Damn. The teens just tied Chase up, didn't they? Yikes. :scared:
With zip-ties, no less.

I was totally not expecting the teens to take Chase to a warehouse & bind him to a chair. I was already excited for these scenes, but after seeing these pics, I can't wait for next Wed/Thurs/Fri & just want to FF to them!

I'm happy to see Paul but...

I will be mad if they start a romance with Paul and Henry. Paul is 30, he should date a man, not a boy. I hope they won't go there.

If it's just another one of those little lessons about homophobia and tolerance, this is getting old. There's nothing progressive about showing your gay character once a month to talk about being gay. Make him a real character with a real story.
Paul is at the square. Marlena and Ari are also. And then they're kidnapped. Maybe he sees it happen and that's how he gets involved. It doesn't seem he's part of the John and Eduardo rescue of Marlena and Ari

He at least would help. Brady would go see if Maggie needed help making lemon bars.

The problem with that is that it would just make Theresa the poor victim and the intention would lead to Theresa being the one the majority would root for. That was the whole problem with the embryo stealing story. It was the beginning of Theresa being the victim, and bringing big bad Kristen back would only keep that scenerios going. While I'd love to see Theresa suffer, if it's at the hands of the evil Kristen it would only backfire on me because I'd have to put up with Theresa playing the victim again.
You're right.
That's why I don't want a big super-evil Kristen vs a poor scary eyed Theresa. I want Kristen to win because of her "charisma" :P (and her love to Brady, of course :P :P :P ).
I want snarky Kristen shading Theresa.....and Brady agreeing with her. Then dumping his lackluster baby mama. :D

Am I the only one tired of this "vigilante" stuff? Hope with Stefano/Malcolm, Joey/Ava, and now the teens/Chase- just go to the police. Geez. :rolleyes: It's not edgy.

I hope CS hasn't exaggerated Paul's role in this story. I have been waiting for something - anything - to happen with Paul for a very long time now. I will be really disappointed if they just have Paul in the background while the exciting story happens.

I'm glad that Gabi knows that Ari is missing. I would have been pissed if she had been kept in the dark. I wish Lucas would also be involved in looking for his granddaughter.

I don't know. I mean, it does bug on some level, but while it might not be "edgy" it is a twist on the soap standard of good guys going to the police and the bad guys NEVER actually being convicted of anything - either because they buy somebody off or because the police can never solve the case. If I had a dollar for every time a hero made the big "you'll pay for this" announcement, I'd be wealthy. Only, it also causes major eye rolls because you can bet if they say that, the villain is getting off scot free.

So, while I guess I probably should hate it, I don't hate it all that much. The Stefano cover-up bothers me the most, but that's as much because they turned Rafe back into the version of him that I never liked as anything. That, and Roman actually turning a blind eye to the whole thing.

The Joey/Ava cover-up bothers me slightly less. It's entirely consistent with Steve and, while Kayla was always a more buy the book person, it's not hard for me to buy that she doesn't want her son destroyed by Ava too. It could go in ways that will make me hate it, or it could be okay. The jury is still out.

The teen thing bothers me the least because they are teens. Ciara is already convinced that the police wouldn't believe her and its not hard for me to believe that they think they need to get Chase to confess or something. Again, since this hasn't even aired, it could go either way and make me hate it or be okay with it.

So tired of watching "good" characters doing bad things, even if it's "justified" somehow.

I don't necessarily trust his view on stories from Paul's standpoint. He also made it sound like there was a lot of Will and Paul after Sonny left and that wasn't the case. This is definitely more a J&M story with Paul somehow involved. I could see him maybe being more involved in the rescue at some point if he ends up held prisoner too.

I just want moments where the character and the actor can shine again. There was so much heavy stuff in the beginning with the shoulder injury, the coming out, the paternity, the denied love and then the writers changed and they wrote nothing substantial for him. It's been very frustrating.

I didn't like it when it was Hope because of the way the story was handled, and I don't like it now popping up in these other stories because it's so redundant (a problem the show is experiencing with more than one theme). I wouldn't mind a vigilante story that was handled better, though.

Understood. And while I think he's part of the action here, I don't think it's to the degree those stories he had in early 2015 were

Next week sounds more and more amazing.

The stuff with the teens is really surprising. Never expected that. It doesn't seem to go on too long though. They could play a really cool beat with Hope finding them where Hope realizes Ciara and the teens are now doing something she did when she was trying to avenge Bo. It's an opportunity for Hope to reflect on her recent actions. I really hope they touch on that.

I don't mind these vigilante stories. As esp13 said, the villains and bad guys have gotten away with things for too long in Salem without any punishment whatsoever so I can deal with Salemites finally going outside the law. The only thing I wish is that the years of frustration would be acknowledged. Let's have the characters bring up the history of crimes going unpunished, especially with the teens. It can warp their entire view of the justice system and cause them to act out and take matters into their hands. I mean, it makes sense. Roman bringing up Stefano and Andre's history last week helped alot IMO with his decision to cover for Hope. It is still wrong but at least you understand where the character was coming from and what brought them to that point. It's a soap. If characters made the right decisions and didn't do crazy stuff, there would be no stories and things would be bland.

Those pics look amazing! I am really excited for next week. I like the action and adventure. I also like seeing the teens band together to help Ciara.

I'm afraid the wedding scenes are going to be short with so much going on. We have Chad & Abby's wedding, Ari & Marlena kidnapped, and all of the teens + Hope confronting Chase going on all at once. I don't mean to step on the other stories, but I want this wedding to be good.

I know we had the BTS writer issues going on, but seemingly nothing happened in February. Couldn't have they had the wedding then when it could get the proper focus?

And I DETEST Kritter, but her character has a backstory that we saw unfold onscreen, rather than having a supercouple besmirched & a bunch of BS fanwanking to tell us why we should like her.

#TakeYourCookiesAndShoveEm #MySignatureStands
Um, except that's how Kristen happened too. A bunch of BS telling us why we had to like her. Using Alice Horton to heap praise upon the new Hesus of Salem, taking John and Marlena out of each other's orbit after a successful affair storyline and fan support, because of ageist PTB. That was spring, summer and much of fall of 1993. And then 1994.

So... no thanks.

Adding in the teens and Hope confronting Chase Friday seems too much when there's a wedding and gunfire at a hostage recovery also going on.

I really hope this doesn't end up with Chase getting killed and Hope covering for the teens. :shame:
Well, since Chase is clearly still alive when Hope arrives and the spoilers say Hope angrily asks Chase what he did to Ciara (or something close to that), it seems pretty unlikely the teens are going to kill Chase.

Maybe Chase has internal bleeding after Joey and Theo attacked him and he dies while he's tied up, talking to Hope.
Always expect the worst case scenario with JG.
I know where you are coming from. I theorized in an earlier thread that the teens would take Chase & think they killed him and dump him somewhere. And then Chase comes back with Aiden and terrorizes them a la "I Know What You Did Last Summer."
