How old is Brady again? He always acts like a petulant child.
He's pathetic. I hope he gets drunk and drives head on into a tree. Truly, no character deserves it more. His whole pity party personality is so OTT. Where does he get this idea that John was not around for his childhood, which btw is eons ago considering he's a middle aged man now :blulaugh:
Hate how these writers have to rewrite history. Anyone that's watched this show faithfully knows that John was always there for his son.
Didn't Jarlena send young Brady to boarding school? My memory could be playing tricks on me, but I vaguely remember Sorased Brady coming home from Boarding school angry and resentful toward Marlena. That is probably what they are referring to.

I forgot to mention that Days has awesome and expressive kid actors. They should use them more often. The kid playing Allie is awesome and the twins that play Johnny are great, not to mention Ciara. They should have these kids on more often and have them involved in their parents s/l.

I still question where Hope should be questioning one cousin about killing one of her other cousins
Out of all the cops in Salem (i.e., Hope, Roman, & Rafe), it makes the most sense for it to be Hope because she's got the most drive & determination to find out who killed Nick. Yes, it's technically conflict-of-interest, but it's a soap - pretty much everyone's related to someone who's involved with someone who's related to more people.
We've seen Hope be almost too professional during her witness interviews. I think it's partly her way of trying to ensure that family relations aren't taken into question during a trial. And partly, it's a coping strategy she's using. The only time we've seen Hope show any emotion was when she was either alone, or listening to the message Nick left for Marlena. If Hope keeps suppressing her feelings, they're eventually gonna explode - and I'm hoping that it's Aiden who's there to comfort her.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Hope being so involved in this murder investigation influences other parts of her life - will Ciara feel like she's not getting her mom's attention again? will Hope be on edge and snapping at people for insignificant things? will she continue to try to hide her emotions about Nick's death, her guilt about not talking to Nick that night, and the stresses of the investigation?
It's not a technical conflict of interest. It's a huge conflict of interest and it shows. Hope is acting so unprofessionally. She's blind to anything except what she knows about people Nick hated and who hated Nick. The way she's dealing with Lucas, Will and Sonny shows that she's operating from a place of emotion rather than logic.
Truth. Hope was a real bitch to Lucas. I get the idea of being a tough cop, but it was personal for her. She is obviously letting her personal feelings get in the way which I can understand. But it only emphasizes that she should not be running the investigation.

i love how "no church wedding" means every other Catholic belief of his is being thrown out the window. Oh well, he's been ultra-religious long enough. They really need to get a chip in his brain so he can portray bad for a while.

Wow, what a let down, I've been waiting for Ericole and I felt like there was no chemistry there. Super BOO

So John just shows up to act like an asshat. Whatevs.

JJ and Paige are absolute snoozeville, why waste the screentime on something not even as good as Sweet Valley High?

Sami and EJ...the worst.

The Nick story is really lame when you think that no one really had a true reason to kill him, and of all of those suspects Lucas is hardly the first choice.

I don't understand how Hope can lead this investigation when she's related to half of the suspects. Oh Salem PD, you never fail to amaze!

What is with this re-written history of John not having been there for Brady as a kid? It makes no sense, historically. But what concerns me is that John doesn't reply with the equivelant of "what the fuck are you talking about?" That tells me that the writers truly think that John wasn't there for Brady, and that John himself feels guilty about it. Since when? John was there for every second of Brady's childhood from a Days perspective. It is just so grating, and another attempt at assassinating John's character.
It's all about the writers trying to make Brady interesting by destroying John and giving Brady a reason to be a a drug addict. Because in reality he has no reason for being one other than he likes taking drugs.

Oh -- just to point out something that probably didn't bother anyone else, the way that the writers had Theresa find out that J.J. was on a date was really contrived and lame, IMO. He didn't really say anything to her that would have given her a good reason to look outside, see a random girl talking on a cell phone, and instantly deduce that he was on a date with that girl. There's smart, and then there's psychic. The writers often did the same thing with Nick, and I really hope that they aren't going to keep finding ways to keep the trend going now that Nick's dead.

I liked Marlena being there for Allie, but I wish she had been the one to hug and comfort her grand-daughter instead of Ej.

I can't get into Ericole even with the pretty lines Eric said to Nicole. Besides the moment being completely tainted, I feel Nicole's fabulously fun sass is lost forever.

If they are going to bring out John have it mean more. He should be concentrating on Marlena.

Why is Brady such a child? Will they ever write him as a man?

Hope isn't messing around with Lucas is she? Dayum! She's got her sights on you bub. Actually its kinda fun having Lucas on the hot seat for the crime. I don't believe he did it, but its an entertaining route on the way to the truth.




I wish Elvis hadn't even been in that scene with Marlena and Allie.

Nicole is becoming another sad clown character like Jennifer. :o

John should have somehow tricked Marlena onto his plane and took off on his Kristen search with her!

Brady is a five year old in a middle aged man's body. And now he'll probably get Jeanie pregnant and he'll blame john for that too. :rolleyes:

imo, Nick's murder would be the perfect opportunity to introduce a new cop character to investigate & interact with other characters
Um... or they could have just used Abe or Roman........?
With Sami and Will as two of the major suspects along with work colleague Rafe, Roman's probably not a great choice either.

Bring back Tek.
Yes, that's exactly what this show needs, another light-skinned African American himbo model who can't act! LOL, but you're right, it would be nice to have a couple generic doctors, lawyers and cops with no ties to other characters or core families.
If they want a tough interrogator who hates everyone they should bring back Pat Hamilton :blulaugh:

I'm gonna get slammed here but chemistry is subjective. Am I an Ericole fan girl? Yes. Did they steam up the mirrors and make the candles wilt? No. I don't think they were meant to. I think it was meant to be sweet and to prove when it comes to Nicole Eric's gonna cave.As far as chemistry it was there. Nicole has better chemistry with Victor then anyone but I sure as hell don't wanna see that love scene.

i love how Hope is zeroing in on Lucas b/c he was "the only one in the square with a criminal record using deadly force", meanwhile Sami, EJ, and Kate were there, lol. What, b/c they weren't convicted of shooting anyone, they don't count?

Edit: not to MENTION the numerous people outside the square at the time of the shooting who could have committed the crime.
Yea, why on earth do the cops think murderers hang around at the town square after committing a murder? Why do they think the murderer was at HTS just because Nick was looking at a group of people?

His sorased history was total nonsense. When he first came back he was resentful of both John and Marlena and especially of Belle. He called belle their golden child and was determined to destroy belle in their eyes. Then over night they changed it to him only hating Marlena. First they said he was away at baseball camp, then they changed it so that it was a boarding school. It was like a schizophrenic was writing. It was ridiculous.

Marlena didn't raise well adjusted kids. Brady is a hot mess, Sami is totally self destructive and Eric is so wishy washy. I guess Carrie is a model child if you ignore the compulsive cheating. I don't know Bell that well so she might be Marlena's bright spot as a mom.


Belle is a cheater too LOL. All the daughters that Marlena have raised are cheaters LOL. Makes one wonder why. Then again, I have always thought Marlena is a lousy mother.

OMG these Ejami "we are one big happy family" scenes are so contrived and pathetic. I can't wait for those two to be off my screen once and for all.
.
Brady grow the fuck up.

Theresa and JJ were a waste of screen time.

An honest hit man who gives back the contract money? Really?

Please get Gabi out of that horrible top and get that bun off the top of her head.

While I love Hope when she does this with the bad guys and Sami... sometimes (and this is probably my only criticism of Kristian's acting choices ever) I think she should dial it back a bit with other suspects.
She just goes a little too hard.
I still stand by my belief that Hope's going OTT because she fears that she'll become emotional if she doesn't. She's overcompensating to keep her feelings inside. And I think she's starting to get annoyed that everyone she's interviewed has tried to lie to her about something. I also think her guilt about putting off talking to Nick is driving her desire to solve the case.
That's why she has no business investigating this murder. It clouds her professional judgment and it makes her look bad. I have great respect for Rafe for recognizing that he's too close to this murder to be an objective detective. Hope has shown time and again that she's taking this too personally and it's clouding her objectivity. As a police officer you're there for the public not to assuage your guilt over your murdered cousin.
I would not give Rafe too much credit. It irritates me that he pressured Will to confess to Hope about the fight, yet he has yet to confess to Hope that he punched Nick himself. I don't see him volunteer any information that could incriminate him or his sister. Rafe had a strong motive to kill Nick too. He wanted to protect his sister.
