Give me some for instances??? I'll get started for Marlena, The 1st instance I can even think of Marlena was show as a loving mom to him was at Aremid. Ice Skating rink with Kristen interrupting with Belle & Brady. Okay, Marlena, Maggie, John, Marlena, Belle, Brady..John saying goodbye to the kids They showed Rebecca and Kristen as much a someone who nurtured Brady as they did with Marlena. I can think of no time in 1993 with the exception of the moment when she thought she might be pregnant Marlena was ever around for Brady. Nor in 1994, . Most of the time Marlena was far more concerned with Belle, Sami than she ever was about being there for Brady. It's implied OFTEN, but very rarely seen onscreen. I see no reason why Marlena should be treated as his mother in terms of level of respect, if you base it solely on his childhood She's not Brady mom anymore than she was truly Carrie mom. (that we know of) I find the honestly of the couple of years Brady and Marlena weren't getting along as very well portrayed. Refreshingly realistic. I just don't have a problem with their being a rift between DH's characters over HIS HER and THEIR'S Edited by Loving80sDays, Oct 22 2017, 02:44 AM.

I disagree with your entire premise. By the way, your line "She's not Brady mom anymore than she was truly Carrie mom" ... -- that doesn't prove your point at all. Marlena was mom to Carrie in every way that counted. Anna was Carrie's mother for part of her childhood. However, once Roman and Marlena got together, Carrie came to see Marlena as a mother figure, and Marlena treated Carrie like a daughter; and then Anna became more like just a friend to Carrie. And even when Marlena was married to John-as-Roman, and then John-as-John, the Marlena/Carrie relationship was still like mother/daughter. Carrie called Marlena by her first name instead of calling her "mom", but Carrie still saw Marlena as a mother figure. Edited by nananana7, Oct 22 2017, 04:03 AM.

Not to mention that entire time Brady and Nicole were friends, or romantically involved before J&M arrived back in town in 2011 Nobody had heard from Eric (onscreen) for 11 years. Edited by Loving80sDays, Oct 22 2017, 07:38 AM.

I don't know what you mean by "truly" but Marlena raised both Carrie and Brady as her own. It was on screen. Marlena loved Brady but didn't really become his mother figure until after they found out Belle was John's. At that point, they started keeping the two kids together. It happened almost immediately and even prior to that, part of her pleas to him to keep him from leaving town were wrapped up in being a part of Brady's family. Almost every scene the Billings boys were in as Brady was about John and Marlena. Brady lived with her multiple times before J&M were even together, and her reunion with Belle after every kidnapping in the mid 90s was also a reunion with Brady. When Marlena moved in with John and Kristen while Kristen was "pregnant," it was Marlena, Belle, and Brady moving in because Brady had been with her. Brady was shown with Marlena as much as Belle was. Kristen and Rebecca (who was around for like half an hour) were shown with Brady at times, but nothing like he was with Marlena. His family unit was John, Marlena, himself, Belle, and even Brady made that pretty clear in the scene you referenced earlier. Once J&M were officially together, he went back and forth between calling her mommy and Marlena and at no point lived apart from her again, no matter what John was doing. But who's basing it solely on his childhood? Even Kyle Lowder's Brady literally called her "mom." I don't need Eric's to do that, but it's not like it's something we made up. I have no idea what you're referring to in that last line. Who was talking about the DHs? I have no problem with there being some rifts between the characters because of the kids. I don't think the stuff in 2000/2001 was very well written (as evidenced by the fact that they eventually just rewrote the entire thing and said Brady was just being a jerk) but kids have issues with loving parents all the time. I wouldn't want Brady's entire existence and role in his family to be built on a year worth of story that got retconned away anyway, though. :shrug: |

I am glad they are actually going to look for Will and he doesn't just magically appear. |

Rebecca nurtured Brady for the whole hour she was on the show but Marlena didn't. Ok. We watched years of it on camera as Lysie detailed. |

Kyle Lowder was on Days for 8yrs as Brady, much of who his charcter was dealt with his relationship & the acknowledgment that she was his mother, or that he thought of her as that. The storyline played out, how he rejected her and then finally came to understand, acknowledge and embrace the place she has in his life as his mother. She was very present in Brady's storyline back then. |

Interestingly, I think the last time we saw a set from Stayla and Jarlena's homes, it was a bedroom. Stayla after their wedding in February and Jarlena when Hattie drugged Marlena in August. |

I could watch Eric punch Brady ALL DAY LONG. The more time Brady has spent with Maggie and Victor, the more insufferable he's become. His personality change isn't about Nicole. He's been a train wreck for years. I've wanted someone to smack him for a while now. |

Sorry to jump in late... You are conveniently only mentioning years when Marlena was still with Roman and when John was with Kristen,and when Brady was too young to even talk yet and still in diapers... how about when John was too busy chasing Kristen or living at the DiMansion with Kristen, and Brady spent most of his time living with Belle and Marlena? How about when Brady was old enough to remember and make a lasting bond with Marlena after she and John got together in 1997 and lived together as a family at the penthouse? There are a lot of family scenes back then before the sorasing. A lot. Like two years worth. Btw since you mention Rebecca, I’m surprised you forgot Tanya who spent as much time with Brady as Rebecca :D Since there was a lot of those bonding scenes, it seems obvious they were NOT setting up any kind of conflict if it was obvious why do so many fans feel betrayed by the Kyle Lowder Brady BS? The only thing they set up was for Brady to be the son of Marlena’s heart. Tom Langan’s KL Brady was an obvious detour of that, or else they never would have had it all basically erased by Brady’s own dialogue later, and never brought up since. Stuff like that happens a lot on soaps and has in almost every couple and character’s history because some writer thought they’d try something OOC. If shows are smart they listen to fans and forget it and try to get back on course. Thankfully they’ve done that with the KL nonsense. Hoping RC doesn’t dredge it up since its been bad enough that Tomsell and DH made Brady a Kiriakis. The sad thing for me is that RC and the show appear happy to keep Brady in the Kiriakis world. I guess he’s been there to long. It’s who he is now. I don’t think there going to fix that, even though a lot of fans wish they would. Edited by Rosebud, Oct 23 2017, 01:25 AM.

I wish Eric’s punch would give him amnesia and erase his memory going back to when he first returned from his first drug rehab. |

I vote Eric keeps punching him until that happens. |
