Isn't that related to him confessing to nicole about the blackmail regarding the 2007 EJill shooting?

Saw the look on Stefano's face when he look off to the side in the last scene with Bo and Hope like something caught his eyes or something. Who was he looking at and why did he look so nervous all of a sudden? Did anyone else notice that or was it just us????

Seems like there will be no more previews if this is accurate:

They've been asking about those previews for months in the contemporaryconsumer surveys. I'm glad they're ditching them. More often than not, the preview turns me off. lol

I remember the day they started airing those dumb previews. Other then seeing who will be on the next day, I've never really understood the point in doing it. (same reason why I try to avoid reading spoilers on this board until the day of the show. I skim the posts for character names but that's all. I prefer the maintain the element of surprise in my life:)

Isn't it clever how Sami is conveniently away in Chicago therefore allowing us to watch puppets Rafe and Carrie jump through another hoop on MarDars checklist?

1. oogly-googly eyes - check
2. unnecessary hugging - check
3. soft porn stripping with appropriate musical accompaniment - check
4. in your arms costume character dress-up dancing - check

Yet to come:

5. Falling into each other kiss - almost checked
6. sexual healing - hello February sweeps!
7. surprise pregnancy - shocking right?!!

Forced and contrived? Nah, it's an epic love-story in the making! Forget they are married and have had swift personality changes, this is some beautiful shit. The tear in my eye is because I can plainly see how hard MarDar worked to make the Carrie/Rafe story stand on it's own and not just be a prop for Sami's-Not-So-Hard-Fall story at all :huh:

MarDar my compliments on displaying your true talent.
This post deserves an award!

SO damn true.....textbook contrived...in fact I dare someone to find SOMETHING that is MORE contrived than CAFE on DAYS.

This is a TRUE display of just how bad MarDar's inexperience is affecting this show IMO...they are BEYOND horrible HW's!
Exactly!
There is nothing more contrived, nor have I seen anything more contrived, since I have been watching Days. The Cafe scenes were truly pathetic, and I felt sorry for the actors that had to wear those idiotic costumes and participate in such stupid scenes. Mardar need to go. They are ruining characters, not to mention the entire show.

After today, I'm guessing the DiMera secret is that John is not a DiMera. The Horton secret is that Hope has a child out there somewhere. This child could be John's, based on the February sweeps previews. I do hope it's not EJ though. I don't want his paternity changed at all.

As much as Jennifer stuck out like a sore thumb at the DiMera mansion, I'm glad they wrote the little scene with her and Will. It would have been weird if aunt and nephew didn't interact while in the same room.

Regarding the previews.....for a while they were fiddling with showing previews from the same set of scenes and it kind of defeated MY PURPOSE of watching them to see what characters were starring the next day. If it saves the show money, scrap 'em.

You're SO right!! After all, you've got such an UNUSAL and UNIQUE idea there!! Wonder how long it will take TPTB to write it? :sarcasm:

I actually thought the costumes were a bit authentic looking not the Halloween r us variety, and Galen/ Christy did a good job with the dance.

Loved seeing Kayla!

Loved seeing Kayla too, but wasn't it a BIT odd that she would be suggesting that Carrie and Rafe do the special dance? I don't see my aunt suggesting that I do that with my brother-in-law. Kinda strange.

Carrie and Rafe are super cheesy and conrived. However, I like Rafe more when he is with Carrie than when he is with Sami. Never mind, that Rafe would NEVER look at Sami's sister like that (at least the way the character was originally written) but, whatever.

Sorry, probably not a popular opinion, but I am LOVING the whole EJ/Will dynamic going on. I hope that Will becomes his protege...

The Austin/Abby story... it's like a train wreck, but I can't stop watching.

Sure, it's odd. They're setting up Rafe and Carrie right now, and Kayla was the vehicle for that in this episode. If not Kayla, they'd use someone else for the same purpose. It's pretty obvious.

But I still loved seeing Kayla. But then, I love it whenever Mary Beth comes around. I'd like to see them use her for something more, though. There are all kinds of possibilities to use her better. She has ties to so many on the canvas. There could be a family story...or some significant scenes with her and Jack. They have such a complicated past that could come up again in a good way. Matt and Mary Beth still play the awkwardness very well, even after all these years.

I too wish they would have more Kayla/Jack scenes. What a goldmine that would be. As far as Jen goes...this really is a pod-person. The more I watch her, the more I'm convinced that something is WAY off with her. I would not be surprised if EJ or Stefano has messed with her brain in some way. The whole time I see her trying to convince Abe to play dirty I'm thinking that this just isn't Jennifer. Not that I can't see her doing something like this. Back in the day she was sneaky when it came to doing stories...but this. Just the way she is acting is odd. It's like I see this undertone to her that is just evil. Maybe it's the way she has treated Jack and I am now biased. But she just isn't the sweet Jen I know. I kind of hope the Demiras did do something to her. They've done it to everyone else, it really wouldn't surprise me much. And where did she disappear to when EJ walked in on Abe? That was weird and didn't make sense...unless she wanted Abe to get caught. ^o)

^ Again, we are giving the writers way too much credit. They are simply writing Jennifer completely out of character. Yes, in the past she could be sneaky when working on a story, but we liked her, so it was fine. Now we can't stand her, so when she does something sneaky, it simply looks underhanded and trashy. I can't get over how much I can't stand the character of Jennifer anymore. What the writers have done to Jennifer IS evil!!

Oh, and on another note, didn't MarDar say that they met with the actors to discuss their characters? Was Melissa Reeves unable to attend this meeting?

You're probably right and I am giving them too much credit. I don't know why because I haven't been too impressed with much so far. But I just can't understand how they nail some of the other characters and have done so poorly with Jennifer. I just don't get it. I'm just trying to find a way to explain the way they have written her. It HAS to be for a reason. If not a Dimera scheme, then maybe she's just going crazy. But I still thought it odd that she was supposed to be a look-out and then just leaves. Then, she's standing there watching Sydney open presents and just kind of stands there and watches EJ go in and catch Abe? She keeps glancing back at them. She doesn't even try to go in and distract him? Just too weird. But then maybe these writers are just that bad. Why is it that we all notice stuff like that and they don't? I'm still holding out hope that something is wrong with her...intentionally from the writers. Maybe it isn't an imposter Jen...but something is WRONG with her.

Well, true. Something is WRONG with her. If it will ever be addressed is another matter entirely. I agree that some characters are written so true-to-form, that it is upsetting that they have destroyed Jennifer like this. Maybe it is on purpose...

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

Supercool74, I love your ideas on this Jen thing. You are right, there was plenty of time for Jen, as Abe's look out, to make a distraction or interupt them, so Abe doesn't get caught. Strange, yes? Jen is usually very perceptive and would have your back in a case like this. It is like she has lost all her reporter instincts. Funny how subtle changes in her character stand out.

Jen as a pod... that would be uncreative, the Dimera's planted a jen-pod years back... the one Jack slept with. Now that was a good shocker. With Jack's long history of torment from the Dimera's, kidnapping, hostage, pod-jen, I can see them involved with the overall SL. It would be neat to see everything all tied together. Jack held in afghanistan for so long and is finallly freed, just in time to return home to a Jennifer that has already to move on with Dr. D. I am not sure exactly why the Dimera's have it out for Jack, it was mostly Tony's doing, wasn't it? Does anyone have the skinny on this? If screwing Jack over is their plan once again, then screwing up Jen-Jen would make sense too. I think TPTB have left so many things unanswered in the current SL, for option to develiop it at a later date. There are far too many unanswered questions and so many unwritten convos that should have already taken place.
If it is not Dimera related, then it can be Alamain related, they too would want payback on Jenny girl and Jack. Maybe Lawrence is alive and finally seeking revenge.

Jen MUST be institutionalized for chronic depression and paranoia at least temporarily (...2-3 mths tops) It would be the perfect way to address and begin to fix her character damage). And of course Jack would be there to help her because he always puts her needs first. Dan would still be prioccupied with his shaky hands and crying in his soup.
