Cool. Now if they would just ditch the hacky, crappy overrated Ari Zuker, things would be alright. If that chick is the future "leading lady" of DAYS, this show is in worse shape than I thought.

Kristen can't get pregnant, unless they've changed that too. Hence EJ's birth.

People don't die and come back to life either, yet the show still does that. Making Kristen pregnant is nothin.

People have gotten pregnant when they were told they can't have kids all the time. It's it the norm? No. Is it unheard of? Not at all.

I'd love to know what really went down on that island. It's obvious that she was raped from what she alluded to.

I would have much preferred if Days would have told the aftermath story of Kristen possibly being a victim of rape/sexual enslavement rather than the Bristen(the latter part)/Bristen 2.0 stuff that got super stale really quick. But at least we got some great Marlena, Marlena/Kristen, and Marlena slapping the hell out of John scenes.

I loved Nicole vs. Kristen!!

TBH, I was relieved it wasn't another Kristen vs. Marlena over John sl again. Brady and Kristen have massive chemistry, and funnily enough, many people thought they had more chemistry with one another than Kristen did with John. I'm really excited to see where they're going to take Kristen next. The reintroduction is over. Kristen is a key player.

While it makes sense that Kristen would return eventually, I must admit that I'm not looking forward to the Epidemic of Stupid that will descend (again) on most Salemites so her over-the-top schemes can succeed. (Brady and Jennifer, in particular, suffered double-digit drops in their IQs during Kristen's last visit--houseplants were smarter than they were.) Villains aren't nearly as entertaining without heroes capable of fighting back/outwitting them.

They could have done both if they wanted. Half of the time they showed Bristen in bed they could have written some dialogues for them about the past issues.

BTW, the island stuff interests me more than a possible baby/pregnancy s/l a lot of people seem to be excited about or disgusted by. A baby s/l would be interesting if it would be long-term. As it's short term I definitely don't want another Chloe/Parker s/l variation which made no sense.

I didn't see how Marlena-John-Kristen could work as a viable triangle this time around, either.
BTW, I've read a lot of negative (also some positive, lol) comments about Bristen, but none of them said Kristen/ED had more chemistry with John/DH than with Brady/EM. None.

I am possibly the only one (because I haven't read the thread) but my feelings on this are quite MEH. Kristen should be a fabulous villain but her run with Brady was quite lame. It breaks my heart to say, but unless they have real rivals, it's time to rest the DiMera familia.

Yes, but that would have portrayed Kristen as the underdog, with a disadvantage, and that was never supposed to be the story. This was Kristen's story, from her POV and with her as the lead, with others supporting her. And that was just the way it was done right.

Also, I don't think one can say Jennifer "losed intelligence" by being friends with Kristen. Firstly, if you are friends with someone, you have to trust them and believe in them, otherwise the friendship kind of cannot happen. Secondly, I don't think it was really even a case of trust but more like Jennifer having so much things on her own plate, to have time or interest to really even think about Kristen or what she is doing. I mean, that is the normal standard, after all. People do not usually think about what other people are doing unless there's something for themself to gain. There was no reason for Jennifer to be suspicious of Kristen.

I am not at all interested in seeing Kristen reminisce about some horrors she possibly went through at the island. That would mean she would have to actually go through with that, etc, and I don't want to see a simpering, whimpering mess on my screen. Especially not one called Kristen DiMera. Kristen has to be a strong, smart, fun, witty and emotional person.

And she and John had nothing this last time anymore. ED of course has chemistry with a doorknob, but DHo looked like a ridiculous wooden statue trying to conjure up some sort of reminiscent of chemistry with her, where there really was none. The pain of the memories was palpable from Kristen's side, but not from John. And in his little scheme he just came off ridiculous, and sabotaging his own family in the process. So I definitely vote for NO retreats, ever, for Kristen and John.

And yes, of course the chemistry between Kristen and Brady was explosive. I mean who could not see it from the first time they ended up in bed together. And there was so much more to them than just sex. And why wouldn't they have not had to be shown in bed often? That's how they do it with Ej and Sami all the time, and now EJ and Abby. So why couldn't Kristen and Brady do it? To me it's only right.

Now, I *will* admit Bristen's second round could have been handled better. They should have been together for real without any secrets between them for awhile. But then again they had to write it the way that Kristen would leave by that time. So it couldn't be helped.

I'm still not at all convinced that Kristen's return this time will have anything to do with a baby. And I'm not sure it should either. I mean, if she indeed HAS a baby, people, and I, would want to actually see her as a real and good mother. And how is she supposed to scheme properly then? I mean, sure there are all the DiMera babysitters, but I just still feel a baby might cramp her style. HOWEVER, who's to say she would have it with her right away? She could expose it when she's leaving, or in November Sweeps. I mean, something big's going to happen then in regards to her, that's a given.

Speaking of which, it's kind of a weird timing for her to start to appear in July. Although that IS the timing of July Sweeps, those are usually the most underrated of all the sweeps. And as I recall nothing particular happened last July on screen. It would have made much more sense for her to appear again in May or better yet, November Sweeps as a big surprise.

Well to be fair she did become a simpering, whimpering mess in both parts of the Bristen s/l. I would have preferred if it was about her dealing with her past trauma and moving forward with her life than crying over Brady's dumb ass, lol. If they actually did go through with having Kristen openly (at least to the viewers) deal with whatever happened on the island it would have explained a little of why she was still acting like a nut and why she decided to reinvigorate her need for revenge on Marlena/John after giving up all those years ago. The writers could have made it so Kristen blame J&M for her island terrors and her prolonged mental instability.

It may not sound like it, but I'm really quite torn about Kristen from last year. I loved Bristen (for the most part), but I wanted Kristen's return to focus more on her and her family - not Brady and revenge on his family (which she gave up on 15 years ago, wtf writers?).

In the course of a week, we have learned Days will be around for two more years, AS is leaving, KDP is arriving soon and ED is returning. Short of an editing room snafu that forces the show to perform a live episode a la "Tootsie," I am not sure how much more good news I can handle from this show.
They could Soras a few of the kids, and bring back Shawn and maybe Belle, Claire.. Aside from that I feel they have a good mix.. And Im glad they are not forgetting the Value of many of our Vets.. But they do need to give Marlena More story, And honor the fact that she and John were hugely romantic, and They still can be and not waste them in simple talk and coffee..I much prefer their romance to that of Victor/Maggie.. Plus, I prefer the older age ranges on screen and in story.. from the mid 30's to the late 60's Maturity brings more depth, And its clear these writers dont write ""ROMANCE"" well.. Instead they turn to Sex. I do hope with the Vets there, and those returning they STOP dwelling on one story, One Couple.. And instead write for everyone. With John's return they need to have a romantic story reuniting him and Marlena, And Then putting him back in a position of Power in Salem like he always was..

They will have lots of chances to write for the younger group, A Love story for Ejabby and Ericole.. I could go without ever seeing a story with Jen and Dan . But she can bake or whatever.. And he can cure people

I could see her signing a short term contract, 3 to 6 months would be ideal for a storyline.
If it's 3 months it would make Eileen's/Kristen's exit about the same time as Ali's/Sami's (that's if ED begins taping in the beginning of March). This would be well.... well.... idk :shrug: explosive? disaster?.

When I'm thinking about it I don't want Kristen's storyline to be tied to Sami's too much.
Eileen Davidson starts taping in March of this year and will presumably start airing in July or August of this year. Alison Sweeney stops taping in December of this year and will presumably stop airing around May of next year. If, for argument's sake, we assume that Eileen is only going to be taping for six months, that would be March through September, which would mean that she would stop taping months before Alison does.

It is highly unlikely that Eileen's return has anything to do with Alison's departure.
Actually, Alison will tape her last scenes in May this year and will air until around October-November this year. So I think that Eileen will be with the show longer than Alison.

But also, I do think they will have some very interesting scenes together (actually love the fact that Kristen will be a round and in full-force when Sami will be leaving the show), but I don't think that Kristen will be the reason why Sami's leaving.
As for AS .. I just cant see ANY situation where Sami would leave her kids.. So she will either be killed off, or sent to Jail for something. Because I truly I believe she would never abandon them for ANY reason...

Well, what I hope and think is that at least this time her return will have nothing to do with John and Marlena. Sure, there'll be the usual snark and venom between her and Mar, but that should be it. No more catalystic revenges for Marlena's sake, or anything like that. Kristen should really concentrate on the present now, which I think she will.

She abandoned them when she ran off with EJ when he was accused of killing Stefano.
