Did they? I don't really recall them using the word rape for Eric's situation that often. |

Eric certainly used it. But from the beginning it was clear that the priest was an innocent victim in this story. |

They also continue to not know who's actually married on this show. I think they said Steve did it to save his wife. |

the comments made either in magazine or on a promo bout Eric and Kristen sounded just like this. |

Well,I knew it was going to be bad before I watched it after seeing 7 thumbs down on the first post.And it was. All I'm going to say is if next week's promo is about the other upsetting spoiler,something definitely needs to done to alert tptb this is not what daytime romance is all about. |

I totally agree with this. He could have searched for her on his own. He was in the ISA for God's sake. Kayla wasn't even that far, she was still in Salem. I don't know why he agreed to sleep with her. So stupid of him. |

It would have been great if the writers had written Steve that way(the way we know he is).But,they didn't.They wrote him as a man backed into a corner,with no other option to save a loved one.The same as if someone had a gun trained on you or the loved one.It was not willingly,so to me it was rape. The stupidity lies with the writers who want us to accept this Steve,not the one who searched high and low for Bo. :soapbox: |

Well, Kristen fell for Brady before the #1 wedding. After Marlena exposed her schemes, he left her. Then she raped Eric and recorded it. She planned to destroy him and Marlena by showing the tape publicly. But then Brady decided to give their relationship another chance. Kristen decided not to show the video but didn't destroy the tape. Then there was a long story about the tape's whereabouts LOL (Marlena's purse, under the bench in HTS, Parker's hands, Daniel's desk, Marlena's hands, Victor's mansion) until Marlena played it at the wedding thinking it is a sex tape of Kristen and some stranger she cheated on Brady with. |

It was not an affair. An affair implies both parties wanted the contact. It was made more than clear that Steve didn't want to be with her...that he was angry with her for using Kayla to force his hand...and that the act made him feel dirty and used. Afterward, he was turned away from her, he didn't want any part of her touching him. He was repulsed, and angry with her and, I think, with himself, because he wishes he'd handled things differently. Ava...she's a destroyer. She lies, she manipulates, she's a user. She has the idea that doing these things is going to get her what she wants, but in the end, she was alone and Steve despised her enough that he just walked away. She deserved it. Her actions have been reprehensible. Not only did she force Steve to have sex with her in order to get Kayla freed, she also taped the act without his knowledge or consent. She's done what any predator does, so she herself is a predator. Edited by Kriss4, Feb 13 2016, 04:18 PM.

Taking rape out of it entirely, I don't think Days knows what an affair is. They often use that term to describe a one night stand. TBH, I don't even think John and Marlena in 1993 were having an affair. I call the story that, because that's what it's called...but it really wasn't an affair. I can't even think of an actual affair story this show has done except maybe Bo/Carly? And it wasn't a secret. I guess you could consider Belle/Philip an affair but with the Shelle marriage being over, IDK I'd call it that either. At least not in the traditional sense. |

They misused the phrase "affair" in one of the EJabby promos too. "They've been having an affair for weeks." No. |

J&M in 93 was more of an emotional affair than anything else. The plane and CRT were spontaneous events and not your traditional planned out 'let's sneak around behind someone's back for sex' kind of affair. Emotionally however, as much as Marlena in particular tried to run from it, all the time they spend trying to fight it was more of an affair. |

I wasn't paying close enough attention to EJ and Abby to tell if it was really an affair. Steve and Kayla only really slept together the one time while they were cheating on Jack, but they did keep sneaking off to be alone and making out afterward. And there was Mike and Carrie. |

Neil and Maggie had an affair when she was married to Mickey. I think that was pretty traditional affair. |

Depends on what type of affair also. Are you talking extramarital affair or no? Rafe and Kate had an affair. Belle and Phillip currently are too. Justin and Elsa. Adrienne and Lucas. The list goes on. |

I refer to John and Marlena in large part, Marlena was emotionally unfaithful. And there was the Plane and the Conference Table. Still not a traditional affair by any means, but most of the affair was spent in lingering moments and fought desires, rarely giving in. It wasn't a planned affair, certainly. And I would call EJ/Abby almost traditional in terms of affairs, but it also wasn't really planned. Days likes to follow the one thing leads to another path in terms of affair stories, even as far back as say Mickey / Linda. |
