Chases stomach is a bottomless pit. So, he had breakfast with Andre and this is lunch now? Ciara has a body guard? So, does she lose him when she goes into the Horton house later with Chase? |

They shouldn't, but they probably will. They'll probably say that Andre brainwashed him and that it's all the DiMeras' fault. Chase will then be redeemed...yada, yada, yada. Just horrible storytelling. |

That would be horrible storytelling. But it hasn't happened yet. |

I have to say I actually think they really tell this rape story . With a long tail and a drawn out reveal. The fallout may suck but if this really is Josh's idea, it may be well told. If he was left alone being a key too, I think the lack of fallout from the fall stories was Higley's power play. Not saying I approve of what happened or that it was on the Horton couch. But we're stuck with it, I want it told well. Edited by Lovejm, Feb 17 2016, 01:20 PM.

I would think if the writers are going with the "chase was drugged and brainwashed" angle, they would make us privy to that information now without doubt? Seems we didnt actually see any drugging or brainwashing on screen? I do think Andre got Chase all riled up, but he never said to go "rape" ciara, he just had some creepy conversation about channelling his energy. I hate if the writers are trying to make Chase a victim in this, because nothing excuses rape. Nothing. I dont care what Andre said to him. I dont even care if he slipped a roofie into Chase's food. This happens IRL all the time and this makes it seem as if it it can be excused and I dont like that. If Ciara said No, No means no. Chase made a choice I also wasnt a fan it seems as if Ciara was kissing him back at one point, so I can only assume Ciara will feel like she "asked for it" or led him on. I dont have faith the writers can do those feelings justice. It wasnt her fault. Again, no means no! Edited by elizhope, Feb 17 2016, 01:24 PM.

Rafe had a good point. How does Chad know Andre wouldn't kill Stefano? They act like Chad and everyone thought Andre was Stefano's son for ages. |

Hopefully JJ the cop will come home and put a stop before it goes any further. |

Steve didn't tell her what happened but I'm sure Ava will send a sex tape to Kayla. Edited by Ocean, Feb 17 2016, 01:26 PM.

Yes, a rape story can work for a soap. But what story over the last few months has had any kind of decent fallout? That's the problem with this team. I don't see it magically getting better with this story. They boasted of the ramifications from a legacy character like Will's death, which we are still waiting for 5 months later. Theo & Ciara are already one of the best couples on the show & have been for years. Speculation is Theo kills Chase for what he did to Ciara. Sounds awesome! And in the Horton living room is just wrong on so many levels...one of the bedrooms, the hotel room, anywhere but that living room. It's a slap in the face to the legacy of Tom & Alice and the show. How is Ciara going to hang her ornament on the tree every year? |

I think we all get that but the symbolism of the Horton house is the problem at least to me. That house that has always meant so much to every character on that show and to the fans is used for this....it's just awful. They could have used another house....IDK, it just feels off...maybe that is why they ware doing it...so that Christmases will never be the same when Ciara looks at the couch? IDK... |

Well, Andre... Legally Ciara is NOT a "woman". |

The thing is, we don't know how Josh does fallout. He may do it well. We know Higley doesn't, and we know josh didn't get a chance to. We don't actually have a frame of reference here. |

I think Dena killed the fallout from the serial killer story. I think they might be going back to that soon. I seriously doubt Theo will kill Chase. Most speculation like that ends up untrue. Hopefully with Dena gone, Josh & Beth will be able to write decent fallout. |

True. We do know, however, that the pacing of his stories this fall was pretty bad. Hopefully they've fixed that now. |

I get what you're saying. I'm just saying that for teen-aged rape victims watching, they should know that it's just as much NOT their fault if -- regardless of happens in greatgrandma's house, or in an alley. Edited by nananana7, Feb 17 2016, 01:32 PM.

We do. And I think the biggest mistake in this story (so far) was also pacing. My guess is that this was always planned, and Dena was supposed to build to it but didn't. When given the chance, they should have spent more than a week fixing that. But I also guess that the timing was intentional for how they want things to play out. |
