It's obvious that Nick probably is the 'major' character to die and that three others cover up his death....I can see Will, Kate and Sami probably covering it up, or Will, Sonny and Gabi, or Will, Sonny and Sami...I'm willing to bet it's him and the only reason he's 'major' is because he's a Horton, that's it. I am very disappointed in Days though for going with the Psycho Nick story.....seriously.....why? Blake is phenomenal....so much could have been done post prison rape reveal...oh well....

Kristen's car falls off a cliff....bye bye bitch!
Once again I have to point out, that okay: So some are actually hoping for Kristen to die, but when NICK goes psycho, it's all "Oh poor Nick, why are they doing this to him, he's not evil, he's just mentally deranged, boo hoo... :'( "? Kristen was also *written* the way she was, where's the sympathy for that character?

Same goes with EJ, if he does something, or Victor for that matter, people just seem to sing his praises? This is just seems like a double standard to me. Seems like a male character can act whichever way he wants and get a pass, yet female characters are expected to be Mary Sues or otherwise they're just easy targets.
IMHO, with those two characters played by the two of the best actors in the genre Days could have gone so much deeper. Moreover, I think it's socially irresponsible not to acknowledge that Kristen and Nick have some mental disorders caused by their past experiences or whatever it was that caused it. I know soaps have to have villains that viewers are supposed to hate or love to hate but that doesn't mean their actions doesn't need an explanation. It's like the show gives us the message that being mentally sick=insane=crazy=evil. This message doesn't help to overcome stigma of mental illness and discrimination towards people experiencing mental illness in the real world. It's really hard for these people and their relatives to live with that, let alone to cope with the stigma. And the show channels that if a person has let's say borderline personality disorder (like they are saying Kristen has) - but it can as well be depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia - so she/he is evil and doesn't deserve to have friends or being loved. I don't think anybody would say that if a person doesn't have legs she/he doesn't deserve love. Why nobody on this show is able to acknowledge that mentally unstable persons need counselling/psychotherapy? Not interesting for a soap? I, personally, remember Tony's ("The Sopranos") psychoanalysis sessions as especially entertaining.

Interesting that they're only getting partial scripts. Does that mean that everyone isn't aware of the various storylines other people are involved in (unless they discuss them in the MUR or see them on the screen, or whatever)??
maybe it's to save money on paper and printing?
Look out! We'll be getting that location shoot in... 57 years. :sarcasm:

LOVE LOVE LOVE that Doug dress up like Santa & sings in the Christmas episode.. :wub:
Susan/Julie taping ALOT :wub: - It better be lots of scenes with Kristian/Hope!

I REALLY hope that Marlena gets to talk too, in her scenes with Eric in the church.
I'm going to miss Kristen/Eileen like h*ll...
Loved the fans reaction to seeing Shane & Kim.
Surprised at the reaction Jordan/Rafe got
LOVE that Maggie moves out of the K Mansion, at that Victor is himself again!
I'm actually looking forward to see crazy Nick- although I do miss geeky Nick :wub:

Now why in the frack wasn't Hope shown???

I think EJ kept Kristenīs secret partly because he likes his sister, partly because of family loyalty, but also because he didnīt realized how bad the situation was he didnīt know the video was gonna get showned at the wedding and publically humiliate Eric and make him a wreck. He did say he wanted him knock down of his pedistal but he didnīt know just how badly his Word would come true. It seemed like he was feeling quilty of what he said on fridays show when he said sorry to Sami and hugged her, and apparently he feelings so bad about it that he confesses the truth to Sami. I canīt remember him confessing anything on his free will before so it looks like he really has changed at least from dark to grey.
Couple of confusing things here. I didn't know that EJ comes out and admits what he knew. Does he also admit that Kristen was going to drug Eric again, Kristen told him that and he was A-OK with it? EJ and Sami knew that Eric almost died the first time he was drugged so Sami is fine with EJ willing to look the other way for it happen again??
Also, the spoilers say that Dan and Nicole make it their mission to find evidence to prove Eric was raped. Why doesn't EJ or Sami (if EJ does confess) save them the trouble and tell everyone what Kristen told EJ?

I don't see how any sane woman could forgive this from the man who is suppose to love her.....

Just spoke with some friends who went through the line to see Galen and they said there was a lot of excited chatter from groups around them about the Rafe and Jordan storyline. They said there was a positive energy over the romance being written and lots of fun speculation on Jordan's hidden past. And naturally many comments on how gorgeous Chrishell is in person.

I hope nbc puts up the promo from the event soon. I'd love to see a clear version of it.

No. Nicole isn't even mentioned.

Someone asked if EJ and Sami were going to actually get married this time, and AS said they'd have to ask Bruce Evans. Some people booed at the question which prompted the guy to ask who was ready for them to get married. So then some people cheered. But then this man started chanting "Rafe Rafe Rafe." To me it looked like the actors tried to acknowledge him and the people booing but the announcer seemed to very intentionally ignore it. And before either side brags or whines, there really wasn't a ton of booing or cheering coming from either side. It was just a weird interaction, IMO.
Are you saying most people were ambivalent? Good.
Maybe they are like me and just don't care who Sami is with and wish she'd leave Salem.
Thanks Lysie for posting the part about the booing and cheering. I've already heard some of the bragging you were talking so I'm glad to get the full story from you.

I heard that too! There seems to be lots of excitement over Jordan and Rafe and also the thought of Lucas getting a new love. I guess that takes a weight off Ali's shoulders :D ( I seriously don't think she wants it this way--I'm thinking she liked being everything to everyone :eyeroll: )

EJ overheard Kristen talking about sleeping with Eric and he confronted her about it. Kristen told him that she was in the clear (ha) because Eric blamed Nicole for the rape, so EJ didn't really seem to care anymore until the video played at the wedding. However, once the :shithitfan: EJ most certainly did not confess everything to Sami and as far as I can tell EJ does not plan on confessing his knowledge of the incident to Sami.

Ej and Sami are not breaking up unfortunately she did not even leave the house she just not having sex with him which cheapen Sami even more after ej acted in wedding tried to make Eric think he just imagine things.Sami can not even move out of house even for few days because of what happened of Eric.the writing for ej and Sami it more how much they can cheapen Sami and relationship of Sami with others.Sami does not care enough of her twin brother got hurt
And Nick seriously days
For some reason it easy to write for days good guy as bad while they have problem to write bad guy as bad
Even Nick will not rape Gabi he still tried to rape Gabi.

I donīt think what EJ did is that bad that she should break up with him over it, he was just protecting his sister like she is protecting her brother.
Only Elvis didn't grow up with Kristen. He didn't know her until she returned to Salem last year. Big difference.
He didn't grow up with Chad, Lexie, or Tony either but he still managed to form a bond with them in a somewhat short amount of time.

Sami being Sami, it'll boil down to EJ choosing Kristen over her. That's what going to piss her off the most. Remember how mad she was at Rafe for telling Carrie about not being the father of Nicole's baby when he didn't tell her? What happened to poor Eric will probably only be a blimp on her radar when she finds out EJ chose his sister over her.

yes, I do not think time defines the strength of a bond, something especially true with the Dimeras.

Wasn't there some talk about someone else coming to the show from As the World Turns besides MC? Maybe Lucas' new love interest will Noelle Beck who played Lilley for a while. I can't believe Lucas is actually getting a new love interest. So happy for Bryan.

From what I read in SOD, EJ gets busted by Sami when she sees a text from Kristen thanking EJ for keeping her secret. EJ admits to Sami he knew Eric and Kristen had sex but doesn't admit to knowing Kristen drugged Eric.

It will be interesting to see if EJ speaks up with the truth once Eric loses his job.

Did BD say he was getting a love interest for sure, or was that his hope? A love interest and he doesn't even have a sl or a contract, seems weird.

There is just something so right about seeing D&D together. They are part of the fabric of the show so I am glad that TPTB came to their senses and brought Drake back.

In reading all of this, I'm left to wonder what is what - Eric Martsolf said that there are going to be some shake-ups with the pairings...and others said that Lucas & Jordan don't interact, etc. So basically...we know jackshit except Tomlin is going to go with yet another rape storyline.

Oy.

On the other hand, my Jarlena lovin heart is all aflutter with seeing the pictures of them together again. And I'm glad their relationship isn't all "Sorry" "Yeah, it's cool." "Wanna take a shower?" "Yeah, let's go." - they need a storyline out of all of this damnit - I want angst, fights, bickering, blaming, hollering, throwing shit (although not at each other), talking, listening, self-reflection, more talking, apologies, forgiveness, then a big ol' wedding and for them to STAY married, together and in Salem - and for GOD'S SAKE can someone set up their damn townhouse set again???

ahem...

Gotta love that Doug & Julie are returning & to hear that he'll be singing in the Christmas episodes? I'm so there!

I'm officially on board with Ericole too. Eric is going to be a blank slate after the dust settles and watching him try to pick up the pieces & see who he wants to be once he leaves the priesthood, as well as making amends with Nicole will hopefully be good stuff. Ari & Greg are suh-MOKIN hott too & have hella chemistry.

Thanks to everyone who shared pictures & interviews - it's really appreciated!!!

Did Nicole really tell Eric that she can never forgive him? That's a little harsh given the circumstances.
As harsh as Eric telling Nicole that not even God could forgive her for raping him? They're both coming down very hard on each other right now, and understandably so. But I hope that eventually they'll be able to put the blame where it belongs--on Kristen--and begin to move forward. For the moment, though, Eric and Brady should both have to sweat, squirm, and wonder if their friend/former love will ever be able to forgive either of them.
