Gone, But Not Forgotten!

I think Nicole`s bangs make her look young and it seems like she`s dyed it a tad lighter.

So...did Ejole sneak out the back? Did they climb down the side of the mansion? There's six people in their living room!
They shimmied down the lattice work.
- Or they went out through the Batcave!

- Nicole talking about her childhood fantasy of her knight charging in on a white horse and EJ just smiling . . . please, oh please, oh please tell me we will soon get to see EJ (shirtless of course) on a white horse . . . on a beach . . . me sitting right behind him . . . the wind in our hair as we gallop through the water. :wub: *sigh* . . . Oops! Sorry, I forgot where I was. :$

- So now we have to watch Stefano sit around for days and agonize about opening the envelope? Gag me! I guess I can deal with it as long as he doesn't jump up and down and get all excited 'cos he gets a sign from a fortune cookie of Santo's or something. :rolleyes:

Well...that was a good, creepy entrance. And I'll have you all know that I just typed and deleted a really dirty joke.
Was it something along the lines of "that's what she said!"? :P

LMAO @ Stefano's reaction to Kate being glad she hired Sami. But how disappointing that there's not something more they've planned. Oooh. Kate didn't appreciate that Marlena reference.
I could tell by that look on her face but then Stefano covered because he could tell that she was not happy about it. She said she was not jealous but I could tell she did not like that comment at all.

If I wrote the show I just might of had her throw in a smart comment or maybe a slap that would have been entertaining to me. She did stare daggers in him though.

The best part of today was the dialog, interactions, and acting at the DiMera Mansion. I loved all of it. I also don't necessarily mind this John/Hope story because at least IT'S A STORY. I'm willing to see where this goes. At least we actually have some sort of time frame for when it happened based on dialog today -- almost immediately before John & Marlena's big wedding and subsex. I thought Kate looked the best today that she's looked in a LONG time (Cookie Monster weave notwithstanding). Also, if Kate's were were just DARKER (maybe a chestnut brown) without all of those orange highlights, the blue wouldn't be as jarring and might actually look good.

I liked the basic idea of Madison's dress. It's a damn shame she decided to Bedazzle it for her date. As much as I want to like Brady & Madison, it's all so contrived and SO RUSHED. They've covered about a year of story in 4 months. They should be just starting to date right now! Seeing Ian Buchanan today made me giddy. I can't wait to see what he brings to the canvas.

Someone just shoot Nicole & EJ and put me out of my misery. If it's ever revealed that Nicole has a safe deposit box, I'll just spare you all the mystery & tell you what's inside -- EJ's balls. Also, AZ is a beautiful woman. Why the fuck DAYS' hair dept. continues to make her hair (along with everyone else's) look like absolute shit is beyond me. They should be sued for malpractice.

Today's show was directed by Herb Stein & written by the fabulous Richard Culliton (explaining the sharp dialog at DiMansion). Also, I just noticed today that Jeanne Marie Ford is no longer listed among the assistant writers and has been replaced by Victor Gialanella.

Interesting. Apparently, Victor Gialanella was co-fi-core under Higley....

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
JER didn't create Alamania.
Yikes! Sorry, was totally sure that was him. Self-correction then: whoever came up with the name maybe didn't care about geography.
Alamania was first featured in 1990 when half of Salem went there after finding out Lawrence was responsible for Steve's death or because he was holding both Jennifer and Alice against their will (J&J, Alice, Carly, Bo, Julie, Kayla, Frankie and Shane). The country was never referred to by name by any of the characters on the show (I'm sure Alamania was just the name of the storyline or how fans refer to that storyline). If it ever came up they'd always call it "Lawrence's country". I think it was only ever referred to as Ubilam (Malibu spelt backwards because I believe that's where they taped the outdoor scenes). I don't even know what it has to do with John or Hope. John was still Roman during that story and only showed up briefly when everyone was rescued and Hope was presumed dead at that time. Neither of them have any connection with that storyline or the country. Have they mentioned in any scenes why Alamania?

Can I just state for the record I SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY MISS LAWRENCE ALAMAIN!!!

My comments about today's show.

I would have to fire Harold he is always just letting people push past him and get in the living room without even seeing if they are taking visitors there is always someone bursting in there raging at EJ or Stefano.

I really enjoyed the Kate/Stefano, Bo/Hope and John/Marlena scenes. The looks that they were all giving off were so funny. Also Kate with her smug comments every now and then was too funny to me. I liked these scenes they were the best part of the show to me. Liked the way Marlena stood front and center of the four to confront Stefano. Bo was like oh hell well she got this we can stop talking for awhile.

When John told Stefano to shut up come on it was like he was telling him enough talk old man let's go outside so I can kick your ass.

Oh Stefano Stefano Stefano you are not going to be so smug when you open your envelope next week he can tell Kate all he wants that he is not worried about it but I can tell that he is he was totally deflecting today he was using his smugness to cover his own fear. When they all left and Kate went to talk to cook the expression on his face totally changed he is just putting on a strong front in front of Kate and the others. He does not want any of them to know how scared he is by all this. Hope is right Stefano knows this will haunt him forever.

How did EJ/Nicole get past all of those people?

Why did John take the cigar? He should not trust anything that Stefano gives him he took it and kept it.

Stefano stop clutching and hugging that envelope and OPEN IT!!!!!!

I think Ian had to pee or something must of have a long flight because it looks like he came out of the bathroom or could it have been the closet.

Wait where are his black gloves?

What a deliciously creepy entrance, the look on his face sent shivers up my spine this guy is definitely going to bring the creepy and darkness to the show. I cannot wait to see more of what he has to offer the show.

Why does John's shirt make it look like he is still in prison?

Ah. Victor Gialanella was Higley's co-HW from April 23, 2008 - October 10, 2008. Wasn't that the strike?

Kate did not look like she appreciated that comment that Stefano made about Sami having good ideas because she is Marlena's daughter. Imagine if he would have went popping off with that Queen of the Night shit I could just imagine her reaction to that.

Foot in ass Stefano foot in ass, well if I were Kate that would have been my reaction or at least five across the mouth for even saying in in my presence.

It was speculated that he was the uncredited HW during the strike too along with Higley's husband. Yes, it was believed Higley voiced what she wanted through him but he executed it far better than she ever could. We got good stuff during the strike and, assuming it was him with some sort of writing control then, he did a pretty good job.

I would love for Stefano to revisit his obsession for Marlena (to a certain extent) and have Kate react by doing something to Marlena out of concern that she might lose her position a "Lady of DiManor".

Stefano told Marlena that he could not force John/Hope to get married unless it was something that they really wanted to do.

Well, he forced Kate to marry him and clearly she did not want to do it at all he used good old fashioned blackmail to get her. It worked out for him at least for now with Ian coming to town and his obvious connection to Kate that will be revisited we will see if it continues to work out for him only time will tell if Kate's love for Stefano is as strong as it appears to be. They seem to be quite solid right now.

No. The strike was from mid October of 2007 through March of 2008 (roughly). I think the dates listed above start with the first show aired with scripts written after the strike.

The times above are, IMO, when the show really started sucky. I liked the show during the strike until about April.

I always thought the strike material aired from January 28, 2008 (Hogan's last credited day as HW) until April 23, 2008 (Higley's first credited day as HW). Between those nearly four months, there was no one listed as the head writer and that was the material Gialanella, Higley's husband/Higley were supposedly responsible for.
