5 idoits EJ, Brady, Jen, Abby & Daniel stare down Nicole, then chase after her. Rafe is a godsend. He's moved from my make fun, only one facial expression list to my 'like' list. If anyone in this group can be saved, it's Rafe and he deserves :hug: The rest are condemned to helll!

Damn it. I know she's in the wrong but I can't help rooting for Kristen. She did terrible things and J&M have every right to hate her but seeing her like this... reminiscing about the past, thinking about what could've been... it's hard not to feel for her. She wasted three years building a relationship with a man she loved just to find out he was in love with someone else the entire time. She lost her mother, she lost her brother, she lost her baby. She lost everyone she loved all at once and she had Marlena breathing down her neck the whole time, threatening to take John from her. That doesn't excuse the lying and the kidnapping and the baby stealing and the attempted murder, but it does explain why she flew off the handle and I think her motives are perfectly understandable.

Go Away Daniel.

The scenes with Nicole were heart-breaking and I am not a Rafe fan but the concern he showed for Nicole was really nice. It was a cruel storyline and I felt bad for Nicole. Ari Zucker acted those scenes extremely well. Kudos to her.

I know what you mean I'm actually a RHU (RAfe Haters Unite) member and I swear right now after reading this garbage he's the only one that seems to actually realize Nicole is on the verge of a breakdown. It's like the rest of them are ready for popcorn and a show - Fucking Morons. Can't believe I am applauding his actions. :blink:

Jennifer and Abby have hit a new low for me, she's shown today it's like her mother all about her.

This too painful to read, forget about watching. This is just too cruel. Watching a person who has lost two babies have a total meltdown is not entertainment, who likes this shit? It's sure not me. Kudos to Rafe for being the only person to show an ounce of compassion to Nicole. The rest of them are just asses. Boo hoo Jen, sorry you spent a night in jail, but don't pretend you grieved for Jack. You wanted Daniel and you didn't care if you had to harass and fight a woman with a high risk pregnancy to get him. And this is why I cannot root for any of the so-called heroines on this show. They are full of crap hypocrites. Hell, I can't root for this show anymore.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

I just can't get behind a woman moving in on another woman's husband. John is married for crying out loud. I don't care even if John is the most naive dick on Salem.... wake up and smell the coffee! It's not like they don't have a history and he'll need to try harder to protect his marriage and his wife from the trolling games of Kristen Dimera. Her appearance at the cabin is stupid. What would have happened if J&M both showed up. The pacing is fucking awful..it is moving way too fast, compared to the Nicole shit that is being shown, same day.

Very difficult to get behind a SL that appeared out of the blue....really, no matter what John does or doesn't do with Kristen, he will look like a foolish ass and Marlena his stupid wife for having to deal with the both of them.

I just can't see any payoff in this crappy SL. Hell, if my husband couldn't see that his ex (Not that my husband has one) is all up in his face, at ever turn and corner. Kristen has been following John, like wildfire, nd there has not been that many days to have passed in Salem. I would start thinking that he was enjoying it a bit too much. This SL is starting to frustrate me. :frustration: I would have preferred if Kristen drugged him & kidanpped him and kept him at the cabin or something more dramatic... her trying to make a play for him with underhanded tactics, she deserves a slap in the face. I hope it's coming soon.

Did anyone notice that today, was the 2ND time for Marlena to talk to someone about her patients. Since when does she do that? In yesterday's epi she's tells John something about her patient and then today, she does that same thing to Hope, I think it is about the same patient, but who cares, why would TPTB do this? TPTB all ready have one unethical patientgropingsexing doctor... now they are going to derail Marlena's ethics. Not sitting well with me. :toetap:

dan yells no the doctor didnt lie ,you are lying
you had an appointment that morning
and the doctor told you the baby
was dead , it did not have a heartbeat


Daniel you inconsiderate, fucking jackass. She just lost her second child, did you really expect her to action rationally? Especially after the way Jennifer has treated her? Compassion my ass. And 'it did not have a heart beat'? The baby was a HE you asshole! :flipoff:
The baby was a "he" and your namesake, and godson, Dr. Douche. How quickly you've forgotten that little detail. And how ironic that Rafe should show the clearly irrational Nicole more kindness and care than Superdoc. I guess Daniel was too eager to be Jen-Jen's knight in shining armor to give a damn about an erstwhile patient/love interest mad with grief over the loss of her second baby.

Kristen set it up so that a patient would need Marlena, she knows when the ferries leave, easy peasy.

I'm just sick of John being written as clueless. I mean, seriously. There is no lingering feelings, his heart is 100% with Marlena, there is not a single, tiny piece of doubt regarding that. John loves Marlena, and no one else. But John is also, at times, a clueless moron who has a ridiculous need to not do what he hopes others won't do to him. He feels guilty for his past and everything he did with Stefano, he has a need to give everyone a second chance. Sorry, dude. That woman almost KILLED your baby. While absolutely trying to KILL your wife. She almost killed two of the four people you love more than anything in the entire world (I count Carrie as J&M's child too, alongside B&B). And Marlena was right so many times. She was right about Kristen, Vivian and Ivan. She was right about Gina posing as Hope. She was initially right about Stefano (amnesia, and pre-Aremid). She was right about the Laura/Peter thing. How about you just don't need any proof on this one?

It would actually be seriously refreshing for anyone to just believe something on a soap.

I think Days of our lives is the most depressing soap opera of all time. It is all doom and gloom, miscarriages, Psychos who suddenly become sane, or people become Psycho for no reason, insta-romances, romances and relationships that don't last, flying coffins, twins from outer space or a meteor shower, and I also believe that Days holds the record of most people being killed or declared dead and then coming back alive. Sorry, but I could just go on and on.

I have to admit I don't dislike Rafe as much as I used to. He's heaven now compared to Saint Daniel.
Yup, kind of a perspective thing.

Anyway, thought I'd check out the write up for today's "big reveal" (thanks, Skye), and it sounds pretty sorry. From the write up, I too am feeling a bit warm and fuzzy toward Rafe, dull though he is in a general sense. I feel like Rafe is looking like the most human character in what seem to be, overall, some rather poorly executed scenes. Nicole, I do sympathize with her of course. I only wish a dull waste of space like Dan weren't the focal point for her. She's suffering one of the worst things a person can suffer, having a still birth, and I can sympathize with her going a bit nuts on Jennifer, as Jennifer really was simply awful to Nicole. I'm just sorry Dan has anything to do with it. I'm sorry Jennifer has anything to do with it too. Actually, I'm sorry Dan has anything to do with anything. Someone upthread mentioned that this could have been a good story if Dan weren't in it. I can see that. But Jennifer is awful in it too, but maybe she wouldn't be if Jack were in Dan's place so that I could be more understanding of Jennifer butting into the whole thing. Though if he were, I hope he'd show more compassion toward Nicole than Dan is. At any rate, I think Nicole is the character who's going to come out of this pretty lousy story in a place that positions her to be in a good story next. Having been brought horribly low, but still seeming human and sympathetic, is a good place to work from. I think it will depend on whether they insta the Eric thing too much though.

The biggest problem with this story is that I think I'm supposed to sympathize with Jennifer, Abby, & Dan, but I just don't. At all. And I don't think that's just me being bitter about Jack. They all just seem like a bunch of jerks. I appreciate that Abby has lost her father (I think I'm grieving him more than she is) and that Nicole threatened to take her mother away too, but Abby is a grown woman who lost a parent, which is still terrible for someone as young as Abby, but Nicole lost a baby. I think Abby was OTT with regard to having zero compassion for that.

Oh, and when Daniel delivers lines like "I want to smash your face into the wall"--oy. It just doesn't work. I can just hear how he'd deliver it too, and it makes me cringe.

Sounds like they've given Gabi and Nick the old insta-love kiss of crappiness.

I'm sorry that the Kristen stuff sounds so utterly uninteresting.

Hmmm....Placental abruption, which includes any amount of placental separation before delivery, occurs in about 1 out of 150 deliveries. The severe form, which can cause the baby to die, occurs only in about 1 out of 800 to 1,600 deliveries.

Symptoms
Abdominal pain
Back pain
Frequent uterine contractions
Uterine contractions with no relaxation in between
Vaginal bleeding

She had NONE of these....

Complications

Excess blood loss may lead to shock and possible death in the mother or baby. If bleeding occurs after the delivery and blood loss cannot be controlled in other ways, the mother may need a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).

Sounds like the writers need a research assistant

Yeah, he's getting some, but it's only to serve TomSell's plot-driven WTD storyline, so it's not exactly gratifying -- from a viewer standpoint, I mean. Another contrived and rushed setup.

Yeah, but Daniel sounds so cool and doctor-like when he says it. (That's pretty much all these writers care about)


ETA: In actuality, this sounds horrible and I feel sorry for the women who go through it. :(
