Writers' Strike Update The usual update but what was interesting is that in the 12/4 issue Carolyn Hinsey wrote that daytime writers were on strike over issues that don't effect them so they should be exempt. Over 130 daytime writers signed a petition and posted it on the internet citing that the issues were the same for all writers in every genre AND pointed out that Days has been available on line for over a year and the writers share is nothing. Plot Preview: Stephanie ws Raped. She finally confesses to Cordy that Ford raped her. Cordy wants her to tell someone but she's afraid Max won't want her anymore. VCR alert: 12/21 Belle's jealousy flares when Philip publicizes his date with Chloe. "He's defiantely very curious about what's going on with Chloe,' notes JKJ. 'She's vague in her explanation of where Brady is and Philip will investigate that.' HOTN: DH, AS, S&K What will happen: -Stephanie makes a shocking confession -Shawn warns Chloe about Philip -Lucas becomes the prime suspect in the shooting of EJ -Stephano has plans to save the DiMera empire. http://www.network54.com/Forum/222985/mess................... |

OMG, Stephanie! I think quite the opposite. Max would want to protect her, not avoid her because she was raped. I look forward to Belle's jealousy. I feel awful for Shawn though. |

Max shouldn't want you because you are his sisters daughter. |

Well, that's a logical reason. But, not to think that he wouldn't want her cuz she's been raped. |

Oh my- it just became clear. Chloe killed Brady, came to town and ran down John and now is going after poor Belle while trying to secure a comfortable lifestyle through Phillip. Looks like Stephanie's rape may have consequences and play out the effects pretty well. Huh. |

Stephanie is more worried about Max not wanting her rather than the fact that she was raped? Give me a break! They are going about this the wrong way if this is what we're going to see. Forget the golden opportunity that you have with Kayla and Adrienne experiencing rape, two women that Stephanie could talk to about her problem. Instead, she's more worried about Max not wanting her. This is just a way to get Max and Stephanie closer. Hey writers, we don't want it! I find it interesting that Philip will be investigating Brady's whereabouts. That makes it sound like there could be more to the Brady/Chloe situation. And I find it funny that all of this is happening around the time that John is supposedly alive. Do you think that Brady has something to do with where John is being held? Maybe this has something to do with ISA. Wasn't there a rumor going around that Brady joined the ISA? I can't remember. |

I hate much of what they spew, but I can understand Stephanie's reaction. It'll depend on how it's played, but it would make sense if she feels dirty because of the rape and has the irrational reaction that Max won't want her. |

True, and if they play it out that way, then I can see the storyline being realistic. However, I have a feeling that this is going to soon turn into more about conflict-engaging between Max and Stephanie rather than the actual rape. |

I agree with PX but it has to play out that way for it to work. I do like the fact she goes to Kayla and I hope we get the proper history mentioned there. I glanced over Philip investigating Brady's whereabouts. That is interesting. |

With all the nods to history lately, I'm sure they'll touch on Jack raping Kayla. |

They already did. Stephanie mentioned, like she was saying that she had a turkey sandwich for lunch, that her mother went through the same ordeal that Cordy did. And that was it. :angry: Bullshit! For the past year now, we have been wanting Stephanie and Abby to find out what happened with their parents, and you're going to tell me that the big reveal was given off-camera? Bull! Missed opportunity, writers. |

Stephanie mentioned it in November during Ford's hearing but never mentioned Jack's name. I agree it was a little too important to merely mention in passing so I wondered if Kayla even told Stephanie who did it. Perhaps she didn't because she didn't want Stephanie to look at Jack that way. Either way, I hope they make up for that with this stuff. The actors seem to be ad-libbing a bit more lately, especially since these are post-strike scripts that aren't able to be re-written by the official writing team. I am sure there will be mentions. I just hope it plays out the right way. |

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to hold out hope that the actors will make reference to something important as this. This is something that should be in the scripts. It is something that should help mold the character into the next phase. It's not the actor's responsibility. |

Oh, I definitely think that there is still a way to salvage the opportunity. Like Tim said, I can't see Kayla telling Stephanie that her Uncle Jack raped her (Kayla). That's just something that Kayla wouldn't want Stephanie knowing because she would always resent Jack for it. It's the writer's responsibility to have Stephanie overhear this bit of information, especially with the topic being at hand right now. |

We all know the writers aren't always on the ball for Days or any show. I am just saying with the writer's not there it provides a better chance for an actor like MBE to step in and say it should be in there and the writers can fight that. I mean, look at all the history mentions we got Monday and Tuesday with Steve and Kayla. That wasn't all the writers. I just think there is a better chance of getting it mentioned as it should but we'll see. |

:soapbox: I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. :soapbox: It's the same fucking bullshit they pulled by making Sami's whole reaction about being raped/sextorted about how it would affect Lumi :puke: and while I don't disagree that I suppose it's logical that a woman might have a reaction of insecurity about whether she is still desirable post-rape it's retarded that the writers at DOOL are so clueless that they don't understand the ranges of emotion that victims would go through beyond when they will have sex again and it also sickens me that these whole plots seem contrived simply to portray Lucas and Max as HEROES or KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOR simply for not dumping or still wanting to fuck rape victims after they are raped and as a way to pimp these couples as meant to be by having the woman victimized by another man. To me, that's as disgusting as the rape itself and it's one of the least romantic ways I can think of to bring a couple back together. How maddening that this retarded show decides that doing it once isn't good enough, but they've got to make us suffer through it TWICE except this time it's NEW AND IMPROVED... now with incest squickiness and murder. |
