I find JL's acting more tolerable when Theresa is written like she is right now. However, the downside to that is that the character is absolutely pointless. She feels completely excessive. I'm not sure what I'd do with her (outside of writing her out), but she's better in this kind of role. But I'm not sure this kind of role really has a place on the canvas. Maybe if she had a parent on canvas, but I'm not willing to except PP for that. I'd take that deal if it involved her father.

LOL. Well, I actually wouldn't have considered Hope's a wedding dress. I mean..she wore it for the wedding obviously but still. In that realm, I also liked Marlena's in 2006. I don't love that dress of Carrie's, but I do think that might be the most beautiful Carrie has every looked. I actually almost mentioned her, because I do like the overall look. I don't care for Chloe's... Posted Image

Who is the man standing up for Victor with Nicole and Faye?
If Abby has PTSD - and maybe postpartum depression too? -, will they remember Jack's PTSD and his book?
I have not seen today's episode, but high on painkillers Jennifer sounds fun! Is it as good as Jennifer at the pot donut book club?

I like the chemistry between her and KM. Much more than I do with her and AZ.

I was against moving Kate to Deimos. Even temporarily. But she's better with him than Eduardo and it's kind of cool with him destroying Philip.
Kate not taking the money is good too. I hated the thought of them, but I do like that he might get involved in BB. I know she said no, but I think she's going to change her mind. I guess what I really like is a possible Nicole against Kate/Deimos. Theresa will be busy elsewhere imo, with what's going on with Brady and her designs. That's assuming their company even gets off the ground.

The Theresa Abby scene with the dress. She is so pensive at the end after Theresa said she was marrying the man she loves. So interesting. I really think they're going there with her trauma
It's probably unintentional and just a product of the Higley/Griffith switch (I'm no longer pretending there's even a tiny chance that this might not be a thing), but they might actually be setting up a perfect PTSD story. PTSD actually is only PTSD if it starts 30+ days AFTER the trauma. If they'd started it in December, I'd be irritated about it. Having it start in February works really well.
Later on Chad even says everything's perfect we're in love, we have Thomas, we're getting married and you could still tell something wasn't right for her. She came around when he hugged her but it was definitely there before. This could be a really good story. And the switch. It's real and it's definitely happening more and more each day. I'm super curious for next week. I agree she seems off but she was right about all of the stuff that has kept her and Chad apart...Ben, Andre, etc.

I like Chad. He seems to be the only young male lead with a personality and a spine. I just hope they don't try to turn him into a real DiMera.
This pain killer insta-addiction story is so bad. And Theresa giving a damn about Jennifer? No buying it! Theresa is now the truth teller on Days? Bahaha.
ITA and I hate that all the signs are pointing to Chad becoming a full fledged DiMera. It is depressing the hell out of me. I guess it will give BF a lot of good material to play but I much prefer him as a good romantic leading man. I don't want to see him as another EJ. I'm done if they do that to Chad.
I'm not seeing any signs of Chad becoming a full-fledged DiMera. He has resisted it and still is. Caring about Stefano's well-being and being conflicted over it doesn't mean he is becoming more of a DiMera IMO. That's human. I know there is the house stuff, but even that is an extension of Stefano and he wants to make it their own. I can see why you think he is being pulled in that direction, but Chad has been too well-defined now to take a 180 degree turn in the other direction. Characters change on a dime on this show, i.e. Theresa the firepoker wielding wretch is now a mousy peach of a darling.

I really like Deimos and I like how he's getting involved in a lot. I hope he's a real villain.

I really, really hope you're right but I see a lot of foreshadowing going on. Andre continuing to say that Chad can't escape being a DiMera, Chad constantly denying it, all of JJ's comments, morphing Andre more into Tony etc. Chad wanting to move into the DiMansion doesn't bother me. Luckily, I've been on a very long steak of wrong speculation...I hope it continues. :blulaugh: I don't think you're wrong. JJ said it best, Demiras never really change and I think it goes for Chad too. Chabby will never work because they're trying to make them into another EJami and even though Sami embraced the Demira lifestyle it's never going to happen with Abbigail. Sh's always been a judgemental goodie two shoe who expects everybody except herself to do the right thing all the time.

Leaving Nicole and Theresa to run the new company.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I thought it was beautiful too, but her hair? Yipes!
Yeah, but it wasn't like that was her wedding hair. I liked the dress. I was prepared to hate it...because I don't remember the last time I liked a wedding dress on this show. Sami had one in the mid 2000s that I liked. That might be it, lol.
Hard to please.... I think they've had plenty of good wedding dresses ( as well as the frightful ones). My favorite was Sami's wedding dress at Lumi's "Green" wedding.

I love Deimos, his is the story I'm enjoying the most. Not that I'm really enjoying much of the show atm, but still. I hope they keep him a villain too, but don't take him too far like they did Clyde. I like that he has legitimate reasons for wanting to make Victor pay.

Brady coming back to Titan would be awful.

And I'm hoping that comment in the magazine about other people manipulating stories is about him.
Really hoping they pick up the John thing. I hope he pisses Deimos off and we have an important new enemy for J&M

Yeah I agree, but she's right that something is looming

Caring about Stefano's well-being and being conflicted over it doesn't mean he is becoming more of a DiMera IMO. That's human. I know there is the house stuff, but even that is an extension of Stefano and he wants to make it their own. I can see why you think he is being pulled in that direction, but Chad has been too well-defined now to take a 180 degree turn in the other direction.
Characters change on a dime on this show, i.e. Theresa the firepoker wielding wretch is now a mousy peach of a darling. Theresa also wasn't well-written. BF's Chad is IMO. They could try to change him, but it would go over like a complete lead balloon. I know they've had characters change for the worse in the past. There is no reason to do that with Chad.

Does Roman realize that Deimos is Shawn's great-uncle?
What is Shawn's job? Is he a cop or CSI?
I still think I might have preferred Shawn as the lawyer and Belle in the medical field (nurse or possibly doctor), yet all the same I like him following in his dad's footsteps so it's ok.
Did Hope ever get Shawn's note that he's back in town?
I find it interesting that JC's Shawn was in a bubble with Hope/Bo/Ciara (and didn't much interact with Belle) yet BB's Shawn hasn't interacted with his family at all. I like to see Shawn with his family.
JJ looks like he's dressed up for Halloween.
