He didn't get surgery. Josh's Roman was supposed to be the Roman they all recognized. |

Ugh! I think it would be much better had it been written that he got surgery to repair his face and that's why his face was bandaged. I just remember Marlena and everyone being cautious about believing it was Roman under the bandages. So maybe that's why I started to question if he got plastic surgery or not. |

Everything about this episode was A+. The opening high camera shot looking down on the windows at the Brady pub with the rain coming down and the thunder and lightening was a spectacular opening. The rest of the show did not disappoint - the only thing I would change is to cut some of Kate's stuff that seemed superfluous. Posted Image I know I'll complain as things smooth back out in the next few weeks, but if every episode gets this much attention to detail and the story lines improve greatly, reserving my right to snark endlessly when it doesn't, I will enjoy the next 6 months before Higley destroys it all again. ETA - I could list my "nitpicks" with this episode because I have a few, but considering the crapfest of horrible stories and falling production values we've seen since December this episode seems like a turning point that the worst of Higley has passed - for now.

Well. The comment in SOD about Ryan Quan having a lot of input in this episode and loving Kate and Victir definitely seems to be legit. Sigh. |

Even though I want Victor and Caroline to be together, I wouldn't be opposed to a Victor and Kate reunion. |

I actually loved Kate and Victor in Tuesday's episode. It was really the most relevant Kate has been in the past few years. I hope this is the Kate that moves forward... |

I take that as a positive then. I hope that this is what Ryan's work is like and that Dena regains very little control if that's the case. |

Yea I kind of feel the same. The Kate Victor was too much but I enjoyed most of the rest of it. Really enjoyed how they accurately depicted J&M's love also. |

I wanted more flashbacks! There were too few. I loved Deidre's cleavage in the 1996 one. |

They never said this was a group meeting for victims did they? I saw NOTHING wrong with Victor and Kate being there, they both had alot of history with Stefano, especially Kate. But I am so tired of John Aniston playing almost everything as comic relief, even scenes and dialogue that are "normal" (for lack of a better word) and don't call for it. Arianne Zucker used to do that alot too, before Daniel's death. It's so annoying and makes it harder to take the character seriously. |

I just caught up. I thought this was a good episode! Especially the ending with Stephano conducting was perfect, that moment that Hope saw Stephano in the pub was ominous, the "checkmate" toast by John was very fitting. As for things that may or may not be missing... as someone not steeped in knowledge of all the history, I think it gave a good idea of where Stephano stood in the minds of the people of Salem and the feeling of "good riddance" juxtaposed with some other softer emotions (by Kate) and guilt (by Hope for killing him), and even Victor with his long standing rivalry really worked for me (funny how Victor seems one of the "good guys" at the moment). All that really gave it a good balance. Also too many flashbacks could have bogged it down too much, and flashbacks that needed explaining just would have made it too complicated. (regretting not seeing all of Roman's history notwithstanding. I mean not all current viewers even know who Wayne Northrup is, so some explaining would be needed there.) And I think it best to let Hope not have an old flashback. She is very much in a different place to everyone else, and it would be strange for other people to have a flash back on her behalf. Also seeing all the talk about JT v WN makes my head spin (I don't personally have an issue with JT). I guess some characters really should stay dead, lol. Although, it seems to me, they do need some vets to remain as sort of anchors for the families of Salem. So what ya going to do, lol?? ... just my 2 cents worth here. |

Drake and Kristian were both awful during the Alamainia storyline four years ago, but the original Princess Gina storyline had some good stuff that could have been used. |

I agree and I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that with AZ (before Daniel's death) too. It got to the point where it seemed like always trying to deliver a punchline of a joke. |

I ultimately wasn't bothered by the lack of flashback because I found the great majority of the choices were of low to no effectiveness. I would have used this for Hope from Maison Blanche, 35-1:15. |
