When Sami was going on and on about what kind of woman would steal a baby away from its mother yadda yadda, did anyone else feel like reaching through the TV to hand Sami a mirror? Has someone reminded her about how she stole her baby sister Belle and tried to sell her on the black market?
Belle who? :D
I wonder of Shawn & Belle's boat can make it up to Switzerland for the holiday episode of 'Swiss Days'.

I'm excited I'm on Christmas break and can actually comment on the show the same day, not to mention watching it live!
So.....
1. OK, Crystal Chappel got to me. Real tears? I could possibly ship Bo and Carly, and I don't think I could ever say that about Bo and Billie. Maybe, just maybe, I could go for Bo with another woman. But, I'm not going to go that route, because my heart will get ripped out just like it did for Shimi, for Phelle, and for Ejole.
2. So, OK, let me get this straight....they sold only one pair of those boots in Salem. However, the kidnapping took place in Cleveland. Is it POSSIBLE Anna, being gone for several months, bought them in another town? OK, I hate to bash Rafe, but in this case, I'm gonna bash Rafe. It looks like, from the previews
Spoiler: click to toggle
is accused of the misdeed. If I watched the previews correctly. (I'm not sure why I spoilered this, but I don't want Kenny after me!!)
3. With the whole Mia/Chad/Will scene, why did I feel like I was watching an old episode of The Brady Bunch? Didn't this SAME thing happen to Marcia?
4. Dang, I think I could love Brady and Nicole.
5. Arianna, Gabby, and tamales....meh
6. I love Anna and Sydney together. Sydney had the greatest little smiles today! Dang, that Sydney has chemistry with everyone.
?? How is that bashing Rafe? Rafe is only reporting what the FBI said to him... They could sure call the FBI to confirm it. And it is not out of the realm of possibility Kate hates Sami, EJ dumped Kate for Sami, Kate try to kill Sami at her and EJ's farce of a marriage, not to mention Kate is acting awfully weird as the doting wife. She could surely be in cahoots with Anna.

Now that I've said that I will say this, if EJ is involved he is very convincing as the victim. JS and LH ripped up that scene today. They were so good. And that crying EJ did, who does he ever show that vulnerabilty too? And it seemed like touching her in anger made him uncomfortable, that is a first. First the arms, then he moved quickly to her hand and let go quick, like he couldn't touch her in anger. And Brady can you say third wheel? The way she cried with him too.

Sami was great, very realistic and Rafe with that giraffe... beautiful. I actually liked Tad too.

Possibly because Salem isn't the only place to shop in the United States, especially since the baby was kidnapped in Cleveland? True, they were a limited pair of boots, but still............to be thorough, if they were limited, I'd think they'd check out EVERY possibility. And I'd think Rafe would mention that.

Yes, if he's lying he needs to take up acting to supplement his income, because that was an incredible performance. Carly and Bo are great. IDK if it's because they're new, but I like them better than the bope stuff we've gotten the past couple of years. The tension they have makes it more fun to watch.

What does Nicole have over Brady and Chloe that makes them keep going back to her? It's sort of sad. Loved seeing the Tony pic, and the Anna/Syd scenes. I'm really looking forward to knowing what her scheme is, which is big since a couple of weeks ago, I was burnt out on this saga. Hope it's good.

i was watching tonight some of the old stuff when, Billie, Bo, and Hope were in the triangle before they found Chelsie. You should watch. So much of it is just the same. Bo gets called every time anything happens. You notice they admit to Hope tomorrow that Bo was called by Carly when she found the corpse. Today she says she loves him. It is the same triangle all over again. The only difference it that Bo and Hope were not apparantly all ready having problems when Billie came to town. How can Carly know she is falling in love again unless she never fell out of love and what happened to not wanting to be a part of their break-up. I am sorry whether it be right or wrong she is not helping it and neither is Bo by keeping her at his house. What are they all thinking about? Certainly not the little girl. :shame: :shame:

I thought the reason Carly called Bo over the corpse was because Bo knows how twisted Vivian can be and was around when Vivian killed Carlys patients and buried her alive.

I had to roll my eyes at Sami asking who could steal a baby from its family. Um, you could bitch! Remember when you stole your baby sister and tried to sell her on the black market? I really wish someone would throw that in Sami's face. I'm surprised Stefano hasn't already considering that he was a major player in that storyline years ago and he seems to be the only one willing to put Sami in her place.

I hate that Arianna is living above the pub. It's so stupid! That scene today when Brady left and then, seconds later, EJ knocked on the door. Brady didn't see him when he left the bedroom? God, Arianna looks like such a loser, living in a bedroom.

I was a little disappointed to hear Anna talking about Tony as if he were gone. I was really hoping he was alive and would be part of this conspiracy. Oh well...

God, I thought Nicole and Chloe's friendship was finally over. Why does Chloe keep going back to her?

The Bo and Carly scenes were pretty good. I don't think they're rushing it at all. Carly has spent the last two months, closely, with a man she used to be in love with. Of course those old feelings are going to return. I'm surprised she was so honest with him and told him so easily, but I'd rather it be this way than her professing her love to herself thousands of times or someone else besides Bo. I don't want to see them sleep together anytime soon though. That would be rushing it if they jumped into bed after this revelation. Bo still has a marriage that may have a chance, even though he doesn't think it does.

I didn't see any chemistry between T and Mia today. Mia actually made me not like T, and he's usually the only member of the teen group that I can enjoy. Taylor Spreitler just sucks the life out of everything. If Dylan Patton had to go, why hasn't she gotten her walking papers yet? She's been giving heavy material and she proved that she sucks. Lets move onto the next actress in the role please.

Poor Gabi. She's got a bad case of the Mimi flu. When Chad asked her to tag along with him and Mia, I thought right back to when Shawn and Belle convinced Mimi to come to the dance with them. Pathetic much? Hopefully, Chad blows off Mia and then exclusively takes Gabi to the dance.

Actually Rafe did say that... he said there was a limited amount sold and only one pair sold to someone in Salem to someone you both know. And boy isn't that a big coincidence, guess who is requestioned next week.... PS. By the end of the week Rafe hears something.

The more I see of Bo and Carly the more I love them. :wub: They are both stubborn, intense people and when they get together its explosive. :wow: I didn't know Bo used to call Carly "princess." (does he have nicknames for all the women he's been involved with? :shrug: ) Anyways I melted when he did. :$ I love their bantering arguments. I teared up when Carly admitted she's falling for Bo again and can't help but be happy Bope's marriage is falling apart. I just love Barly. :P

EJ's scenes with Arianna/Brady were good.

I'm tired of Mia's drama. I'm getting a holier-than-thou vibe from her that I don't like. She is not all that.

Sydney and Anna make an interesting duo. I'm sick of Sami's whining and crying but I love seeing Anna with Syd.

Chloe needs to wise up about Nicole. Why does she keep going to bat for her?

I am just loving the show lately.

I was so happy about Anna's scenes today very a few reasons. Tony is dead let the man rest in peace. Thank you, oh might soap gods, for avoiding a resurrection. The story packs far more punch with Anna has a widow. This was such a great way to bring this story arc full circle. I loved her little monologue explaining her motivation - getting Sydney away from the Dimeras like Tony never could. Someone did their homework. I have to say, though, why would neither Sami nor EJ even consider Anna? Tony didn't die that long ago and he was suspicious of Nicole around the time he died. As brilliant a twist as it was, its kind of obvious, lol.

Get Chad away from Mia and Will. He's too pretty and charismatic for those bores.

I loved how genuine Bo and Carly have been lately and this scene shows it, too. I am no longer a 'shipper' as it were, but I could care less at this point of Bo and Hope's marriage is repaired. Maybe now Hope can become a wealthy, bitchy character. Though, between Anna, Kate, and Vivian, the show does already have its hands full...

Now, this is the James Scott we needed at the Grace reveal. Raw, genuine, and brilliant. His fear and despair seeps right through the screen and slaps you in the face. I loved how he went after Arianna the way he did and then when it was proven to be unjust, he was apologetic and falling apart. He's just so desperate to have his child home. I just can't get over how this mirrors when Daphne hid Tony from Stefano for his childhood - EJ now compared to how Stefano must have felt then.

Keith!

You need to post more often! I always enjoy reading your posts.

Glad your enjoying the show. You made some great points. I'm glad we don't get a Tony resurrection either and agree about the comparisons to what Daphne did.

I really do think Bo and Hope need a break. It's good for both characters and the Bo/Carly pairing is such a goldmine the show would be stupid not to at least commit to it for a little while, as long as they don't rush it. The pace they are at now is great because it feels like they are building them to be a viable couple instead of just some stop on the way to yet another Bo and Hope reunion. CC and PR showed today how great this pairing can be and I really hope Days gives it a fair chance.

One scene encompasses the "it's exactly the same"? I don't think so. But no point to debating it here or anywhere.
For those who want Bo and Hope, the view seems to be 'it's Bo and Billie" all over.
For those that want Bo and Carly, it's not even close, and the only similarity is that it's a triangle and Hope is unreasonable and unfair and presumes the worst of Bo no matter what.

OMG I screamed at my tv last night when Sami said what kind of evil person could take a baby away from her family. Seriously? Are we pretending now that Sami's entire history never happened? I guess so. Of course, I was glaring at the tv, particularly Sami and Rafe, the entire time I was watching because I was more than a little pissed about the Bryan news, but still ... it was fucking stupid and pissed me off.

The Carly and Bo, and Anna and Syd scenes were the only really good parts of the show. Oh, and the bit at the end with Bricole :wub: The rest had me struggling to stay awake or not throw something at the screen.

I think that's it. Sami's babynapping history is in the attic along with Philip's fake leg.

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

I watched the show this morning as I was getting ready for the day...and I'll be damned if I can remember much of anything that happened.

I do remember thinking Syd is as adorable as ever. Hands down - my favorite character on the show these days.

I thought JS did a great job conveying his heartbreak and concern over Sydney after he calmed down from threatening Arianna and Brady and accusing them of being in cahoots on it. A week or two ago I was pretty convinced that EJ was involved with the 2nd Sydnapping...now I'm not so sure. Kudos to DAYS for keeping me guessing on this.

TS is on another downward spiral. Her acting choices on this supposed predicament Mia has gotten herself in to are just gawd awful. Could she look any more bored or unconcerned? If they are trying to make her Belle to Will's Shawn they are seriously missing the mark. It looks to me like the recast the wrong actor in that pairing. :shame:

Carly and Bo have me intrigued - but I can't help it, I'll always think of Bope as the supercouple. I have a hard time believing that Bo was so determined to win Hope back a couple of years ago that he vehemently pursued her even though they thought she was carrying Patrick's baby...and now he's telling Carly that he thinks it's over for them because they can't have a discussion without it turning in to an argument. WTF? How did we go from his undying devotion of a couple of years ago to this? Carly must be a much better lay than Billie ever was. :ermm:

Great Bo/Carly scene and it's CC's best scene since returning IMO. I love that Bo calls her "princess" and it's just such a good scene that explains how Carly has been feeling. I also love using the old Santeen/J&M music from last year for them. It fits. Love just doesn't die and her having to be in close proximity with him and having to need his help reawakened those feelings they both had. They were both vulnerable and it didn't happen over night. The show has built up to this quite well and she is still resisting and so is he. It's classic soap stuff.
Oh my gosh I am sooo stoked. I have been waiting for the "Princess" I knew sooner or later he'd call her that. And I love how it was used so effortlessly. Awesome!!!
