I want to know what Chad's reaction is going to be when he finds out Hope killed him.

I hope when he finds out he make her life miserable and Rafe too.
I'd agree with this, but I have a hard time buying that Chad would be all that upset about Stefano being murdered or even being upset that he's dead.
I think he will be even though he wasn't close to his father. He loved his father no matter how angry he was at him and if he finds out Hope killed his father and Andre was right the whole time I'm sure he's going to get revenge on Hope and his boring boyfriend to frame his brother Andre for killing thier father. I can't wait .

Caroline went home, hopefully for good! She's got her own damn family who can look out for her.
Maggie agrees with you! :D

Ok, i must ask but when did Kayla and Steve remarry? Did I miss a quick scene or something cause everyone keeps saying your husband or wife?
They're not married. I think it's just a shortcut. "Your ex-husband/fiance" is a mouthful.

You didn't miss anything. They're just glossing over the divorce thing apparently. :rolleyes:


Thank you! I didn't think they did and today is not the first time I've noticed it, I just thought the ore is ones were just forgetful glitches. And I'm not complaining, I still see them as husband and wife.

Andre needs to find the proof of what really happened to Stefano and then go after the 2 idiot cops- Hope and Rafe. They need to pay big time. No way should they get away with this. I want them to pay big time!!

It was nice to see Justin again. I hope we don't have to wait another 3 weeks to see him again.

Loved how protective Steve is of his family.

It was decent episode- the only bright spots were Justin/Victor and Steve/Kayla/Joey.

Everything else sucked as usual.

That still makes no sense to me. Why would he even care that Andre was being framed? Andre almost destroyed his relationship with Abby.

This was a damn good episode. Dena may suck but Mark Higley, her husband, is a very good SW. Then again, he was the one that she supposedly wrote through during the writer's strike in 2008 so he has shown to be pretty talented. He would probably be a better HW then her. He really seems to get the characters.

I don't like what Hope and Rafe did but that isn't because I feel it's out of character or because I didn't understand their reasons. It was because we didn't see them even struggle with it and they both seemingly became ok with it. Hope showed a little struggle but got over it quite fast and, especially when they framed Andre, it just didn't feel like there was enough focus on how much of a struggle this was for them. Well, at least in regards to Hope, we got that today big time. That scene with Hope and Roman was BRILLIANTLY written and made some sense out of the garbage Higley put out there. What they did wasn't right and what Roman is doing isn't right either but they took the time to deal with the emotions of the situation and what Hope was going through and brought up the history of the Dimera's, in particular Andre, getting away with crimes for decades. I don't think this ruins anyone. Yes, it's wrong but it's not like the Brady's have ever not gone by the book. Never have they done something this extreme but at some point EVERYONE breaks and 3 decades of the Dimera's messing with them in unspeakable ways and the stain of everything they had recently gone through and the thought that Stefano was responsible for what happened to Bo (which acts as the final straw) makes me accept the fact that they did this and I understand it. No, it's not right but this is a soap and if characters made the right decisions there would be no stories. Today really helped get me on board with Hope again and I really understood why Roman did it and loved the way it was handled. Hope looking at Roman and mentioning she took a life, even if it was Stefano's, and asking Roman if he thought she was still a good person was what this story had been missing. That was the real Hope. Loved that scene. I need Rafe to have a scene like that because his character IMO has taken more of a hit than Hope and I have confidence with JG clearly now in control we will get it.

The Chad stuff with Andre was great. TP and BF brought it and it's the first time I've liked Andre in months. The scene with Abby was awesome too. Just fantastic writing that really enhanced Chad's character.

I'm not a huge fan of the visions and wish they weren't so selective. However, I did like the Caroline/Deimos stuff and today was the first time I finally was invested in the Deimos stuff. It's starting to come together now and we now have him at the center of alot of story. And I like the buildup today with the discovery that Deimos may be behind what happened to Bo. True, it was all done in one episode but man was it chilling, especially the call Hope got.

That Victor/Justin scene was VERY interesting. We know Sonny is back so now I'm really interested in seeing if Sonny becomes more Kiriakis-like. Intriguing.

The Ava stuff was handled as well as it could be. JL was better today IMO. SN and MBE aced it as well. The story is moving fast but that is ok because I don't feel like you can go too long with it anyway but I liked the tone and execution of the scenes.

Today felt like it was taken right out of the Fall. We've been getting more and more Griffith influence the past few weeks but today was the first episode since November that felt completely like him through and through from writing to tone to style and right down to the acting. Everyone brought it today. The performances were great and you can tell the cast is far more motivated for JS writing. Today showed that. It was literally like night and day and today felt like a way of trying to put all the garbage of the past 3 months behind us. Things moved quite fast and we were set on different courses quite quickly today. Much like what happened in August/September. It is jarring but I don't mind after the hell of the last 3 months.

I will enjoy the next few months without Dena. Today was just so damn good and it's a shame that as we watch all his unfold we will all be dreading Dena's eventual return.

Unpopular opinion, but I didn't miss Caroline or her visions the last couple of months.

Still waiting for her to remember that she has a grandson who could use her love and support.
I'm still waiting for Brady and Theresa to realize Eric needs their support.

I missed yesterday, what did Ava do that made Joey snap?
Joey went to party with the girl named Claudia and he got drunk and went home and Kayla told him Ava was here in their house uncontious. He got angry went to hospital go to her room and told her why can't you stay away from my family and there's a way to do it. He pulled her pillow and put it on her mouth and smothered her and killed her. Steve went to Ava's room and saw Joey killed her so he covered it up for him.

I don't give 2 shits that Hope killed dirty bastard Stefano and is framing Andre for it. After all those 2 have done, they deserve worse. LOL Why nobody took them out decades ago is a mystery. They don't deserve to live. Stefano had a heart and cared about his children? Since when? :blulaugh:

I HATE that they have written Joey as Ava's killer. She deserved to die, but not at the hands of likable dumbass Joey. :rolleyes:

I'm going to have to watch this show as a dark comedy. It is too stupidly written for it to be anything else.

You absolutely right about Andre. I know he doesn't care about his brother but Rope lied to his face over and over and he believed them not his own brother.

Kudo's to James Lastovic ... His portrayal of a guy in shock after killing Ava was very well done. His scenes with Stephen were top-notch. I knew Steve would confess, that's a given. He did the same when he showed up at Adrienne's apt. right after she had shot and killed Duke. The only difference is that Adrienne was so deep in shock she completely blocked the event out where as Joey knows exactly what he did ... he just doesn't know what came over him so to speak. I'm just wondering how far this will go before Joe speaks up or will he speak up at all. I'm interested in watching this play out.

I suspected that Roman knew what happened to Stefano from the looks he kept giving both Rafe and Hope when they were at the precinct. I know that Roman is very much a 'by the book' cop but I didn't think he would turn Hope in. And I do have to agree, Andre does deserve to pay for all the crimes he did get away with. I have no sympathy at all for Andre. Saying that doesn't mean I like how this storyline played out ... I never liked it right from the beginning. I'm just not going to care that Andre goes to jail for something he didn't do.

So was that Dr. Malcolm that called Hope or was it Deimos. Is Dr. M still alive or did he just show up today in Caroline's vision. I don't see how he could be alive as they did find his body in the park. (What am I say, since when is dead in Salem ever dead?) I like that Vic called Hope and told her they should investigate to see if Deimos and Dr. Malcolm could have been responsible for Bo's kidnapping. Now Hope is wondering if she might have killed the wrong man ... I'm glad she didn't say an innocent man. Stefano was a lot of things but innocent wasn't one of them.

Enjoyed the Andre / Chad scenes. Really enjoyed the Chad / Abby scenes. Good dialogue.

All in all I thought the dialogue was great today. Some really good acting from James Lastovic and Billy Flynn enhanced the written words. I'd say this was a good episode, something I haven't said about any episodes lately.

There is something very poetic about Stefano being killed because of something he didn't do and Andre being put away for something he didn't do even though he has had disdain for Stefano over the years and was hinting at trying to take the empire back in the Fall when he returned. And then there is everything Andre got away with. It's actually IMO would be a cool way to write off both of these characters had they handled Stefano's death better with better buildup and handled the initial fallout better. The issue is Higley was writing all of that instead of JG or someone better and she took all the potential out of it and executed it horrible. I just think the ingredients were there to put a ironic and poetic end to the "old guard" of the Dimera's and if the story was handled the way it was today all along, it could've worked better.

Was that Deimos that made that mysterious call to Hope?

Never mind, it was probably Dr. Malcolm.

I think Chad is going to be angry about them lying to his face, because he asked Hope twice if she have anything to do with his father's disappearance and she lied twice. she could have gotten away with it if she just told them she shot him in self defense who wouldn't have believe that.

Even though I've always been strongly Team Hope since she was a little girl, I was completely against her killing Stefano, involving Rafe in the cover-up, and potentially getting away with it. That said, I'm inexplicably happy that Roman is on board and plans to let it slide!
