LOL. These previews suck. Continuation of same old, same old. Don't care about any of these "stories.". At least the mayor story will end soon. Damn, but the mayor story really stunk! The current real-life Republican primary is riveting. DOOL? - not so much.

I guess MarDar succeeded in "unsoaping the soap.". Soaps used to be the masters at keeping me tuned in every day - even the slow days. Because I CARED about the characters, and the stories were suspenseful and full of soapy/emotional beats. MarDar have killed my love for most of the characters. They re-hash boring conversations without consequences. And their plots are a string of contrived plot points that are empty and soulless.

:sleep:

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.

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.
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.
Eh. I believe MarDar had it in them to give me what I wanted with this storyline. They proved they know how to pull things from the past and use it in current stories with other stories. For whatever reason, they chose not to do that with this one. Eveyrone involved in this race has a past that could've been used. However, it wasn't and I'll never understand why.

I'm disappointed that there was no mention of Nicole's big story.

Overall this preview sounds incredibly lame and boring. It sounds unfortunately very similar to the fall and winter preview which means we don't have much to get excited about. :sleep:

Head writer Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas Jr. have planned a huge February Sweeps for Salem. "We drop a bombshell everyday," teases Thomas. "You literally can't miss a day because something big will happen."
Oh yes. It sounds like it with spoilers like this...
Quote:
 
"For Austin, what happens with Abigail comes out of Austin's story with Carrie, Sami and Rafe."
And this.
Quote:
 
"The election will happen and there will be a mayor elected in February."
And this.
Quote:
 
"Daniel is going to be coming back, so the question becomes, what is going to happen for Jennifer?
And this.
Quote:
 
"There are two people who are facing a search for love. They are going to have to be patient."
Snore.

Remember before the reset when everyone was so excited because the spoilers were so vague and we all thought it was because something big was coming? Everyone was all, "This is so refreshing! No spoilers! I can't wait to be surprised!" Turns out the spoilers were vague because there were no stories. You can't very well spoil a story if there isn't one.

Still, I'm hoping this February will be decent, as it was taped shortly after they started getting negative feedback about the "reset." If February sucks, it means the writers disregarded our feedback and I won't watch again until they either get their shit together or are fired.

Well that preview is a whole lot of nothing. Thanks for posting though.

Would rather Chad be Bo & Hope's COD baby, whom Stefano has kept hidden from them all these years, like he/Andre did with Chelsea. In my lala-land, he changed Chad's birth certificate so that the truth wouldn't be discovered (or something like that).

And I do think EJ's paternity or maternity will change, but I don't believe there will be a connection to John or Hope. I think the baby picture both Alice & Stefano had was to throw us all off. Perhaps Alice found out the truth when she helped Susan with EJ's illness as baby.

In no way, shape or form do I want John/Hope/Princess Gina revisited, but I doubt I'll get my wish. Knowing my luck, Jarlena & Bope's connection will be sub-sex Round 2.

And I'm sick to death of Carrie and Sami swapping partners. Watch out EJ!!

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
See, the Will shooting EJ twist didn't excite me, nor did the Sami being a mole twist. I've found it all pretty boring, really. Everything falls flat on this show.

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 hape had sex
remember who daddy stroyline with zack that stefano could been the father to hope chlid
Do you think their planning to ressurect Zach from the dead via Chad? I REALLY hope this is NOT the plan :shame:
Maybe Zack is really Chad... :shrug:

Some things appear to be quite intriguing - but of course, it all comes down to how they're portrayed on the screen. And I also believe that the writers are holding back with the spoilers. But things do seem to pick up some speed now.

Not much spoiling but I did like that Will and EJ are forming some kind of father son bond. I really like their interactions lately. It will be interesting to see how Will's perception of EJ will change because of it and how things will go down once Lucas comes back and ejami's secret is revealed.
As to the no spoiling itself, it's interesting. I don't think they have nothing to spoil as other articles and Richard from SID seem to indicate. We know Lucas is coming back (I'm guessing this month) and that has not been mentioned, Carrie and Rafe kissing wasn't mentioned either and we know that goes down in the first week. So I'm not going to assume there is nothing to spoil but I would like it if they would spoil more than they do. Not all like they did before, not nothing like now but something in the middle will do.

I think having an election story could have been good. But making EJ a candidate is totally implausable unless you treat it like its implausable. And these writers didn't. By the refusing to acknowledge how rediculous it is for a crime boss to be in the race and then making Abe stoop to lows to beat him... that's just stupid.

If they had to have EJ fight to beat the perception that he's evil then it could have been interesting. It would have been more interesting if it had been a good guy because then it would have split the community. How would the Hortons/Bradys act if it was John running against Abe? Who would they side with?

Just an example.

They give nothing away, again. Why release spoilers if they aren't going to write any?

So either EJ is likely Hope's son or Chad is Zack.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

That's what I think too though I think it would be incredibly sick and twisted of the PTB to do that- and so far with their track record NOTHING would surprise me. Thats why I will have my barf bucket handy.

Sami is overexposed and AS is overrated as an actress. If she's not going to be backburned then she needs to be sent off. She brings this show down with her yelling and screeching and constant stomping.
