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?
Who knows how many "patients" Daniel had before he came to Salem.

Ok, this is off topic, but I was watching a a movie on Hallmark Channel called "All things Valentine" and I have been trying to find out the name and singer of the song playing in the last scene of the movie. Anybody watch the movie and would happen to know the name of the song?

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 never even apologized to John.
With all due respect, the problem with Theresa's redemption was that it never happened. The show wrote Victor & Kate as "bullies" to her with Nicole as her cheerleader. They're writing Belle as a shrew/bitch to make Theresa seem like the golden character they WANT her to be. They even threw shade on Shane & Kim as "bad/neglectful parents" to try to garner sympathy for her. Hell, the Basic Black storyline was written with the sole purpose of trying to redeem her by making her a fashion designer & when we saw her crap -vs- the competition (what Gabi & Paul were wearing that Kate thought was fashionable (and never sorry, but Kate has the fashion sense of a sea otter)) it was clear that the models would have looked better in burlap sacks.

To me, there's no chance of redemption...but if they were to even remotely begin, she'd have to apologize to John for trying to kill him twice, apologize to Brady for letting him think he was the one who hit John, apologize to Vargas, JJ, and especially to Xander for basically accusing him of attempted rape and sending him to prison. Her list of crimes is long, her list of apologies is non-existent.



And all of this is my opinion - I don't have inside info on the writers motives, I wish I did...but this is how I see it and I won't ever buy that it worked.

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 still say if Nicole isn't paired with Dario, I don't mind him gay and paired with Paul

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 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!
I for one like Rafe and Hope together but don't like the way they've set it up with Stefano's murder and cover-up. I'd take Rafe any day over Aiden and found Haiden painfully boring. I seriously doubt they are reuniting.

They are trying to tell us she is redeemed, but they haven't shown anything that would support that. Are those scenes on the cutting room floor or are they just being lazy & not even bothering? I'm guessing the latter. We should just take their word for it & forget about all those apologies we never saw.

NuBelle is having the same problem. Why is she so bitchy & disconnected? Again, we're being told that she cries all the time, but we're not seeing anything remotely like that.

Theresa is a victim of poor storyline and real bad storytelling in general, I have a feeling that they wanted to make a Theresa resembled Sami at first but they failed completely and honestly why matching Theresa with the idiot Brady? Yikes Theresa had far more more chemistry with JJ. Belle feels like a different character now I remember her as the sweet little girl :) I have nothing against bitchy attitude but it does not fit Belle, that's the problem, it does not feel realistic when it comes from Belle. IMO

I wish I could get invested in this show again, but it is boring me to death and I dont see the CDC/May Sweeps storyline bringing me in either. I'm not digging Belle/Shawn/Phillip, Steve/Kayla/Ava, Andre/Rafe/Hope, Kate/Eduardo, etc.

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:
I don't think there were inserts that early. It was definitely TomSell writing when Rafe first started falling for Hope. Remember in the summer when people thought that Josh and Dena were dropping Rafe from Haiden's story because Bo was coming back.

I agree. And even if by some miracle they decided to have her apologize to John now, it's way too late and wouldn't mean a thing to me. I'll never like her or root for her.

If the rumors about Dario are true, then I think Paul will be used more. :)
I don't think those rumors are true at all, though. Would be nice, but I ain't gettin' my hopes up.

I don't think Belle being a bitch has ANYTHING to do with Theresa. :shrug:

I did say that her "redemption" was poorly written. :) Frankly, I prefer Theresa as a "witch" than the put upon victim.
