Got another question for you all!

I found some of 2008 Ireland stuff on YT. So, Colleen was Shawn's sister who was in love with Santo Dimera (Stefano's brother?) and had his son - John Black, right? But now John is looking for his parents, so what happened to this whole Ireland story??

Thanks again in advance!
They made Colleen a liar all so Brady and Theresa could date. Nice way to treat a late Brady relative, and Shirley Jones no less!!
The whole Colleen thing crapped on past storylines so I can't say I was sad to see it get the same treatment!

A random question; which did you hate more, the Langan era or the Tomsell era. For me it is Tomsell hands down. I remember the anger at Langan back in the early 2000s and jubilation when he was fired, but 2014 is hands down the worse year ever for me.
TomSell!

I liked alot of the Langan era. Yeah the Salem High gang got too much airtime but I loved everything with Victor, Kate, Nicole, Sami, Brandon, Lexie, Stefano.

To be fair, they didn't make it so Colleen knowingly lied. Just that whoever told her that her son had been adopted by the Alamains had either lied or been mistaken.
I still prefer the Daphne DiMera story for John's backstory but that's two rewrites ago lol
It really was perfect imo, it respected the alamain backstory and created a plausible explanation for how John ended up in the Dimera orbit. I wonder how things would have turned out if Brash and Cwikly had been allowed to remain instead of having Higley 1/JER 2.
Replacing Brash and Cwikly with Higley was one of the biggest mistakes Corday ever made. The show has never recovered from it IMO.

Wasn't he the one whose brilliant idea was to have the Gemini twins be aliens?
I still pretend that entire storyline plus Rex/Cassie dont exist. I dont know why, but I hated all of it.

Love the actors, and if they had just been in Salem as newbies and not "Kate/Roman stolen chem lab made alien babies by Stefano when Roman was "dead" carried by Marlena when she was "dead" or whenever their reconed conception/birth happened... I probably wouldve liked them

Honestly, I would have wrote that WN's Roman and Kate had a past relationship while John was being Roman and the twins were conceived like that shortly after Kate had Lucas. Not being able to handle three children, she gave them up for adoption after she got pregnant and WN Roman disappeared. No Marlena giving birth to them or them being test tube babies.

Thanks for the recaps everyone. So Philip has one leg? I guess they changed that at some point or is he an amphibian? Lmao
Hogan Sheffer had Phil magically regrow his leg in like 2007, I think. LOL
No, he only had one leg in 2007 and 2008. We even saw him take off his prosthetic leg after the plane crash. It was when Tomlin was EP that he told Jay he didn't have to limp anymore.

I have a question. Has Brady ever acknowledged Bo as his uncle? I know he considers himself to be Shawn Sr.'s son but I was just wondering. I thought Isabella and Bo were pretty close and John and Bo are close. So why hasn't this been seen in the past? I know it won't be brought up now that Bo is dead and Hope is losing it, but I was wondering about it.
Bo and Brady had alot of scenes together in 2004 after Victor's "death".

Did Sami ever find out about Kate and Lucas framing her?
Yes, that was the whole reason for the tape storyline in 2000-2001 (which I loved). Sami and Brandon found out that Roberto's ex-girlfriend Angela had a tape of Kate paying Roberto on his death bed to confess to Franco's murder.

They decided to lock the tape in a safe if Lucas signed over custody of Will.

Those who know the truth about Franco's murder are: Kate, Lucas, Sami, Brandon, Austin, Victor, Nicole and Mickey.

Do we know that Dena's returned?
Yes. Her name was on the cover for one of the April scripts in a pic with MBE and SN.
I don't really know for sure, but I always thought when you were on an LOA your name still appeared in the credits (and scripts). But I'm really not sure.

The whole situation with the LOA is really weird since they haven't come out and said if she's back or not (or what is going on).

Well I did hate Langan so much. As for TomSell I despised them so much that because of how they trashed Bo I quit watching totally. And did not return until I read PR/Bo was coming back and that Peter liked the story and was excited. So TomSell won by default as the worst since there was no PR/Bo to keep me staying tuned even when I hated the story.

I despised Langan for many of the same reasons I despise a lot of writers from JER on.......too much reliance on gimmicks. Too black and white. Damsel in distress overkill. Maddona (heroines) vs whore (female villains) mentality with women.
Men too easily manipulated by the women who were villains. Plot drive vs character driven....and I like the latter. And the very obvious pushing of their own favorites......may as well have hung signs over them, "The HW loves me...." That seems to have plagued many shows IMO.
What was Langan's big story? I wasn;t on the boards then, so I have no idea why people hate him. LOL
The main reasons people hated Langan were the teens taking over the show and the horrible Garden of Eden storyline with Austin/Greta. Langan also brought back an adult Brady with un-explainable hatred towards Marlena and generally did a number on the Black family. The soap opera boards absolutely HATED Him, it truly rivaled the hate people have for Tomsell. However looking back the show really wasn't that bad at all comparatively speaking. The best things he did imo were evil Lexie, Brandon/Sami, revamping Nicole and Greta's Coronation. I also really liked how he introduced Chloe, but not everyone was a fan of that.

Was thinking about this today:

In the span of about a year and a half, JJ's slept with Paige, Paige's aunt Theresa, Paige's mom Eve, and will soon likely be schtupping Paige's half-sister Gabi.

Is there another character who has slept with so many people who are related to each other?

Theresa and JJ were heavy petting. She overdosed before they could actually do anything. But yeah. Looks like JJ is too close to the Hernandez/Donovan family.

I think people get used to having the prosthetic leg to the point where they no longer limp anymore, especially when it's a good fit/model. And lets face it, he's a Kiriakis... he's gonna have the best :lol: so really Philip doesn't always need to do it.

Would they need to credit Dena for scripts while she's on leave of absence -- if some of Dena's longterm ideas are being used in those scripts?

I have no idea how this works, I'm just curious.
She's taken a LOA, and she hasn't been fired. She still holds the position as head writer, so yes, her name will be on the scripts. It's the way it works. If she holds the title of head writer, but is on an extended leave, she still receives credit because technically she is still a head writer on the show. Even if her influence is not there, if she is still retaining her job, she will get credit.

It's funny, she was a scab, and yet she is protected by the union she backstabbed. Life isn't fair, is it?

Someone actually did mention on the show in recent months that they didn't have the death penalty anymore. Maybe in reference to Chad when they thought he was the killer?
Ben seems to think the death penalty was abolished. Chad seems afraid of it.

Thursday 10/22/15

Ben: Sorry, man, when I start thinking about that son of a bitch DiMera, I just lose it sometimes, you know? I mean, the guy killed three people. They should bring back the death penalty just for him, and let's not forget that he tried to kill Will's grandmother. Yeah.

Rafe: And you said he broke into your apartment and went after you, too.

Ben: What do you mean I said it? Abigail came home and found me unconscious. I'm lucky I'm not the one in a coma.

Rafe: Relax, I'm just making a statement, okay?

Ben: It sounded like you didn't believe me.

Rafe: Well, why wouldn't I?

Ben: Rafe, I don't know. I mean, with my dad getting taken away like that, I get a little paranoid sometimes.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Well, let's just wait and see what Chad says when he wakes up.


http://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/days/older/2015/trans-da-10-22-15.shtml

-------------------------------

Thursday 10/29/15

Chad: It's--it's gone. Like, I try to remember and I just--I-I hit a wall, like it was never there. Why can't I remember?

Aiden: What did the doctor say?

Chad: That it happens. My memories might come back, or not, like I might go to prison, or not. If Justin has his way, I'll get the--I'll get the death penalty. When did he decide that I was such a monster? Why is this happening?

Aiden: Listen to me, listen to me. You need to stay calm. You need to stay focused. Let me take care of you. That is my job. I'm gonna make sure that you do not go down for this, but most important, you have to keep your mouth shut.

After waiting all those years for John and Marlena to get married, all Langan could come up with was an obnoxious rewritten Brady coming home to ruin the family. I hated that beyond words.

Bo and Isabella didn't know each other very long, did they? Maybe a year or two from the time they found out they were bio-siblings until her death? Does anyone know the length of time?
No one knew her very long. She was only around a few years.
Thanks. Next question: After Bo found out that Isabella was his sister, how many months was she still alive, and did they even have time to become close? I remember her being closest friends with Jack, but I don't remember if she bonded with Bo.

I think you just might be right. I just tried a quick tally and thought of several characters who have been involved with two members of the same family: Nicole, Sami, Carrie, Austin, Kate, Daniel, Lucas, Kayla, Doug, Billie, Abby, Nick, Shane, Laura & Victor, without even overly concentrating. Four though? JJ might be the big....ummmm...winner?

Isabella was revealed to be Victor's daughter during the Cruise of Deception in July of 1990. Isabella died in November of 1992, I think.

So, she was around for about two years after she and Bo found out they were siblings. But Bo was gone for a little while in the spring of 1992 (that's when PR left and RKK took over).

There was a storyline in 1991 when Bo wanted to be a private detective again and Isabella offered to back him and be his partner. Roman didn't like the idea, but I think they did actually work together for a little while. Then Bo got the disease that Lawrence was spreading around and their storylines went in different directions.

So, I think they did bond a little bit. But they were never shown to have become really close or anything,
