Liked how Lani was behind Hope as Andre revealed the truth. They really need to involve her more in this story.
Is it me or was Hope especially rude and condescending today at the police station?
She always seems that way to me.

I'm hoping Abe gets involved soon. Maybe Lani goes to him. He was already suspicious too. Plus the Theo/Stefano angle.
I know it might not make much sense because I'm no fan of Stefano's but it makes me sad that Theo lost his grandfather.
Me too. If we get an Abe Theo scene where he tells him, I'll totally cry.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepAdam/Chelsea, oops! wrong soap - Brady/Theresa.
I think Summer will be their angst with Thrady coming out ok in the end. I do get that JG likes Thrady. I love Adam/Chelsea so why does Thrady remind you of them just curious?
It's not Thrady as a pairing that reminds me of Chadam, it is what Griffith did/does with Thrady reminds me of what he did with Chadam. Only the Chadam story was a little bit (mildly speaking) better written and executed. Chelsea had to give up her first born (rape) baby for adoption, she refused to take Victor's money (was it JG or still MAB?), and only then her redemption story via becoming a fashion designer started. She had no questionable history with Adam like Theresa has with Brady. And MM and MCE had good chemistry.
Griffith's similar efforts re: Thrady kinda concern me because I think we may be stuck with the pairing for a long time.
(I'm sorry if I sound insensitive re:Thrady, I know you like the pairing. I know from my own experience what it means when the majority of the board doesn't like the pairing or the character you like :) :) :) . All our opinions are subjective - different strokes for different folks.)
Oh the different opinions don't bother me. It would be boring if we all liked the same thing. I never thought of that as far as Chelsea's redemption and Theresa and Chelsea both being fashion designers. I am ok with being stuck with them for awhile. I also like Chabby and Stayla. So it's not all bad.

I wouldn't mind seeing Rafe and Hope get away with this. I like it that the tables are being turned on the Demiras for a change.
Me, too.

Just a few months ago Stefano ordered Hope be strangled to death. Both Andre and Stefano were thrilled to have that happen. I am enjoying the fact that Hope killed the dirty evil old bastard for something he may not have done. Pinning it on the evil insane Andre is sweet! Pay back is a bitch, and long long overdue! :blulaugh:

At this point I say, send Belle packing and bring Carrie back and somehow make her John and Marlena's biological daughter LOL I never bought her as Roman and Anna's daughter anyway, even when WN played Roman.
I will fight you to the death to have Carrie remain Anna's daughter.
I guess we can compromise, John can be the dad and Anna the mom. Marlena continues being the loving stepmother/ second mother figure she's always been.
I don't think you're gonna win this one, lol, but I don't think it matters. Imo, Marlena and John were always more like Carrie's parents anyway. I loved Anna too, and Anna obviously did love Carrie dearly. Anna was just too much of a free spirit to be tied down as a mom. When Carrie did go off to live with her the first time, Carrie came back a mess, lol.

How about we just leave everyone's histories intact...

John loves Carrie enough without any biology or DNA.

I thought VJ was terrific today. She made Ciara's pain and trauma seem real. I'm glad they only showed one Chase scene and focused on Ciara. Ciara and Theo's scene at the Horton house made me flash back to the scene Sami and Lucas had there in 94 when she told him Alan raped her. The scenes were different, but since they were at the same location I couldn't help but be reminded. I enjoyed Theo trying to help her, but then sort of being at a lost at how to help her. I thought that was realistic. Joey joining them was good too. Ciara is not going to go to the hospital and tell people she was raped. She's a 16 year-old who has just been through a horrific experience and is shaken. Most people in general do not report sexual assaults, so expecting a 16-year old to is unrealistic IMO. I do wish this story got more play today than some others, like the Daniel mess with Brady/Theresa/Nicole, but I can understand them not wanting to overload the viewers.

I enjoyed Shawn and Belle's fight at the beginning and him telling her sorry if that hurts your precious little feelings. I'm loving BB. Wish Shawn and Belle had more scenes today.

GV was great in those scenes with Jennifer. These are two lost people finding comfort in each other. I'm interested in seeing where this goes, but I wish GV wasn't leaving. Oh and Jennifer had to be high not to notice how upset Ciara was.

Interesting that Roman seems to have his doubts that Andre killed Stefano.

Not interested in this Summer story at all. I have no idea how they came up with this.

Wow! I do love GV, but I kind of wondered if people were overselling him on twitter and on here in terms of his performance. Damn...he really did take what they gave him and ran with it. I think I agree that he is doing some of the best acting of his career there.

I am so pissed that they had Chase rape Ciara...ENOUGH with the victimization of the young people on this show! Also, I am surprised at everyone's reaction to Brady's location shots...To me, it smacked of EM walking on a soundstage covered with sand toward a "green screen." It looked so fake to me!

Greg had a similar story as Lucky on GH,and that's when I fell for him. :wub2: :D

IMO,Greg and Rebecca Herbst and Kirsten Storms did fantastic jobs with Lucky's addiction.

Belle told Eric minimum 3 years. Maximum 14
I know it's normal soap writing but it still pisses me off that "good" characters truly go to jail and "bad" characters never do.
That's the reason I don't mind Andre being framed for murder even if he didn't do it. The seasoned criminals never see the inside of a jail but let the good guys make mistakes and they have to pay.

Yes, I remember that story. It was a shame that he had to wait for a writer's strike to get any material though. But he knocked it out then too! This is different though. You wouldn't expect an actor to play it different and I see a clear difference between Lucky Spencer addict and Eric Brady alcoholic.

The wardrobe person just tweeted that it was shot in Malibu. But yeah. It wasn't well done.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Roman should be super pissed after giving Rafe a second chance on the force.

I`m wondering if he will try to help Hope because he realizes she is just crazy with grief.
I was thinking the same thing.

How many times have the Dimeras gotten away with hurting people and not paying the price?

What if, as more people are dragged into the story, they decide to protect Hope/Rafe? Currently, they have Roman, Shawn, and John who are getting involved in some way. It could become an umbrella story about turning the tables on Andre. Of course, assuming he's staying on the show, he won't really go to prison, but that gives Andre a long list of people to go after.

I don't know how they can really repair the damage that has been done to Rafe/Hope. Even if Stefano is alive, Hope tried to kill him and Rafe initiated the cover up.
I have the feeling that all involved including Chad are suspicious that Hope may have killed Stefano but might be willing to look the other way and let Andre take the fall. That may be the only way to get the Demiras once and for all after all those years. I think Chad may be upset his father is dead but wants Andre out of the way too so he can get what is rightfully his. I don't like that Hope and Rafe are covering up a crime but I'm loving how Andre is being set up.

Oh I don't want to change history. Biology/DNA doesn't matter in this case. John and Marlena have always been Carrie's parents in my eyes. they spent more time raising her than her own parents did.

Them being her real parents would ruin that special bond for me. I'm fine with things as they are. I was mostly kidding lol
