Yes, we will see how it plays out. if I had a dollar for every Days story that had pertinent details happen off screen or implied, & become relevant later I would be very wealthy, & much of what transpired today is open to interpretation. And you certainly don't have to make a point if addressing me in your post to get that point across. It's clear from twitter that there were many interpretations of what happened today. I certainly don't think this should be assumed to be an exit story for Chase because there is no redemption for him. I guess if he is too be locked up & labeled ruined he better save a spot in the cell in case Jack or EJ come back from the dead..... right? There are lots of different ways this can play out, & given the fact that Aiden is returning (quite possibly with a redemption story since it appears DC is still filming & therefore will be airing for months) anything is possible for Chase as well. |

On the other hand, what's the point in getting so far ahead of the story? |

I remember seeing a clip of a news story back in the 80s when NBC did a night time Days special. Days was heavily edited because you couldn't show what soaps routinely showed in Prime Time. The actors had to be more clothed and careful about positions. I thought it was interesting. I guess networks expected kids to be in school all day. I've never thought soaps were meant for children and still don't, but I grew up watching with my mom. Sorry to ramble, but I agree soaps aren't for kids. |

Yep. That's why John and Marlena were fully clothed when Sami walked in on them, lol. |

Belle doesn't need to borrow from Grandma. She just needs to live in her house. |

Well, that's an Evans family trait right there. The word "whore" comes out, and the hand goes up. |

OMG I didn't even think about it but Ciara better not get pregnant. :puke: The writers probably wouldn't let her abort. |

I'm going to comment on the rest of today later but I am pretty surprised we had another round of Steve having the opportunity to tell Kayla and deciding not to. At this point Josh had the leeway to tweak this so Steve didn't lie repeatedly. And I don't think they're playing the he's ashamed it was rape angle either. He's just not telling her. I really thought Josh was a Steve and Kayla fan but I kind of feel he's more a Kayla fan. Steve hasn't looked great from start to finish in this story while Kayla's instincts were right all along. I'm wondering if we see single Kayla at some point after this. They seem to deliberately be leaving it in a way where Steve wasn't truthful. They could have told the Ava exit story we think is coming without the S&K trust issues involved. |

MM played that really well. Belle upset herself when she almost hit Claire, and that's good. Oh, and I like that it made her blurt out her secret. Claire needs to adopt the family's pronunciation of "aunt." |

I think it was written this way to make the reveal more dramatic with the video. :shrug: I have a feeling that the murder of Ava will push them back together, no matter who commits it. |

Are we going to get a baby from this SL? Please no. At least it won't be a "Who's your daddy?" SL. |

Oh for sure with the reveal but the timing sucks for that too. Barely a week from when Kayla asked Steve about to the reveal. I just don't love the Steve part of this. One of the things I loved so much in the fall was how they were rebuilding based on honesty. Edited by Lovejm, Feb 17 2016, 04:36 PM.

I couldn't care less about the fall out right now- my gripe is with the crap the writers seem to think is good story lead up. Just...... no. Does anyone at DAYS understand how plot works, how events are supposed to connect, how fiction differs from real life in that inadequately foreshadowed randomness is frowned upon? This is a show, not a short story- the build up has to fit the previous arc building and has to make sense. Chase's arc at this point is confusing, possibly due to the different visions of what the writers want- we went from accidental mom killer bullied by spitfire to autistic kid bully (i still don't understand what that was supposed to do to get him Ciara) to misunderstood manipulated emo soul (for like 2 days) to possible sister rapist. Like... does Days not know how to spread the bad around? He really had enough going on without heading down the rapist road. I don't care if the storyline Griffith intended got derailed because of what Dena supposedly wanted- this Andre/Chase "manipulation" band-aid lead up fix (paired with that random Ciara dream which has been the only point where I realized she actually liked Chase or Theo at all) is equally as bad/borderline-lazy storytelling. Speaking of that dream, the whole "attracted to darkness" aspect the week before the possible rape is....I have no words. The only comparison I can think of with this storyline is Sami/Alan but even before that rape, it was clear to the reader/audience that Alan was a no-go. Viewing this from a writer's lens- this "lead-up" is abysmal, not just to the possible rape but to at least 3 of the storylines going on right now (don't get me started on the whole Ava wants Steve and Kayla back together to break them up to look for a kid that I can't imagine Steve not wanting to find just because it could possibly be his kid anyway crap). |
