What an uplifting and happy show! Again, nothing happy is occurring on Days. :drunk: So what was in the thermos, and why was Ed wearing a ball cap backwards? :blulaugh: |

Thank you. If I hadn't been told this was a story about John's past, I would totally be thinking this was a Hernandez family story. John barely had a line. All that standing around in that room with stupid Rafe trying to figure out what was going on was torture. It was all just to get Rafe's reaction to the situation and to make sure we know how pissed Rafe is at Eduardo. I don't care about that, get on with the story, or let me hear from John. |

I would have liked for them to put in the scene of Ciara at the hospital too. I think it's an important step that needed to be emphasized for rape victims. Take some of the confusion and fear away by letting viewers hear what happens in a follow up exam. Show Ciara's relief at knowing her body isn't in jeopardy any longer. It bugs me when the show glosses over responsible storytelling. |

Yeah, my problem is the lack of build in the fallout. Ciara telling Hope should have been a huge moment that they built over a few episodes. This just seems rushed. I know the fallout's not over, but they're really failing at building the emotion in these moments for me. This pacing, in general, feels a lot like ATWT felt in its last few years. A few stories (hello Meg and Paul!) drag, and the rest is just rushed with little to invest in. It drove me crazy. JG's writing style generally lacks oxygen. There's so much happening that none of the stories have time to breathe, which undercuts so much of what used to make soaps great. |

All in all I thought today was another good episode. I'm not a fan of JPL's Philip but I do think he fits the role of Victor and Kate's spoiled son. And Deimos ... although I don't like anything he does I can't help but be engaged by his character. I think a lot of that has to do with VI's performance. I already feel like Deimos belongs as the new resident villain of the piece ... I don't think that would have happened if the role was played by someone other than VI. Again I thought the teens were the highlight of the show. I'm with a lot of other people - why aren't they playing out the familial aspects of these characters more. I agree if I hadn't been watching when Claire was born I'd never know that Hope was her grandmother. Joey and Claire are cousins ... have they even mentioned that? The only family connection we've heard lately is Deimos referring to Phil as his nephew and Phil calling Deimos Uncle. The Ciara, Chase confrontation was okay. I do think that Chase is unstable ... I wonder if these scenes were done to illustrate that. The dialogue was very good. I'm glad that Ciara did not resort to violence and that she called her mother and told her that Chase raped her. Although we didn't see Hope taking Ciara to the hospital at least they mentioned it and the fact she was tested for HIV and pregnancy. Also happy that Ciara has agreed to go to counselling. Sweet moment with Theo and Ciara when she took his hand. The kidnapping stuff was okay. Rafe is clearly confused by John's connection to Eduardo's past but at least he gave them the hour to try and rescue Marlena and Ari. John and Eduardo really scoped that place out ... I can't help but believe they have some plan in mind even though they're drinking that doctored drink from the thermos. Tomorrow should be exciting! |

Ciara's reaction to Chase was good..to Hope was poor.. I do love Joey smacking Chase on the face. |

Here's my speculation the drink John/Eddie drank was THE formula. Used to unlock the memories of John and maybe Eddie's past, but something goes wrong. Maybe things go wrong, maybe even Rafe comes in, Eddie is shot and John is kidnapped from the kidnappers. Going from Petrov to John's father.. Just my guess. |

LOL. I don't know the difference. That's what I would have liked to have seen though. Not a bridal shower. Edited by Restless84, Mar 10 2016, 03:04 PM.

Theo - ''So your dad really got arrested for killing that Ava woman" Claire- "Wow not my idea of small talk" I will forever love Claire for that line!! |

I loved it because it was such a Johnson thing to do-- Reminded me of his dad. The killing of Ava aside, it seems right that Ciara's cousin and niece would have her back. |

A bridal shower is gifts, snacks, and playing dumb wedding themed games. Kids can go. A bachelorette party is drinking, strippers, etc. |
