Very happy to finally see Steve and Kayla again. I just wish they were in their beautiful home. I think those who are more familiar with S/Ks history understand more where Kayla is coming from. Steve has had a loooong history of keeping things from Kayla to protect her. I like that Kayla got to voice 'don't you ever do that again' But I get those who feel that if Steve had brought Tripp to the wedding that Kayla would be upset about that. I guess I get where they both are coming from. What I most appreciate is that Kayla voiced that she's not ready to let Tripp into her heart because of what he did. I was afraid Ron was going to have Kayla forgive and forget so I like that there's more to come. Edited by KBrady, Oct 9 2017, 06:05 PM.

I wonder if they'll play it out again with Sami going to Paul (John's son) and being "You stay the hell away from my son's marriage. You've done enough damage the first time I won't let you do it again", I mean I don't entirely blame Paul but Sami might, she is Sami after all and Paul did pursue Sonny relentlessly just like John did pursue Marlena until she got pregnant and they got the fake paternity results. |

I'm watching now and the Eric/Nicole scenes are just playing beautifully. Someone mentioned on twitter how it was kind of like The Notebook and it kind of is a bit. I'm the type that has completely dismissed the last two years of suck so I am enjoying how they are making it seem like Eric was always it for Nicole with some of the lines. She mentioned how she though of him throughout the years. I don't really care that it dismisses the last two years because I dismiss them too. |

Okay, Nicole just acknowledged that Eric saved her from herself time and time again. Double brownie points. And she realized that Brady doesn't respect her enough to let her decide who can be in her life. That's nice. |

Just to clarify...I mentioned that the Ericole scenes being so similar to the J&M scenes took me out of it, but it wasn't because of the trope. I like that trope. I've seen this coming for weeks, and I think part of the reason I've come back around to Ericole is because of that trope. Following in those footsteps isn't a problem for me at all. My issue was how similar the dialogue is. And while I think it was probably mostly a coincidence, I'd also be willing to bet the same person wrote both scenes. The scenes were good, and I doubt it was a deterrent for people who aren't well-versed in those J&M scenes. I wasn't really complaining about them. Just pointing it out. |

So I took it that she was explaining why the wedding didn't happen, and she explained with the only relevant fact. Will is Sonny's first husband. (Well, only husband for the near future at least, but she doesn't know that...........) It isn't relevant that she is related to Will, just that he may be alive and thus Sonny didn't feel he could go through with the wedding. If TRIPP were related to Will, that might be relevant. But I don't think he is? I probably wouldn't have gone into the family history either, if I was her. :shrug: Edited by Cherianne, Oct 9 2017, 06:19 PM.

THIS!! I love this post because that's what I've been thinking as I have read comments. I don't want Kayla to be mousy and weak. I love that she keeps that fighting spirit even with her soulmate. That is what makes Steve and Kayla work so well, and the actors involved don't need everything to be "black and white". They have the chops to make the dialogue come alive, and I thought it was a bit more deep today because it wasn't an easy topic. This is complicated, and I am glad it's not being forgotten by the writers. The Theo/Claire/Tripp stuff....three under developed characters I just can't get into. Griffith and Higley didn't know how to make new characters stand out. Honestly we've had a problem with characterization since 1998, but watching these three is like watching paint dry. Ericole: Once the most promising couple since Sami & Lucas went down the drain years ago thanks to TomSell and then Higley. Finally we get Nicole making a declaration of love and we know it's too late. It's a waste, such a waste! They had some chemistry, and today I wanted to be happy and enjoy the scenes. The Problem: This Comes Three Years Too Late! There were similarities between these scenes and the famous plane scenes between John and Marlena. I was a teen, but I remember watching that episode and the fallout from it. It proves one thing: you can write the dialogue, but you can't make it spark unless the actors lay it all on the line. Yes, both of them held back today. Ben/Hope: Share scenes more often. You bring out the best in each other. I kind of liked Hope today! Clyde: I actually miss you and just want you back, in the flesh, and stirring the pot. |

It does make sense in that context. It's just that she's done this with so many relatives that it stands out now. She also doesn't sound very familiar with these people when she says these things. |

Okay, I need some help here. When Ben came back in 2016, some of what we saw was real and some was in Abby's head. The scene where he and Abby talked about raising "Colin"..was that real or fake? |

True, but I'm hoping that now we finally have RC things will continue to improve, dialogue included. I am finding the show extremely watchable these days, and am very happy with things. I missed last week and binge watched the week on Comcast on Friday-and didn't FF once! In 5 hours! Amazing. OOPS......that was a reply to Lysie. I tried to add the quote, but I doubt I got the coding right. Edited by Cherianne, Oct 9 2017, 06:29 PM.

The writers needs to let new viewers know that Ben is violent and psychotic. We haven't seen that side of him under Ron outside of his escape where no one was seriously injured. If I was tuning in today for the first time, I would have thought that Ben is so sweet, misguided, mentally-challenged young man that just wants to be home with family. I like that he keeps doing that putting his head down thing like he's tired in order to get sympathy......it's working over here. :biggrin: I wish they had recon'd all Ben's murders so he could stick around longer.

Isn't it kind of implied? LOL. They've mentioned that he strangled 3 people to death multiple times (#Justice4Wendy). |

Sorry, no way. Give him something original and epic for just him and whoever. Besides this story really isn't even close to J&M's. Just some vague sloppy similarities thrown into a story that feels rushed. If Eric and Marlena ever discuss this it would not work as a comparison of their histories. |

I liked the Ericole scenes. I am glad they mentioned some of the history between them. I didn't know about the Lucas Nicole thing. When I started watching Eric was already a priest and Nicole had just came back into Salem. I have always wanted them to be together. I haven't really been interested in the Tripp/Claire/Theo thing. The Hope/Ben scenes were good. I think Brady and Sonny have to much going on right now to worry about Titan. This seems out of place to me. Liked Sonny/Paul. |
