You can tell. Based on writing styles, etc. Dena's stuff is obvious. |

I think in the future they will be testing Nicole with Fynn and Dario. I don't wanna see Nicole alone. |

They're the last people who need to be involved. They'd only make this worse. |

If it wasn't for the "with every beat of my heart" shit, I'd say the point of Nicole's was closure so she will move on, and given that Valentine's Day was to be her wedding day, the timing was fitting. Imo she was never going to let go until that day passed. If she's going to become obsessed with Brady's heart then it was all kind of meaningless telling her she has to let go. The Thrady stuff was cringeworthy. I've no doubt they're endgame but the writing for them continues to be pure crap. I liked the Chabby scenes, ffwd Ciara, the Rope stuff was also really bad, and just don't care about S&K as long as Ava is in their story. The question is, was this all Dena's, and if so how are the stories going to change in the coming weeks from what she had intended? |

It might be the flu talking but I really didn't mind the Chabby scenes. Yeah, they're foreshadowing Chad probably going dark but I love that Abby knows him so well and Chad is desperate to prevent it from happening. I loved their little scene after the dream. I'm clearly an easy Chabby fan at the end of the day. Just don't destroy them completely and I will be fine with them ending. My only complaint is I wish the lighting and blocking was better for their kissing scenes. I can't see a damn thing the way they are usually filmed...over Chad's shoulder. #annoying. I didn't watch the rest of the show cause I'm too tired and or don't care. |

Relax. It's just a dream. If you let them go you'll never get to enjoy anything. Their dream had a happy ending anyways, not that I think this episode means anything. It's fluff. And I don't think Chad will go dark. That's just Abby's deepest fear. Edited by Restless84, Feb 12 2016, 03:02 PM.

Well, that was stupid. I was okay with having a dream episode again, but this one was total crap. The only one that was okay was Abby' s dream. I thought Theresa' s dream was the worst, until the Ciara shit happened. WTF was that?!? The renewal was announced yesterday and this shit airs the following day. Nice. |

You should watch the Rafe scene and Ciara if you want a hardy laugh and drink to come out your nose...probably the stupidest shit this show has had on it in a long while. What is worse Ciara's soliloquy or Rafe playing checkers with Andre (using Stefano's ring) with that horrible theme music playing in the background...that''s easy for me Ciara's scene made me laugh so hard my chest hurt.

I actually liked the Chabby part of the show. Abby knew evil Chad was not the real Chad. I also liked dream good Chad and reality Chad would put the same saying on the locket showed how well Abby knows Chad. Also if you notice Chase wasn't feature d in the last segment, so it will be Ciara/Theo eventually?

Ok...this is no exaggeration on my part. I've say through almost 3 decades of this show and today had to be the worst, most pointless episode I have EVER seen in all my years of viewing and was one of the most confusing viewing experiences I have ever had. I do have some positives, believe it or not. I did like what seemed to be the intent, which was to foreshadow but also give us insight into the character's psyches and fears and such. However, the execution was TERRIBLE. There was no cohesion at all. Nothing to tie the episode together. They tried to use Doug and Julie for that but it didn't work and it only made things more confusing because it was jarring to constantly go back to them. There needed to be a common theme. There was none. It was like alot of episodes lately....choppy and jumping around all over the place. Like multiple episodes strung together. It was all made more confusing by the nature of some of the dreams. It was just a confusing, headache-inducing experience that accomplishes nothing because even if it did foreshadow and give us some insight, it was all lost amid the confusion and all the horrifying execution and writing. I like Carolyn Culliton and will give her a pass on this because Dena probably tossed this out there and no one on the writing team knew what the hell to do with it but, even though I give her a pass, the script was TERRIBLE. Can't blame her but still. I mentioned there was some positives and I guess, much like so many of Dena's ideas, the idea was a good one if executed right, which it wasn't. Doug and Julie were great and make for a good central focus of the episode if everything else clicked. I did like aspects of some of the dreams. I LOVED Ciara breaking the 4th wall with all the SORASing jokes until it got offensive and then chose to focus on things we have had no focus on since she was aged. We got one scene of Ciara threatening to shoplift and there was no other hints or situations that showed her dark side. Then, they imply Chase appeals to her dark side when up until a few weeks ago, Chase was usually the one that seemed far more innocent and vulnerable. If we had any of what that dream suggested in the buildup to this, this would've made for a nice, fun recap sort of thing. However, we got none of that so... The Steve/Kayla/Ava dream was pointless but hilarious. I did like seeing SN and MBE play something so wildly over the top like that. The Chad/Abby one was actually the most interesting but, again, I felt confusion took away from it and it could've been better with a bit more time devoted to it to lay it out better. The Rafe/Hope/Andre one was awful. Andre shooting Hope was pretty surprising and the best executed part of the dream given how it looked onscreen. However, outside of pointing out Rafe's fear of failing Hope, there was nothing it accomplished and it, too, felt like a waste. Brady/Theresa was nothing more than a way to basically beat the audience over the head with the idea that we have a triangle on our hands with them and Nicole. Dumb, poorly executed...a waste. I will accept the Nicole/Daniel thing because while I am sick of the Daniel stuff, it was a goodbye for their fans. Same goes for the end, which I thought was a nice touch having Daniel's voice say that. They should've just did this a month ago. They do have their fans so doing this as a goodbye I can deal with even if it was sickening to me. But I wouldn't have done that in this episode. Do it last month. That is the biggest issue I had. If you do an episode like this, have a common theme. Use Doug and Julie to tie it together and have it all link together. If you take the Nicole/Daniel stuff out, it helps because there is no way it fits with some of the other stuff. The ending, outside of the Nicole/Daniel portion, made no sense either. If there was any doubt, this is ALL Higley. It had so many holes and so much underdeveloped, offensive material. This episode represents her very well. You can tell she came up with this idea, gave it to the writing team, and relied on them to make it work. No details. No ideas on how to execute it. And it shows. That is what she does. Shoots out ideas and makes everyone else execute them. Lazy. The writing team has no idea how to execute an idea that has no details or any explanation and this episode reeked of them being put in that situation by Dena. I thought this was going to be movie-themed? What happened to that? At least that could've been fun. This was just a mess. One that tried to do some things but fell flat on it's face because the idea was underdeveloped by a hack head writer who wants the power and the glory but can't bother to do the work required of her to make the idea succeed. I feel really bad for anyone that heard about the renewal and tuned in today to see this crapfest. They probably wondered what the hell was going on. Good thing Friday is usually the lowest-rated of the week... |

Oh, and this is in no way a good Valentine's episode. I mean, I could care less. I don't need to have some over the top, romantic type episode but they clearly intended it as a Valentine's special and it was in no way fitting of that. Typical Dena Higley. Save us Josh and Beth! |

I am not going to apologize, I like the S/K/A stuff. They got to get the best of her, even if only in a dream. |

I'm not going to lie. I'm a bit scared to watch this episode, mostly for just the Daniel and Nicole stuff. But Hope and Rafe too. I just don't feel that this year, Days has earned the right to do a Valentine's Day-themed episode. There has been little to no romance for forever. Before Nicole even lost Daniel, he was barely seen for four months. Nope. Sorry. |

I won't lie. . .I've watched faithfully since about 1983ish and today was the worst and most gag inducing episode of Days I've ever, EVER seen and that includes all the EJami crap, magic floating bed sex, dog weddings, aliens and floating possessed shrinks! Nothing short of a pot donut could've saved me the torture that was this episode. |

Okay, I just watched the Chabby dream and I liked it, though it was sort of just a take-off on what just happened with Chad's brainwashing. Abby knew that the "DiMera" Chad really wasn't Chad. I loved her saying "I'm nobody's possession. Where is my Chad?" It was great when they flashed back to the real Chad and Abby and Chad knew what he had said in Abby's dream: "A love like ours comes once in a lifetime." :wub2:
