She said STOP.
He continued.
That's rape.

They better not paint it as anything else.
The "no" would have been enough but he even covered her mouth so there is NO doubt he raped her.

Standout Performances

Ava remembering coercing sex out of Steve. Tamara Braun killed that scene. It was layer upon layer upon layer.

Billy did a nice job with that scene where he realizes Andre is not lying. I don't give a crap about this Stefano story in terms of this one or that one getting revenge though; and I hope the story is put to rest soon.

Chuckle Moments

Ava looking at that "What to Do In Salem" pamphlet was hilarious to me considering what she's going to do and the recent climate of Salem (murder, framing, murder, framing, murder).

Hope's "for real?" look when Rafe told her that Chroman is a good cop. Uhm, no, unfortunately not many soap cops are good at their jobs.

Rafe/Hope/Andre

This story does not have me turnt (read: yelling "ruined") in the least on behalf of any of the characters. First and foremost, because it's Stefano & Andre who are extreme criminals who have gotten away with what they've done over and over again. Last week, Griffith turned the story back to dark Hope taking charge and Rafe acting like a desperate puppy dog and that IMO helps the story and the characters involved. Hope has such believable reason to be full of cold-blooded, hatred bordering on psychosis (from murder to not allowing them to take anything else from her family). Rafe does not. At all. The change IMO gives Rafe a chance of being salvaged because he's coming off more desperate than cold blooded with Hope heading this operation now. Griffith turned it back to a dark story from a fluffy story. That's the beat the story should be on. [He also let Bo's name be spoke again after a 6 week drought. Very necessary]. Hope's plan was kind of brilliant, too bad for Claire running her mouth.

Andre/Chase

I don't think Andre meant to influence a rape. IMO, though, what was running through Chase's head was Andre's notions about Ciara returning his feelings and women wanting bad boys who are aggressive about what they want and what they will do to get it. Due to his already horrid and ridiculous past, if they want to make Andre any type of character that can be in a relationship, he needs to show a conscience due to his inadvertent influence. At the very least, hopefully they don't have him gloat about it. Those are two kids and neither of those kids have ever done a single thing to him.

Chase/Ciara

Chase & Ciara being attracted to each other is weird, rape aside, especially with Ciara still announcing "I see you as a brother" on the regular. But Ciara's grandmother is also her aunt, so...

This story needed at least two more weeks of build up both from the front of Ciara's attraction to Chase AND Chase showing increasingly aggressive tendencies. IMO, Dena was writing Chase as one of the more normal teens by the end of her writing run. This was one beat where, IMO, Griffith needed to be more careful and not just snap his fingers and turn back the clock with the swiftness. Sigh.

I'm ready for Chase to leave after this story plays here. I'm not here for little stinking rapists, redeemed or not.

Why couldn't they have let this play at Andre's creep pad for Chase? Why the Horton couch? What will happen with Christmas?

Steve & Kayla

I do like how assertive Kayla is. At least Steve is not off somewhere comforting Ava after the event. Could be worst.

Kids Acting Out

Claire and Joey acting out on the same PMS-ing table was cute.

Love Hope giving Shawn D Bo's necklace. It's amazing people actually remembered he existed this week.

The only story that gives me pause about such a move is Dan. I need him to stay dead somehow. :P

I'm so confused. Rafe said he called John about the DiMera money (John's been a busy guy between Philip And Deimos, Winterthorne and helping Rafe) and John told him all the DiMera money was gone and the hack was in DiMansion?

So John clearly knows Andre didn't take the money. Watch that exonerates him somehow and it comes out J&M and Belle all know the truth about the money.

Rafe Roman is asking questions because it's a stupid story you two made up not because he's a good cop.

Ugh! Not to happy about the ending, I just hope they don't continue with that scene tomorrow. If it happens then just show the aftermath. :sadwalk: I can't believe it's happening in the Horton house. I wish Jennifer would come home from work right about now.

I understand that how a character was portrayed as a kid is not an indication of how they will be as they are growing up but I always felt that Ciara would be able to give a good fight if she was ever placed in a situation like this.

Didn't Ciara take karate classes or was that just Chase?
I remember Chase did as the pre-sora younger one. I am not sure if Ciara was taking karate lessons as well.
They both did

I just started watching the episode, but is Belle supposed to be having a midlife crisis or on her way to having a breakdown? She's acting so bizarre to Claire. She knows that she inexplicably has a crazy amount of money. Why is her first reaction be so angry that Claire would be confused by her talking about them flying away for a shopping spree?

The writing for her is so all over the place and makes her look really irrationally angry right now. I would be all for her with a side of sass, but this is too extreme. I'm hoping Josh and Beth tone it down a notch...

This episode was so fucked up. I literally just started watching again last week, but it looks like I'm going to have to go on another break already. I will NOT watch "Rapes of Our Lives." :angry:
You wouldn't have wanted to watch during the 70's and 80's then.

Raped:

Marlena
Julie
Kimberly
Kayla
Jennifer-1990"s
Sami-Alan and then E.J.
There was also the hospital rapist storyline in 1986 with Maggie, and Christy Lynn being attacked and Robin, Jennifer and Melissa as almost victims

The issue that I have with these kinds of storylines being written now is that they're never done right, beats are always missed and the fall out of the storylines are basically non existent. Back then it was taken more seriously and was written more tactfully and they used it as an outlet to educate people.
I remember hearing that Jennifer was raped by Lawrence Alamain. Was she raped again in the hospital story your speaking of?

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.
I really disagree here. Josh and Dena are both HW as equals that means Josh cannot just start controversial story like this before getting an approval from her as well. And if she made clear she is against it he shouldn´t go over her. It seems everybody here loves to blame Higley for everything and always find some excuses for Josh, but I see him just as arrogant and selfish. If he wanted this story so bad he could simply postpone it and do the proper build up instead of forcing it on as soon as he ousts Higley out.
Because we know that none of this is true and I'm not going to discuss it like it is. You've chosen not to believe the information about bts issues, problems with Higley, and the repeating of a pattern that Higley has demonstrated many times. We can keep explaining in detail why we believe what we believe if you want, but I'm a little sick of it. There are several things I blame Josh for. Attention to detail and pacing being two of them. Those aren't problems I attribute to Dena. But if you think Dena can't get things done without Josh's approval you've missed everything anyone who has worked with her has ever said about her.

Why are Hope and Rafe making me root for Andre?? DAMN!!
Because they are guilty. They are literally getting away with murder.

The Dimera family might be able to get all of Salem in jail for a hot minute there, lol.

The plan was pretty good, IMO, aside from R & H being a little too heavy handed. If I didn't see what happened, Andre would have been the first one I suspected of murdering Stefano. The risk comes with bringing that gun into play, but that's more ballsy than outright stupid.

The fumes got to him while Ericole was tied up? At that point Dicole wasn't that serious, though, so WAY less grieving when they realize he's dead.
