I still have a problem with the election taking place in February, but whatever.
Why? The story started last week in September and except few fights between Nicol and Abe/jen nothing happened. And Jen and Abe are the most boring and bland duo ever. I´m all for giving Abe more story but the elections should focus on him and Lexie and their conflict with the DiMeras, not trying to recap "hot" topics from cable news.

I never even thought of Chad being John and Hope's son. That would be so much better!
It makes a lot of sense since the bank account goes back about twenty years, about the same age as Chad’s.

I don't mind the vaguness of these stories at all. It's called a preview. For years, we all complained about the stories being spoiled in the previews and asked ourselves, "Why watch?" MarDar are doing exactly what they're supposed to do in these preview interviews. I'm intrigued.
I agree with you about the previews to a point, but for vague previews to work for me I need to trust the writers. I don't trust them, so I need a more involved sales pitch to prove that things won't suck.

The only reaction I really have is to the Jennifer stuff, because I think they've missed the point. All I want to see is Jack, his PTSD, and his relationship with Abby. Jennifer can disappear, I don't think anything would be lost.

Otherwise it seems like it could easily be more of the same, with the word "explosive" thrown in for good measure.

Thanks Vicky. I REALLY don't want to know how J&M and Bope are going to be connected. Like, REALLY don't.
Has anyone ever considered the possibility that Stefano might be Hope's father?

On to the rest of the previews:

WTF, I hate to say it but can we get Mr. Corday spill the entire story in previews back? I'm kidding, really I am, I think I enjoy it more when I don't know what is going to happen, like the WIll shooting Ej twist, or the Sami being a mole twist, but clearly we MUST get a bit more in at least the sweeps previews.

It does appear that maybe Lucas gets the call to come home because EJ is getting way too close to him and he's getting way too close to EJ. Oh and isn't Lucas showing up the last week of sweeps? Why not hint at his return, like using the word 'yet' at the end of the 'real father' statement or something.

It appears that nothing is stopping Cafe, but I'm not sure Abby and Austin will amount to anything but an obsessive crush by Abby. Still think that Austin will be a victim of the rumored NuSSK storyline.

Nothing on the election? Seriously, at least tell us something beside the fact that someone will be mayor, we sort of get that already.

If I cared about Madison, I could give a crap about Ian, only thing holding my interest is that he's somehow connected to Kate.

I'm glad that Jack is distancing himself....GOOD!


stefano and hope had sex
remember who daddy stroyline with zack that stefano could been the father to hope chlid
Is that the secret maybe? That Zach was the product of Hope and Stefano? So now that he's dead it's all good? Why wouldn't Alice tell Hope before she died? I'm not liking how this is tarnishing Alice, no matter what the secret is. I could buy Alice protecting a child FROM a Dimera, if the Dimera was the father....but not keeping quiet to a HORTON about a Dimera child that should have been raised a Horton.

Because the actual election race idea has potential if the show would just take advantage of it. They could have easily prolonged this storyline until November by having each side taking shots at the other. Serious shots, not the kind of shots we've been getting, like stealing jobs plans and luncheons or whatever. If they had EJ and Abe's sides going in for the kill, on a personal basis, with each other, it could have went on for months and months, finally concluding in November. The way MarDar chose to write the story limited it from going that far. So the idea that it could have went until November is what pissed me off. If MarDar continued to write the story the way they've been writing it, then no, it wouldn't have lasted. There's a difference.

So, if Chad is the child of Jope, this will be the THIRD time his paternity has changed! I'm sorry, that's a little much. Wasn't Mar Dar the ones who said they WEREN'T going to do this? :toetap:

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

I don't see it being Chad mostly because no one knew Chad had any link to Stefano until Madeline's documents were found. How would he have ended up with Madeline and the DA if he was really Hope(Gina) and John's kid?

It seems clear to me if they go down this path it will be EJ - hence the stuff with the baby picture and the phone call to Susan.

I don't who the possible kid is, because I'm tired of them changing shit in John's past and I don't want him to have another kid with some freakshow from when Stefano controlled him. Seriously. There is a big, fat story almost written FOR them during the time Marlena was kidnapped, that would give J&M a child together, which you know, would be kind of nice for us J&M fans who stuck with the show through punch after punch.

No matter what you think, I DO love you.

As for the rest of the garbage...

Quote:
 
Head writer Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas Jr. have planned a huge Feb. Sweeps for Salem. "We drop a bombshell everyday," teases Thomas. "You literally can't miss a day because big will happen."


I've missed about a weeks worth and from the sounds of things, I haven't missed a damn thing. And why should I care about a couple of weeks of exciting show when I know it'll be back to boresville when sweeps are over?

Quote:
 
Sami/Rafe/Carrie/Austin "It's going to be explosive emotionally for everybody involved," notes Thomas. "It's at the point where the tension has to go somewhere. Sami has been carrying so much presure from the secret about Ej." McPherson adds, "On so many levels, (what happens this month) is just going to distroy Sami, who has already been dealing with the guilt of knowing that she has done the things she hated her mother for."


They have so NOT built up any of this. I didn't realize Sami was still in guilt mode...it's laughable to think they've built up any kind of real emotional fall out from the deadbabybeastsex. It's going to be revealed and it's going to fall flat because if the characters don't seem to give a shit about what went on, why should the audience?

Quote:
 
Austin/Abigail: "For Austin,what happens with Abigail comes out of Austin's story with Carrie, Sami and Rafe."


So he jumps Abigail's bones because Rafe jumps Carrie's after finding out that Sami jumped EJ? Oooh scandalicious...not.

Quote:
 
Will/Sami/Ej: "Will really starts to enjoy the benefits of not always playing by the rules," previews McPherson. "In other areas of Will's life, he doesn't have the power right now because he is struggling with his sexuality and he's struggling with so many other things. Here is an area where he actually has a little power. Ej is there for Will in a way that his Mom isn't and that his real father can't be because he's not in Salem."


That's 3 straight spoilers that's included Sami...more must MISS tv for me. How is this even a spoiler?

Quote:
 
Ej/Nicole/Abe/Lexie: "The election will happen and there will be a mayor elected in February," shares McPherson.


:sleep:

Quote:
 
Jack/Jennifer/Daniel: "Daniel is going to be coming back and Jennifer doesn't really know where she stands with him. Jack has kind of stepped back. So the question becomes, 'What is going to happen for Jennifer?' "


So more of the same....

Quote:
 
Brady/Madison/Ian: "Ian's arrival will have a huge impact on Brady and Madison as they move to a whole new level in their relationship," asserts McPherson. "Ian also has connections to other people in town that you might not expect."


What other level could Bradison be going into? And at this point I don't really care who Ian is connected to and how he's connected w/Madison. I was excited for her character but since coming on Madison has been a bust.

Quote:
 
Melanie/Chad: "There are two people who are facing a search for love and finding a time when the relationship is right," says Thomas. "It's not going to be easy for them. They are going to have to be patient."


A search for love in between bed partners? Ooh romantic. Why should I care about Chad/Melanie?

There is a resemblance there too. It's not like the show bothers much with Chad being a Dimera anyway. They could use Chad being revealed as Stefano's son to amp things up between John and Stefano again too. Loads of potential there.
and they stopped the Abby and Chad relationship all of a sudden, without them sleeping together...I think it was done for a reason.

Something needs to happen on this show and storylines need to move so I really hope they are keeping alot under wraps.

I like the sounds of the Will stuff.

I guess they feel the need to change EJ's paternity/(maternity) if Joe M is really leaving the show. Ugh. I agree Stefano hasn't been written well for awhile now, but I don't even want to think about no longer seeing him on the show. I heart Papa D too much.

Atleast the mayor's race comes to an end. That's a bonus.

I want to see Jack doing his own thing without Jennifer....for now.

Lastly, I really can't watch Austin and Abigail hit the sheets. I really just can't.

So do I. However, I’m almost to the point of thinking that Stefano set all this up to mess with John/Marlena and Bo/Hope and nothing more.

They should give us something to get excited over and these previews give us nothing new. I've read MarDars previews before and most of their bombshells have turned into duds, so I'm not optimistic Feb sweeps is going to be all that fantastic.

I think it's a stretch to say Sami feels guilty knowing she's done what she hated her mother for. Marlena was torn in an epic romantic affair while Sami had a nasty screw on the couch. No comparison. Lets keep it real MarDar.

So Rafe and Carrie sleep together forcing Austin to consider boinking his student? Wow, can't wait for that all that exciting drama. :puke: They all three make my skin crawl already. Instead of just having Chloe as the town sleaze now we have three to take her place. So much for adventure, intrigue and rooting couples.

Why no mention of stories for Nicole or Jack? These are characters I want to know in what direction they are heading.

They can't write for the villains they have so why should this guy Ian be anything to shake in my boots over? Ej is a greasy snake oil salesman toying with a teenager while Victor enjoys muffins and Stefano checks his diabetes. Maybe instead of dumping Days classic baddies they could actually make them menacing again?

God knows where they are heading with Bope and Jarlena, but "unexpected connections" does not bring me to the edge of my seat. I'm having egg baby Déjà vu

Lucas should have at least had a mention. It's a big deal he's returning.

I want to be optimistic but I just haven't see MarDar consistently deliver or hold true to their promises.

If there is a real-parentage to be revealed, I doubt Stefano will be the father. No way would Stefano ever allow his child to be raised outside of his family. My guess is it's probably a Hope/John offspring. I don't think it will be an exisiting character, more likely someone new, allowing John & Hope to go on a search for their child - which will cause conflict in their marriages.

You mean if the story was written different and by different writers? Yeah, then I agree it could be interesting. And before the reset I really believed it will be one of the big umbrella stories. But as all reset stories it went nowhere so I´m happy it´s over. Hopefully, EJ as new Salem mayor will not end the same.
