Where is this explosion happening, the Dimera mansion set explodes?

No, the DiMera Mansion is not part of the explosion. At least not on the 27th.
You just answered a question I posted in your thread! ;) Can you tell us if there is at least one set that will be MIA on the other side of the explosion's aftermath? Would be an easy way to ease out old sets and introduce new.

You have the complete list of sets involved on 7/27:

Just the Ballroom, Tunnels and Warehouse plus DiMera Mansion, John & Marlena's Townhouse and Police Conference Room.

So I guess they will say the Ballroom is in Horton Town Square?? Because all the spoilers are saying it gets blown up, yet Horton Town Square is not listed at all on the set list.

"Abby's trapped in an elevator"

I guess that answers that question then. Jack will probably die saving her since his exit has been linked to an elevator:( So pointless.
Pretty much everything about Jack's exit is pointless, and TIIC are living up to their nickname. About the only saving grace is that it looks like Jack will go out heroically, saving the life of his daughter, which he would do in a heartbeat, no matter what demons might be plaguing him. (I'm wondering if his PTSD will resurface during the crisis). And Abigail and Jennifer will not have any cause to whine about his "abandoning" them ever again.

Is it vindictive of me to hope they suffer very much? After the way they treated him on his return, even when they knew what had really happened to him, their grief and remorse this time around should be commensurate with their previous self-righteousness and, in Abigail's case, downright viciousness. I hope she feels horribly guilty, and maybe it could even cause a rift between her and Jennifer.

Speaking of vindictive, T&W 2 are wasting no time trying to expunge every trace of MarDar's work by destroying HTS. Not saying the set isn't overused or that the worst of MarDar's stuff doesn't deserve to be overturned, but it doesn't bode well for the show's future direction that something that was meant as a homage to the beloved Tom and Alice Horton is being blown to bits. I wouldn't be surprised if the Horton house was next on the demolition list.

I'm surprised we didn't hear what Jarlena, Bope and Abe are doing.
Most of them are together when the explosion occurs.
Thanks Jason, I think I figured it out from your Tuesday update.

Too bad though, that set should be demolished. The house needs a remodel. :lol:

Tomlin/Whitesell destroying the town square as payback would be truly pathetic on their part. I would hope Corday nor Meng would allow that to happen. It's a great set and losing it would be a huge blow.

We honestly should be getting promos already about this cliffhanger. The Olympic promos have been airing for a few weeks now. NBC should promote DAYS as well. Even something small, like the sound of an explosion being heard over a black screen and then "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" appears on the screen. Maybe say something about the date being July 27 when it happens. Anything!

Sounds like they're rolling back the clock to August 2011 already anyway. Can Nighttime Hope and Rafe 3 be far behind?

Watch what you wish for, MarDar Haters.... ;)

Fingers crossed that this plays out as exciting as it sounds. These is an ACTUAL cliffhanger!!! Out of all this, I'm most excited that Will and Sami have EJ's back and helping him survive/go on the run. This naughty trio presents all sorts of opportunities for soapy goodness down the line.

I am sorry, I meant a set taken out of rotation that had been in use before the cliffhanger. This viewer would appreciate a total overhaul of the DiMera mansion - too much purple. :huh1:

Nothing really sounds like that so far?

I'd really like to know if all of this is MarDar's material, and if not, what Tomlin/Whitesell did to change it.

Do we know for sure MarDar planned this explosion for the cliffhanger?

It's ironic that Will slipping over to the DiMera side is finally what gets Sami to stop playing Stepford wife and join TeamEJ. Will was trying to get away from his mom! :sweet:

I wouldn't be surprised if the Horton house was next on the demolition list.

I was speaking generally about his exit when I said pointless. There's not even any lead in to it which shows it's just being done for effect. I don't care how heroic he is it doesn't make it any better. Like I've said several times there's just no point to it. I hope Jennifer and Abby do feel awful forever. Knowing he died to save her should make Abby suffer the rest of her life but I doubt it'll last more than a few weeks. Everyone will convince her Jack wouldn't want her too and it'll never be mentioned again. Not sure where Jennifer fits in all this but same for her probably. Jack doesn't need to literally die so everyone knows he would give up his life for his family. We already knew that and it's such a cruel end for one of Days best ever characters - probably all so Jennifer can get a story. I'd like to think his PTSD would re-emerge. Matt did say in an interview there was one more scene taped when it (the PTSD) comes up (though knowing TomSell they probably axed it).

What can I say. All of the Ejami and Ejill nonsense gives me a stomach ache, head ache, nervous condition, premature hair loss, and all-consuming depression. Every bit of it sounds terrible to me.

And I am confused - Lucas talks to whom about the plans re: EJ? To Kate? To no one and Ian just overhears?? Whatever - it's all more of the same disappointment.

I wish Sami would disappear into the recesses of the earth for awhile. Maybe she will get amnesia. Oh great, that will happen, won't it? I can see the EJ/Lucas/Sami triangle nonsense that could arise from that kind of plot.

Other than that the cliff hanger stuff sounds great. Oh, I am sure Brady is in for a world of guilt if Madi dies and he indeed is not around, as some posters have speculated.

And Nicole - I really, really, really hope she doesn't lose this baby =(

It will just be nice to see everyone in the canvas involved like this. That is what I am looking forward to more than anything.

But I am less that ecstatic, for obvious reasons. Just want the Olympics to come and go already.

Meh...this is not sounding how I hoped it would....way too much EJill, EJami, Dicole and Melanoma for my tastes.

That is probably because everyone else is a glorified extra and nothing more.

The 7/27 episode has MarDar's names listed on it. Don't know what the WGA's rules are for listing writers, but Tomlin/Whitesell are not listed on the cover.
