Yea but she was explaining who he was to Tripp, who doesnt know Will from a hole in the wall. So she had to explain the context of why Sonny would be upset. Besides, Claire never met Will either as far as I've seen. |

They still could. We never actually saw him kill Serena and Paige. We saw him flashback to killing them but he could have been brainwashed into thinking that. Marlena went through the same thing didnt she? |

Im glad Sonny didnt bring that up because as much as I loathe Brady, bringing up someones past drug problem would be unfair and despicable actually. |

Well obviously I enjoyed every sweet morsel of Ericole goodness!! :wub: I'm biased, but I think Greg and Ari brought it today!! :cheer: The show has been majorly lacking in sex and romance, so I hope the Ericole scenes tomorrow do not get cut! The music, lightning, and thunder was choreographed so perfectly! Gosh I'm a sucker for angst filled drama scenes! :popcorn: The fact Dan was never brought up once was shocking!! Bless you Ron! :applause: All that Ericole and Eric history was a treat for me since I've been an Ericole fan since Jensen was there! My jaw was on the ground as Nicole was telling him she shouldn't have chosen money over love. The only critique I have is I hope Nicole tells Eric he is the love of her life and why she chose Dan over him....because with Dan it was about security and ready-made family. But whatever...I'm getting more than I have in 2 years...so again Thank you Ron! I do hope Nicole gets her miracle child from Eric, preferably twins! :cloud9: Eric's "Go to the car" and Nicole's "No" was by far my favorite moment!! She was begging him and teasing him to make a move! Then he just got closer and closer...*Swoon* :blowkiss: Edited by AmbernOK, Oct 10 2017, 01:40 AM.

He raped her at 15. I know she wasnt popular but I think Jordan's absence is glaring. Her entire existence was about her protecting Ben, but it seems like now she couldn't care less. |

I never saw that as Wendy was definitely dead, to the contrary. How many X's did Stefano or Peter pull something like that and later we found that person was very much alive or living in some bayou or island hideaway. I do BELIEVE the scene was meant to really let your imagination go wild. Which is a good thing, because so often they show much more than is really necessary and paint themselves into a corner story wise. BEN and CLYDE has always been true assets to the show I was always in their corner. (as characters or as villains) As stated in earlier comments, as well as on a FBpage that I created. We (E & I) took it down because it became a lot more work than we were willing to continue to invest in, when the show was giving us such a lame amount of both Drake and Deidre. I have NO regrets about doing the page. It was a lot of fun to show so much love for 2 characters that makes days worthwhile to watch for us. Since that time, I've watched tons of stuff from 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, early 1991 in full episodes.So I have a much better idea of what the basic story lines of all the major couples,timelines associated as the stories relate to one another. it's hard to watch most of the current couple when you know how great these super couple have been in the past. The stories really haven't change all that much, except that more often than not it was an X wife or girlfriend,kid, who showed up to destroy a couple BLISS!!! Instead of a dead relative. Steve/Kayla Kim/Shane Roman/Diana/Yvette/IzzyB Jack/Jen Victor/Justin/Adrienne Brady's, Horton's Johnson's Kiriakis's and then Deveraux's I really got into watch Christie Clark when she was a young Carrie. There are so many wonderful and funny scene's that she shared with Roman aka Drake. She's my favorite character now. I l always liked her before. Now i dearly love her!!! Never will catch up on all the stories from that time period. BUT I Finally took a little break from Days completely because I seriously wasn't interested when Hattie and Bonnie were front and center. IN FACT I was fed up with the show as I was during possession. What brought me back was BEN, NOT Will or Sami. Both of them are greatly overrated. JMHO I know both Hattie and Bonnie are still around but I can deal with them now because BEN/CLYDE has offset some of that nonsense and bluster. The day I know that Carrie has returned will be the most thrilling moment or me that I've have had in a very, very, very long time. Edited by Loving80sDays, Oct 10 2017, 04:20 AM.

Ericole was so good!!! Great scenes, great writing with all their history coming full circle and great chemistry between Greg and Ari. I still can't believe TPTB threw it away in 2015. The rest was alright. I enjoyed Ben's scenes with Hope and Clyde. The talk between Steve and Kayla was really nice. Very good episode. |

About Wendy, I blame Ryan Quan. He should know that Ben killed another person after the necktie victims. Ron and Sheri weren't there but they could have done their homework better. |

I know a lot of fans wanted the Westons gone 2 years ago but I think maybe it was a big mistake to get rid of them. There's always a way to keep those villains around on soaps if you want to. |

Also most of their breakdown writers aren't new either. (There's someone at Corday Prods. who is a continuity manager - not so sure what their exact responsibilities are though). And scriptwriter Richard Culliton was with the show too when all the murders happened. So there's no excuse for this. Edited by thepadange, Oct 10 2017, 03:42 AM.

To be fair, we wanted them gone BEFORE they turned them into compelling villains. Before that turn, Ben was basically boring and Clyde was too. They had hinted at some big story with Ben and Jordan, but it had completely fizzled out not long after Clyde arrived in town. The big secret went from the hints that Clyde had raped Jordan to something about Jordon being the one driving when they had a car accident that killed her mom. It all made no sense, but I guess they wanted to keep Clyde around so they changed things. And then made him boring too. If they had always been crazy and evil, we might not have wanted them gone so bad. |

Your post illustrates my confusion. So was Clyde raping Jordan ever confirmed as fact? I remember things the same way, that they hinted at it and then it was dropped. |

It depends on your perspective, I guess. It was never outright stated but it was heavily implied. I don't remember the exact words, but Clyde was accusing Jordan of "knowing what she wanted" and Jordan was horrified and pointing out she was 15. It was the only thing that made her leaving and having all these different identities make much sense. But, later, when "the secret" actually came out it was all about Jordan driving the car when the accident happened and Clyde accusing her of killing her mother, etc. It definitely seemed like they wanted to redeem/retcon Clyde so he could stick around. The the writers changed and Ben became the serial killer and Clyde was back to being a bad guy. |

There are, but it rarely works. I like them coming and going, and that keeps them from eating at the pub with their victims or attending bachelor parties as part of their redemptions. |

IMO it’s deliberate because the writers are pushing the Sonny/Will/Paul story. They want to make sure Tripp knows how Will was married to Sonny because that’s all anyone’s going to be talking about for a while. It’s just Claire’s turn to deliver that essential info to new viewers and Tripp. |

Did they actually show Wendy's body? Was it found? If not, here is a plot twist. He fired the shot told her the next bullet would be hers if she said a word. He pretended to shoot her to scare Abby more. |

I watched the Hope and Ben scenes this morning. The young man playing Ben--his name escapes me...should submit this stuff for an Emmy. It is very good. |
