I wonder if the script/show originally had flashbacks. If the show isn't going to air them they should at least put some on their twitter. from 1986-1987. It quite an easy way to get interactive and show fans history. Just don't understand them.

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

Are they really not involving Roman in all this? I'm not complaining but you'd think he'd be at least a little bit more involved. It's a shame RoWayne never got to interact with Orpheus.

Thank you JCP.

Ok, I am confused again, are they going with what George said in his interview that Roman aka John Black was the one that killed his wife? I thought when Orpheus first showed up that he mentioned Roman.

Well why would they? John is apparently the one who shot the wife now.

Ya know what!? Since Orpheus was really a Drake/RoJohn villiain I'll go with it, I'll accept it because even when RoWayne came back in 91 he didn't say a single word about Orpheus and was not involved at all in the story so I'll accept a recton of RoJohn killing his wife!! Plus I so I don't need FauxRo involved at all in this!!

I'm surprisingly OK with this recton. I usually hate them but this one I don't mind at all.

I'm so tired of this Hope / Aiden garbage. For the most everything he said to her today was the same as what he said to her in the park with a few more added details thrown in when Hope tried to turn the tables on him. What's even worst is I have no indication that at the end of all this Hope and Rafe won't be back together as a couple ... I'm really caught between a rock and a hard place because I don't like what's happening now and I won't like what happens after it's over. What I did find weird was Hope calling him Mr. Jennings - it was almost sounding like a term of endearment. The sad part is I still see chemistry between Hope and Aiden but there's no way in hell I'd want them back together after this insanity. I'm assuming that now we'll find out before Aiden is gone that he did in fact kill his wife. But seriously Aiden, Hope was right .... there are 3 escaped convicts, murderers on the loose and you're worried about a booty call. Disgusting.

Um, so I'm supposed to buy that Theo is going to go full out DiMera and seek revenge ... huh? That just seems so far out of the realm of what I think his reaction should be. I understand his fear about losing his last surviving parent but what in his background and upbringing would drive him to take the law into this own hands!

Ciara sure didn't like it when Claire showed up to comfort Theo. This triangle is just starting and I'm already bored to tears by it. I just don't care.

I liked the scenes between Kayla and Abe and all the scenes at John and Marlena's townhouse. Yes Marlena was basing her profile of Orpheus on her time with him on the island but she was pretty spot on judging by the scenes where Orpheus talks to Joey about his kids. I'm ready for something happen to move this story alone - get Joey home, fail, whatever ... I just want to see someone face to face with Orpheus again.

I don't really care about the lack of flashbacks. Days has never been good with using flashbacks from way back and, to me, it seems obvious they really don't want to use them (probably for budgetary reasons). I am ok with exposition and having all the major players around discussing past moments like today. Now, while I really like the focus on Orpheus and his kids and it seems obvious that is going somewhere, I am starting to see why they took so long to even bother bringing him back. They seem to be tap dancing around Orpheus and his history. Both Roman and Hope should be far more involved. Even if you want to center this more on John than Roman, at least have him featured. Early on, he was and then he went MIA. They should've had Roman just get taken out and go into a coma. That would've worked. It's just glaring IMO. And, other than a few mentions, they keep acting like Hope wasn't even in Stockholm and involved with the Orpheus stuff. I have no issue with him going after John, Marlena, Steve, and Kayla primarily but at least have Hope a bit more prevalent.

I really do wonder if the Aiden stuff is tying in with the Orpheus stuff. The way those scenes were juxtaposed was pretty interesting. This Aiden/Hope stuff is a mess though. This is not helping Hope at all. Or Rafe. Backburnering them for September was helping them. Bringing them back to the forefront in this story has ruined what little repair had been done.

The stuff with Abe/Theo was good. VJ seemed a bit better today (emphasis on "a bit").

I like the show doing this prison break story and I love that there is more urgency and the town seems far more on edge than the murders last year but the budget restrictions really show up in stories like this and compromise them. That is always my worry with stuff like this. That is why I have no issue with the show avoiding it because Days has always been shoddy when doing action/adventure type stuff like this ever since around 2000. The production level just is never good and especially now on a budget. If they are going to do more stuff like this, they have to figure out better ways to do it within budget. It is possible. They just have to be better at planning as far as production goes.

I liked Marlena's description of Orpheus and his motives. It made sense and she is the one who would know most about that since she was on that island with him so long.

So, the only explanation I'm going to get for why Orpheus has been in jail 20 or 30 years is that he killed two men??? Ugh! So lame and soooo lazy.
Didn't he kill the two cops in Stockholm?
I don't know, they just said "two men". :shrug:

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I notice some of you keep bringing up Orpheus and Aiden scenes, and how they seem tied together for some reason. I wonder if Meredith could've been Orpheus' daughter, and Chase is the grandson in the picture.

I hate Rafe and Rope but I feel like it isn't affecting me as much as if should cause Bope was my main couple after Jarlena. I should be feeling more but it's just pure apathy. I guess for me the pain and frustration would be the equivalent of John died and Marlena hooking up with some Rafe-like Dumbo!!

They mention the wife shooting today but didn't say who killed her. They seem to be keeping that very vague LOL

I'd be fine with it if they'd have actually picked a story a stuck to it in the first place. They're all over the place and it changes between episodes. Sometimes it changes between scenes.

I hope not! I want Orpheus daughter to seduce Brady, screwe him over and then die in his arms on their wedding day.

The way it played makes you wonder if that is a possibility. Honestly, I wouldn't mind that.

I was expecting things like this not to happen with Quan there. It reminds me alot of last Fall with the Bo captivity story. The writing team seems to struggle with these kind of things. It's something that should be an easy fix too. It's all about just seeking clarification from the head writers on the details.

Oh great Hope is going to knuckle under to Aiden's demands.
So is Hooe going to sleep with Aiden so he won't turn her in?
This storyline sucks & Hope, Rafe, Aiden & Romam all need to go
down for their crimes.
Paging DA Woods
It seems like it's heading that way since she broke up with Rafe today, so that if or when she does do what Aiden wants, Rafe won't be suspicious of her. Sadly that's the only reason it appears Hope dumped Rafe. Personally, I think Hope should just go turn herself in, but I don't think she's going to because it would mean Rafe would have to go down too. She deserves everything she gets from Aiden, IMO

There was no reason or excuse for not showing more flashbacks to '86. They totally should have shown some of Marlena and Orpheus and his kids on the island! It would have really helped newer viewers know what Marlena and Orpheus were both talking about today.
