Of course they cannot expect her yet since they think she is dead. But it is perfect, and the timing even incredibly matches. 2015 is when Kristen would have wanted revenge.

Great Episode! :P

Oh Kristen is getting so close! It is palpable already :P

One of Kristen's main theme music pieces was played during the scene with Marlena, John, Kate and Roman, and Brady has mentioned her two days in a row now. :P
But how do you know that they'll even put Kristen and Brady back together.

And of course, they made a very nice reference to Cassie and Rex :P I could imagine Kate going to go call them after it just to make sure they are okay. : )

We should start some kind of go fund her page to raise a bunch of money to get ED and keep her at DAYS!

Late to the party.

I absolutely loathe the writing for Brady. Things may change later on, but as of right now, Brady is the first casualty of this writing regime for me. He has a right to be angry, but the way this is playing out is just not enjoyable to watch at all.

I do, however, like the writing for John and Marlena. They've done a good job of giving their reactions to the Will thing layers of disbelief and plausibility. As has been discussed before, it can be hard to write back from the dead stories without making some of the other characters who have also returned from the dead look like idiots. I think they've managed to avoid that in this case while still allowing the characters to hold on to some of their surprise and suspense.

John mentioned Kate was telling Sonny about Rolf "right now," and I thought it was kind of weird that we apparently aren't going to see that conversation. I'm not complaining necessarily, but his reactions are key to the story, I think.

I see the layers for the JJ/Theo story are starting to build. The scenes in this episode related to that were kind of boring, but I can appreciate the groundwork being laid.

Lastly, why do they insist on putting so much gel in Greg's hair? The man has great hair, but I'm not fond of the slicked back look.

I meant to mention that too about Kate telling Sonny. They probably should have played those conversations simultaneously.

I agree the 'back from the dead' reactions have been pretty spot on. I really thought John explaining to Paul that Rolf if the reason he was sitting there was a cool beat too.

I actually think they both already think Will is alive to be honest. I think that's why John hesitated to answer Marlena Thursday and get her hopes any higher than they already are, just in case.

Maybe I'm being too picky, but there's been a change of day (Nicole spent the night with Eric and came home the next morning), everyone else has changed clothes, but Hope is in the office in the cocktail dress she wore to the wedding? It completely distracted me in all her scenes. I think CM is really good, so I hope the story he has coming up gives him some good stuff to do-I really wish he wasn't saddled with SS though; she's very pretty and maybe has improved a little, but is still not good, and Lani bores me. EM has been the best I've seen him since I started watching the show again, but Brady is an absolutely horrible person. I have no sympathy for him and this is pretty irredeemable behavior. I do think they've developed his descent into vindictiveness and cruelty pretty well, so at this point I hope they keep him dark and stop trying to make him some kind of leading man/hero type. The character of Brady is just too damaged and self-centered for that to work for me. He is much more interesting as a villain.

I may hate the way Brady is acting and/or reacting to Nicole telling him that she's in love with Eric but I have to admit that EM owned his scenes. Brady's rage and jealousy was palpable. The man looked to be on the brink of madness if he isn't already there. But saying Nicole 'made him this way' is a bit of a stretch. To me Brady has always been prone to extremes. If he's not coming off as dumber than a bag of hammers then he's coming off as extremely paranoid and to fuel both of those bad character traits he has an addictive personality and easily falls back on his crutches of drugs and alcohol. So it appears that Nicole traded one monster Deimos for another monster in Brady. I hope everyone finds out what Brady did eventually ... but then of course that would mean Nicole would have to go to prison.

I liked the scenes between Marlena and Eric. She may not like Nicole but she accepts that Eric is a grown man and his love life is his business. All she can do is smile, support him and be there to pick up the pieces if need be.

I can't believe Paul talked John into digging up Will's grave. That being said it made for a great entrance for Sami's return.

I agree about SS but there's something I like about JJ being with Lani, at least the idea of her on paper. I think it kind of grows him up in a way that wasn't happening for me with Gabi. I'm glad CM has potential for good stuff, he and CS and LA are good younger dudes and I hope the show takes care of them.

I agree about Brady. I don't know if he should permanently be a villain, but if I have to watch EM I'll take this over him as a leading man.

Paul says they'll do it respectfully because Sonny Lucas and Marlena deserve to know the truth
How does one respectfully dig up a grave? Lol. Digging up a grave is digging up a grave.
Three Quick Steps to Respectfully Digging Up a Grave

by Paul Narita


1. Make sure that the digging is done by someone the deceased mistrusted and would not want handling his remains, should they happen to exist.

2. Ignore the law and the expressed wishes of the deceased's next of kin.

3. Don't bother to wait one freaking hour for the deceased's mother to get back to town so she can get the pleasure of unexpectedly finding her child's grave in the process of being desecrated.
And don’t drag your “dad” into it with you because you’re incapable of doing anything on your own.

I wish Marlena were a little bit more like Kate sometimes!! she'd definitely put Nicole in her place for messing with her sons!!
Maybe she got tired of being called a bitch by Nicole.

Well I agree he shouldn't have dragged John into it but John is a grown ass man. He's capable of saying no.

I agree. Paul and John are doing this together. If you're mad at Paul, you should be mad at John too. They are both responsible for their own actions.

Personally I think exhuming the body is the right thing to do. I think you have to consider what the deceased would want and Will would want his loved ones to have answers. That being said, this is not the right way to do it. They should have tried to convince Lucas and Sami or a judge before going to those extreme measures.

Oh I totally agree that the body needed to be exhumed, there is really no other way for definitive answers.

However, it wasn't their place to do it! To me Paul wants to do it for all the wrong reasons... and John agreed to it for the wrong reasons.

Exactly. I get that John feels bad that he wasn't around for Paul's childhood and that Paul is the only son he has who appreciates him, but John caving to Paul's puppy eyes was not a good look. He needed to stick with "this is illegal, and this will hurt other members of my family, so we will go through the correct channels and that's a fact."

Back when I was a big Sami fan, I hated it when she would yell at John and bring up the affair over and over. Now, I don't even like Sami but think she has every right to read John for filth. He desecrated her child's grave because he wanted his latest kid to have instant gratification, and screw a modicum of respect for Sami/Lucas/Will.

I think it also says something about Sami's state of mind that she doesn't grab a shovel and start digging herself. Lotts of people were guessing that she would be like let's do this and see if Will's alive. And it bothers me a little bit that she's put off from doing that and from believing in will just because she chased EJ for years and he was dead.
