And I don't really think it's okay to guilt Chad using his dead wife (and I"m not even a Chabby fan). Dude should have punched him for that.

I honestly believe they could have fixed that scene if they wanted to. Honestly, the biggest part of the story... John rescuing Marlena... And nothing. At least get a body double in there. Really makes me nervous about them just writing John in and out of the room for the next couple of months. I would have much rather have John kidnapped by Orpheus than this.
But they couldn't fix the rescue scene. They had no idea when Drake was going to return. So, waiting forever wasn't an option. They can't recreate the whole scene once he's back for lots of reasons, but budget being the biggest one. And they couldn't have John kidnapped by Orpheus without rewriting a large part of the show for the next several months. I mean, I don't like it, but reality is reality. Drake got hurt, came back for a little bit, and then was unable to work. They had no notice and no time to deal with it. And they had no idea when he would be able to return.

If Orpheus kidnaps John, then they either rewrite the show to make sure people react to that and have Marlena and others constantly trying to find him. That is either going to totally mess with other storylines they have planned, or instead of bitching about a crappy wrap-up, we'll get months of bitching about how nobody cares that John is missing and nobody is doing anything to find him. If I'm the show, I take a lousy wrap-up over months of complaints. Well, they will get months of complaints anyway, but not about this particular subject. I guess the other option is an emergency recast, but I'm guessing that would go over like a lead balloon as well.

It was a sucky situation and the show's options sucked. I can fault them for many, many things. I don't think I can fault them for that one.

The problem is then what? What can Marlena do for months? Sit and cry or give up? I'd totally prefer he just be upstairs or at work or something for a while. Either way I don't think his whereabouts are something that upsets Marlena during this absence.

So not here for Stefano being made out to be some kind of martyr! Doesn't everybody know that Stefano and Andre were the ones behind the plans for Aiden to murder Hope for no apparent reason that was ever explained. Why is everybody surprised that Hope would be pushed beyond her limits after being goaded and laughed at by that evil maniac who spent his life destroying hers. Chad needs to take a seat , he had no love lost for his father when he was alive so all these fake sentiments now sound fake.
I don't think he's a Martyr by any means nor do I think he should be perceived that way. But the cover up weakened Hope's case. Face the music, she should. (That's my inner Yoda).

Days needs to quit setting people on fire. It's not cool! But at least there is some wood between their bodies...not that it would actually last that long.

Rafe confronting Chad about all the terrible things Stefano did to him and his family...

I'm pretty sure Stefano had Rafe kidnapped and replaced by an imposter which directly affected his wife and stepkids at the time, i.e. his family. Just because it wasn't as bad as things he has done to other people doesn't make it nothing, or non-existent.

So sorry Days, but your attempt to get me to feel sorry for Hope today fell on deaf ears. All those long shots of Hope sitting there looking sad and alone had zero effect. And OMG that scene where Rafe and Hope look at each other and are suppose to be doing something with their faces to convey something or other :teehee: :facepalm: ....

Plus, I don't think they knew immediately he wouldn't be back. So they wouldn't have known to do that. They'd have had to edit things in for months to make that work. Or else, he'd have disappeared and then there wouldn't have been another mention of it until after Christmas.

I don't think he was trying to guilt Chad. He was offering a different perspective that Chad was familiar with.

Exactly Rafe! Hope was a victim of Stefano just like Abbigail was a victim of Ben. Hope shooting this demented man was no worse than Abbigail setting Ben on fire.

Eh. I mean, I guess they did the best they could. Definitely a frustrating way for a story to end.

The Hope stuff was fine. The show is just moronic for this whole thing, though. At the moment, everything hinges on Hope now covering for Roman and Rafe. WHY? I wouldn't expect her to rat them out, but I'm not invested in her relationship with either man. The Rafe/Chad stuff falls flat since they haven't been friends for a year and were only friends for maybe 6 weeks.

Paul's idea to mosey on over to Sonny's was frustrating. Let's not pretend this is urgent.

Roman being the one to arrest Hope makes me ragey.

Dude was in a wheel chair and was no physical threat to her. I don't agree.

Abbigail seduced Ben in a bed and tied him up to set him on fire . He was no threat to her and the time and Chad covered that up too.
Besides, Stefano being in a wheel chair didn't make him less of a threat to Hope and her family. Nothing stopped Stefano from spreading his evil.

She did that BECAUSE he was a threat to her and the baby. The whole reason he was there was to be a threat to her. That was not the case at all with Stefano.
