Alrighty, just watched the show.


Ok..Ya'll are going to hate me, but me and the hubby snickered through all of Doug's speech. I could not help it. Shelle is one crap shoot away from going nuclear and Lumi is dead in the water. I did like the part about John, nice touch. I also loved that we got to see Doug and Julie. I would love to see more of them. I like diversity on a show and that includes age.

I did not enjoy the wedding like I normally would. I guess I feel Belle has no business getting married right now, and to me her vows were lies. Philly was not at the wedding, but he might has well have been with all the flash backs etc.

I enjoyed what Billie said to Phil today...Good sis. Nice to see Billie away from Bope and have scenes with her family.

Lucas was once again a total jerk...but I would expect no less. He gets no pity from me.

Hope has turned into the Mrs. Kravitz of Salem. Her eye brow lift while listening to Belle's phone message cracked me up. So very John Black of her...The eye brow that is...Now I am wondering WWHDN...What Will Hope DO NEXT? :blah:


Stefano and Marlena...What was with the RoseMary's baby carriage in the living room? The setting was very, very creepy...I kept expecting old Dimera fiends to come into the living room chanting "Hail Satan". Thanks god we have a Di Brady baby...so much drama with that kid. This is going to be fun. However, odd that Steffy was paying so much attention to an empty carriage...Ah, I see foreshadowing, Steffy has a plan. Marlena was also creepy. Was she channeling her late sis, the nut bag Samantha? Anyhoo...things are heating up here and I can not wait for this Mr. Toad's Wild ride to get started. Let the pooh hitting the fan begin. :clap:

Awesomeness, and nothing but it can be said for today's show. I can't really give my full thoughts right now, but I definitely will later.

Mary, they did not have any explanations as regards to Lexie. She didn't even have a line today. Today's not her last day though. It's been changed to the 29th.

PERFECT episode. I loved every minute of it and had managed to stay mostly spoiler free so the Stefano/Marlena scene took me by surprise. That was a chilling scene, made even better by the sheer loveliness that is Marlena. For her to speak of killing and vengeance while looking so beautiful and classic and perfect was soapy greatness!

I cheered when Billie delivered her speech to Philip. Yes, she is sexy and single and fabulous and doesn't need a man....but I do wish they would give her a wildly romantic love story. She would rock it!

I know there are many fans of Philip and Belle, but I'm not getting a good vibe from him. I think he's scary and obsessive and dangerous and while I think Belle is definitely attracted to him (thanks in large part to his money and lifestyle), I do believe she loves Shawn. I think she's suffering from a lot of guilt over her marriage to Philip and how she handled it and also blames herself for him going back to the Marines and getting injured. Philip uses that guilt to manipulate her, thereby causing her to have more guilt because she's deceiving Shawn. I really wouldn't want to be Belle right now!

Loved Lucas's choice of name for the baby girl but hated how he did it. He's treating Sami horribly right now. And very clever to give the baby the nickname of Ali!

My most favorite part of today's show was definitely the montage, with Doug doing the voiceover. I have loved Doug and Julie forever and wish they would make them a permanent presence in Salem, in the tradition of Tom and Alice Horton. That narrative was beautifully written and beautifully delivered by Bill Hayes, and I'm glad they used the song, which had special meaning for Shawn and Belle.

I missed Bo today, but it seemed clear to me that it was a last minute change. Bad luck for the show. I liked that they gave us a Chelsea/Shawn scene. Sometimes I forget they are brother and sister because they have no interaction. Nice touch with the forget-me-nots for John and Zack. There were a lot of those nice little touches today, with nods to the history of the show.

Ok FUCKING AWESOME EPISODE!

THE BEST EPISODE since John's Death weeks.

The musical montage was one of the best in recent memory and Martha Madison, Deidre Hall, Joe Mascolo all were VERY good in this episode.

That Marlena/Stefano scene at the DiMansion goes down as one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SCENES EVER ON DAYS!!

I was ENTHRALLED. The level of hate played by Marlena and the fact that deep down she knows she can somewhat control Stefano and Stefano who LOVES her, but fucking hates the bitch at the same time. I LOVE how Marlena threatened Stefano with SEETHING hate.

Stefano's vow at the end that he is NOT finished with her yet was BONE chilling.

Dr. Fucking Marlena Evans Brady Black is back people, she is FUCKING back and Hall is better than ever.

Whatever the show has planned for Stefano and Marlena it is going to ROCK THE FUCKING house.

I LOVE that we are getting scenes between them!

BTW, Deidre Hall is looking SO damn good lately. Whatever she is doing it is damn well working for her.

DAMN, that was a fucking AWESOME episode today! I can't rave enough about today's show. I wouldn't have changed a thing (well, okay, I would have had Bo, Alice, Shawn and Caroline there if it were possible, but I digress), it was simply perfect. It had everything; love, heartache, family, desire, intrigue, suspense. Today's DAYS was an hour of just classic, character-driven soap. FLAWLESS!


Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I nearly died happy when Stefano called Marlena his "Queen of the Night"!!! :D

I havent been watching regularly, but did Lucas officialy change his name to Lucas Horton? or is the baby Alice Caroline Horton Roberts?

Also, Hope sitting back and saying nothing about Belle is purplexing; considering all the crap she has been through with "third parties" but, this is Days.

Well technically Lucas truly is a Horton and no doubt his disdain for Kate has made him what to change his name to Horton. Usually children are named after their fathers, and this is not a slight against females (just putting that out there), but I like that he has taken his father's last name...it feels right to me.

I can accept that one.

EJ DiMera is a little strange, I wonder why the show dropped Wells when he was referred to this like last week on screen.

I also thought of Rosemary's Baby when I saw that baby carriage! I think Stefano's definitely got a sinister plan. There was a lot of foreshadowing in today's episode, which makes me excited for the coming weeks.

Wow, I'm in tears from watching that montage.

Doug and Julie, hands down, were cemented 100% to me as the next Tom and Alice, just from this episode alone. I hope they become a tad more prominent.

It was kinda silly not having Pop Shawn and Caroline there but oh well, what can you do?

And is Frances THAT ill? She'll at least be in the Christmas episode, thankfully. Shame it's been since July.

You know what's real funny you guys is that I don't get to watch today's episode of DAYS until 3AM.

I think Lucas going ahead and naming the baby girl without Sami's consent is justified. She's by EJ side all the time, and her focus seems to be on her son, not her daughter. Besides, who named the baby boy? I feel sorry for those twins... we can already see who's more attached to who, and have an idea of what their future holds.

You know what I think she IS that ill. The show is not using her very much, but I think this has WAY MORE to do with her frail health than any other reason.

I am looking forward to seeing her at Christmas, but I fear that may be one of the last times we see her on screen again.

The poor women, it must be VERY hard on her to get to the studio, plus the job itself is probably very difficult for her to work through.

Man I miss Alice though, I really really do.

Absolutely Perfect...those are two words that can describe this episode..This truly was a gem...I'm a spoiler addict and i was still on the edge of my seat during the wedding..Especially when Belle said "I can't do this"...

There were so many little moments that just made this episode a joy to watch...
-The show opening on Marlena reading the invitation, letting the audience know we would be seeing a wedding today..
-Chelsea apologizing to Shawn about Zack not being there (nice seeing them interact)
-Lucas naming his daughter Alice Caroline Horton (love it)
-Doug/Julie/Maggie (loved seeing them all),
-Abe/Lexie at the wedding (it was nice seeing them at there)
-the oohhs and awws when Claire came down the isle
-Shawn wearing Phillip's watch, which reminded Belle of her feelings for Phillip
-Shawn and Belles' beautiful vows (loved Belle mentioning her father)
- Mentions of the Purity Rings, their first kiss on the island, and Alice's ruby..
- Billie's i'm fabulous speech (i just adore Julie Pinson)
- Doug's speech/the montage/and "Ill Be" as their first dance song
- Maggie and Julie holding the twins, so Lumi could dance...(loved the angst today)
- the fact that we got a wedding that wasn't at St. Lukes (if just to mix it up a bit)
- Steve congratulating Shelle
- Hope listening to Phillip's voicemail..(wow i had no idea that was supposed to happen)..excellent cliffhanger...

And finally those Stefano and Marlena scenes..Absolutely incredible..Deidre Hall was back with a freaking vengeance today...You can tell she's loving this material...This revenge story is a masterpiece in the making with Deidre and Joseph..they really play off each other so well...And the dialog was wonderful, as was Marlena whispering in Stefano's ear that he created a killer..Also Stefano calling Marlena a witch as she walked away was priceless..It just shows that Marlena still gets to Stefano..

Thanks to everyone involved in making this episode.. I'm planning on buying it on Itunes to be able to save it to my computer..And Hogan and Ed Scott please keep up the great work.. If you continue to give us gem's like today and i'll be a happy soap fan..

That is a really good idea. I know I could just watch free clips of it on You Tube or something. But I think I too will buy the episode on Itunes just as a way to show support that this is the type of soap I want to watch.

I watched it again last night on Soapnet and enjoyed it all the same (if not more). And even a part of me during Doug's speech felt like they were talking to us the viewers saying "We knows times have been tough, but hang in there."

I love you called it Billie's "I'm Fabulous" speech. That is the perfect name for it. I love her Billie so much more than the Billie character in the past. I actually believe this Billie believes it when she says "I'm Fabulous".
