Am I being overly optimistic or is this a clanging great anvil....for Brady. "Okay I'll make this simple. Sometimes when somebody loves somebody and they get together everything seems just fine but then at some point the person they love just decides they love somebody else a lot. And they love somebody else they just never got over" I don't know whether to be impressed by the crossover storylines or pummeled by the heavy handedness. |

No, I thought it was a gigantic anvil hinting at a Brady/Nicole breakup, too.. And I think they've been moving toward Ericole essentially since Ron took over. Edited by cord08, Sep 6 2017, 04:31 PM.

I wonder if we'll see Brady's jealousy lead him to the Dark Side. Brady still has the amulet, so I wouldn't be surprised if that came into play at some point. I could see Brady using the amulet to frame Eric for Deimos's murder. Eric might even be willing to take the fall for the murder if he knows that Nicole is the real killer. Of course, the question then arises if Nicole would let Eric take the fall for her. I really think that Brady is going to do something stupid to hurt Eric, and this is somehow going to result in the cops learning that Nicole killed Deimos. In that case, Nicole's exit might involve her going on the run with Holly. Actually, I wouldn't mind if the storyline went in that direction because it'd result in some long-term, awesome Eric/Brady drama. Plus, Jarlena could also get drawn into the drama because of their loyalties to Eric and Brady. |

I wanted to slap Brady every time he said "My Father" to "Marlena". |

Highlights: John & Marlena. They're in character, in danger & in love. I loved the way they kept trying to cheer each other up in spite of the situation they're in. John getting tasered was good, Marlena's reaction at the orderly was incredible. Oh, and Hattie? More, please! I hope when this is all said & done, they send her off to Bayview or where ever, and keep the possibility of bringing her back open if she's needed. I can't wait to see the look on that orderly's face when he realizes what's happened. I also loved Hattie giving Brady such a good mind-twist. Granted, there's not much up there for her to work with, but she did end up sending him off without drawing too much attention to herself. Speaking of Brady...he remains an asshole. Mid-lights (is that a term? It should be...) Eric. Just Eric. No Nicole, no Brady. GV's acting is superb - the looks, the nuances...he's just incredible. I just don't care about this storyline. The horrible: IDGAF about Nicole & Holly. They can both leave & I hope neither of them are ever mentioned again. I want to like Eli, but again...what more about him do I know? I'm still willing to like him, but I need more to go on here, Days. Hope is a hypocrite. The shit on the bottom of my shoe: Rafe & Gabi. Neither GG nor CB can act for shit. I mean...GG's sneer was supposed to be "angry"? Please. Just horrible work by both. I don't care how they get rid of them, they just need to. Fast. B+ episode again & HOLY CRAP what a good cliffhanger!! And it's only Wednesday!!! Edited by No1_ILoveLucyFan, Sep 6 2017, 04:48 PM.

I would like if Nicole goes on the run and Eric helps her escape. I don't want Eric to leave with Nicole, but I need to hear that she has always loved Eric and for Ericole fans to get some damn payoff for all that we've had to endure! Brady is sounding more and more like Daniel. I seriously feel like I'm watching Dicole 2.0 with them. Nicole seems to only be with Brady out of convenience and because now she is grateful for him getting Holly back! And he is so manipulative...just like Daniel! It's just a matter of when is Brady gonna sabotage this relationship which leads Nicole right to Eric's arms, where she should've been the whole damn time! Problem is I am running out of time, and Ron needs to speed this along! Watching Eric watching Bricole is depressing! Small miracle that Eric and Nicole avoided the word Dan! I don't care what Dena or Ron or Josh wrote......Holly is Eric's daughter!! Screw Effing Daniel Jonas and his heart in Brady!! Come on Ron...don't let me down now!! Come on Ericole!!! :cheer: :wub: Edited by AmbernOK, Sep 6 2017, 04:56 PM.

The main problem with this storyline is that Brady is being written like Daniel or Deimos. I don't want that. I want him to at least act true to their friendship and his relationship with his brother. I've never disliked Brady as much as I fear I might if he betrays both his brother and Nicole. |

I am not enjoying Ron's stories. That was boring. The J/M stuff is stupid. It all feels just an excuse to have them say corny lines to each other instead of us actually being invested in the story. That's how it plays to me. Eric and Nicole have chemistry but I don't care anymore. They should have just shipped Nicole out of town earlier and moved Eric on to a story with Jen. I never care about Gabi or Rafe. |

The lines may be corny to you because you're not invested in their history- which is where those lines are coming from. Everything they've done in the sanitarium is deeply rooted in who they are as a couple and has pulled from their actual history. |

Its definitely not corny, that's J&M to the core the problem is they've been so out of character for the last 4 years we're not used to it. As Lovejm said John used to say stuff like that to Marlena all the time. |

I am a bigtime J & M fan, I think I still have my VHS tapes of their reunion on the pier, which I wore the life out of watching it over and over again. I love J&M doing what they do... BUT I can kinda see the storyline as some excuse to have them express certain lines. In my view this storyline is a quicky, there really hasn't been any investment in the J&M captivity storyline. Even the Hattie & Brady, Hattie and Eric scenes were used as a means to push the Brady/Nicole/Eric storyline and not to highlight that their two sons know that their mother is totally F'd up and their is no way she would leave John for Roman. The result of these scenes should have been Brady & Eric moving Nicole to the side so they could find out what the heck is going on with Marlena, and where the heck John is. The J&M storyline isn't full, it lacks some major layers. |

So, Brady shows some concern for John and Marlena's relationship. Great. Shocking that he can recall at all how much they love/loved each other. It was nice. But then he walks out of the office and goes back to being totally consumed with Nicole and Eric. Does anyone doubt he'll never bring up John and Marlena again? It was pretty obvious the entire scene with Brady and Hattie was really only about Brady and his relationship with Nicole. Which would be fine if Brady's sudden concern for John wasn't out of left field and it was believable. But it's not. So, the entire scene annoyed me, though it was enjoyable in and of itself, if that makes sense. |

I'm not saying it isn't lacking some layers, mainly in the outside of the story with the kids . But I am saying what they're doing and saying while together is rooted heavily in their history. It absolutely was a quick storyline too to give them something before the big fall stuff. I also think ron was making a conscious effort to show their love story again since John was off camera for the better part of a year and they have some potentially significant family stuff coming after this.

I agree......the scenes were not about the J&M storyline, the were used to support the Brady/Nicole/Eric storyline. I am not jazzed about that at all.. That's a very Dena thing todo, but surprise, it's Ron C.... |

I don't know but it would seem that both Eric and Brady should be very upset and alarmed by "Marlena's" behavior. Sadly I think they're both too consumed by Nicole. ^o) |

I've noticed he does it a lot. Like today's Gabi rescue. In the end it felt like the whole story, seriously the whole thing, was to get Gabi and Eli to look at each other again, with boring, predictable side lines of Abe/Theo, Lani/JJ, etc. I mean, it's a very soap opera technique for sure but it feels very obvious, which it shouldn't be. It needs to be more subtle and intelligent. I'll give him more time, because I understand he's having to deal with stories and characters he doesn't know. But I need him to study up on established characters and not give all his talents to the Tyler Christopher character, which is his baby. |

So I just got to watch the full Brady and Hattie stuff. I like that he really needed to talk to her and insisted. I like he recalled their long history. I like that he apparently HAS been trying to reach John. I actually don't even mind that they used to scenes to tie into another story because they actually did talk about J&M more than I expected. Good writing can have a scene have multiple facets. And let's be real Brady is super self centered. It'll be interesting if this conversation with Hattie sets Brady down a worse path of jealousy he can't dig himself out of Edited by Lovejm, Sep 6 2017, 07:29 PM.

I was thinking that too with Brady, it seemed like Hattie was subconsciously planting seeds of doubt into Bradys mind about his relationship with Nicole and her relationship with Eric. There's no way Hattie made that huge speech about great first loves for nothing. |

I thought she intentionally told Eric about it too! Especially since Marlena had just said she was concerned what damage Hattie was doing in Salem. Their two boys were in her crosshairs today Edited by Lovejm, Sep 6 2017, 07:54 PM.

Brady never was suppose to be rootable, imho the setup was in long ago. At one time I might have rooted for Ericole....now for me it's just vomit inducing. Because I can't stand pseudo Nicole. I liked Nicole best when she lied about Jen causing her to lose her baby with Ej and I'm NO Ej fan. (BUT they sacrificed that on the altar of SAMI BRADY) EJ and Nicole the two of them were perfect for one another. Nicole's every bit as bad as Kristen. Poor Eric is going to end up the big loser in all of this Probably riding off into the blissful sunset with Nicole and someone else baby that she convinces Eric that it his. |
