It might have only been in the other thread, but there was some talk of them dubbing out Orpheus saying "Roman" in the flashback. They didn't. He says Roman right before the flashback picked up. I think there was actually a commercial between him saying Roman and where the flashback started.

Nah, it just made no sense at all.
imo , made no sense in the fact that she knew he was there since she was just with him but it i think they were trying to mimic what they were just discussing... with the men being overly protective. Marlena just told Kayla that John hasn't stopped following her around since all of the orpheus stuff happened. So it was more of an 'oh john is here' surprise... comment, imo. But it also made no sense for her to say that about John following her around, which I also posted about: - Quote:
-
John's been following Marlena all around since the incident? Like where has she been wanting to go? She's still clutching her purse and wearing the dress she wore at the wedding, and John's just getting out of the hospital. Is she missing going shopping by herself or something? Stupid script writing.

Orpheus suggests they team up and make it a nightmare for residents of Salem IMO this is not in character for Orpheus. He was a loner, not the type to need or want help from anyone.

Upbringing. He wasn't raised in the mansion or by Victor regardless of where he's lived the last few years as an adult.
Yes but everyone seems to want him to move back in with his mum and dad. The mansion has been his home for a long time now. He's had a reasonably long time to develop a relationship with Victor and Maggie. I want him to have more scenes with his mother and father but I don't need him living with them at all. Why does he have to live with anyone? He's a grown ass adult who can afford to hire security.

Why does he have to live with anyone? He's a grown ass adult who can afford to hire security. But where would he get better security than staying with the man who up until 2 weeks ago's greatest ambition was to punish Victor by hurting his family.....

The best part of today's show was when John says it is his fault cuz he left Orpheus for dead when he wasn't, because all he could think about was getting to that plane that was taking Marlena away from him. And he says he failed at that too. He says he and Marlena lost so many years.
That was GOOOOOOOD, and I need lots more of that!

I don't need him living with anyone. I liked him living on his own like an actual adult. However, if he's going to live with someone, yeah...I'd prefer it be his parents who are kind to him and his fiance rather than Victor who is not. It doesn't make sense to move into the mansion anyway if their fear is Xander being able to get into the townhouse. Orpheus got into the mansion. He has developed a relationship with Victor and Maggie. I don't think the relationship they've come up with is a reasonable one at all. Regardless, his relationship with Victor is way worse than his relationships with John and Marlena. Yet for some reason, he keeps crawling back for more verbal abuse. I agree with you on your second point, not on your first. Wherever they live, Xander will be a threat, but at least there's higher security at the mansion. Yes, Orpheus got in, but no one knew he was back, so security was not as tight as it will be now that they know he's there. In fact, I doubt there was even security there are all before.

As long as Daniel never comes back..I don't care who else returns. But since he's one of Dena's pets..I bet he will be resurrected. How could he be a pet if she killed him off? :shrug:

imo , made no sense in the fact that she knew he was there since she was just with him but it i think they were trying to mimic what they were just discussing... with the men being overly protective. Marlena just told Kayla that John hasn't stopped following her around since all of the orpheus stuff happened. So it was more of an 'oh john is here' surprise... comment, imo.
But it also made no sense for her to say that about John following her around, which I also posted about: - Quote:

She's still clutching her purse and wearing the dress she wore at the wedding, and John's just getting out of the hospital. Is she missing going shopping by herself or something? Stupid script writing.
She was trying to get Kayla to not be mad at Steve.

Great show today. Higley and Quan are starting out strong. I hope it lasts.
One good thing about the villains coming after the citizens of Salem, people are starting to lock their doors behind them. :blulaugh: People cannot come barging in anymore in homes that are not theirs.

Chad gets in a kerfluffle with Clyde AND. HIS. HAIR. DOES. NOT. MOVE. Billy Flynn, ladies & gentlemen!!
I don't like Deimos. I don't like Nicole. I don't like Brady. I don't like Theresa. All I got from their scenes was that I wanted some fries. As far as Deimos offering to protect his "family"...I can't seem to find a damn to give - BRADY. IS. NOT. A. KIRIAKIS. DAMMIT. but I'm to the point where he's such a useless POS, they can have him. John & Marlena deserve better.
I loved the interactions with John & Marlena and Steve & Kayla, and the interactions of John & Steve and Marlena & Kayla...it was a good set of scenes & a nice flow to the storyline(s).
Good show today!!
BRADY is A KIRIAKIS His birth mother was A Kiriakis therefore he is a Kiriakis, He's also a Black ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70cubHsppc8

Sigh, I miss John as Roman...
I don't mind Vic being close to Brady. Back in the 90s, Vic changed because of Isabella and to be a better person for Brady. It was clear that he wanted the best for his grandson, so I've always expected Vic to want to keep Brady close, embrace the Kiriakis heritage, etc.
But I hated that it's been like John, Marlena, Belle (who he was once very close to), Sami, and Eric don't matter much to him, and that Maggie is being treated more like his mom. For a while, it seemed like the show wanted Maggie to be everyone's mom. I'm hoping that will change and become much more balanced. I'd like everyone on the show to be more family oriented like they used to be. The Brady's, Hortons, Johnson's, Kiriakis', etc. The show seems a lot better to me right now.

His last name continues to not be Kiriakis and he continues to not have been raised by Victor and Maggie. People have made multiple other points about this particular issue and all you seem to respond to is that. We know his biological mother is Isabella. That has not been denied or called into question.
Why is victor's house so safe? Orpheus got in. Deimos poisoned Maggie there.

Can't, can't, can't stand the Nicole/Deimos story. The only benefit of lumping them with Brady/Theresa is that FFding gets me through two bad stories faster. And I'm feeling particularly mean this morning. They put Nic in that pink dress and flats! Arrgh, the real Nicole would never give up her heels for a man! Her current flame must really be self-conscious.

Me too! I really like the Orpheus return, but it does remind me of how stupid it was to retcon that that story and make him John Black. He was successful as Roman and they did so many good stories with him as Roman.

On the other hand, I loved John/Marlena and Steve/Kayla sharing scenes, as they didn't even know each other under the previous regime.

You aren't the only one who did not hear it. I like that Deimos wants to keep the family together and safe. Victor & Maggie are already there, he makes sure Theresa & Brady w/Tate are also there. Nicole won't come, but she has 24 hr. round the clock security following her around. And am sure the idea was that all this family would be in one place, easier for the bad guys to target. (After all, Days IS on a restricted budget! :hmmph:
I think Victor is going to ask Sonny to move in as well. Hey between moving everyone under the sun into the mansion all the villains will have to do is blow up one house and they got the entire town as planned!

I'm actually watching the show consistently, meaning I don't ff'd it for the most part. Rope is my only exception to that rule..so far.
Friday was a good episode, especially with the flashbacks. I think that is the best thing about Orpheus return is that they can do those flashbacks and really play into the show's history (which is why I think this story would have been better last year). I liked the scene with Nicole/Theresa/Brady. I didn't like Deimos coming in because quite honestly that quad should have been Brady/Theresa/Eric/Nicole and then I would have eaten it up on a spoon like it was the most amazing piece of dark chocolate ever created. I loved that Nicole got a call from Xander and that he scared the hell out of her. That is how it should be. But I also love that despite how freaked out she has to be she didn't run to Deimos for protection. It kind of doesn't make sense because everyone else is apparently, but I still like it.
I'm completely convinced that Xander is going to kidnap Nicole. I really need Eric back on the canvas to be her hero (yeah, I know that's not very politically correct of me, but I don't give a shit). She can be all strong, independent woman and still have a guy rescue her. I'm totally fine with that, but I don't want it to be Deimos. I will take Brady as a very shotty replacement for Eric. But I'd also be thrilled with Nicole escaping on her own, but I'm not sure how that creates much drama. But please don't let Deimos rescue her. At this point that is all I'm asking.
