I meant the show. It took them several months to call it rape if I remember correctly. They never showed Eric dealing with serious problems faced by rape victims. Or maybe I've forgotten :shrug: .
They called it rape as soon as Eric remembered it. They couldn't call it anything before that because he didn't remember it happened. They didn't deal with it perfectly by any means, but he did have issues related to it.

DrewHamilton, I agree about Eric/Kristen. I thought that's where they we're going when their returns were announced so close together.
Well, yeah, to be fair at least they handled Eric/Kristen better than Steve/Ava...

Christopher said on afterbuzz he was filming all week last week. I don't think his tweet is about leaving Days but you never know. I hope we find out he's on set when the show is taping again.
Paul is one of my favorites, so hopefully he's not leaving. Has anyone on Twitter asked if he's leaving? I don't have Twitter.
Several people asked but he didn't like or reply to those tweets.

He only liked the tweets from the fans who weren't freaking out:

I'll take that as a good sign.

I hated the priest angle for Eric. I hope it's never revisited.

To this day, I still think Brady/Kristen should've been Eric/Kristen. Martsolf and Davidson had the chemistry to pull it off, but I just never could get over the fact that Kristen was once a mother figure to Brady. And it wasn't ever really mentioned by anyone else. Had they had other characters throwing that in Brady and Kristen's faces, I think I could've accepted it more. I just hate when the show ignores glaring things like that.

Kristen going after Eric would've been a much better story, given her hatred towards Marlena. It eventually go there with the whole rape thing, but even that was so over the top and just bad.
I hated Bristen for the same reasons as you but I'm not sure I would have liked Eric/Kristen because Eric was around to see what she did to John/Marlena. I would have been down for a story where Kristen blackmails or manipulates Eric and he doesn't return the feeling. Interestingly enough, Eric and Kristen briefly teamed in 1997 to push Roman and Marlena together.

Chloe and Sami mentioned it to Brady.

I'm ok they didn't go with Eric/Kristen because both characters just "returned" (one of them a recast). The audience (especially, newer viewers who weren't familiar with the characters) typically needs time to get used / to start caring about characters (again).
I agree. Eric was a very hard character to recast. He's vital to the canvas and even when he's been gone for a decade-plus his absence is felt because of who his parents and siblings are. Then to make it more difficult the young adult Eric had been played by a wildly popular actor who went on to be wildly successful elsewhere.

If GV, for all his considerable talents, had been handed a storyline where Eric was basically a jerk/moron (which he would have to be to fall for Kristen after being around for her late 90s antics) instead of a storyline where he was extremely sympathetic, I think the character would have spent a lot more time being brushed off by fans as FakeEric.

Giving NuEric a story that played heavily on his primary romantic connection under the previous actor was the perfect introduction to make it clear that GV's Eric is JA's Eric, just a little further along in life, rather than some other guy named Eric who has no resemblance to his previous self in personality, experience, or relationships.

Ugh don't remind of how annoying Eric was in 1997. Your mom does not love your FauxDad get over it and grow up!!! Stop playing on her guilt! And stop being such a brat to your mother!! But he eventually got over it which made me really happy cause I always liked Jensen Ackles as Eric. From the very beginning to the bitter end in 2000.

I hated Bristen and I would've hated Eric/Kristen too. But it wouldn't have been as nauseating since Eric was not Kristen's little cute stepson.

Yep Eric was as bad as Sami with his hatred towards John and worship of Faux back then. I really wish the show would have done a deeper storyline ( Bill Bell style) to explore Sami and Eric's feelings towards John. SInce Sami stayed we had a few of those moments, but Eric/John has been criminally underdeveloped.

I agree. Eric did eventually get over it, he was even John's best man at the wedding and have that great speech and was involved with in the the John/Gina/Greta/Eric in Paris when he and Greta were getting closer. There was even that scene where he told Greta that it wouldn't have been that bad if John really had been his dad/ remained his dad and how he was a great father figure. I agree that it was seriously underdeveloped with GV, hopefully we get some John/Eric moments now that Eric is heading back to Salem.

I always appreciated John and Sami moments whenever JER wasn't writing.

What do you mean by Bill Bell style? From which storyline? Y&R or B&B?

I don't know how to embed tweets but the Washington Post just came out with a story on Trump and his visit to the Days set and some of the crude stuff he said about woman and Ari Zucker. OMG her life is going to get interesting with this.

I am reading the article and it appears it was a 2005 video when Trump visited the set if I have it correct.

Ugh, I just read about the Trump thing and Ari and came over here to see if the board had picked up on it yet.

Gross. I'm so so sorry she has to have even her name anywhere near that creep. I hope she doesn't get swept up in a media storm because of this.
