Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Aiden is only not redeemable because the show doesn't want to redeem him & just keeps trashing the character more & more because they want to prop Rope.
Redeeming Aiden would be fairly easy, given all he's basically done is lie. (& the blackmail is only possible because Hope has something to hide & she wouldn't if she were being written correctly.)
Just like the show decided to have Will Horton murdered instead of redeeming him. The only thing he did was cheat on his spouse and try to cover it up by blackmail. But apparently that is so evil that he was sentenced to death. No sense to it at all.
I don't think a lack of redemption had anything to do with Will's death. It wasn't a punishment for him cheating.

I really wish they would have shown some of the looting and vandalism.
There are enough morons doing that in real life. No more encouragement to them

The timing of Aiden's announcement to Hope was just lame. And thanks a lot, Aiden. We have to hear that awful scream again.
Everything about Aiden is lame

They're not going to be encouraged because of some realism on a soap opera lol. If they don't want to show it, they don't need to mention it.

well, so much for a break from Hope and Rafe. Why the hell is Hope having a flashback in the middle of Abe's press conference? Maybe if she and her boyfriend had swept that building for snipers Abe wouldn't have gotten shot.

LOL, where is JJ?

Were those two people that sprinted out the only press that was there?
JJ has a few hours off until nighttime when they need everyone again because of the looters. That's what he told Jennifer and Gabi yesterday.
He was called in to investigate looters at a store. Gabi was going to wait for him at the Salem Inn. I wonder if she is in a room.next to the one where Clyde is holed up

Either way, he wasn't supposed to be milling around HTS, though i wouldn't be surprised if he randomly came running in tomorrow. They wouldn't have all the cops in the exact same place anyway.

Overall it was a fun episode.

I hated the flashbacks. They were a detriment to the story. I have no idea their purpose when most people DVR and aren't missing episodes (unless they want to ;) It's an old device that needs to be retired.)

Im guessing Abe was yelling at Hope and Rafe to show the pressure he was under. It'd be a great addition to actually show the cops and detectives casing out places, searching for the hostages and coming up short. A busy SPD is good, but all we've seen Rafe and Hope do professionally is shuffle paperwork.

Still, I like that the whole town is involved in the upheaval. I thought it was good to show Ciara and Theo hanging out at the police dept waiting for word in a protected environment. Aiden stalking Hope waiting for his opportunity to pounce added a nice layer of additional tension.

I'm getting a kick out of Joey and Claire as teen hostages. They're spunky. Xander has been a bit of a disappointment because he's only being used as the dumb sidekick. He's ferocious on his own and I want to see him in his devilish glory. Hopefully that's to come.

Great detail to add in today was John giving Claire the necklace. I like how it was played and I thought it fun to watch her and Joey work to get the necklace and have a bit of a plan of their own.

Abe's speech, the ransom demand and the setup with Clyde picking out his victims was all done really well. Although, John not getting service and staying put as Abe droned on felt wrong. Go look for service across the square. Try next to Rafe since he seemed to have no problem placing a call. ;) I loved that Clyde singled out Aiden, but then was foiled and hit Abe. Nice element of surprise!

I also liked Aiden whispering to Hope he knew she killed Stefano. It showed how focused he is on her that he couldn't contain his glee in having this bit of blackmail and how little he really loves her considering the timing of which he picked. Claire's being held hostage? Too bad. It makes Aiden all the more villainous and a slimy villain makes good soap.

Love the cliffhanger. Love that I'm eager to see what happens next for all involved.

I don't have a ton of faith in it, but I'm hoping Xander just kind of being there is building to him exploding when he finally gets to do his own thing.

Oh! I've been meaning to say...there hasn't been much Theresa since the change. I had heard that part of the reason she's gone is because they were having trouble working around her other projects. So I think we're seeing how that affected things now. I mean, I'm obviously fine with that. Just pointing it out. And it is a little weird that they'd focus Xander's initial stuff on her, and then not have much of her after that.

Why did Clyde want to off Aiden. I hope next time he hits the RIGHT person

I FF a chunk of the Hope stuff because I didn't have a ton of time but today was fun. I enjoyed the necklace thing. John's certainly been given his smart spy hat lately.

The teens were the funniest they've been in a while today. I liked Claire ranting Orpheus once she knew he wasn't going to kill them. And then Joey chiming in about Steve. That's Marlena's granddaughter though- firmly believing John will get her out of there. Marlena always did believe John would save her too.

Love Orpheus interrupting the press conference just because he's got such a presence. Looking forward to tomorrow

One more thing. It continues to annoy me that Joey has been missing a week and all we saw were a few S&K scenes at home. I get she had brain surgery but still

you know Deimos called Brady one time Brady Kirikas and referred to him as Victors' son...just throwing that out there
So by that logic did Victor and Isabella have a child together!? or is he another Maggie Horton egg baby?
Victor doesn't need a woman to procreate.
sorry a little vomit in my mouth

hopefully but then Deimos will play he's the scariest Kirikas ever card...

Can Clyde handle him the way his minion handled EJ...by the way Jeremiah is on top of things.

I wouldn't be surprised if Deimos is working with Orpheus, I mean how did O know that the wedding had been moved to the mansion wasn't that a last minute decision of Deimos....nah, probably just stupid writing.

Great ending today -- more like a Friday than a Thursday (which makes me nervous that tomorrow's ending may suck).

I just wish that they didn't portray these villains as such morons -- especially Xander. He was devilish when he was on his own.

I'm not impressed with the convict story, but I'd rather watch it than the Deimos crap. It's been nice these two days not to see him, and I'm loving the break from Victor and Maggie.

I'm not a Xander fan, but it feels like he's a non-entity in his current roll as Orpheus' toadie. Instead of the baby story they should have Xander off torturing Theresa and Nicole.
