there as it's not the safest place to be. He says that she's still there so he's not going anywhere. Awww how chivalrous. :)

Holy cow!!!!! Chloe just told Daniel that she slept with Philip. I did NOT see that coming. Maybe she's daydreaming it? Because he's being awfully harsh and less sad and hurt than I would expect. He also just said 'Carly was right you not just a whack job..." Carly would never call her that. Yep! Daymare. :)

Vivian is ready for her honeymoon. She's all packed. Victor suggests separate vacations and rooms.

Ciara asks Bo if he knows what happened to her secret treasures. He doesn't and neither does she. Aw, so sad.

Chloe can't make the leap and help/plan to have Carly killed. Just then Carly calls Chloe ...

Dr Baker tells Avenger that he will always be on her side.

Carly says that she knows that Chloe didn't tell Daniel and that she knows that Chloe is scared. Chloe is freaked out and says that she was right and that Carly just wants to come between her and Daniel. Carly says, "That's crazy." and Chloe screams, "Don't say that!" and throws the phone.

Oooo. Victor just called Vivian on her honeymoon desire. He said, "If anything happens to Carly. Anything. It won't matter if you aren't here. You won't have to wait for 'till death do us part."

Bo calls Carly and can tell she's worried. She blows it off as worry for a patient and he tells her to call him later. While Bo is upstairs Ciara looks out the window and see Avenger and Dr Baker. He's standing behind her comforting her. This does not look good. :)

Days: Tuesday, June 1, 2010

Gaby shows up at the DiMera Mansion to ask Sami if she knows where Rafe is.

Nicole asks Dr Baker where the wallets are that he and his partner stole.

Cut to Hope and Bo opening the treasure box and finding it empty.

Daniel tells Carly that he and Chloe are getting married the day after tomorrow. She's evasive. He wants to know what's up.

Auntie Viv is going to help Chloe get Carly out of her life. Hmmm? Bad mojo.

Victor and Maggie are sweet. He's helping her not be so sad and she's being very comforted by it.

Daniel asks Carly if she has a problem ith him marrying Chloe and she says, "Yes. Yes I do and you deserve to know why." ...commercial ...

Gaby asks Sami to talk to Roman to help Arianna. Sami doesn't feel the need to do that and says that she's sure her dad's doing what he can.

E.J. leaves Brady and Arianna alone to "catch up". I refuse to like E.J.! I will resist with every fiber of my being. Arianna send Brady away again.

Dr Baker says his partner has the wallets and Nicole tells him to have her get rid of them. And to tell her that there should be no more attacks. He resists and she tells him that he will tell her who his partner is. Cut to Hope and Bo. She's convinced Ciara is lying even though Bo points out that there is in fact a box even if it is sans treasure at the moment. Oh by the way, Ciara has the wallets in her backpack.

Chloe dismisses Vivian's help and walks out. Vivian can tell that she's scare to death of Carly and you can hear the plot hatching in her crazy little mind. :)

E.J. got Arianna an arraignment for later today. She needs clothes and Brady says that he'll get them, she would rather it be Gaby but Brady is adamant and heads out. Arianna wants to know her chances and they start trying to figure out where the evidence came from. Their goal is to get her out for good tonight and not just on bail.

Chloe is sulking when she runs into Nicole.

Daniel tells Carly that for the first time since he lost Rebecca he doesn't hurt anymore. She still plans on telling him but there is a commercial break.

Chloe won't tell Nicole what she did only that Daniel will never forgive her. Nicole's advice is to get married now because Daniel won't back out after they're married.

Carly is trying to tell Daniel but he's not going to listen and decides to answer his page instead. Grrrrr. >:-(

E.J. gives Arianna the list of each time and place for the assaults. He wants her to provide an alibi for at least one of them.

Carly shows up at Chloe's apartment. She tells her that Daniel talked to Father Matt (I like Father Walton better. :P ) and that she's running out of time to tell Daniel, that she has to do it tonight.

Carly is trying to convince Chloe to tell Daniel and that Daniel will forgive her and that she truly hopes she does. Chloe isn't planning on telling Daniel anytime soon.

Hey! Hope takes a pill. Someone is going to get knocked out. :)

Maggie mentions that this is the second wedding she's been to since Mickey died. Aawww!. She wonders if she'll remember the sound of his voice. Victor says no one will forget Mickey. He starts talking about Isabella. I miss Izzy B! ::sniff:: Victor gets a call from Vivian and is perturbed.

Brady runs into Nicole on his way to get clothes for Arianna. She stops him and wants to talk. Step out of the way Nicole! He's only got a couple of hours to get her clothes back to her.

Arianna notices that the day Justin was attacked was the day after she and Brady got back from Santo Domingo and that she was giving Nicole the check to get out of town at the time.
E.J. finds this odd that Nicole could have come to her rescue at any time and didn't. Now he's trying to figure out why she hasn't. E.J. leaves to check facts and Arianna thanks him for her first moment of hope since she was arrested.

Sami leaves a message about Arianna for Rafe.

Chloe wants to get married tonight. Daniel says that he knows she wants Father Matt so they can wait until tomorrow. He goes to tell Melanie in person.

Carly brushes off Bo's question about her errand and says that she's more concerned about Ciara. Aawww she's such a good mommy! :) Bo says that they have time to bond with Ciara while Hope gets much needed rest.

Sami goes to the station to check on Arianna who says, "With any luck I can get out of here tonight."

E.J. shows up at The Cheatin' Heart to get some info from Nicole. Hehehehehe.

Victor tells Maggie that talking to her is the most fun he's had all day. Cut to Vivian in the courtyard with the wedding chairs and she's crying.

Chloe wants to stop Carly but not do something awful like Vivian wants.

Bo leaves Ciara and Carly in the room alone while he goes to make a call. Carly is going to read Ciara a story and reaches for her backpack to see what she brought. Ciara says, "Leave them alone they're my secrets."

Arianna tells Sami that E.J. is the one representing her. E.J. tells Nicole that he knows what she did to Arianna but what he doesn't know is why. Hehehe. I hope that he answer doesn't make him reconsider his helping Arianna.

Days: Monday, May 10, 2010

Nicole told Dr Baker that she's got everything under control in her plan to frame Arianna.

Hope and Abe talking about the muggings. Heehee.

Mel and Nathan talking. He thinks that he knows what she's going to say. Hmm? I bet not.

Calliope and Anna. Hehehe. With the way Anna is swaying drunk and Calliope is bouncing the camera around I swear Rafe is going to get motion sickness. Anna thinks that Calliope followed her to SpaIsland. :)

Sami is working the knots out of E.J.'s shoulder. She's hurting him. Hehe. I love that shade of yellow that Sami is wearing! They need to stop looking at each other like that. Oh, Will walks in on them almost kissing. :D

Victor is trying to help Maggie and to get her to tell the family that her illness is back.

Anna said Calliope has been digging like a ferret. She wants to know who put her up to it. "Roman? Carrie? You're gonna sell my story to the tabloids!" Uh, nope. Guess again. :)

Will is NOT happy about what he walked in on.

Arianna tells Brady that he's not planning on going home, that he's planning on finding the person who mugged him. He says she's right, and for Ari not to fight him. She said, "I won't fight you, I'll join you."

Hope shows Abe a picture of the tri-spiral on Brady's chest. Hehehe. This is fun.

Calliope is trying to convince Anna that she's never sell her out to the tabloids. She's suspicious that she's been talking the whole time and Calliope hasn't said anything. Anna, "When did you start working for the cops?" Calliope looks like

Maggie calls Hope to let her know that Ciara can't stay with her (cause Maggie's at the hospital) Abe says that he'd let Ciara stay with them if Theo didn't have chicken pox. Hope doesn't want the nanny sleeping over because Ciara has been acting odd lately. Um, Hope, surprise, but she's been left unattended at night for the past few weeks! :)

Mel tells Nathan that she thinks that he and Steph are going a little too fast. She's trying to protect him from a daddy trap without actually telling him about it.

Anna tells Calliope that she can leave if she wants and she will unless Calliope starts talking.

Arianna reasons that if she's with Brady then he'll be safe since the mugger only goes after guys when they're alone.

Nicole is "Dee Wilson from Chicago" in order to get into the poser game. (Which by the way, is housed in the same little room that Vivian had Gus take Carly to and where Hope got knocked out.

Calliope tells Anna that she's a mess and that fate brought her to the SpaIsland. She tells Anna that Eugene ran off with a belly dancer, and that she's so happy that she ran into Anna.

Stefano wants to know what's wrong with E.J. he says, 'Nothing' Stefano takes that to mean Sami.

Will asked Sami if she has feelings for E.J. she says, "Yeah, maybe I do." Dude we all could have told you that! lol

Steph thinks Mel told Nathan about the birth control pills which she didn't. Now Nathan says he doesn't need Mel's advice.

Ari and Brady are arguing again. Ari says, "When I saw her (Nicole) her blouse was unbuttoned, what was I supposed to think?" Brady says, "When? When are you going to start believing me and not her?" They keep going around in circles, but at least they're talking.

Nicole cleaned the table in poker and one of the guys paid her with the money clip that he got from Dr Baker. Brady's money clip.

Rafe looks bored watching Calliope and Anna. :)

Sami just told Will that E.J. is not a guy he should hate. "Will gratitude is not the same thing as love. I am not in love with him..... God! I am not lying!" Will: "Yes you are, because every time you get bent out of shape like that you're not telling the truth. You. Are. Lying." Seriously, he's being disrespectful, but Sami really needs to hear this. Really hear it.

Hope reads Ciara a bedtime story and then takes her meds. I don't think the sleeping pills are helping her sleep. :D

Nicole asks Charlie (poker guy) where he got the money clip. Nicole pulls out a camcorder and tells Charlie that the clip is stolen property which makes him an accessory after the fact. He freaks.

Mel is upset about Maggie and Maggie is grateful that Victor was there to help her. Mel is not happy, she's very worried. She's going to be relying on Carly more I bet.

Sami says that when you love someone and they call you a liar it hurts. Will says when you love someone and they lie to you whenever they please that hurts too.

Sami is all teary and tells Will that she's there for Will not because she misses Rafe or is in love with E.J.

Nathan says that he's crazy about Stephanie. Me, not so much. :-/

Mel wants Maggie to let her drive her home. She's checking Maggie's chart. :) She's so sweet, and is so much like her mother! :) Maggie asks her if she wants to talk about what's making her sad. Mel climbs up on Maggie's bed to tell her that she could have told Nathan something that would have made him break up with Stephanie right then and didn't. Maggie says that she's proud of her for taking the high road and asks if she can do it again with Victor, cut him a wee little break, give him a chance.

Anna tells Calliope that the Anna DiMera that she knew is gone for good now that Tony died. Anna says, "I didn't kidnap little Sydney all on my lonesome." Calliope tries to get a name from her, but Anna passes out before she can name names. Rafe is frustrated. :)

Brady says that it's very late and he's not going mugger hunting tonight. He wants to concentrate on Ari. Ari says that she's thinking the same thing. They kiss. :)

Mel thanks Victor for helping Maggie. She says that she's okay with it if he wants to go in and sit with Maggie. :) Aawaww, and he goes into Maggie's room and thanks her for talking to Mel.

E.J. tells Sami that Rafe isn't coming back. She says that she knows that but that it doesn't mean that there is anything between the two of them.

Charlie leads Dr Baker back to the Hideout where Nicole is waiting. Hehehehehehe.

Days: Thursday, March 11, 2010

It's a new day in Salem. Daniel is checking on Melanie, so I'm guessing that Nathan never made it into her room.

Sami is playing with Sydney and looks tired. I think she's missing Rafe.
Whoa! Good call. :D

Pretty cop is back. And they're narrowing in on the cell records.

Nicole is all evil in prison? What's going on. I suspect all is not what it seems.

Arianna and Brady! Sorry, soooooo cute!

Okay, Nicole is ..... ummm...... yeah. Still waiting to find out what's going on.

Aw, Daniel is so sweet.

I knew that Brady would go to Chloe. He's going to ask her to tell Nicole what's happening isn't he?

"Minute to Win it" commercial... Yeah, that's the kind of quality programming I want to see on my TV. Let's do away with more scripted comedies and dramas to make room for more insipid games shows and reality TV. (Rant over, it's safe to come out now.) :)

I knew Daniel would figure it out! He can help Maggie.

Heehee. Melanie shrieked at Arianna for turning down Brady's proposal.

Yep Rafe. Very personal.
Really!?! Anna had to toss 'the boot' out of her soft side suitcase to make room for other things. There are obvious plot points and then there are just annoying patronizing ones.

Okay, so maybe Daniel hasn't figured it out, but at least he knows that something is wrong.

Heehee, "I'm warning you, he is cranky this morning." ... "No I'm not." ... "Yeah you are." That was fun!

Um, does making sure that 'nothing' is left behind include the picture of Tony on the desk? 'Cause it's still there.

Okay, Daniel does indeed have it figured out!

Rafe is on to something. Don't let Arianna talk you out of it dude.

Sometimes Sydney looks wise beyond her year (and a half). :D

I like that Melanie and Daniel are trying to forge this newly defined definition of their relationship. I can't believe she's worried about dropping out of her nursing training. Carly already told her she could come back.

I think I just saw Nicole snap by the look in her eyes.

Anna needs to just stop giving E.J. ideas.

Purina commercial with cats! The cats are doing everything that their humans are doing. I love the last one, 'Waking up early' and the little kitty's reply, 'whatever'

Aw, Maggie and Melanie. ::sniff:: so sweet.

Ha! Brady's going to ask again. Hehe.

Nicole doesn't remember? Yeah right. I just can't grasp where this part of the story is going. I'm just along for the ride. :D

Days: Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Okay, I have lots of catching up to do. These next few should be short.
Arianna said, "No." Hmmm?
Maggie, poor Maggie.
Hehehehe. I love Melanie calling out Stephanie on not delivering the letter.
Creepy things, Rafe. Creepy things are going on. E.J. said he wants to spend the night with Sami. Make him go away!
Yeah E.J. sure. :-/ Don't let him do it Sami!
Aw, Brady is cute when he's flustered. Arianna is sweet when she's confused and caught-off guard.
Okay, as much as I hate the idea of E.J. being in the same zip code as Sami, I do very much appreciate her talking to Rafe and having a mature conversation.
I admit that Stephanie is right in what she's saying to Melanie, but I still don't trust her.
Rafe is grilling E.J. on record. Awesome!
Hm, Stephanie just threatened Melanie. Interesting. This could play in the future. Maybe Mama Carly needs to come to her defense. :) What? It would be good fun! :)
Yeah, why is that E.J.? Why do you think that the kidnappers won't go after another family? Hmmm?
Sydney is wearing polka-dotted footy jammies!!!! :) (Yes, I have a baby obsession. I have since I was 2 years old.)
I don't think I'm down with Lexi pushing E.J. toward Sami. Nope. I do not think so at all.
Arianna's explanation for saying, "No" rocks! And yes, Brady, yes you should make future offers.
With Melanie in a hospital bed and Stephanie sitting in a chair, this is the calmest cat-fight I think I've ever seen. :)
Ha! The lighting in the wide shot of Sami's apartment is a lot darker than the close-ups.
Nathan is SO going to walk in on Stephanie and Melanie having their little discussion.!
Oh, no! It's Nathan on the phone isn't it?
The cop that's helping Rafe is really pretty and looks very familiar. I wonder where I've seen her before.
Oh, Will sweetie. I don't think Mia understands the word 'exclusive'.
Sorry, major props to Suzanne Rogers for the fainting and crawling on the floor and other physical stuff they're having her do. You are one awesome lady!
Nope, it was Philip. Okay. But Nathan's on his way right? :)
Aw, Sami fell asleep with Sydney on her shoulder. Aaawwwww!

Days: Monday, March 1, 2010

They should really just give Carly what ever information she's asking for. It will be much easier in the long run.
Have I mentioned how annoying that these ransom notes and the whole 'kidnapping' plot in general are getting. Oh, Rafe you and Sami are going to fall right into E.J.s twisted little plot. Okay, E.J. just took a swig from his flask. Is he really drinking or is he just pretending to make it look like he's having a hard time with Sydney's 'kidnapping'?
Awesome! Sami's reply of, "The hell you will." to E.J. saying to let him take control was total win.
Oh, Maggie and Carly are having a battle of the mothers. They are both being protective and they both love Melanie so much. I think Maggie's actually a little bit jealous too though. Does Maggie not know that Melanie would have been killed as a child if Carly hadn't let her go? I'm liking this scene. Suzanne and Crystal seem to play amazingly well off of each other. I want more of these little gems! :)
Aw, Daniel is smitten with his new found little girl. Sweet. I'm still very worried about how Chloe is going to feel. I mean she wants so very badly to have children with Daniel. Especially after the recent hysterical pregnancy scare when she's feeling so fragile and unworthy, knowing that Carly has given him a child will crush Chloe. But if she is resentful, then we'll get some really good scenes of it. :)
Sami's on the right track wanting to tell Rafe about the new 'ransom note.' I just hope that E.J. doesn't talk her out of it.
Carly is going to let Melanie's paternity slip if she's not careful. I wonder what's wrong with Maggie. I really hope that she's not drinking again.
I think Daniel wants to tell Melanie that he's her father. I wonder when he'll do it.
Rafe has E.J. pegged. I can't believe Arianna is so blind to E.J. I mean come on, Troy yelling, "She's a Narc!" and Arianna just let E.J. brush it aside. And Rafe needs to be extra strong since he's getting the, 'Oh, no E.J. is just in mourning, he's not a bad guy.' from every angle. He must feel very alone with all of that doubt and calls of paranoia being tossed at him.
Aw, Melanie is being the cute little 'baby girl' with Daniel too. She's so sweet and vulnerable when she lets her walls down and talks about wanting a family.
E.J. must die.... That is all.
Okay, seriously cute scene. Even if Daniel isn't going to tell Melanie yet, it's a very cute scene. I kind of expect him to have a storybook and read her to sleep. :)
Carly and Daniel are not doing okay. I really hope that Bo steps up to be there for her, because she's going to need the comfort.
I'm not sure what's going on with Arianna. But that little tear when Mel talks about being shot on your wedding day by your mother has me intrigued.
Wow, we need more scenes with Arianna and Mel. They are great friends and I really like Lindsey here. She's good anywhere, but she really knocked this scene out.
I can't stand E.J. talking for Sami in response to Rafe's questions. It's condescending and comes off as a little chauvinistic.
Really, what's wrong with Maggie? Okay. I'm guessing her Myasthenia Gravis symptoms are showing up again. Is that what they're hinting at? (Sidenote: Wow! I think Crystal needs a hug. I can't imagine the emotions and memories this must bring up.)
Daniel, buddy. Um, Lawrence probably wouldn't have been a match for you, you would have been a bug he squashed without a second thought. I'm with Carly on this one. Carly needs a hug. A big one and someone to please tell her that she made the right decision, the only one that she could, all those years ago.
Could someone please push E.J. into the river? Please!?! :)

Days: Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Okay, seriously Hope and Justin are really getting on my nerves with the Carly bashing. They are acting like children. Seriously I think I've seen that scene at the Brady Pub played out in just about every 'teen' movie. I'm kind of expecting them to replace her coffee creamer with Milk of Magnesia.
Victor and Vivian are just fun to watch. He get so annoyed with her and she's completely loopy.
Dudes, E.J. is so not doting on Sydney like he used to. It's pretty clear that she has more value to him as a pawn to make Sami crazy than as his little girl.
I like that Maggie calls Mel on her attitude. Really though, there is no way that she's getting coffee stains out of the dress by rubbing the damp towel on it that way. Nope, not unless the dress is vinyl. :) Mel's bright pink shirt and plaid vest remind me so very much of similar outfit I had in the 80s!
I honestly don't get why people seem to go to E.J. when they're looking for a compassionate person. He's way too controlling to really be soothing.
Delivery man could have left of the, "so it could be rented to somebody else" part of that sentence.
Seriously? Love Victor and Vivian banter. They are so completely serious in their discussions of offing people and ruining lives.
Justin.... >:( "At least she had the decency to leave." Can I smack you? Please, can I? I'm not kidding, somebody really needs to send Justin like a box of sea urchins. It'll kind of be like Carly getting to 'take back' that she helped him when they first met. He deserves it right now.
If I were Sami I'd be a lot more irritated at E.J. being so calm.
Uh, I only saw the guy leave one box before he left. Hmm? Maybe he came back after his thoughtless little comment about the office space being rented.
Ha, the sound effects are off. The phone only rang once and they looked at it and Hope kept talking, then Hope was 'interrupted' by it and asked Justin if he was going to get it. Then it rang a second time. Heehee. I do not like the way Hope bolted out of there after Carly. Nope I do not like it indeed.
Okay, Crystal has a great scream! :) Aw, Vivian is going so crazy that she's getting headaches.
Carly is waaaaay to nice to everyone considering the way they treat her.
Yep, E.J.'s prints are on the ransom notes. Of course they are. He is so very frustrating.
Hehehehehe Lawrence! I very much did not like him the first time around, but now I know that he can't really manipulate Carly like he used to , so I'm much more okay with him now, and enjoy very much seeing Michael on screen.
No, Carly, don't turn back. Keep walking away. You don't owe Hope anything, just walk away.
Oh my goodness!!!!! Yes! I've been waiting for them to bring up how Carly took care of Shawn Douglas, and how she held a lot of respect for Hope's memory. Too bad the person she's talking too is too conceited to really hear what she's saying, and too judgmental to really see what she's done for the people Hope cares about.
I like Kristian and Crystal in scenes together. I just really wish that Hope had more substantial material. If she hadn't been so distrusting of and rude toward Carly right off, then sleeping with Bo would be a believable excuse, but it's like that didn't even change anything because she was already at code orange animosity level to begin with.
Gaaahhh! Hope was so on the right track. She held out the olive branch and thanked Carly for being there for Shawn D, but then she had to go and get in a little jab. I really did used to like Hope.
I really want to smack E.J. so very much.
See. I love that one line from Carly, "Second, Hope is the least of my worries." Like she's the little annoying dog yapping at Carly's ankles. She's annoying, but Carly has bigger things to worry about. Hope is just trying to pick a fight and Carly just come back at her with truths and doesn't even fight back with her whole heart. Hope is just so not worth it to her.
Heehee. I love Lawrence pleading with Vivian to get rid of Mel and not kill Carly. I can just see him as a kid pouting and convincing her to buy him a horse or a model plane or a car. :) Louise and Michael are great together.
Uh oh. You knew that Maggie's struggle with alcoholism was going to come into the story. It's very fitting and realistic that she was have to fight herself with the loss of Mickey.
Okay, here the sound editing is great. When the camera is on E.J. or Anna you can make out almost all of Sami and Rafe's argument, and it actually makes sense, it's not just random screaming of generic lines.
Major props to Suzanne Rogers and the way she handles these scenes. You can see the internal battle Maggie's having but it's not over the top, you can feel her wavering back and forth.
Oh, Bo. Don't lead Carly on. Yes you care about her, but I'm still thinking she's going to end up broken hearted.

Days: January 19, 2010

'Days of Our Lives'
Watching Tuesday's show now. Carly still needs hugs.
Kate referring to Mel as 'Smurfette' was one of the funniest things.
Lawrence is bad creepy, but Michael does it soooooo well.
Bo was smart in handling Vivian by trying to throw her off of the baby trail, but I'm worried that his hero complex is going to get boring for him eventually and Carly is going to get hurt. He's in love with rescuing her, but when that's over I don't know. I always thought that Bo and Hope were meant to be, but when Carly came to town and she helped Bo heal I wanted to believe that Carly was the love of his life. It would be nice if it turns out that way, but I'm still convinced Bo's going to hurt Carly.
Maggie has Kate pegged! Awesomeness! Way to go Maggie! :) I just love the way she called her out!
Oh, the look on Carly's face when Melanie told her about how she grew up was absolutely devastated. Carly needs more hugs. Very well played as always Ms Chappell. :)
