. I read another spoiler about Brady going to a crack house
Damn that's dark. Let's hope he doesn't end up like Whitney Houston..
I'd potentially consider sacrificing Brady to get a bath tub scene.
Crack is WHACK!!

OOOF! A CRACK house? Dayum. :drunk:
Yeah. That's where he runs into the Kristen lookalike.
I recall reading somewhere that Eva Swan (Kristen look-alike) appears in the episode airing Nov. 27. I don't remember what kind of source it was, so I'm not sure if this information is correct. Has anyone read about it?

Soap Opera Digest confirmed Eva Swan for Nov. 27th, and the story behind it.

Expect Maggie to arrive and automatically assume Brady's back on drugs. lol

Instead of sending Brady to a crack house, can't he just join a nudist colony? Where is that spoiler? C'mon writers!

That's a bit redundant, isn't it? :)

ETA: The 7-yr old in me just had to say that.

I do think it would be interesting if Brady went a whole other direction this time. Like, maybe this time, Brady joins a cult or the circus or a square-dancing group.

Pookie, all I am saying is she has to atleast care about him. She wasn't getting anything out of giving him her money or getting upset with Jennifer about her staying away. She doesn't need him for drugs because she has her own dealer. JMO

Thursday
An enraged Sami confronts Nicole over the story she's doing on Eric; Brady runs into Maggie while high.


I see Marlena's disappeared again. You'd think she would be right in the thick of things with both of her sons' lives crumbling. Way to lose the momentum, writers.
Brady gets high? What the :censored: ?
I suspect Maggie finding Brady high will lead her to take him to an AA meeting where he will run across Theresa, who just agreed to start a program. Since it seems likely Brady and Theresa will get involved, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how their relationship starts.
Brady and Theresa... An opportunity to be able to fast forward both of them :)

According to SOD, Brady sees a "familiar face" in the crack house. I bet it's Theresa.

It's a Kristin lookalike, not Teresa

Brady doesn't even know Teresa, so she wouldn't be familiar

Brady isn't going to be starting a program anytime soon imo. He has to hit rock bottom first. Teresa is trying to get off drugs

Whereas Marlena never did anything for me. Too self righteous for my taste. I realize I'm in the minority here, but I'd root for Kristen before Marlena just because of that. I never cared much for saintly characters, therefore I'm often disappointed lol.
I have nothing against Marlena and sure she can bring something on this show, the question is more, is she a super interesting character? In my opinion, no. Iconic or whatever for viewers who grew up with the show but would a new viewer really think that she is exciting? I do not think so but it does not mean it's true :) What I mean is that you can not rely on old references it does not work that way in this industry where everything is fast and viewer demand more than what they may have done before. I wonder that maybe it's a difference between old and new viewer-starting what they want to see? What do you think?
I think that your view of how "the industry" works is pretty much always flat out wrong. This is daytime, not primetime. The goal is to keep viewers. The show is more likely to bring back old viewers than it is to gain new viewers. In daytime, "icon" status and history is pretty important because a big point of a soap is to have familiarity. These shows have been on for decades, and long term characters used in any capacity are part of what keeps the audience around and what's capable of bringing back lapsed viewers.

However, I don't think Marlena should be front and center anymore (and she's not), and I also don't think a new viewer would have any reason to find her "exciting." Her place on the show isn't to be an exciting main character. I do wish the show would give newer viewers a little more of a chance to see her point of view and see why some "older" viewers would root for her (same with Julie). That's something that I think has been missing since they brought her back (it's something they've screwed up with pretty much every return over the last few years, IMO). But if they didn't bother to do it with Kristen on canvas, I don't think they ever will. I don't think they realize that they need to. I think they assume that everyone knows the character well enough, and that's a pretty bad assumption on their part since even in her last decade on the show, her focus has been pretty minimal overall.

All that being said, I think that Sami is a big dull bore. The fights online about her are more interesting than she could ever hope to be. She hasn't done anything new or interesting since the 90s. Everything that once made her rootable has been stripped from her, and because of that I have a hard time seeing what it is that anyone finds interesting about her now unless it's just who she's paired with...who I also happen to find to be a big dull bore. And it's not like I'm old. I've been watching for a long time, but I'm in the target demographic. And it's not that I just don't "get" the writing for her. I get it. I just don't like it. The choices aren't only Marlena and Sami. The focus has been on Sami for a very long time, and it's past time to move on or at least phase back. That absolutely happened to Marlena, Hope, Jennifer, Kayla, Julie...every lead female character (that were seemingly far more successful in the spotlight). It's past time for them to try something new. It's the only thing they haven't tried. And it's not even something they should try because of ratings (though I think there's a good argument for that). It's just something they should try as part of the natural progression of the show.

That was long.
I agree with most of what you said.

However, I would definitely watch a front burner story with Marlena again.

And I've never found Sami to be a character to root for. Maybe when she was a child, and when AS's version first came to Salem, but once she was no longer sympathetic I lost interest. Then AS's acting went off the rails and she became intolerable.

What is Hope doing at a crack house? My guess would be she is undercover or she shows up to arrest everybody in sight. LOL

Brady doesn't need to start a program like formal rehab. He already is in AA and Maggie is his sponsor. If she thinks he may be using or drinking, the first thing she will do is encourage him to go with her to a meeting, and he may just go to get her off his back. Theresa already agreed to go to meetings, so it seems like a logical place for them to meet up.

As for Brady not knowing Theresa, I find that really weird. Last year, when John was thought dead, Shane and Roman helped deliver the news and talked Brady out of going after Stefano. Brady clearly knew who Shane was, and it's ridiculous that he doesn't know the child of people who were as close friends of John and Marlena as Shane and Kim were.

It's not only The Biggest Loser, she's on many shows promoting Days as well. Sami's always been a main character as far back as I can remember, but I would assume that maybe she'll be backburned a bit after she marries EJ. Probably they both will. Or, she has become the modern day Marlena. Marlena was front and centre for years in her younger days, just like Sami. Anyways, I don't mind AS or Sami one bit. I like both the actress and the character, so I'm totally ok with it.
Sami is no Marlena. Her stompin' truck driver boots can never fill those shoes!
Whereas Marlena never did anything for me. Too self righteous for my taste. I realize I'm in the minority here, but I'd root for Kristen before Marlena just because of that. I never cared much for saintly characters, therefore I'm often disappointed lol.
Sickingly saintly and self-righteous fits more with Jennifer than Marlena (or Hope or any other Salem female) to me.

If Hope is undercover, I hope she's wearing something bitchin'. lol. & she needs the sleek-straight hair too. lol.
Sadly, I'm guessing she just arrives with other cops to make a bust. Undercover would definitely be more fun to watch. Either way, I hope Hope takes no bull or excuses from Brady.
