Half Halt


The Three Stooges have really slipped up on their badassness. Totally inept! :blulaugh: :blulaugh:

I did like Kate spouting off to good old Clyde. Why would he want to take Thomas and raise him as his grandson when he's not blood kin? :rolleyes:

I get why everyone wants to live at the Kmansion now, but security there hasn't been good for a while now. Everyone and his brother comes and goes as they please. Same at the DiMansion. J&M's townhouse may be safer! :blulaugh:

So how did Xander know Theresa had french fries on her plate? :laugh:

Good episode

Even though everyone living at the mansions is because of budget constraints, I actually like the idea. It reminds me of the late 90s/early 00s when everyone and their brother (literally!) was living in the Kiriakis mansion. I do think it will actually help story. It allows for more character interactions.
In theory it's fine. But this instance just reinforces Brady with the wrong family.
Yes it does.

It also overlooks the fact that Deimos acquired that mansion by poisoning Maggie while pretending he is the savior of all!

Between Deimos and Rafe over propping and the word tent pole, I view Days as having a limited future at least for me! Hope Im wrong and story actually appears for those other than the pets of Higley Quan . The last time Higley did this I had to quit Days for years then it was all the Jonas family
I agree they need to repair the connection between Brady and John/Marlena. But I also think it is a bit tough to ignore the long history at this point of Brady's connection to Victor. As to Deimos being the savior, he did in the conversation reference that he checked with Victor before making the gesture and Victor agreed to it. Had they had Victor in the episode making the offer I think some folks would have complained there was too much Victor/Maggie. I suspect Chloe will be moved in before you know it.

I get that the show has some budget issues so if it helps having several people living in the mansion then it doesn't bother me. If it leads to Thanksgiving dinner with everyone around a table, then I think that will be fun. I've also wanted them to break the bubbles and this is a means of helping to do that. Hoping we get some of this from the folks living at the DiMera mansion although perhaps less likely.

I don't blame Brady necessarily for agreeing to the move in. It was really Theresa that he deferred to and considering the townhouse has issues between the kidnapping and other events, I can see why Theresa would not feel safe there.

I didn't see a major focus on Deimos today. He was just the catalyst of getting everyone in the mansion. I thought it was interesting that the writers set up that Deimos had actually visited Zander in jail once. That makes sense to me also.

Tate wasn't kidnapped from the townhouse though. They were in the park. I get Brady has a history with Victor. It's the only history the show cares to remember. All the other years Brady was written as John and Marlena's is basically forgotten.

I'm not asking for him to forget Victor exists. I'm asking for balance and some respect for the real history of Brady's upbringing.

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!!

Nope, the new version today of Clyde popping in on Kate wasn't better than yesterday's like I was hoping, it was worse. And I hate that her house now has the DiMera foyer. Just put it back where it belongs.

Why is Marlena being so flip and nonchalant about this whole Orpheus thing? Well, at least she's still got her clutch purse!

They should just give Tatertot to Nicole. He seems to like her unlike his stupid bio parents.

I'm super bored with this Kate/Clyde scene.

Unless they change it, does Deimos have any history with the bgs?

It should be all about the characters on canvas who have history with any of them.
The propping of Deimos is really overdone!
I was just coming to complain about Deimos getting such a big role in this storyline. :D
I didn't see Deimos being a big focus today. He asked them all to move in which Nicole initially declined but I'm sure will eventually change her mind. Where is his big connection to this storyline and the sense that it is about him?

From what I watched the primary focus was on John/Marlena, Kayla/Steve, Kate/Chad, and of course the bad guys. The rest with Brady/Deimos/Nicole/Theresa was mostly just a conversation about moving in to the mansion. That wasn't a big deal to me. It's not like the bad guys are focused on Deimos.

I think they have taken a step back in having Rafe/Hope on as much too since the new writers took over. I expect that to heat up once Aiden reveals what he knows about Stefano's death. I have been wanting that to come out and Hope/Rafe get their due about what happened. So this doesn't bother me either. Much better than just having it dropped without any repercussions.

I agree. And there was a really simple way of doing both. J&M were on today and at the hospital. Instead of having Brady and Theresa with Deimos and Nicole, have them go to the hospital (you know, to check on his dad). While there, have Victor (offscreen) call Brady and suggest moving back into the mansion for all the reasons that Deimos mentioned. Brady could defer, or say he'll think about it. He hangs up and tells J&M and Theresa what Victor said. A discussion could have been had and J&M could encourage Brady to move back into the mansion for security reasons. There could even be some kind of veiled reference about them not being comfortable with Brady and Theresa moving into their townhouse because of past history, so that's why the mansion is a better idea.

It could have replaced the Deimos scenes (and Deimos and Nicole could have still had their conversation), given more to J&M to do, showed the family connection between Brady and J&M, and still gotten Brady and Theresa in the mansion without Deimos playing a patriarchal role that (whether I like it or not) belongs to Victor. Honestly, a lot of these things just aren't that complicated.

Finally an Orpheus/J&M flashback... But not sure why they couldn't show more of it, like when she is running to him and Orpheus shots her. God knows they made sure to show every scene Kate shared with Clyde in those flashbacks. IMO there should have been a stand alone ep of Orpheus/J&M to explain the history and let us get a glimpse into how J&M feel about this. That would have been a stand alone that made sense to have.

I get you. I'd like to see them connect Brady to John and Marlena more too. A shame that hasn't happened.

I forgot about Tate being in the park when he was kidnapped - you're right. Oh well, Theresa will be gone soon enough and they likely will stop using that set anyway. It was odd having John/Marlena, Victor/Maggie, and Brady/Theresa all at the same complex. Must be some place! LOL

The writing and screentime for Marlena may change, but at least we have one constant. Her ugly ass accessories.

Anyway, this works fine. Honey, you look horrific.

I think Brady made his choice years ago that he'd rather be attached at the hip to Victor and now that he has Daniel's heart Maggie will continue to be all that.

I hate it. He is a Black and he should be with Marlena and John. The K family now has Justin, Philip, and Deimos - Brady should go back home where he belongs.

Good episode today. A lot happened that filled in some blanks for some people and set in motion events to follow.

I like how Chad got to hear that Clyde had the paternity test doctored and that he's now forewarned that Clyde is going to be coming after Thomas. I liked the scenes that followed after between Chad and Kate. They've always had a good relationship. I just hope this means that Kate will protect Chad from whatever Andre has planned. I somewhat doubt that though seeing as is letting Andre live in her house.

I liked the Steve and Kayla scenes and the scenes between John and Steve and Steve and Marlena. I like that John still calls Steve 'Partner'. John gave Steve good advice and it paid off. He did the right thing and talked to Kayla. From their conversation I know can see how Kayla's perspective will change. Steve thought he was losing her and that really focused his priorities. When Kayla thinks she has lost him the same will more than likely happen with her and that's totally believable and plausible.

Deimos talking to Brady and Theresa coming to live at his house ... probably could have been better coming from Victor but I can see them wanting to integrate Deimos more into the Kiriakis family unit and this is one way of doing it. I like that Deimos didn't argue with Nicole, it appears he already knew her answer would be no. Xander calling Nicole after they all left really spooked her and I can't say I blame her.

The three villains teaming up from now on ... oooh look out Salem. Strap yourselves in, you're in for a bumpy ride!

Loved the musical montage at the end. The lyrics of the song were perfect for the situation the people of Salem find themselves in. I hope we'll get more musical montages in the months to come. They were one of my favourite parts of the show back in the 80's and 90's.
