Is there a reason why Nicole has to lie to Theresa about this?
How long til the mean Theresa re-appears? This nonsense with Brady being obsessed by
dreams is ridiculous. Watching Days live for the first time in years! So weird!

The S/K stuff is just stupid. I would totally be on board if this was over the Africa stuff, but Ava raping Steve and them making it sound like adultery? Spare me.
It sounds completely horrible and totally as an affair.
Did anybody think the show was going to play it differently? I mean Kayla finds out from a video which I'm sure doesn't have Ava's threats on it and only after Steve lied to her. Of course she's going to view it as a major betrayal and question everything.

But, he also got a chance to explain and tell her what happened. Just because she didn't immediately fall into his arms doesn't mean that she won't get to a place of understanding at some point.

I mean, I hate this storyline, but the idea that everything should be black and white and there should be no room for reactions doesn't make any sense to me either.
Yeah... I could have seen this playing out in different ways, but with Ava presenting it like an affair (and gotta be honest, Days PR too), I wanted to see Kayla get to react to that. It undercuts her character if she doesn't get to show normal reactions to things.

Steve has already said to Joey that he didn't feel that he betrayed her. They are never going to have him come out and say "I was raped." But Ava's POV is not going to be the last word on what happened.

I'm bummed that Ava and Hope didn't interact at all during this run and the fact that she only had one scene with Nicole.
I'm grateful for that. There are enough scenes with Hope. :-/

I absolutely think she should be able to react. But I don't think they ever get to a place where this is treated like what it was. She'll forgive him eventually because of who they are as a couple. Not because the show tells the story right.
I don't disagree. And you know I've been very vocal about what it was. But if the show isn't going to treat it as rape, there isn't much anyone can do. So, for me, the question is how do they deal with it? And the only way to do that is to have reactions from both POV's. Everything I read today on Twitter was spot on, from that perspective. I'll have to see how it plays when I watch, but from Twitter it didn't even sound like Kayla refused to believe Steve when he finally explained, but more that she didn't know how to process it all. The fact that Steve lied to her about it certainly isn't helping matters.

And if they aren't going to tell the story they should have told with this, then at least they can tell the story they are telling right. And, for me, this was a good start. We'll see where it goes from here.

Oh, Jesus. Of course they're playing that song in the bar that Dario just so happens to work at. Are they for real with this story?

That song Brady has in his dream is annoying since they play it over and over.

THESE are the Belle scenes I've been waiting for for months! This conversation with Marlena is really, really good.

Philip opening up to Victor is something I wasn't expecting. And he looks SO much better with his hair trimmed!

i actually would understand theresa going after brady, whom she is in a relationship with, more than nicole going after daniel's heart, which she pretty much has never been in a relationship with because .....like.....who has? The person really getting screwed in this whole storyline is Eric Martsof, who has basically been forced to become Daniel and screw whatever his character had going on.

the shrew bought a club with stolen money....a club owned by one of the enemies of the man she stole the money from....for why???

I don't think I've heard one word that Dario has said. Jordi Vilasuso is HOT!

Good scenes today from MBE and SN! Today's episode is weird, though. I don't think the mix of stories flow well together at all.

In California, Brady runs into a familiar face, Dario, now played by Jordi Vilasuso, as he searches for the mystery woman.
I`m about to join the list of peopple going to CA. I`m not going for Daniel`s memories though. I want to get me some of that new bartender Brady just met. Dario is HOT!

Can somebody feed my dog while I`m gone?

:poof:

Oh, God. When Belle got choked up talking about Claire, I actually teared up. Lol. MM played that really well.

Thank you JCP.

Why isn't Kayla asking him why he didn't get help or threaten Ava with kidnapping if she didn't tell where she was?

I just hate the Ava story, because she is always the one in control and nobody can beat her.

Can Brady stay in LA and Dario come back to Salem? And just be shirtless every day?

I am a Theresa fan but her insecurities about Brady and Nicole are getting old and she might should be more worried about this Summer chick. So what's everyone's thoughts on Summer...crazy or not crazy?
