I'm not so sure Orpheus leaves next Wednesday since they gave the dates for the other two and not him.
I was thinking the same thing. If he was really gone, why wouldn't his exit date be included?

Plus, if you go back to the Stockholm storyline, his capture in Sweden didn't end the story at all. I have a hard time believing that there isn't more to this.

Well, this is disappointing but I could tell the villain story was almost over when we got the spoilers last weekend. It was a great idea but it could have been so much better.

We've heard about him not long ago, it's a guy Blanca is afraid of, her ex-boyfriend from Mexico. I imagine it's the same Guillermo.

Hopefully not but swallowing a fatal pill and with the other prisoners done, I would be shocked.

It is clear they are also shifting to other stories too.

He's pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

It would be awesome if he fakes his death so he can lurk from the shadows and continue on his own. I just have no faith in these writers to do that. I feared we would get some anticlimactic end to this and it looks like we will.

Clyde's date I believe to be wrong too as that wouldve been today and I'm pretty sure he still has to be caught still so probably tommorow or they could still be off.

Hmm...well, if it is the same one, that makes it a little better because it may involve other characters. I just doubt it is the same character.

As good as next week sounds with the Orpheus stuff, I hate that none of this has a SINGLE consequence. This confirms what I suspected. This prisoner story was nothing but a way to reset the canvas while also trying to bump the ratings a bit. It was a transitional arc. I wouldn't even call it a story. It was merely setup. This happened in 2008 too. The entire Fall of 2008 was nothing but a bunch of mini-arcs to setup for future stories and here it is again. I don't mind it but they built this up as a bigger deal and this could've had some sort of consequences. Granted, this positioned Abe for Valerie and helped the characters of Theo and Joey a little. It also set up Chad and Gabi and the Dimera/Kiriakis stuff. However, I expected this to at least play into sweeps and for it to come to a huge, explosive end. I thought this would at least lead to John's temporary exit and maybe even Theresa's exit. Hell, could we at least had one bomb go off and causing total chaos? This reminds me of the end of the previous Dimera/Kiriakis feuds, which ended with a whimper.

And while I don't mind them keeping Clyde and Xander alive and able to return, the exit for Orpheus is atrocious. I mean, that ending for him would be good at the end of a massive reign of terror but he did almost nothing but hold people at gunpoint and plant bombs. No grand scheme. Nothing. Here you have an amazing villain that could drive story for a long time and you end him like this? Sure, they could always bring him back from death again but this is just stupid.

This regime is good at interactions and they have improved story structure and helped some characters. And, yes, it is better than a few months ago as a whole but they write with no urgency at all. Everything just meanders along and goes out with a whimper. At least Tomsell ended things in big ways. Same for when Griffith was around. They can't seem to find a head writing team that can write story that maintains excitement from beginning to end and has consequences. Ridiculous.
I agree. It's horrific that there's not one long-lasting consequence.

It would have been great to see a kind of dystopian Salem where everything is chaos and The Villains™ are in charge and the "good guys" are hiding underground. People needed to die, or at least get permanently injured. Yes, Abe was shot, but who really thinks they'll remember he's got bullet fragments lodged in his heart beyond next week or next month? Someone should've been paralyzed (for real, without a lame miraculous cure like with Maggie) or have amnesia or brainwashing (proper, not whatever that was with Paul) or something.

Ben Weston managed to murder four people, kidnap and almost scorch to death another two, kidnap a baby, and drive Abigail into madness. By himself and without anyone noticing.

It's ridiculous that these three evil men who are working together can't even kill or permanently maim even one person.

All of these writers have skeletons of great stories, but none of them know how to execute the ideas and follow through.

I was just thinking the exact same thing!!

Great minds!! :cheers:

I hate that they've wasted PT/Xander, and gave Xander and Nicole so little airtime together. :shame:

James Read's last airdate in Voldemort has to be wrong. Today is the 12th and the last thing we saw him do was reach into Thomas' crib. They wouldn't not show Clyde being arrested, would they?

Tate doesn't die... CS said something about her doing something and her going back to California, and Tate staying with Brady


That means she is going to jail??????

I hope there's good stuff coming for PaulSon, Chabby and Ericole in December and January because I have a bad feeling about November sweeps.

I'm thinking it's fake too. Especially considering John's still airing and it seems the accident didn't happen yet. Makes me think it happens on something Orpheus related ahead.
