You mean RoWayne? It actually was RoJohn if you go back and watch the recreated flashback of her death from 86... It was Drake in the scene. But that all changed when they brought Wayne back. Edited by Rosebud, Oct 18 2016, 01:04 PM.

I just don't get it. Sue me, but I don't get how Orpheus comes back and mostof the action surrounding him has had nothing to do with John and Marlena. Yea, it's oh so nice Marlena's helping JJ, but i want to watch her going nuts that John is somewhere in danger at the hands of their once arch enemy. This show managed to make me only feel bored during this episode. |

What do you mean it's had nothing to do with J/M? They've been his main focus and all he talks about since he came to town! :shrug: |

Marlena shouldve been the one strapped with the bomb, it would've been reminiscent of 1986!! |

And it's been two months. He couldn't spend every minute only talking to or about them. They've been in the middle of everything happening here. |

I understand that the writers might have wanted to just make it so that John killed Orpheus' wife... because of any continuity issues and with JT playing Roman now. I maybe could have swallowed that... but if that's the case STOP bringing Roman up in Orpheus's dialogue! "I only wish I could have lured Roman to the Pub..." WHY? If John's the one who shot your wife! And John's dialogue is no better, "Come on man we were partners..." NO... no you weren't! I get that this might be John speaking about Roman's memories that he still has, but this makes it confusing as hell! :frustration: |

It's official! John is Roman Brady again, all we need now is Eric, Sami and Carrie to start calling him dad. |

I actually thought today was really good aside from ONE thing... The obvious confusion over the Roman/John/Orpheus history. John and Orpheus both referencing being partners, John killing Rebecca, etc. It almost seems like there is confusion within the writing team over what to do because we are getting conflicting info. I mean, why even bother referencing Roman if it's about John? I have no issue centering this on him but pick a direction and stick to it. This is exactly like what happened in the Bo story last year where they kept changing the circumstances surrounding his being MIA regularly. I didn't mind them saying that John along with the ISA painted him as evil. That makes sense. And he could certainly be out for mostly John because he left him for dead and all but if you are going to evoke Roman's name in this, than be accurate because it's problematic if you don't. O Other than that, I think they did very well today with the Orpheus stuff. This was the Orpheus I remember especially in his scenes with John alone. Those scenes were intense and I love how he brought up Rebecca and his kids. Great scenes and great ending with Steve. I had no issue with Jennifer being the one to carry the bomb. Orpheus had mentioned wanting Roman lured to the Pub too but said he couldn't be greedy and had to take what he could get. Lazio is the one that put the bomb on Jennifer so it was obvious that he just put the bomb on whoever he could and Orpheus just wanted to cause as much destruction as possible. He even told John after John asked him to promise that he wouldn't hurt anyone else after he kills him that he could make no promises. I think the whole Pub thing was just a way for him to get to John and then cause more destruction in the wake of that plot. Then, once John was dead, he could go after anyone else he wished and just make off with the money. I thought it worked well. The Hope/Jennifer/Rafe/Eduardo stuff was really intense. I like how it played. I can tolerate Rafe and Hope much better without the Aiden/Stefano nonsense and when they are involved in other stories. I was worried about how it would play when Marlena left but it came off ok. The whole town is in chaos, afterall. I LOVED the production values at the square today. The way it looked so foggy/smoky and the effect it created in the scenes where Orpheus shot JJ and the fallout was really cool. It almost reminded me of the Stockholm a bit. Marlena, Gabi, and Chad with JJ was really good too. Everyone, especially CM, did well there. And the hospital stuff with Steve and Kayla may have been filler but it was important filler. Scenes like that enhance the action. That was the biggest improvement today. Urgency. I felt intensity across the board today. It felt like a story climax. This is how the whole thing should've been written. And, they limited their focus today to just 13 characters and it allowed them to put together a much better show. And I continue to love the developing Chad/Gabi/JJ stuff. |

I wish. I know the Shelle factor makes it weird but I will gladly deal with that. |
