I may be slow to grasp this whole thing, but I still cant see how EJ could possibly be Hope's son. Hope was in Salem and onscreen when he was born. It was a couple years later, after his birth, the brain chip thing got activated and she was Gina again. Not to mention, during the first Princess Gina storyline she conceived Zack. No way she got knocked up twice at the same time with two different babies... right(?)

WHO CARES WHAT HAPPENS TO JENNIFER WHAT WE ALL WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT HAPPENS TO JACK. :frustration Maybe one of their dumbass bomshells will be that Matthew Ashford will be on 2 times every other week instead of 1 time every week. :sarcasm: :

omg these sweeps should be called "watch how low days tanks in the ratings this month" i would honestly rather watch Tom Langons writing than this sheeet...heck even Denas was more interesting now...this is so stupid...where is the mystery and the romance we were promised and the show focusing on 15 characters not 30...this show is stupid now and Ken better fire these writers fork out some more cash and stop taping 10 months in advance..heck id write thise show for free just to do it write.

"We drop a bombshell everyday," teases Thomas. "You literally can't miss a day because something big will happen."
:fp2: GET OUT, Darrel! Didn't you & Marlene say the same thing would happen following the magnificent reset ("cliffhangers") :eyeroll:
I believe their exact words were, "In every episode, there will be a 'WOW' moment, and every week, there will be an 'OH MY GOD'."

To be fair, it is the truth. Every episode, I think to myself, "WOW, just when you think things on this show can't get any more boring..." and then I tune in the next week and say, "OH MY GOD, they just did."

I think Hope is Stefano's daughter.
Susan Hays was pissed about something in her last interview.
Changing Hope's paternity would make her angry.
A big yuck and no to John and Hope having a bastard love child.
The two Of them having a child together is a big turn off!
I won't be watching if that happens!

I think the reason I care so little about this "Alice's secrets" storyline is because I know it will all be re-written with the next set of writers anyway. Nothing on this show is permanent.

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.
I don't want them getting anything together unless it's the stuff from their desks on their way out the door. I don't think their worse writers than Higley, but I despise them a lot more.

I feel like I could have written these previews and I know nothing about what's going to happen in February; it doesn't sound like Marlene does either. It really is rather bizarre that nobody there seems to know how to drop just enough information to intrigue the audience. Granted, this is a problem with the movies too--either trailers are just random cuts or they give away the whole movie and neither choice works for me.

The thing is, there are some things I'm interested in, so I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope they play out decently, if not as well as I'd like them to. Will's story and its players are pretty much keeping the show afloat at this point, but I'm also moderately interested in Carrie and Rafe and Austin and Abigail (not shipping Abby/Austin, mind you, just curious about where they're going with it). My interest in Ian is low since I can't stand Kate and Madison bores me so whatever, but maybe he'll shake things up. I'm probably more optimistic than I should be, but anything after Dena is an improvement. I can't see the writing ever being nearly as terrible as Dena's was. Her shit actively repulsed me from 2010 on.

God forbid, but Sami got pregnant with two babies by two different fathers at the same time (2007 anyone??).

However, when Zack was born, I clearly remember only one baby coming out of Hope.

And yes, when EJ was born, I think Hope was either running around in a jungle in South America or Salem with Franco. Unless Stefano did the whole Rex&Cassie thing and stole one of Hope's eggs when he had her be Princess Gina the first time.

However, I don't believe Hope will be EJ's Momma. Unless she had him when she was eight, LOL. Now that we know there are two secrets in the box, I reckon the one Alice had about Stefano will most likely be that he's not EJ's papa. Lord knows what the one is that Stefano had about the Hortons. We'll probably all be led on some merry song, dance and chase and won't find out the actual, real truth until Summer 2014.

After all the backlash they received over the Jawn/Gina crap, WHY would Corday give his approval for a rehash of that garbage?

Nothing about these previews makes me want to watch. Nothing. They're underwhelming, yes, totally. But, they give away just enough to let me know that these story lines we're watching are all going to end the way I don't want them to.

I had high hopes. Especially with the DH's back. But everything happening is just so "blah." Today for example: The scenes with John and Brady today were sooo laughably bad. Booorrrinnnng. I enjoyed the therapy session with the veterans but not really because of anything Dee was given for Marlena, but because of Matt/Jack. But then, he's hardly ever on to hold my interest in his so-called "story." Where ARE the stories for these people? Even the Sami "affair" story which, at first, I was interested in because I thought she would FINALLY get her comeuppance, has totally and completely fallen flat. Don't TELL me that she's feeling guilt that she's become her mother. I want to SEE it on my screen. I haven't. And WHY do they have to lessen the impact of what she's done by having Carrie and Rafe mess around before it's revealed?!! UGH!! And it's the same with ALL the stories. Maggie and Victor are just bad. Jennifer is terrible. Abby and Austin? Come on. I could go on and on but it just makes me...tired.

Well over half of the characters on this show have such a RICH history to draw from that the stories could practically write themselves. Blah!

This whole show is shit. Again. Still. And for the first time ever, I'm not sure I even care or WANT to care.


I swear, if they give John and Hope a kid together, I am done.


:shame: :sleep:

Sami/Rafe/Carrie/Austin-Ok I admit I'm interested in seeing Sami destroyed (if she really is) & what she's going to do about it.

Austin/Abigail: I'm not looking forward to Caustin breaking up, but that would have to happen for me to be ok with him & Abby
hooking up. Please don't make Austin a cheater!!!!

Will/Sami/EJ: Will's story is the one I'm most interested in & I can't wait to see Lucas!

EJ/Nicole/Abe/Lexie: Glad this SL is ending & I hope EJ wins!

Jack/Jennifer/Daniel: I couldn't care less about Dr. Tan. Or Jennifer for that matter. Keep this gross 2some FAR away from Jack.

Brady/Madison/Ian: :sleep: Don't wanna see a Bradison marriage or engagement. It's way too soon & I'm not totally feeling them anyway.
I hope this Ian guy is interesting.

Melanie/Chad: The only times I want to see these 2 names is if they are going to be leaving the show or are going to get gutted
in the moonlight with a wooden spoon. UGH

John/Marlena/Bo/Hope/Stefano: Oh for pete's sake! Bope & Jarlena are just now realizing they can't have normal lives with
Stefano around? Really writers? I think both couples figured that out decades ago! :eyeroll:

John/Marlena/Bo/Hope/Stefano: "For these two couples we are going to see how the power of love can be stronger than the power of Stefano DiMera," hints McPherson. "This next chapter is taking them to a realization that they are never going to live a normal life as long as Stefano is around." Adds Thomas, "There will be unexpected connections involving Alice's secrets."
I like this spoiler! Sounds interesting! :D Finally something to get me excited about watching the show again as I've been bored this entire month. :sleep: I like all John/Marlena/Bo/Hope scenes together, so I'm looking forward to this storyline. Hopefully there will now be a little more action with this Alice/Stefano secret since it finally seems like we're getting somewhere with this story.

There better be some "Jack teaching" scenes in the works for Feb. Seeing him try to relate to a audience of college students w/ the emotional struggles he's going though has potential for a tv show all on its own. I just hope his entire existence doesn't continue to be glossed over.

I'm thinking John and Hope got married as the Pawn and Princess Gina. I'm hoping they don't have a love child.

Which would immediately nullify it because they were both brainwashed/not themselves.

Note to promo department and KC:

Don't let Marlene and Darrell do anymore interviews. They have no idea how to give an interview or how to tease the audience with sweeps secrets. Try letting Greg Meng give the next one. Maybe he can spark some interest for the audience. He can't be any worse.

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.


It's outright character assassination of Abe all for the overly pointless & useless EJ, who will never pay for anything he does. :puke:

I agree though, the fact that EJ is even in the running makes the whole thing a joke.
