She mentioned somewhere (day of days I think?) "that thing that happens with Hope's daughter", so maybe there's something before that, too. |

Wow. I hope they don't wait that long to get her Ciara into therapy. I'd much rather Ciara gets into therapy soon, and has regular appointments, and then the June appt would be one of those. But probably not. However, Daniel Cosgrove's IMDB says he'll be in the May 31st episode, so maybe there will be some Chase/Aiden fallout happening that Ciara will need to recover from in June. Edit, I just saw Lysie's post above. Well then hopefully sooner. Edited by nananana7, Feb 12 2016, 02:19 PM.

I remember on one of those cast photos in the pub, Ciara had pink streaks in her hair. At the time everyone was assuming that she was acting out because of Bo's death but now we know. Seems obvious that she's going to keep this a secret and end up acting out. |

Yep. Sigh. They really should have recast knowing they were going this route. For these stories to work at all, you really need a strong actress (see: Susan Haskell, Eden Riegel, Marcy Walker, etc.). I fear this is going to be a disaster. |

Yeah, I finally saw it. I was trying to keep up with all the different threads discussing it and think I missed some stuff. After hearing what it is, I wish it was Rafe and Hope. |

I think this arc was building since Aiden's death. |

I don't understand why the writers didn't have Marlena reach out to Hope after Aiden and Bo died -- and suggest counseling to her. Hope and Marlena are supposed to be friends! But no, the writers kept Marlena out of Hope's bubble. |

This really saddens me that they're going this way. I don't think the show will give it the sensitivity teen rape serves and it's even more complicated as it borderlines on sibling incest as they're like step-siblings. With my psychology and Swrk backgroud, this is an issue dear to my heart so I really hope they approach it carefylly. But I'm so tired of dark storylines and am ready for some happiness and supercouples or even families and friends interacting. |

I'm holding out hope that VJ might surprise us. She hasn't been given much to do as Ciara since debuting in October. There was Bo's death, and I thought the little material she got to sink her teeth into was good. The focus wasn't on her though, so she had nothing to shine with. I'd also hope the acting coach and directors might give her some advice on how to play these scenes. Every actress has to have that big moment. Hell, it took Kristian Alfonso until 2006 to get her big moment when Hope found out Zach died. And she started in 1983! |

I wish I knew that's true. After today, seeing her point to her boobs today and saying I got these and then I got popular, I would not put anything past this show. |

I liked her twice this week: when Hope hugged her on the couch and today with Theo and the heart-shaped pizza I saw a little charm. It's not a lot to hang on but I'm hopeful. |

I thought VJ did well with the Bope stuff, so I'm hopeful she can pull this off. Of all the teens, she had the hardest job because Ciara is the child we were familiar with and had expectations for. We haven't had a kid like that in a really long time. Not even Will. He was onscreen a lot as a kid, but didn't really have his own personality like Ciara did. I don't remember Shawn D well enough to say if he was similar, but Carrie was in the 80s. |

I'm going to wait and see how this unfolds because it does seem like this story will be handled by Josh and Beth. I have the feeling they were always going to go here with Chase and maybe that is why he was recurring. They were going to have him go dark after everything that happened and I think it could be a compelling story if built well. It hasn't been so far but maybe they can work it out somehow and maybe parallel it with Steve/Ava. We will see. The timing is not good given the Ava stuff but so much depends on how they execute this. I don't like that they are going there but if the story is good, it could end up helping to add some emotional resonance to the teen scene and could actually be a really good beat to play with Hope because it plays on her behavior the past few months. |

True. I still think she sucks as an actress. I suppose she could improve. I just don't think she will. But there definitely were high expectations, especially with those of us that really liked LB in the role and because she is probably one of the few kids to have a personality on the show. |

Yeah and she tends to do the emotional stuff well. Her acting choices will be crucial. She did well with Bo's death. Hopefully, she just allows herself to connect naturally to the material. She seems to do well when she does that. It's when she tries too hard that she seems to flounder IMO. |

I think it will be a while before Ciara goes to therapy. She obviously is going to keep this a secret. She's never had any sort of sexual or romantic experience and will not know what the hell to do. She's 16. I think she'll feel like she caused Chase to act out against her and won't want him thrown out of the house because she feels guilty. Plus she knows things are crazy with her mom and she'll think she is making things worse. I'm going to give VJ a chance. She does well with emotional scenes and hopefully she'll improve elsewhere acting wise too. AS did a somewhat similar rape story at an even younger age than VJ and she did fine.

If they wanted to do this story it should be with a older stronger actress. ( Marcy Walker did an amazing job with her rape story on Santa Barbara she definitely had her Emmy in the bag that year) |

I have started again around the time JT joined them. I think it's good even if there's not a lot of stuff happening right now. The characters and stories don't make me want to punch myself. I with we could have nice things on Days too, where is the romance? :-/ |
