What was the question and answer to today's trivia question? I just heard something about a maiden name because I wasn't paying full attention. |

AS much as I love Viv and Carly scenes and there snarkness.I don't know those scenes just come off as odd.Maybe its just me but shouldn't Carly be freaked out to see Viv at the hospital.I don't know it just seems like Kate has more issues with Vivian over stealing the embroyo than Carly does for Vivian burying her alive.I mean yeah buried alive has been mentioned a few times but I would love a real flashback of it too. |

One of my biggest issues with the show right now is that Vivian is being treated as more of an annoyance than a threat. Yes, Vivian is zany and fun... but she's also dangerous and psychotic, LoL. Why people aren't reacting to her more seriously, I'll never know. Comic sparring is fun, but I hope things take a more serious turn soon. |

I do agree that people should be afraid of Vivian. I'm enjoying her antics so far but do want to see more of her evil side. I do think Carly is afraid of Vivian. She just doesn't want Vivian to see it so she's hiding it well. |

I think they are doing that so that Carly, Bo, etc (and the viewers) don't see the extent of what she is going to do coming when she does put her plan in motion, which she did today. It's clear she is viewed as a threat. Bo and Carly figured out she was out for revenge and so did Hope, Victor, Stefano, etc. We've heard comments to suggest that so they take her seriously but I think they all figure when she does something, they will know it. I think it's a device to have the plan sneak up on viewers and on the characters. |

I think that's it too. I think she doesn't want Vivian to see that she is getting to her. |

I've been watching some old Carly clips, and am actually surprised at how much Carly did stand up for herself--particularly in the case of Victor and Vivian. Carly during the RKK Bo era was a much more tortured character and I guess I remember all the tears--but in all the scenes with Victor and Vivian, she doesn't back off into a corner. Even back in the day, CC and LS were impressive. I do agree that Carly does fear Vivian, but given what she has experienced in the past 16 years with Lawrence, I assume she has a thicker skin. |

Bo and Hope were painful to watch today, in a good way. The angst, the heartbreak, the desperation, the frustration of it all...this is good soapy stuff. Loved Melanie talking to Vivian about "giving back" and Viv having no clue what she was talking about! I agree with Phoenix that Vivian is playing her cards in such a way right now that she will take people off guard when she executes her plan--although Carly seemed to get her message loud and clear today in what was a very creepy scene. Carly is very well aware of what Vivian is capable of and knows she's not in town just to play house with Victor. Am I supposed to be cheering Rafe on as he plays super agent and illegally drugs Stefano? Because I'm not. And how does he get all this access in police departments? John used to do stuff like this and I was okay with it because he was former ISA, former Salem PD and kind of an honorary investigator, but Rafe is a disgraced FBI agent (loved Stefano's spin on it the other day) and current (?) construction worker. I don't care how much the show wants to turn Rafe into the new John Black--he isn't John Black, and I resent him being forced on me as this super hero/savior of Sami and Salem kind of guy. Love Melanie, but she was annoying in her scenes with Brady and Arianna today. I hate it when flawed characters who have done a lot of bad things turn all sanctimonious and self-righteous. Anna! Good to have her back. I'm sure she's working with someone on the Syd-napping, and my vote is with EJ. |

I was thinking something similar today and then realized that if Rafe is the next nuJohnBlack then why does Sami like him? |

Carly and Vivian have the best scenes, together and separately. They should've brought these two back years ago. Vivian's line about never thinking you'd actually meet a student nurse was priceless. I'm liking that she's starting to show her dangerous side, too. Seeing Carly's dead patient made me wonder if she was the one that the casting call was for, awhile back. I'm with those who think Melanie was being a bit sanctimonious today. With Stephanie finding her bitchy side, it makes me worry that these two are about to switch personalities to some extent. It was interesting to see a different side of Stefano today. I thought it was odd that Rafe asked him if he really loved Kate, and wondered if it wasn't a clue that Kate really was behind the kidnapping. Since he really has fallen for her, it'll hurt him even more to know she's the one who betrayed him. Maxine and Henderson also had good scenes. I always want to see more of these minor characters instead of a lot of the major people that are showcased everyday. I'm so over Bo and Hope's marital issues. Maybe if they hadn't had Hope do so many stupid things early on, I'd still care about her point of view and be invested, but I'm burned out on them as a couple, and on her feelings and insecurities. Good on the writers for putting them in a front burner story, but Hope was trashed too much early on to make room for Carly, and even though she's trying to be reasonable, the past is still hurting her.
