Good ol' Rolf is back. lol

Hope better keep her distance. The ol' wackjob probably has a syringe full of knock out juice on him, just in case... Or a blow dart gun up his sleeve.... lol

Don't think I'll miss Nicole.

I always wanted to do what Eric did to the house. Except what I have kept is stuff I like, and I'd hate to have to clean up the mess.

So Sheila said "Bon" during the nuptials. Didn't appear either Brady or Victor caught that. Maybe Maggie did, as she stopped the proceedings. LOL

Dumb show







Plus, I would have NEVER ruined a good cake

What does Eric do all day and night at that farm? It cracks me up how he asked Sami how she found him. Hon, everyone knows where you are. They’re all always coming there to see you and try to get you out of there. :D

I think there should be an alert in Salem when Sami enters the vicinity. On tv, radio, and a siren. Then everyone can prepare to have her stomp up to them and hurl judgemental garbage at them.

Gotta love how Eric keeps little boxes of keepsakes such as letters he never mails and printed photos he never frames. It’s endearing :wub:

I didn't mind the subdued exit for Nicole. Carlivati managed a lot given how little time he had and how big a hole he started in. If I didn't know better, I would assume she was already recast with that closing line. Also, it reminded me of Sami's own Gone With the Wind ripoff back in the day when she stomped up the stairs at the old Kiriakis Mansion proclaiming that with God as her witness she would never lose Austin again. But there was a weird disconnect between Nicole's pseudo-vow to come back for Eric and Nicole suggesting that Jennifer of all people go after Eric.

I liked the Sami/Eric scenes. I especially liked the imagery of them blowing out the candle together and Eric at least mustering enough energy to tell Sami to shut up. I got the impression that Eric kinda sorta wanted Sami to go defend his honor with Nicole, since he obviously knew exactly what she was going to do and made only the most perfunctory attempt to dissuade her. Oh, and I especially liked that Sami seemed equally up in arms about Brady getting hurt. On the one hand, I want Sami off my screen as soon as possible. On the other hand, I'd like her to stick around long enough to realize what Brady did to Eric... with the condition that she take a hard look in the mirror, think about what she did to Carrie, and share her conclusions with Brady. Bonus points if Carrie shows up in the flesh.

Eric's little Nicole portfolio would be creepy if this weren't a soap. He's got the pictures he took for Holly this year, the pictures he took on the beach in Jensen Ackles days, and presumably everything in between.

I don’t know what’s going on but I’m finding Alison Sweeney and her Sami to be especially annoying this time around. It’s like she’s turned up the volume on everything. Her scenes with Eric exhausted me. She was up then down then up again, then snarky and then solemn. It felt like AS wasn’t even listening to GV’s lines. And my god, her voice. Has it always been so nasally and screeching? I don’t think I can take much more of her.
I think she’s toned down a lot.

I enjoyed the episode but it was a bit of a let down after a plodding week. I was expecting more excitement from the spoilers we got this week, but it just didn't play out well on screen.

I loved the Sami & Eric stuff, any time the twins get together is exciting, but the sad birthday party was particularly amazing. I am glad the birthday is being brought up, it's a great little nod to history, and I'm sure the fact they're turning a SORASed 40 makes it relatable. All the crap going on in their lives, plus they're gettin' old. It's a nice beat for the characters.

I am really glad the Bonnie stuff is coming to an end. I don't know what it was, maybe the fact the double wedding ate up so much screen time and a Salem Day lasted weeks, but this storyline has dragged terribly and been missing so much. It has definitely picked up in the last week, thankfully. I love JE so much, always have, and I've been loving Bonnie, but I agree with others who have said it's gonna be hard to go back to boring Adrienne. I loved seeing Sheila again, and T-Boz has been a really surprising highlight of the show.

Looking forward to the Will stuff next week, and it was great to see Rolf. I do hope the show finds better balance in terms of spreading out stories, though.

Yay. Nicole is gone!!! Too bad she didn’t take Eric with her.

I really need for Adrienne to put the beat down on Bonnie when this comes out. I can’t wait for Bonnnie to be gone.

So over the Will crap.

Today sounds okay.
You mean to bad she didn't take Rafe with her?

I think his little portfolio borders on creepy, anyway...even if it is a soap.
I really need him to stop staring at those photos like, tomorrow

“If anyone can get him to talk, it’s me.”

Um, no Hope, you need to tell John to go talk to Rolf.

So Victor is committing bigamy? There is no way he could have gotten a divorce that fast. :rolleyes:
The marriage to Bonnie would be illegal/invalid since he is not legally divorced from Maggie. Besides we know Victor is going to refuse to marry her anyway. Also her name is not Adrienne Kiriakas which is the name she would have to use on marriage license and she is not Adrienne.

This would DESTROY me in good way. A mini-story like that would be everything I've ever wanted.

I think they're definitely going to recast Nicole with that ending, but I wonder when. I am totally cool with a break from her. I'm going to try to forget Brady's last few years and get onboard the Broe Redux train now. I also really want Eric to find love and could be down for Chloric or JenEric as well, since I am pretty annoyed with Brady's current characterization.

I wonder if Hope had deja vu to Hattie when she came in and surprised Rolf in his room? Such a similar scene.

She won't let him talk to Rolf AND HELP FIND WILL because it might put him, ANDRE, in danger. GTFO

Eric is pathetic.

Brady is a total ass

Nicole left Salem as weak, whiny, and pathetic as ever.

Ron did nothing to fix these characters. Just the opposite.

I don't agree. Eric is a struggle, though this may have been a needed push to get him in a better place to move on. Nicole definitely left weakly, but she's still better than she was 6 months ago IMO. Brady is a total ass who is finally acknowledging the issues he's been pushing aside for the last few years. I think the biggest issue with this story is that it was in a bubble, likely due to AZ's availability. I hope they follow up on this stuff with Brady. There's a good story there bubbling up right there at the surface.
