What. The. Fuck? ANNA???????????? Oh My GAWD!!! I really don't get it though .. unless Tony left her some letter or something letting her in on the baby switch details ... but why would she take Syd now? To pit EJ against Stefano? I don't know, I don't see it at all ... it doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure if I like this. I mean, I am happy to see Anna back, but I don't know about it being in this way ...
It makes perfect sense. Anna blamed Stefano for Tony's death. So she could be doing this to punish Stefano and EJ for the way they treated Tony before he died. Stefano did tell Anna that Philip walked free because of Nicole's "lies". So Anna knew that Nicole was also involved in Tony's death.

Maybe you should watch how this all plays out on-screen before saying it doesn't make any sense.
And maybe you should let people express their own opinions without being so rude to them.
When did I not let people express their own opinions? I wasn't rude so don't start something.

I find it interesting that more kudos are being offered to the fact that Days has kept this 'twist' under wraps than to the fact that Anna's reintroduction is a logical surprise to the story. I love LH and am glad to have her back but the fact that she randomly shows up in a bus station in Cleveland to knock Nicole over the head and take the child because she's mad at Stefano isn't good storytelling for me. Certainly I'll look forward to whatever dumb reason they've contrived in order for Anna to instantly be involved, but I'm confident I won't feel it's a brilliant twist.

It just feels like another stunt for ratings conveniently planned just after the CC shine wears off.

jmo.
How do you know it's not good storytelling when we haven't seen it play out yet? I am sure everything will be explained. For all we know Anna could have been spying on Nicole in Salem. And when Nicole left for Cleveland she followed her.

I disagree about stunt for ratings. If that was true they wouldn't have kept everything so hush hush. They would have hyped this up.

This is how you write a good long-term storyline. Many chapters, twists that make sense and not casting stunts or stunt events for sweeps and all that bullshit.

It hasn't played out yet, though. All of that could be explained. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm not going to be pissed about it yet. I won't lie, though...I'm pretty darn impressed that they managed to keep this quiet as long as they did.

I wish they would do this more often. To bad they did this article, it would have been more fun to find out while watching the episodes like the good old days. But even if they hadn't done this article that stupid canadian site would have posted about it the day before. TPTB should not let Days air one day earlier like that.

Yeah, it seems like SOD got their dates off by a week. I can see SOD revealing this next Thursday as it would come it in the Prevuze day ahead summary. I wonder if this will start another Days blackout with SOD. I hope not because Days needs all the publicity it can get.

It's too early to know if it's logical. We had a spoiler about a woman whose story was supposed to be revealed through flashbacks that would shock Salem. That could be Anna, and all the pieces might fall into place. Either way, I'm just so glad this story isn't about Rafe, that there's nowhere to go but up, for me.

Also, I thought the kidnapper is revealed next Friday. SOD has it listed as this Friday. Hmm...
Maybe SOD screwed up and leaked this earlier than they were supposed to.
If that is the case, Days won't be happy. That Twitter pic already probably has them wanting everyone off Twitter LOL.

Days has a good relationship with SOD and always spills on twists and casting decisions to them so I would bet since Digest is claiming the exclusive here, that Days let them print this. The fact that it's coming out now makes me think we learn Anna is the kidnapper Friday. They probably figured Canadians find out tomorrow and it will be posted on all the day ahead sites so they may as well break the news. They kept it a secret right up until the end.
Well, I was personally hoping they'd keep it quiet for longer.

And, yes the Canadians with the day aheads would probably SPILL all the details of the twist.

BUT Phoenix, I'm not sure if you were watching Passions (or watched at all), when it was revealled that Charlie was actually Alistair. In the Canadian version (the day ahead), it showed Charlie going to a different direction, and the show ended - with showing what will happen next time on Passions with NO mention of Charlie being Alistair. I watched the episode again on NBC the following day, and it showed Charlie boarding a plane, and all of a sudden a mechanical trademark laughter of Alistair's asking his latest assistant for a drink, and the mask in his hand.

I would have loved for Days to keep it under wraps longer, and not include it with the Day Ahead episode so it's a shock when it does finally air on NBC. JMO though.

That would've been great. The GA is probably going to be shocked anyway, since most fans probably don't go to Prevuze or spoiler boards, or always get the magazines.

I went and read it, and I'm not sure. Someone else does a day ahead that will post later today, so I'll read hers. I have a hard time following Prevuze.

I guess I don't find the story particularly compelling when we learn about it primarily through flashbacks or retconned dialogue. I'd prefer that we had an inkling of numerous suspects that had been boiling long term. If indeed Anna kidnapped Sydney to get back at Stefano it falls flat for me. There are plenty of ways for her to get back at him, this one just seems contrived to me.

Prevuze makes it sound like Stefano and the "mystery woman" are working together in tomorrow's episode.

Color me confused.

Here's my take on the "does it make sense" question- I'm willing to assume that if they've gone to such lengths to keep this part of Sami's baby bullshit a secret, they'll have put equal energy into crafting a story that's logical. Or at least as logical as I expect from a soap.

So in this rare instance...I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll come up with something that doesn't suck. Which I admit is kinda weird, since I've found this whole storyline obnoxiously long and irritating, and I have this creeping fear that we'll have to see Luis take down Anna. I seriously hope Sami never gets this kid back.

As for that Prevuze thing...maybe Anna's playing him. Or maybe the writers went overboard with a red herring again, like they did with the Mia/Carly stuff.

We are not trying to "start anything" with you at all. Your responses to people have been unnecessarily rude more then usual lately. When making a post just take a moment and think if you'd want the same thing posted as a response back to you.

I'm wondering if it's the same woman. At first they refer to her as a female voice, and then it's "The Mystery Woman." Usually they stick with one nickname. I'm still convincing myself to wait and let it play out, but it's going to be a much harder sell if Anna is working with Stefano again.

From your name and picture of Santo I thought you liked when a storyline was explained through flashbacks?

Um... you're just as guilty as the rest of us for judging things before they play out based on spoilers.

The whole point of a "preview" is to get us excited and talking about the show so people will tune in. Of course we're going to discuss the spoilers and whether or not they sound logical or exciting. That's what this board is for.

Here's a thought: The person working with Anna is Nicole herself with help from Fay. Anna hates Steffy, why would she help him? I can also see EJ being behind this.

VERY curious to see this all play out!!

It would be nice to get ED away from Y&R. I feel like she's being wasted yet again. She had a nice run of material for awhile but the character is a mess and now she does nothing.

Gotta love how late this news broke. It reminds me of so many times in the past when a big Days story broke and we were all up to the early morning hours posting about it. Posters used to come in the morning and see a thread of like 50 pages :laugh: .
Yeah but those 50-page threads were usually when someone huge (like Drake and Deidre) got fired... not a return or some cool twist in a story on the show. :lol:
Oh, I know. Just the fact that this news broke when it did reminded me of those times LOL. It's been awhile since we had good Days shocker like this.
