I'm starting to not believe him, lol
I don't blame you. It feels like CS has been saying that for so long now and we are still waiting to see a change on screen. But since Days tapes so far ahead, it makes sense. For a long time, he was saying stuff about the storylines on the show getting good with the new writers but it was very general, not specific. It's only this fall that he started to make comments about Paul's storyline getting good. I think one of the first times he said something encouraging was at the Nashville fan event (I think it was early October?). On periscope he thanked the fans for the support and said that it was definitely helping him (have more story or get more airtime), so he must have seen a positive change around that time.

I'm gonna guess that Cosgrove isn't back for anything about Hope at all. Maybe just a ghost or dream thing for Chase.
You may be right. That would be the best idea, I think.

I wasn't around for Haiden, but I watched some clips this past weekend to see what they were all about. Seemed to me that the story of Aiden killing Meredith for her money had real potential. But even though there was plenty of evidence to support that story, it was quickly dropped for the Chase-accidentally-killed-his-mom-and-Aiden-had-to-protect-his-son angle instead. That made no sense. And Hope the detective just took Aiden's word for it, instead of fully investigating? The whole weeks-long buildup to Aiden the murderer was resolved in like one episode? B.S. Besides the Meredith/cabin story, the rest of Haiden was quite a snoozefest, not to mention that they totally threw Bo under the bus and ignored decades of history to facilitate it.

I think if DC is back short-term, they should revisit the murder of Meredith and show that Aiden actually DID kill her, which makes his whole turn on Hope much more logical and gets Chase off the hook for his mom's death. But I doubt that will happen. Knowing Days, DC is back long-term and they will be going with the impostor story instead. Storywise, that is just blah ... but good for the Haiden fans, I guess, so: :cheers:

I don't think DC would be getting a cover story for a few flashbacks or dream sequences. I like Jason's guess about s last minute switch with an imposter when he refused to kill Hope. I would love to think the ongoing twitter/email, etc campaign to get DC back will actually have a reward. Lord knows Rope isn't being well received. I love this news!
Sure he would. Especially if they think it would create speculation and curiosity enough to get people to buy it.
Yeah. Disregarding what I wrote in a post above, I actually believe that it is probably all much ado about nothing.

On goody, maybe Haiden can sell more goodies together. And maybe Andre can add a poisonous ingredient to their recipe just before Aiden, Hope and Rafe do a taste test!

Thank you JCP.

Is it possible that the woman on the beach is Chase's mother?

Anything is possible but why would Daniel's heart be dreaming about her?

Now I'm even more confused why they cut the scene of Chase going to Aiden's grave from yesterday's episode. Wouldn't that be important build-up to Aiden returning in either ghost or man form?

nothing wrong with character redemption....it's nice to see change....hoping more change for the better is coming.... but no Daniel's heart in Brady causing the change please
The only way I see her reverting back to her old ways is if she has to do it to save Brady or Tate.
The problem with Theresa's redemption was that it was overnight. Victor and Kate are big meanies picking on poor, defenseless Theresa. :rolleyes: It was poorly written and forced. She was never even shown to apologize to John.
What exactly did Theresa do to get redeemed anyway? Become a fashion designer? I still don't get it.

We're missing something obvious here though. With the kick off of a Griffith story repeat from Y&R and the return of a character (I think there are some more returns coming too) we may finally be on our way out of Dena'a reign of terror. Dena's stuff kicked in around the time the fallout of Aiden and Bo and Ben should have started...so maybe we'll get to hit some of those kisses beats? Maybe?
Well that's an excellent point and maybe he realized he needed to add something to the Aiden and Ben exits.

This has been my thought for a long time now. If Josh had stayed in control after November, I think we would have gotten much more fallout on a lot of stories. The fallout we did get was, like, a one episode wrap-up. Just terrible writing.

Chase's mother, "Meredith Jennings" was already seen on the show in a video she left behind at Aiden's beach house on Puget Sound -- the video that Hope found in a drawer there.

Meredith was played by Julie Tolivar.

Also, Marie Wilson's prior stint on Days was as Meredith's best friend "Bree".

DC got so much airtime during his final weeks on the show, a lot more than PR. Why did the writers spend so much time assassinating this character? It was not necessary for the rescue to happen on the 50th.
To make it a whole story? It's really not that complicated.
What's not complicated to me is to see that ultimately Rope was the main goal and the reason for everything. That's why they started inserting scenes showing that Rafe was falling for Hope in the final TomSell months already, it was not to prepare Bo's return. Having Bo coming back and rescuing Hope from the evil Aiden was great for the fans and for the 50th but I think it was very much with the idea that they had to close the Bope story and the Aiden story to make Rope happen. They even used Bo in a scene with Rafe where he gave him his blessing to be Hope's new man.
:rolleyes:
Right, because they were setting up what would happen AFTER Bo's return and Aiden's death. The fact that Rope was being set up before Aiden's death doesn't mean that Rope was the cause of Aiden's death. The only reason that Aiden had to be killed off was because of the stuff surrounding Bo's return. It was absolutely not necessary to set up Rope. Sometimes the easiest explanation really is the right one.

At times I wonder (and I guess there is no way we'll know for sure unless KA or GG spill something) if the early Rope scenes were inserted in there because Days thought that they might not be able to get PR to return for the 50th, so they started driving a story potential to have Rafe come in and be her night in shining armor instead of Bo. Then PR agreed on a limited run and the story shifted a little bit. Of course if PR would have agreed to a longer stint, we would have obviously seen Rope/Bope now....IMHO Aiden was always supposed to turn bad, it was a matter of when not if to me. The way they wrote the story they had him admitting to certain things, 'being a bad husband', 'money issues', then the ex wife's video, didn't her sister also think he was a horrible person. It was always in the plan IMHO...If PR wouldn't have returned Rope would have been and item and he would have saved her from Aiden's evil clutches.

One of my speculations about her is that maybe Chase was adopted by Aiden and his wife and this Summer girl and Daniel are his biological parents. Probably not the case but just a guess.

If I'm not mistaken, last year GG said that he was going to have a summer romance, but that never happened. Also, last June, before we found out DC had been fired, I think there was a bunch of stuff happening on screen and hints in the spoilers that Aiden was going bad. So, yes, I think the plan was always for Aiden to go bad, but TomSell would have had Rafe be the hero. PR's return just delayed the inevitable Rope.

At this point I think it matters not what the plans we're, or why things were done. It's painfully obvious that Rope is not being well received by many & PR has no interest in returning. I'm hoping that TPTB has figured that out & regardless of the original plans, Haiden is destined for a reunion. Bye Rafe!

Dena's stuff kicked in around the time the fallout of Aiden and Bo and Ben should have started...so maybe we'll get to hit some of those kisses beats? Maybe?
I was just saying yesterday I sensed a little more Griffith, particularly in the Philip/Belle stuff.

The next few weeks will be interesting because I think we will be seeing more than just a bunch of cut scenes. We will likely be seeing more of his stories and then maybe some Beth influence as well, kind of like how Dena's stuff slowly started to trickle in and then it became all her.

What will also be interesting is what they do with Aiden. If they start playing beats that should've been played in November, it will be yet another sign of the writing power struggle. Also, I'm curious to see what stories get suddenly dropped. The Basic Black shift has me wondering if this is how Griffith wanted it all along...Kate taking Basic Black and Theresa and Nicole being on their own and competing against Kate. That makes more sense and has more story than all three of them together at the same company bickering and it going nowhere. That has Higley written all over it.

How much in the way of story suddenly ending or doing a 180 should be interesting and should give us insight into what Higley was behind and what Griffith is and may have wanted all along.
