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.
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. You have a point, but Theresa is still being badly written. Plus it doesn't really matter how anything goes over, they film too far ahead.

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. Posted Image I like the top - the bottom is a mess.

Well he came in a not so nice guy and loving his Demira lifestyle so it wouldn't be that far fetched that he would go back to his old ways now that he's accomplished all he set out to do.

You have a point, but Theresa is still being badly written. Plus it doesn't really matter how anything goes over, they film too far ahead. I agree the writing for Theresa is just as bad now. They never really defined her well and I think that makes the writers more inclined to write a character in a different direction. Someone like Chad on the other hand has been given some good character writing. Not that I think the show takes the audience into account, but they've been writing Chad well for long enough to know that he has been extremely well-received the way he is. So if they were to really change who he is, it would be extremely dumb.

It just struck me that they took two of the most ill-defined characters (Brady and Thersa) and paired them. I don't know why that didn't hit me until now. Maybe that's part of the reason I don't like their pairing. They just seem...generic.
RE Chad:
I'm not sure where they're headed with him, but... I could see a situation where he gets mixed up in the DiMera stuff, and that leads to Abby's exit somehow. IDK. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him once she leaves. I don't think he's totally immune from the writers make him more DiMera-like (as much as I don't want them to).

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I haven't had a chance to read through the entire thread.
Were there scenes involving Hope, Chad and Rafe cut today? It looked very choppy. One minute Hope is speaking with Chad and the next minute he is gone and she is on the phone to Rafe. The same thing appeared to happened after Rafe arrived. One minute he is with Hope and listening to Andre's call and the next he is at the DiMera mansion.

With Chad, I'm not discounting that he'll get mixed up with his family, which is sort of what they are doing now with Andre trying to pull him back. To me the only reason Chad cares now is because of Stefano. I just don't think who he is at the core should change. He's a good man.

Not that I'd want it, but they could so easily change him, especially if he loses Abigail, or they decide they need him to be a real DiMera.
Chad wanting to live at the DiMansion is out of character for this Chad, IMO, and doesn't bode well for his future. They could also decide to change him just to create conflict for he and Abby.
Another example is Lexie. She went from being a good person for years to being a nasty DiMera.
I dunno, but I'd never put anything past this show.

I enjoyed today's show. I think today was the most I've liked Theresa in months in the scenes with Abby and Jennifer. I'm really loving that MR finally has a storyline.
The Andre and Chad scenes were great. I really love the longer scenes. Hope that's a sign JG is back in control. And loved Chad and Abby. So cute today. But sorry that wedding isn't going to go off without a hitch. Nice seeing Chad interact with Hope as well.
Finally, I'm liking Brandon Beemer back so much and I enjoyed the cop scenes. Lani was even good today in her one scene with Theo.
Only part I fast forwarded was the beginning with Brady and Nicole. I'm intrigued by the dream though. Pleas make it Daniel did something horrible to his ex wife..

Characters change on a dime on this show, i.e. Theresa the firepoker wielding wretch is now a mousy peach of a darling.

Yea I'd like a small ceremony before or after their upcoming danger. One of the other sites implied there's multiple weddings ahead.
I heard abt the multiple weddings!! Maybe Belle marries Philip :rolleyes: :sarcasm: I will kill Josh Griffith if that happens. I hope it's not Thrady?? lol aside from the vets the only other young couple I see marrying is Chabby. Jabi is too new, Thrady maybe??, Shelle is a hot mess plus they're already married (how much longer no one knows). Rope so they can't testify?? :drunk: :drunk:
I doubt it's Thrady. EM and JL hinted there are a few obstacles heading their way and one of them is huge and that their love will be tested. This was in their magazine interview. May i asked what magazine?

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.
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. I'll never get the EJami comparisons in regards to Chabby. It doesn't fly except that EJ and Chad are brothers and both pairings were/are popular. There is phrase I'd like to use here but I'd get in trouble and Lysie hates it. ;)
But oh yes, you're right, all DiMeras have to be the same. Even if Chad wasn't raised one. DNA determines everything. :sarcasm: I'll never understand people lumping Chad in with the rest of the DiMeras like he's some bad guy when in actuality he is a decent guy who has made mistakes like everyone does. Lazy argument IMO.

Is it just me, or is Hope being written differently today compared to before the cabin trip?!
Hope appeared panicked & unnerved by what Chad had said (since Andre appears to have magically put all the right pieces together), but she almost seemed annoyed and frustrated with Rafe because it's his fault Andre searched the warehouse & (seemingly) found Stefano's body, he keeps telling her not to worry & that things will just blow over (but then something happens that contradicts his statements), & his need to tell her that he'll take care of it (which I don't think she really believes he can/will).

The Twitter PBP makes today sound horrid. Great Dread Cthulhu, why didn't someone step in and stop Dena before it got this bad? Considering how far ahead they tape, I would have cut every one of these stories, skipped ahead to a good starting point, put a header up that said "Three Months Later" with a voiceover saying so-and-so has joined the show as such-and-such. This show has become unwatchable at this point. Posted Image
Yeah, I hate to agree, but... The small bursting of some "bubbles" just isn't enough for me. The stories suck, IMO. Wasn't Corday talking about some bubbles they planned to put five couples in one of his interviews after the regime change?

That wedding dress is hideous. I hope they use a different one for the actual wedding.

My all-time favorite wedding dress was Calliope's because I like laughing and I miss the comedy DAYS used to provide.
She "lit" up my life!

I thought the dress looked beautiful on her. What did you make of Chad seeing her in the dress? I'm desperate for some hope here. LOL.
My advice isn't to get all down and depressed. I guess Days thinks it's clever using the dress anvil, but in truth any wedding on this show is bad luck unless it's boring (see Will and Sonny's wedding). I'm sure some big drama/explosion is going to happen at the wedding or before with the Stefano/Andre/Rafe/Hope stuff, especially since they decided to make Rafe Chad's Best Man. They always use the Best Man or Maid of Honor to try to create drama. They also might have Ben return either for real or in Abby's mind. I do hope they get an actual wedding and there is a lot of drama, but Chad and Abby end up getting married in spite of it. And about the Best Man, it should have been Theo. They also should have shown the conversation between Chad and Rafe. What is Rafe thinking by accepting while at the same time he is helping Hope cover up Stefano's murder? I like Chad and Rafe as buddies, but this gives me a bad taste and makes me mad at Rafe and I don't want to be. Chad and Theo have had this close Uncle/Nephew bond for years now and I don't like them spiting on that history for this plot point. I really hope that Hope isn't Abby's MOH. I don't want the wedding to be about Rafe and Hope. :rolleyes: I'd prefer the Ben return over the Hope/Rafe reveal at the wedding.
