If he was an adult, he should do jail time but he's a minor and I don't see a reason why he should be judged as an adult. I would like the writers to stop doing those extreme storylines because it sends the wrong message if the character doesn't get punished but at the same time, I hate when characters with potential are sacrified. A lot of soap characters deserve to go to jail but they don't. |

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

I guess Chase is gonna die or get shipped somewhere. I always knew he was meant to become Nick Falon/ Ben Weston 2.0. (of course he didn't kill anyone) but he's still as emotionally damaged as they were. I have no idea how they they're gonna resolve this storyline. But if they do redeem Chase, just keep him away from Claire, don't make her the girl who's gonna "save him or redeem him" I don't want her to become his Gabby or Abigail, she deserves better. In fact just ship him off to Guatemala where he can get weekly visits with a shrink. |

Chase was NOT disoriented when he left the room. I watched it. That's a gross exaggeration. |

Although I liked Chase prior to this episode, I'm expecting Hope to unleash the same wrath or worse that she unleashed on Chelsea when Zach died, |

WTH a new mind control technique. I said it appeared he knew what he was doing. It appeared. |

I have not seen today's show, but WTF were the tptb thinking? A Horton being raped in the Horton house in the living room? Way to go tptb. You completely infected a iconic set with their current garbage. |

I can't shake the feeling that someone at the show might feel a heroine can't be of worth until she's been raped... |

Belle made that Marlena face when she was about to slap Claire, all she needed was the gasp. |

Several of JM's social media postings, while not pics seem to indicate he is still filming. We know he is around at least through the end of May. Evey article I have seen references him filming in the present tense. Greg tweeting he needs to get an updated pic. Brad Young responding to Haiden fans about scheduling a photo shoot in the near future. If all of that is accurate & DC is still filming, that makes that possibility seem unlikely. |

He doesn't have to be tried as an adult to face punishment for something he, at this point, knows/should know is wrong. No means no. It's true, crimes on soaps are often bypassed or ignored. But there's a difference to me, for a surreal story and a closer-to-real-life story. Shooting a master, almost cartoonish, villian who did shitty things to you (as dumb as the story is) is one thing. Hope should naturally go to jail for murdering another person, but I have less issue with that on a soap, than when a guy rapes a girl who clearly says no. She already told him more than once she wasn't interested, she says no when tries to force her and he continues. That, for me, is about a social responsibility that, while they aren't forced to take on, should be aware of. Because murdering master villains doesn't happen every day, and it's not likely to happen to anyone watching the show. But rape by a guy you like and trust in the safety of a place you know, does. Too often, and it has (sadly) undoubtedly happened to many people watching. So while I want Rafe and Hope to go to jail just to... have a break from them right now, and because the story has been so dumb... I want Chase to be punished for different reasons. And maybe that makes me a hypocrite, but for me there's just a difference. |

I simply said mind control was a possibility, & Chase appearing to know what he was doing was a subjective observation. Where is the confusion? |

I'm guessing that was Chase's "first time" too right? seriously WTF is wrong with these writers. We saw no signs of him being drugged or disoriented from all that food Andre fed him. Unless they give us some flashbacks later. Anyway I always feared it would come to this. Nick Fallon/Ben Weston in training. I honestly think Chase will either die or get shipped off somewhere. I can't see him co-existing with Hope's family anymore. Or anywhere near the Hortons and Brady's they'd eat him alive. That includes the Kiriakis!! If Victor can remember that Ciara is his granddaughter that is. Ciara will be traumatized for months and probably won't say anything for several weeks until Theo or someone else finds out. Like Bobbie Spencer told Elizabeth Webber on GH when Liz was raped at 16, this wasn't sex or making love. So there's no way I'll ever count this as Ciara's first time. |

Around the time the Cosgrove stuff leaked, wasn't it said that he said that Chase would stay "for while" after he left? He's recurring. That seems to indicate that he was likely never seen as something long-term. Then again, with Dena more in control, she seems to take Chase away from being troubled/dark and more toward just being misunderstood/quietly crushing on Ciara. She was also building something with Chase and Claire. I get the feeling Dena wanted more for Chase and Griffith wanted to take him this far in the aftermath of the Aiden stuff. Therein lies the problem, though. Days is really messed up right now because the past 3 months have completely derailed what appeared to be the long-term vision for the show. Griffith is clearly more and more in control now and trying to steer things back toward the original plans while also taking into account some of what has happened and it isn't easy and you could tell today that he expedited the buildup to the rape with the Andre stuff. The foundation was always there for Chase to do something horrible but we just haven't seen that buildup because of Dena. If we had, I don't think we would see Andre involved with Chase and pushing him this way. Andre was basically used to quicken the buildup to get the story to where it was planned to go. The scenes were twisted and even though I am open to this story and have faith with Josh and Beth they can do this story and any story justice, Days is going to REALLY start a huge uproar over this and they really need to come out and address this story somehow in the press and handle the subject matter with care. On the heels of everything that has happened, this is really poorly timed and I don't blame Griffith for that but the show does need to address this publicly and reassure viewers ASAP. I have thought the entire week has been an improvement. Griffith's influence is becoming more and more prevalent. The ominous feel is back and characters aren't as isolated. We even got a Hope/Shawn scene finally and Bo's death is actually having some beats played again! Some things could use more buildup, like the rape, but that blame lies on Dena Higley and whoever decided to let her take control of this show. If Griffith was allowed to continue leading the stories, we would've gotten fallout from the Fall stories and so much of the past few months would've been better executed and we would've gotten proper buildup to alot of this. |

I agree. He didn't look the least bit disoriented. That was a huge exaggerated opinion by one person on Twitter doing a pbp. Maybe they really like Chase and are hoping for that. Idk. And again, daysfan2009, no one is saying it's not a "possibility". And of course, maybe we will see a "reveal" later on. Just that as of today and what we've seen, there was no drugging or brainwashing. Honestly, he looked like he was fine and in control of his choice. And IMO it would still be rape no matter what "out" they tried to give. I also think if they wanted him to have a so called "ou"t, they would've shown us the drugging today, not in a few months. But we will just have to see how it plays out |

Chase was my favorite teen.I cant justify what has happened with him. He has been ruined. I really liked the young actor and thought he had a lot of potential. Let's face it the writers would rather play the cheap rape card than come up with anything truly compelling.It's beyond sickening essentially having a child rape another child.

I do question the choice of the Horton house for this as well. Then again, that is a beat they could really play in the years to come with Ciara overcoming this. If Days plays this right, it could be really good even though it is unnecessary. I have confidence in Griffith and Milstein to write a story like this well based on their track record. I just wish we got the right buildup to it but that is Dena Higley for ya. |

LOL, what was Jack and EJ's excuse? That's your comparison? They didn't have one. Period. And neither does Chase based on what aired on the show today. |
