Ok so. I liked most of today. It played a lot better than the noon tweets. I loved John basically telling Brady to shut up. I don't think Orpheus had any idea Brady was his son. But like the name Brady should have sparked something in Orpheus.

Victor being there was actually fine. Maggie really didn't need to be there. At all.

I loved the exchange between J&M and Orpheus about their lives and his life and even the Stefano reference. Nice Stockholm shout out too. They were clearly saying today John killed the wife though.

Brady. I keep saying it but the time has come. I give up. Victor can have him. Why didn't he even try to call J&M? Like he talks like he likes them ok. But he can't be bothered with them.

I was glad Nicole called Abe and I was glad Abe was involved today. Can we swap roman for him in this from now on?

I still have my quibbles - but for the sake of my sanity - I'm trying not to over-analyze and keep track of all the missteps. I will say that the last two weeks has been SO much better than what we have been seeing that I'm actually enjoying the show for the first time in a LONG time.

I love GdH's voice - it is scrumptious. I love that Orpheus has an unemotional no fucks to give psycho vibe. I continue to love PT's ability to play the vulnerable emotions of wanting to belong with the downright crazy. So far this villain thing is working for me. I would really love it if they all manage to escape alive when it ends so they can come back for more torture later.

While Nicole is remembering Xander strangling her I need her to remember that it was Eric that rescued her and to relive the Furnace of Love memories.
I know, but 2 Eric mentions.

Does it surprise you that I got excited about that? Because it shouldn't. And they were both with Nicole in reference to the FOL. I know...I'm grasping...it's a sickness though.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Me too. I like Paul but don't like him to be John's son. Don't have a history and I'm not feeling father and son relationship between them.
I don't even understand why they felt the need to do that. It's unnecessary. All it makes me think of is in 2000 when John was only focused on his "son" and Marlena was like "well there's just so many of them" lmao. Like, we have to add another kid into the mix? Does he use protection?
Yea wasn't that whole fiasco torture enough? Ugh!

Let's remember that John found out about Paul after Paul was an adult. They both love baseball.
Inasmuch as Paul's mom was Asian, it is not odd that they don't "resemble" each other. Heck, Chad does not resemble Stefano, or any of his brothers, Abby & JJ look nothing alike nor resemble their parents, same goes for Lucas, Philip, Kate.......Bo, Kim, Roman, Kayla and Caroline/Shawn. These are unrelated actors.......why should they look like anyone but themselves?

The writing for Paul, for John & Marlena, and others as well, has been abysmal under Griffith, & have to say the improvement last week and this is VAST. My biggest complaint is Brady's over done devotion to Victor. Yes, I know he lived with victor for some time, because John & Marlena were out of the country. But he was raised from infant to his adulthood by John & Marlena.
I am glad Ryan Quan is such a long time viewer of the show, and seems to want to get family/friendship back in focus. The new writers are off to a good start, in my opinion.
LOL of course they're actors who aren't related.

IMO how is the new writing any better now when it comes to Brady? I'm not feeling it at all.

FYI, I think I complained here about a scene being super short. I wasn't being dramatic. Literally all that aired here after the break from the gunshot was John asking if Victor and Maggie were okay. Apparently the scene was indeed a little bit longer lol. I missed Paul hitting Orpheus, Orpheus running out, and John telling him to go after him.

This episode was pretty good. I didn't like Maggie crying through the whole thing but it's what she does. Lol. I laughed when Nicole was talking to Abe about what was happening at the house and he asked if she called 911. He was at the station. Wouldn't a direct call work too? Also I love Paul and I thought to myself that he was acting a lot like John just before Marlena said he is his father's son.

Only DAYS writers can take a potentially exciting episode and story line and make it completely lame and stupid. The whole scene with Orpheus and Eve in the Kiriakis living living room was a downer. Was there any doubt that no one would be killed? The lines and acting were awful, especially Marlena's comments when Orpheus first entered with Eve. "Oh my, oh my..." Really? Ugh.

Victor and Orpheus were working together to find the fake treasury bonds/engraving plates during the Stockholm storyline.

I actually did have doubts about Eve. Didn't know if she'd be killed cuz I know someone said she was back only short term. The rest I knew were probably safe.
