If the wording of this tweet means anything story-wise, I'm totally going to hate the fallout. Not that I expected any better from Days, but still...

[twitter=officialnichols/status/695682930908250112]
I don't want Kayla to forgive Steve too soon, she's gonna look weak. :-/
I don't want this to have anything to do with Steve being raped by Ava, and the show calling it "cheating." Beyond gross.

Steve better f-up some other way, too, because having the victim "make things right?" Hell no.
I get that he did it to save Kayla's life but the way it happened, it didn't feel like a last resort, like an act of desperation. He didn't try to look for her first. He could have at least told Roman to look for her after he left town with Ava. He could have tried to torture Ava, I'm sure the ISA formed him to do that. And there was no guarantee that Ava would release Kayla after she got what she wanted. I don't see it as cheating but I see it as a stupid decision that he knows wouldn't be approved by Kayla. I hope she's mad at him.
This, "He didn't do enough" argument rings too close to "You shouldn't have worn that dress." Both arguments don't negate sexual assault in any way. Sorry, not a valid argument to me at all.

is Andre's revenge actually sick..or is it justified?
It's sick because he's using a troubled & confused teen as a pawn in his revenge game.

I totally agree.

Kayla has plenty to be angry about and so does Joe, even if Steve was raped.

He searched the world for Bo but couldn't search Salem for Kayla?
He risked Joe walking in on him with Ava (knowing Joe would be back any second)
He had Ava handcuffed and was able to make calls freely while she was asleep. Didn't send a search party for Kayla. He's former ISA & a private investigator, he has a lot of resources and knows how to be discreet. He didn't even TRY.
He never asked for proof that Kayla was even alive.
He allowed Ava to send Joe to find Kayla- what if something was done to Joe
He kept accepting promises from a madwoman who he knew was lying to him left and right. And that was before he was raped.

That's not any kind of effort to find Kayla at all. He was careless, passive and heartless in fact.
The worst part of this story is what it's done to the character of Steve...I want to believe he can recover, but my faith in these writers is nil.

IF it's revealed that he did have someone looking for Kayla the whole time (which we haven't seen) that would go a long way for me...but it's still
going to be very hard for me to get past this.

I don't want this to have anything to do with Steve being raped by Ava, and the show calling it "cheating." Beyond gross.

Steve better f-up some other way, too, because having the victim "make things right?" Hell no.
I get that he did it to save Kayla's life but the way it happened, it didn't feel like a last resort, like an act of desperation. He didn't try to look for her first. He could have at least told Roman to look for her after he left town with Ava. He could have tried to torture Ava, I'm sure the ISA formed him to do that. And there was no guarantee that Ava would release Kayla after she got what she wanted. I don't see it as cheating but I see it as a stupid decision that he knows wouldn't be approved by Kayla. I hope she's mad at him.
This, "He didn't do enough" argument rings too close to "You shouldn't have worn that dress." Both arguments don't negate sexual assault in any way. Sorry, not a valid argument to me at all.
I don't think that's the same thing. :blink:

It's just hard for me to believe that Steve really felt coerced to have sex with Ava because of the way it was written.

It is the same thing. You're basically saying that Steve made bad decisions or stupid mistakes before he ever ended up in that room with Ava. He didn't look for Kayla, he didn't tell the police, he didn't do this or that. And all of that may be totally true. He made bad choices and bad decisions.

But when he was in that room, he knew that Kayla had been missing for at least three days without food or water (Ava told him that on Tuesday). Sure, he could have refused, but there was a pretty good chance that Kayla would have died before they got to her. His best chance, even if there was no guarantee, was to do what Ava demanded. Ava told him she had all the power and that Kayla's life was in his hands. Regardless of the bad decisions that put him in that situation, he was forced to have intercourse with Ava to save Kayla's life.

That's no different than a woman who makes bad decisions that put her in a dangerous situation. You can criticize those decisions if you want, but it doesn't make the guy who forces her to have sex (or has sex with her without her consent) any less of a rapist.

speaking for my post along similar lines (which you weren't replying to, I know)...I was blaming Steve (well the writers) for his passiveness and stupidity beforehand and not for the rape.
It was a separate issue.

I couldn't care less about what happened with Ava -it was such a stupid plot device. What bothered me is ruining Steve before they got to that point. He is smarter than this,
and he loves Kayla more than this. And Kayla's anger at him would not be misplaced for THOSE actions.
The situation with Joe alone is enough to be VERY angry about.
