IMO, Roman's involvement in this storyline should be Orpheus putting a bullet in his head for killing his wife.

It'd be justice for Roman covering for Rafe & Hope, too. Fauxman didn't need to return in '97 - they should have left him as WN's version and dead off-screen permanently.

No fanfare, just see him, shoot him & step over the corpse on his way to wreak havoc on the rest of Salem - especially John & Marlena and Steve & Kayla.
LOL, I love it!

Hey, it's already been more accurate to history than I was expecting. Roman recognized him today.

The interview, I don't get. Sure read to me like DeHoyo was saying John killed Rebecca. That was what fueled my conjecture. IMO, much better this way.
Roman did it.

I don't see Orpheus as much insane or psychotic as obsessed. Obsessed with a need to avenge his wifs death. A need to impart the same sort of pain as he felt. He was very meathodical and focused. In control of his emotions.
No temper tantrums or flying rages.

That was old Orpheus. Let's see what this Orpheus plays out.
Legit psychopaths rarely have temper tantrums or flying rages. It's part of the whole no emotion thing.

Is it possible Xander will rape Theresa because he went to prison for her crying rape?
Please no... watching JL spill a glass of water on herself is painful enough.

We don't need another rape so soon after Ciaria's and JL would not be much better at playing it than VJ was.

Well, as maybe the only one here who wants Roman directly involved in this story, who thinks it's a joke for him not to be when Orpheus is there, WTF?

What happened to the other day? Now we are back to what I thought it would be. Just act like John killed his wife. I'm nack to betting ranches again. This one says no Roman Orpheus scenes. That may make almost everyone else here happy. Not this viewer. And I think it really, in great part, to not wanting to deal with the fact that John was Roman.
Should have absolutely been something Orpheus brought up, but they don't want ot deal with it so they gloss over it.

I'm always curious how these individual shows are budgeted. Like Roman is not on today's show. At least with Abe at the station. Like when Wil died and Roman isn't on all these shows with Sami. Made zero sense. Maybe having to do with actor contracts and guaranteed appearances, stuff like that. because the character should be there.
It's like, how is he not there?

No, Orpheus, Victor isn't the same. He has undergone a dramatic personality transplant from the guy you knew 30 years ago. He was not rude. He was charming, polite, but deadly. He was not cantankerous and acerbic.

I think the show knows Josh Taylor isn't popular in the role, so he gets whatever airtime qualifies him to keep his health insurance.

I've often read that he and Corday are golf buddies. Maybe that's it. Kind of makes me wonder how he let him stay away for 10 years. Although I guess he did some prime time stuff. He had that role in 90210 before he came back.

I sometimes wonder how representative message boards really are to reality. LOL, if they are, it's remarkable he's lasted this long. Me? My third favorite Roman Brady, but they tell me he's him so I accept it.

They make the Canon, I don't. If it had been up to me John would have stayed Roman. And I loved Wayne Northrop's Roman. He made the character my favorite from his first run. I just thought too much had happened to retcon it with any sense. They disagreed like with Tony and Andre.

I get it. If you can't stand the guy playing that role then that might trump being true to the history. My dislike for JT is not that strong. But I don't feel the same way about any of these characters. Nothing like I used to. A lot of what I viewed as distasteful storylines chipped away at my affection for my favorites.

JT is also one of Corday's children's godfather, so it's a pretty strong friendship, plus they did an interview back in 97 when JT came on as Roman and it sounded like the idea was something they both worked on together.

I don't have anything really against JT, but my distaste for his Roman is multi-layered. It goes back to how he was introduced, to the actual characterization of Roman, as well as JT's poor acting.

IMO they should have kept Roman dead.

JT was also on a sitcom and Y&R during those years he was off Days.

Josh and Ken both joined the show back in 1977, so I guess they've each been friends the longest out of all the people they both know at Days.

The sitcom was Valerie. That is when he left Days.

I remember several 97 interviews as well. JT thought of Roman and Chris as both being blue collar types. Corday thought it had been 10 years since Chris had been on.

It's not unprecedented for actors to play multiple roles on the same soap. Another World did it a bunch of times. Thing is, Chris wasn't on a year or two.
He was on a decade. That is a longstanding actor that you are bringing on as another character.

I would think this has to be the only example of an actor playing 2 different parts on a soap of over a decade each.
Twins aside, I mean. I'm not counting something like Adam and Stuart Chandler.

We all like and dislike characters for a variety of reasons. While I don't outright dislike him, I don't care about John Black. Never have since the retcon. To me, John Black is a name on a plaque in a homeless shelter. Thus, I don't have much interest in spending this story seeing Orpheus go after the guy who didn't kill his wife.

He's getting much more airtime this year than the years before.

He gets airtime but it's not like he's driving any kind of story. I mean the commissioner stuff is probably enough. Unlike Maggie who got story.

This talk about JT's airtime gave me a PTSD flashback to Bo's visions story with Hope and Roman in bed together. I very nearly went blind.

That was either contrived nonsense (Summer) or she didn't belong in (Orpheus). Roman & Maggie are both obsolete characters who need to go.

truth is they are not clear on the Roman angle! Roman was ISA with Orpheus and killed Orpheus wife at some point. Question is when did John assume Roman's identity. In Stockholm it was clearly John thinking he was Roman (brainwashed). Somehow its both of them. Orpheus is very well informed. He knows there were 2 Romans or one of which is John who he now calls Agent Black

But there is no ambiguity about when he became Roman. We saw it onscreen. IMO, this isn't about what orpheus as an ISA agent knew. It's about the show not wanting to get into the complicated John was Roman for years continuity. So, they sort of gloss over it.

Most of these older characters fade into the background more. Roman, Marlena, John. Hell, Maggie was more of a background character for much of the 90s.

As I said, I'm guessing some of this has to do with budget, how many appearances actors are guaranteed in contracts etc. Still, say you only can use Josh taylor x amount of days. It often makes no sense to me how they use them.

Last year, when I was watching every day. i remember seeing Roman on maybe a good 4 days in a row. It was basically all related to the investigation of the murders Ben was committing at the time. This happened a couple times.
Mayve he was on 10 shows over 3 weeks. Say 10 out of 15. I'm thinking, they are using him a lot.

Then a couple weeks later Wil is killed and we see don't see Roman for days. All these people are consoling Sami and her father isn't there. That's when you make sure you use him. You could substitute someone else for the cop stuff. You can't, or I think shouldn't, with the Sami stuff. If you can only use the actor a certain amount of days, pick the right days.

Again, they are all more supporting than in the past. John was searching for his past again last year. There were weeks he was on 1 day. If it was 15, 20 years ago, he'd be on 4 days a week with that story.

While I'm not condoning it, I think the Sami John instead of Sami Roman was partially Ali driven. She talked about wanting to focus on that relationship and how they didn't get a goodbye when she left the year before.

Plus as it turned out they transferred the Sami story to belle so that was probably part of the reason too.

I wasn't suggesting John be out and Roman in. I think they all should have been there. John is going to be there just as Marlena's husband. But it stood out like a sore thumb that her father wasn't there.

Happens all the time. Wouldn't Caroline be at her granddaughter's wedding? Yet she was nowhere to be found.

I agree they all should have been there. But John is not just Marlena's husband when it comes to Sami. He raised her. Roman did not. That doesn't take away from Roman being her father but it shouldn't be negated that John raised her because there isn't a biological tie.
