Regarding Kristen personally, I loved the last head writers writing of her :) In the 90's, I remember only a sweet Kristen who became psycho which never make sense considering she was the beautiful, stylish, young, woman who could easily have got any man she wanted, but she turn psycho for John ??? WTF we usually talk about destroying the characters in stories or pimp another characters, well the 90th Kristen pimp Marlena and John, in my opinion. Bristen were hot and it was the only time I noticed the current Brady.l :)
You mean Brelanie or Branie was not everyone's OTP!!?? ;) :blulaugh: :roflol: :roflol:
To be fair, there were certain people who liked them too heck they were people who saw sexual chemistry between Kristen and EJ too. lol Anyway current Brady has not been a character that I noticed. I just wondered why this sad character gets screen time ???I saw a spark something that was fairly interesting when Bristen story was on screen. ;)

I think I get your point as well. It would be ideal to keep as much integrity of the character as it's possible. But I think it's too much to ask from soaps these days. And I'm not only talking about Days - right now my head is exploding because of Y&R characters are getting personality transplants every second episode - you just don't know whether what you watched a month, a week, or heck a day ago happened or not. Such a weird feeling :stars:

At least Kristen was 15 years off the show. And even in the 90s her character underwent a radical tranformation - I actually can't imagine that the same Kristen who was praying outside the cabin after Marlena gave birth to Belle later did all those horrible things. So IMO after that she could have become anything and everything (I still think raping a priest was OOC for her, but well...). So her changes weren't unacceptable to me.
IMO the most important thing that remained the same between the two stints was the actress lol. That helped a lot.
I give them at least some credit for setting up the 2013 personality by having her talk to Brady about how traumatic it was to be disappeared (basically sold into sex slavery, although at the time it was played off as Susan/Edmund being funny), what her father did to get her out, what it was like to go straight from that to a five star hotel and how hard it was to start going outside, etc. I realize that she was manipulating Brady with the story but it always struck me as having some emotional truth to it.
Yes, Kristen said to Stefano she had to use the truth.

In one of her first interviews Eileen said that she felt hesitant to revisit Kristen's "harem" past. I got the impression that they maybe planned to write more about it. It's just my guess.

Well Bo loved Billie!!! ...He just loved Hope more!!
What can I say? Poor Billie and Kristen :blulaugh: . They should have run from these men as fast as their legs would carry them. :blulaugh: .
You can currently find them on RHOBH being verbally attacked by Lisa Vanderpump (and her twitter zombies) :glare:

Arianne was Emmy-nominated for that Ericole scene, I think that's why they showed that clip.
I ask myself, why did they waste so much time with them and wasted her on Daniel!??
They would have gone back to Ericole sooner or later IMO. Seric wasn't created as a rootable couple. The more angst the more investment from fans. I understand the logic.

Now I'll shock you - I like them both - LVP and Eileen :D .But it's off topic.

Last time Eileen tweeted re: Days was July 31st and she said "not anytime soon :(". No update after that. Maybe it's a good sign?

Hopefully "not anytime soon" just means "not in the next 6 months". So there's hope!

Precisely because they wasted so much time on Nicole and Daniel, I can not take Ericole seriousley from Nicole's side, love story ??? Well, needed really talented writers to convince me. Just saying.

Her previous answers were "no :(". So that's an "improvement" LOL.

Thanks, that makes sense. I thought it was noticeable that the script did a lot of dancing around precisely what Stefano saved her from and why she would need therapy, and assumed that they didn't want something that dark to color Kristen's rather gleeful revenge plot. But I wasn't really following the show at the time, much less the interviews, so I don't have the full picture.

Just curious, but did you ever like Ericole because I don't remember you liking them, or Eric for that matter, and before this rewrite of Daniel being the love of her life, the show did a damn good job of selling Nicole's love for Eric, and his for her.

I'll be honest, I had great expectations when they cast GV and resumed Eric at first, I had expectations of a Thorn Bird Story, but the story which was played out was nothing that appealed to me, I thought Eric was stiff and dull and priest thing bored me. And the Daniel thing did not make things better later, I understand that people want to see Ericole because there is chemistry between the actors on stage :) I just hope that they write a more exciting story than what was shown earlier thats all. And I have trouble seeing Nicole so in love in Eric when she was all in with Daniel , my God, she still talks about Daniel in between. lol

I wasn't implying anyone from the audience did (I have no idea, actually). I just didn't like this writing direction, because I couldn't get behind the character's motivation.
I understand your point. I just wish that instead of taking an established character and completely changing everything about her without explanation, they'd honor who characters were and let them evolve. She could have become the person she was in 2013 without it being at the expense of everyone else...including her former self. They might as well have brought Wendy back and given her that writing. The only thing that was the same between the two stints was her first name (because they changed her last name too). They also could have pretty easily explained the changes in Kristen if they tried, but nothing could have explained the stupidity/apathy in pretty much everyone else in Salem but Marlena when she returned.
RIP NURSE WENDY!!!!

Regarding AZ's skirt length bullshit, isn't she just wearing what Nicole wears in the episode Trump was there to tape? Aka she's in COSTUME. Aka she's AT WORK. Aka she's DOING HER JOB. It's ludicrous the length (see what I did there?) people will go defend pigs.

Some people will go through massive lengths to excuse a sexual predator. Including victim shaming.
