Great episode today! I was definitely entertained, and enjoyed all of the stories.

I won't repeat what everyone else has said, but I saw a complaint somewhere about making this a Hernandez story. I see Rafe playing a supporting role here. He wants to help, and he's trying to help Gabi as well. I don't see anything wrong with that. It makes sense. His niece is kidnapped and his father is the one that brought this into their lives. I see this turning more into a John story as it progresses next week.

Yea I think this actually could spin off a lot of story. John's back story gets focus. Marlena trying to get him home. JJ supporting Gabi though it. Rafe's issues with Eduardo.

And the stuff next week

We've been complaining about the lack of UMBRELLA story lines for so long. The is the perfect example of one. Marlena and Ari being kidnapped touches so many different people...Love that this story is including- Marlena, John, Eduardo, Gabi, JJ, Rafe, Steve, Hope, Lani, Demois, and Paul...Plus eventually Belle and Dario i'm assuming...

Today's show was FABULOUS. Best show since the Fall by far.

The John and Eduardo warehouse scenes were incredible. That is how you successfully do a location shot. Wow, that totally intensified those scenes. Love the shooters on the rafters and the door opening to reveal Marlena and Ari. Plus just loved the lighting in this scenes. And I actually thought Eduardo wearing a backwards hat was pretty realistic...Why exactly does that bother people? Very excited for the coming few weeks of this story and the stories that spring from it...

Ciara, Chase, Hope, Theo, Joey, Claire- LOVED this scenes. VJ was fantastic and has really come into the role with this story...She was pretty terrible her first few months. But today was just excellent work and she really delivered with this powerful material. I loved the reveal to Hope. Can you imagine what she's feeling right now?? Her daughter raped by someone she's been raising as a son. Just terrible. And my heart melted with Ciara and Theo at the end. Days has a goldmine with these two and both actors will be sticking around for awhile!!

Kind of a different episode today. I felt that the Deimos / Philip / girls father story line was good. It shows that now Deimos wants Philip to work with him. I wonder how far that will go or if Philip will play in to the ruining of Victor. I wonder how the girls dad knew that Philip was involved & Deimos just happened upon their confrontation...
The Ciara story I really thought was going to play out longer than it did. I don't think there is any future for the character of Chase now and speculate he'll be leaving our screens soon. I am pretty sure that he has scenes in May with Aiden or maybe they are visions of someone? I agree with other posters that a hospital scene with Ciara & Hope would have been beneficial to the story & to viewers. And I hate that I am saying this but please burn the Horton couch. I loved the Theo & Ciara hand holding. It was sweet & I think it was showing other rape victims that you can still have normal relationships after rape.
I did like the John/Eduardo story going forward. I think they are being respectful to the Udell twins age during this kidnapping. I find this story line exciting. Not a bad day.

The warehouse scenes looked much better today than they did in the promo. The size of the set was cool, how they walked around and the shooters from above. I loved the doors opening and seeing Marlena and Ari

But I agree. This is the closest thing to an umbrella story in a long time and the kidnapping is just the kicking off point.

They really are making Rafe look like a moron. Not that that's too hard.
No, it's definitely not.

Let's all just be thankful that TPTB found something for the moron to do so we didn't have to suffer though Rafe seeing Hope run off after getting the call from Ciara & later going to the Horton house to check on Hope & having Hope tell Rafe what happened between Ciara & Chase.

Honestly the way this has played out makes it more likely that Chase can stay rather than less. It's been weeks since it happened. There's no forensic evidence. Unless she's pregnant, it's going to be impossible to prove much of anything. It's just a matter of she said/he said. A competent lawyer will tell Chase to shut up and plead out to a lesser charge at worst. It's also possible that he never goes to court because there's no other physical evidence to support her side of the story.

That isn't to say he should get off scot free but that could totally could, especially if Andre gets out of his mess and backs Chase. His being able to remain free in town and trying to either earn forgiveness or just make it through could be an interesting story itself.

The teens left Ciara to talk to Chase. After Ciara was done yelling at Chase, she called Hope to meet her and Chase at the warehouse. When Hope got there, Ciara told her what happened. Hope called for backup. Chase was arrested when 2 other cops arrived.

Honestly, I was expecting a lot more from the Hope reveal. Bummer.
Very disappointing fallout. I thought there would be more to that story than that. Typical for this show I guess.
I'm pretty positive it's not over.

Yeah I have a feeling Hope and Ciara both will have a lot more emotion to process, that they might try to suppress, but it will pop up.
It doesn't just go away. For a rape victim, the memory is there, and it affects your life in many ways, both obvious and subtle.

I'm guessing there will be a trial for Chase. And maybe under that pressure he might remember his mother's death.

I don't like the warehouse set.
I thought it looked like a webseries.

Maybe it was overlit because they needed to contrast the two uses of it in the same episode. But the solution to that is to find somewhere else for the Chase/Ciara scenes.

Hope was a weak point for me today. I didn't like how KA played it at all. She seemed worried, but not really affected. Maybe that will come later?

Nah. She just enjoys being hysterical at the police station in her spare time.

I'd rather see them make Claire's Phillip's daughter -- much neater ;) -- but it's even weaker than first cousins once removed, because Bo and Kayla are half-siblings.
Why Philip is a piece of shit and Belle is a horrible mother. Why would you want Phiiip as Claire's father just for some stupid pairing that won't even last??

It's the same thing they did with Brady and Theresa. and It's bad writing at its worst in my opinion. We can get new male characters for Claire. Heck JT Reiber comes to mind.

Why not make Belle Roman's while we're at it!!! :rolleyes: changing paternities just makes women look bad IMO. And they already doing enough of that.

Besides Shawn is perfect as her father and she has awesome chemistry with both Jason Cook and Brandon Beemer. Than she's ever shown with Martha or any other family member so far.

Claire is Shawn's daughter and a Brady!!! end of story.

I'm not that impressed by Ciara's actress (can't remember her name) in these scenes. She's not bad. But hell YES to her telling him all of this.

granolagirl and I were just joking around about how it'd be possible for Joey and Claire to date. Making Claire Philip's was considered the "neater" option because it would cut all blood ties. (Technically, they could still date as first cousins once removed, but that's a little weird).

From my end, it had nothing to with liking Philip. LOL. I like Shawn D as her dad. I just don't like Jade so far and think Claire/Joey would be more interesting. I mean, now that Chase is a definite no go, Claire doesn't have a potential suitor either. :shrug:

As it stands, Claire as the daughter of Belle and ShawnD is:
Evans, Black, Horton, Williams, Kiriakis, and (whatever Caroline's maiden name is).
Claire is related to almost everyone in town, and doubly-related to some characters.

Joey is a Brady and (whatever Caroline's maiden name is).
He is a Johnson and (whatever Jo Johnson's maiden name is).

But their romance options don't have to be limited.
Claire's potential suitor could be a girl or a boy.
Joey's potential suitor could be a girl or a boy.
They could bring in Chloe's little sister Joy Wesley.
They could bring in JT Reiber.
