It seems that all of this Bo/Hope, Hope/Aiden stuff has been a disaster ever since PR left. Whether or not PR was playing games with the producers since 2012 about a possible return, they never had to write out Bo the way they did. When it became clear circa late 2013 or early 2014 that Hope had to move forward without Bo, they should have let her search for him or something to find out just WTF happened instead of simply turning her into frowny-face who was abandoned. That was so uncharacteristic of Hope and of the entire Bo/Hope relationship and was mistake #1. Mistake #2 was then going with Haiden before Bo & Hope had a proper farewell. Hope could have found out that Bo died (or was supposedly dead) offscreen. That would have made the whole Haiden thing more tolerable all around. Mistake #3 was having PR use up two of his three month return in that torture-chamber and on the run, and then end up back in Salem for only 48 hours or so. If they had him back sooner, they could have written a heroic moment for him without the whole Aiden turning copycat necktie murderer nonsense. All in all, NO ONE seems to know how to write Days. So, now we have the Rope fail and Aiden either returning from the dead or being the victim of a body-switch, which is complete crap and makes all of the expedited, short-lived Bo return even MORE awful and infuriating than it already was for Bo/Bope fans. I blame the writers completely ... and instead of fixing their messes, they seem to dig deeper and deeper holes. All total fails. I think these are some of the reasons why old-school 50th anniversary returnees (meaning fans) have left the building once again. JMHO. |

IMO, it's not that Rafe & Hope are not working. I think the actors have chemistry. They're in a story line that makes both their characters look bad because they're trying to get away with murder and are taking it lightly a little too often, on top of that the show is trying to get in romantic overtones too quickly for Hope who lost two husbands in 24 hours in November. They're being completely isolated together over 95% of the time (even if I liked a couple a lot I wouldn't be able to stand that much isolation) which is further hindrance. I had nothing against them and now I want it dead & buried because of all this chit story thrown at them as "couple building". TBH, my ship is Hope in a sanitarium through Spring with Andre still having some "fun" with her, then Deimos & Hope building in summer/fall. I was rooting for Deimos to be Bo's kidnapper but if I'm rooting for Hope & Deimos to eventually be paired I got to let go of the kidnapping angle. I think DC is a good actor but I do hope this is a relatively short stint OR that they pass him off to Jennifer or whoever. |

He announced his departure at a fan event in June. He stated he was thrown under the bus so his fans could rally around him. Viewers had no idea about the plot line so he ruined it. Said nothing about his return this time because he got his job back |

My main issue if they do the Aiden doppleganger switch, is I cant think of a good time it couldve been done. We saw Aiden struggling, going back and forth between killing her and loving her for a couple of months. Even right up to the moment when he did it. Did they switch him with someone who also had a hard time doing it because he too fell in love with Hope? And who was that having sex with her on the wedding night? Aiden or doppleganger? And if the switch was later rather than sooner, and they keep the whole "stefano brought him to town to woo Hope" storyline, it still makes him a shady liar. idk. Personally, im not really looking forward to seeing a Haiden re-dux after all that happened with the 50th. I will never get those images of DC strangling KA onscreen, the shady feelings for me towards him will always be there. And all of that is me pushing my Bope stuff aside. But for the Bope aspect, it does feel like it cheapens the Bope reunion, as short as it was. If their goal was to have Haiden break up and then get back together after Bo died (aka, a Dannifer repeat), I wouldve preferred they went about it differently. So really, i wish they had just not brought him back at all. Unless its his twin and hes in town to be the next bad guy and nothing to do with Hope... I can get behind that |

I would take Haiden over Rope, I'd prefer Hope to get rested for 6 months but sadly I don't think that is happening. |

This seems positive for the Haiden fans. I hope so. I know that if it were my ship I wouldn't want to be played with and I don't trust days not to do a ghost thing. But I really hope Aiden is truly back because I like DC and I liked Aiden. I wasn't a superfan or anything, but I did enjoy him and I thought Haiden was good...just rushed. Part of my reason for being angry at days aside from what they did to Ericole was what they did to Aiden. |

Regardless, Days in the fall was ten times better than the drivel that's airing now. :shrug: |

I agree. Rafe is better for Hope over Aiden, but the writers have ruined the potential the last couple months . I don't understand why she just can't be a strong single woman Edited by elizhope, Feb 5 2016, 08:09 PM.

I like DC a lot. Loved him on AMC. He's definitely talented and charming. But I don't want Aiden back. Just didn't care that much about him or that pairing. I don't understand why they would do this. If he's just gonna be a ghost, that's fine, but is there really a big enough outcry for his return, if it's to put him back with Hope? I'm just not ready to go through the story of them trying to explain the whole thing. And after they explain it all, Hope's just going to marry him? Ugh, then what? Also, they went out of their way to have Hope feel guilty for believing Bo "abandoned" her, and moved on so fast with Aiden. Now they'd just be reminding me how much I hated Hope for that. This reeks. We'll never find out most likely, but I'd love to know if this was something planned all along, from the time they decided to bring Bo/PR back. |

I was open to Rope but the show has killed them for me. They've pretty much killed Hope as well, I just can't stand the sight of her. |

I agree BUT they can brush it under the rug by not showing a flashback of the times he was pausing prior to and during the strangling. My opinion is that no publication is revealing that DC is back with a contract and no publication is saying he's back for a short stint SO maybe it lands somewhere in the middle. Maybe he's back playing an Aiden doppelganger hired by Andre who ends up staying in Salem for a while. |

Here's my take. As far as Steve searching for Bo and not for Kayla, Bo had left years worth of footprints and clues. With Kayla, who'd only been missing a matter of hours, there were no footprints or clues other than a found charm and a quick confession by Ava. Bo was seen by mutual friends and contacts, had letters written on his behalf, had his picture taken with a mysterious woman, and had been followed by both the ISA and Victor's people. He'd even been in contact with his family during his absent years. When Steve came to Salem, no one was looking for Bo and at that point, time was not of the essence. Steve put the pieces together, gathered the clues, and even got motivated by Caroline's visions before heading out and following the trail to Bo. With Kayla, time was most definitely of the essence and Steve didn't have the luxury of using that time to exhaust leads and attempt to follow a trail that didn't exist, all while keeping a sharp eye on Ava. Steve chose to focus on Ava. He knew her well enough to know that if the mafia princess doesn't want anyone found, it''s pretty much a guarantee they won't be. Before Joe caught his dad in the act, Steve was so close to finding out where Kayla was. He took a frantic and foolish gamble and lost. In his desperate way of thinking, all he had to do was work Ava into a lusty frenzy and he'd get the information he needed. He took the chance and it backfired, but who's to say it wouldn't have worked if Joe hadn't walked in. In pointing out that Steve is former ISA and now a PI, it's easy to forget that he's also a former member of the Vatali organization. In his missing years, he was heavily involved with the Vatali's, hence his relationship with Ava. He's well educated on how they operate and he knows Ava was trained by the best. If he or anyone else had searched publically or discreetly, there was no guarantee Ava wouldn't grow suspicious and her first course of action would be to kill the hostage. No hostage, no witness, no proof of wrong doing. If Ava had help in getting Kayla to the sweat box, then all she would have to do is give the signal to her goon to get rid of the hostage. Or, she could simply plead the fifth if arrested and bide her time until she had no doubt Kayla was dead. She had an endless pool to pull from in replacing Kayla. She could simply move on to Joey, then Stephanie, then Adrienne, etc. I tend to think that Steve didn't ask for proof of life because he knows Ava better than anyone, just as he knows the mob mentality. It was logical to think Ava wouldn't tip the scales by killing off her leverage only to have to go through the trouble of kidnapping someone else in order to keep him in check. Ava was holding an ace and she wasn't about to waste it. I didn't interpret it as Ava actually sending Joe to find Kayla. She told him where to find her, but didn't stipulate that he was the one who had to go and/or go alone to get her. Once he had the information, Joe could have called his Uncle Roman, his Aunt Hope, or even his group of friends to go with him, but as a desperate son, he apparently took off by himself at the speed of light in order to find his mother. IMO, I don't see where Steve had any other choice but to accept Ava's constantly changing terms. If he didn't, he believed Kayla would surely die. Sadly enough, I do think there were scenes cut that could have answered some of these issues because I choose to believe that no one could possibly be such an incompetent, inept writer. I realize that's wishful thinking on my part because obviously, proof is in the pudding. |

About Joey. He never should have been left alone and in a position to go get Kayla alone. Leaving him and going off with Ava for who knows how long and halfway across the world is one of the things I'm most upset with Steve over. And I would be furious if I was Kayla. Even if he didn't want the alarm the family he could have called John who would have kept it quiet about Kayla and what Steve was doing. |
