Yep saw it in soap opera digest

[dfwtxpatrick]

Hey Michelle,

I like to watch Starting Over, Days, Passions & Ellen. I usually work from the house, so I can turn on the TV in the garage and watch these while I am working.

I also have a portable radio that plays the local TV stations so I can keep up w/ what is going on.

I know how you feel about Days, I have several theorys about what is going on.

Marlena is not possessed, she is having a mental split. The sneak peek for tomorrow showed her saying she is innocent. She'll be found guilty by means of insanity, go through counseling and all will be right w/ the world.

Thats my theory anyway.

Just wished they would move onto a more interesting plot line.

I would like to know how they plan to fill the shoes of everyone they killed off. Anyway.

[michelle]

omg, if you don't mind real spoilers, check this page out

i read it every day. tomorrow's eppi looks awesome!

cool paddy! you watch too :)

[Boom booms]

michelle - i watch it - esp now that its on the soap network...i was growing frustrated though - how long does it take to kill alice already but finally it happened. i cant figure out where they're going with this whole marlena thing though..

ps - im devastated that belle is leaving - she's hot!

[michelle]

belle's leaving? i thought shawn was...

hey click on the spolier above! let me know what you think! it looks juicy tomorrow.

btw, she did kill alice yesterday but they didn't show it thank god. IT'S SO STUPID THOUGH. they say she killed her with her donuts. LOL. i was rolling when marlena bit into one and said "damn. should've gotten the recipe!"

i heard there is a major twist in this storyline in may. so KEEP WATCHING!

[Boom booms]

i was waiting to see alice face first in the pile of doughnuts... ha

tomorrow does look good!

[michelle]

if you want to laugh hysterically, look through these screen caps. i absolutely love them and find myself trying to keep in my laughter here at work. some of them are that good!

I know it's gonna come down to John being accused of being the Salem Stalker (SS).

Marlena denies the charges against her from John in the eppi preview I watched today. So we will just have to see!

[LoDown3]

wasnt she possessed, too??? My mom loves that crazy stuff...i cant watch it cuz marlena is too scary :eek:

[Mr. Dibbs]

I watch days anytime I have a chance to. I don't think this ends the serial killer plot. According to the producer, it's only the end of chapter 2, the last chapter is next.

[nsanders]

Michelle:

I have watched Days since the mid 70's ... big fan!

As far as the SK storyline ...

I am starting to think the big twist in May is that Marlena is NOT the SK. I don't know how, but I think JER is JERkin' us around.

I am FED UP with Belle, and THRILLED to hear she is leaving (if it is true). Everything has been about her. Shawn has lost half of his family, yet he always ends up comforting her (instead of vice versa).

It is good to find a fellow Days fan here at SU. I have some good site if you are interested.

P.S. Just did some checking ... It looks like Jason Cook is only leaving the role of Shawn temporarily to do some type of mini series or something. Shawn will remain (recast), and Jason Cook will return to role.

As far as Belle, I can't seem to find anything that says that Kirsten Storms is actually leaving. She was doing some type of TV pilot, but there was no confirmation that she would be leaving the show (temporarily or otherwise). Probably because they are unsure whether the pilot will be accepted or not.

[michelle]

hoohooo! i'm interested! i too frequent a couple of Days forums and try to make sense of the mess that's been going on. do share!

[michelle]

ah i know beth's days page. it's really good! these are all great links. thanks for sharing! i'm glad i found a Days buddy here too :)

[Boom booms]

i've read dustins for years!

[nsanders]

Yeah, Dustin is the man! He usually has the most up-to-date, accurate information.

[michelle]

this week's shows have been awesome. i can't wait for tomorrow's. marlena wakes up and says she's innocent in front of everyone. and the sami has this big grin. ughhh i hate her!

[nsanders]

Just read some spoilers on Dustin's site. Allegedly, Hattie is the SK, not Marlena. I hope this is NOT JER's big twist because this HAS been done before (i.e. using a look-a-like for the "fall guy").

So many things just don't add up with this whole storyline.

[michelle]

i know, i hope it's not hattie. they say the twist will be something that's never been done before on daytime tv. rightttttt....here's hoping.

[nsanders]

Michelle:

Big News!!!!!

Jack is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!

[michelle]

omg!!! does that mean he didn't really die?? :eek:
wow! hey, i read the spoilers and the killer appears to be hattie? what??
i am so confused! i can't wait till may. that twist better be jaw dropping. do you think it's all a dream?

[WallaceD]

Do I watch soaps?

No.

[nsanders]

There are a whole bunch of theories flying around! But, the only confirmed return that I have heard is Matthew Ashford as Jack (a "living" Jack, not a ghost).

Woo, hoo!!! I am thrilled! I am also curious on how this is going to pan out. I mean, they donated his organs!

[michelle]

exactly! so interesting. but jack is so funny. i love his comic relief. and speaking of that, you know, bart is coming back too :p

[nsanders]

I LOVE BART!!! I have missed him. There is a rumor that Rolf is not dead, too. They made a pretty good team.

[Boom booms]

those two were a match made in heaven ;-)

[michelle]

i loved scenes with bart and mimi! :D people are actually rooting for bonnie and bart to get together to be the next power couple. go barnie! lol

[nsanders]

OMG, what a disaster waiting to happen!

Maybe Bart can sing at Bonnie's new country western bar (let's hope that the bar is part of a bad dream).

[michelle]

are you dying to see julie fly off the mechanical bull on april 12th :D

[nsanders]

Please make this a dream sequence ...

[Mr. Dibbs]

didn't Jack die by getting hit with a gun and not shot?

[Mantichora]

I have not watched a Soap Opera on TV since Dark Shadows was in its first run.

Makes me a little old......but Angelique still gets my motor running...Lara Parker....HoooHahhh!

[nsanders]

didn't Jack die by getting hit with a gun and not shot?

No, he got hit in the head with a brick. Evidently, he had horrible brain damage, and Jennifer had to "pull the plug." Abby was very bitter that her mom "killed her dad." Right after she pulled the plug, some guy got an organ transplant from him. This has been a topic of much controversy because Jack had Hodgkin's disease, and he shouldn't have been able to donate any organs.

Is the ISA hiding him to protect him?

[Mr. Dibbs]

wow, i always thought the killer was going to shoot him then all i saw was him getting knocked out

[michelle]

the killer shot abe.

[Mr. Dibbs]

I saw that part...the whole Jack killing is where I didn't watch much

[nsanders]

I think that everyone has been killed differently (with a different weapon). However, Marlena sure has taken a liking to that letter opener of hers.

Abe: shot
Jack: brick to the head
Maggie: booze bottle to the head
Cassie: don't know how exactly she was killed (slashed?), but she fell out of a pinata all bloody
Caroline: poisoned
Tony: tiger attack AND poisoned (or drugged)
Roman: slashed with a scalpal
Doug: stabbed with a letter opener
Alice: (don't get me started with the donuts)

I think that is everyone.

[michelle]

i wish she would have really killed jan when she stabbed her in the bed. but no, all she got out of that was an arm wound. a freakin arm wound for the dozen times marloonie stabbed her! geeeeez. jan's like a roach. but i'm glad she was recast. the new jan is not as annoying as the old one. but anyway, jan is so stupid to be stalking shawn. doesn't she know he has the hots for sexyrex? lollllll. they call him queer boy at ms. tenille's forum...have you checked out her hilarious screencaps, nicky?

[nsanders]

I haven't been to that site in a while. I will make a point to go check it out.

Jan is an idiot, and I have not figured out why they brought her back. I know that if I had been stabbed (even if it was only in the arm), and some hooker (Nicole) stitched me up with her sewing kit, I'd be feeling a little rougher than Jan has. Does she even remember that she was stabbed at all?

At this point, Shawn and Jan deserve each other.

Regarding the recast ... It always seems that when they recast a character, they TOTALLY change their personality. This is what I am hoping for in Jan. Then, maybe we won't mind so much when JER hooks up Jan with Shawn (and he will).

[michelle]

that's ok. i want philip to be with belle :) he's lonely!

[nsanders]

Lol ... Ita

[nsanders]

MAY SWEEPS ALERT!!!! (Got this info from what appears to be a reliable source on the Salem Place message board.)

Jim Reynolds (Abe), Matt Ashford (Jack), Suzanne Rogers (Maggie), Peggy McCay (Caroline), Josh Taylor (Roman), Bill Hayes (Doug), and Frances Reid (Alice) are all returning to "DAYS."

The "twist" will involve Marlena's pillow and the pin-prick she got on her finger.

[michelle]

i knew it!!!! i remember that scene. i thought alice retired though?

[nsanders]

No, I heard she was "fired." Some of the controversy came from the fact that we all were under the impression that she had a lifetime contract.

[Boom booms]

julie is going a little crazy lately..can we say anger management?!!?

[michelle]

hilarious! :D

[nsanders]

At least Julie is showing SOME emotion! She just lost her husband. Her uncle is being swindled by a gold-digging floozy. And, the main suspect for her husband's murder just showed up at the funeral. I applaud her!

Look at all of the other people that have lost loved ones ... They mourn for about 2 seconds, then move on.

[michelle]

gotta give it to marlena though. her acting has been phenomenal. i loved her on monday as hattie. spitting the gum on tonto, i mean bo's forehead was the best. i'm sure a lot of them had to do outtakes on that episode.

[nsanders]

My favorite was when she was choking on the donut, and spit it all over Sami!!

F-U-N-N-Y!

[nsanders]

OMG! Marlena gets killed this week!

[michelle]

um, but i read that the people who've been killed AREN'T REALLY DEAD!!!! arrrghhh! i can't stand this! what do you think?

[kleinang]

i think maybe some of the writers from passions have started writing for days :hee:

[michelle]

do you watch too angie?

[kleinang]

Every day :D

[michelle]

what's your take on the storyline.

[kleinang]

maybe it was a test to see how mad people would get if they killed off half the cast :confused: i think it will all end up being some big dream or something?

[nsanders]

Isn't James Reilly head writer for both Days and Passions?

There are so many theories flying around it is hard to figure. With James Reilly's "never been done before" crack, it seems to make it even more difficult. I am sticking with these two theories:

1. It is all happening in Marlena's mind from the finger prick from the pillow she got in Stephano's will.

OR

2. It is all happening in Bo and Hope's minds (they are still in comas) from the attack at the fashion show.

But, who knows?

[michelle]

marlena "dies" today. this episode, along with tomorrow's, is so sad.

[nsanders]

I'm a little sick of Marlena myself. I could do with a little less face time from her (since I don't really believe she is gone for good). What is "sad" to me is the fact that Sami is continuously blaming EVERYONE for her mother's condition/death: John, Kate, Bo, etc.

[michelle]

i hate it when sami whines like that. i want john to sock her a good one!!!

[michelle]

oh crap. i just read some spoilers that marlena is being buried alive. good god, not again. they did that 11 years ago and it freaked the hell out of me. i hate stuff that involves coffins and dead people. agh. isn't the twist on friday?

[kleinang]

some characters just never die :huh:

[kleinang]

a good example of a character that could go away is jan and her old lady act

[Boom booms]

ok so i missed thurs/fri.. fill me in on how exactly marlena has been buried alive - is that the "big twist"????

[michelle]

ugh, she WAS dead but somehow came alive again. i was too freaked out to watch so i just read spoilers. read here for this week's
http://www.vaethnet.com/mstennille/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=697
she's going to be "transported" to a "duplicate" salem, on this island in the middle of nowhere, where all the victims are alive and well. i think it's so stupid. i just don't get it.
here is tomorrow's spoiler:
http://deidre-tammy.com/dayahead/dayaheadpictures.htm

[Boom booms]

that is dumb

[nsanders]

Dumb or not ... I am THRILLED that they are bringing back ALL of the "dead" characters. Including Victor!

[Boom booms]

well yea they had to bring them back i mean my god it was like half the cast!

i just wish stefano would return

[nsanders]

"i just wish stefano would return"

You and me both!

[michelle]

isn't he on another soap right now? like the bold and the beautiful?

[CLEAmber]

I stopped watching "Days" when Marlena was possessed and kept turning into that awful demon-monster. That was just a bit over the top. Obviously it's been years since I've watched it. I am curious, is Stefano still around? He was the BEST bad guy ever.

[michelle]

good ol' steffie has not appeared yet :p we're anxiously waiting.

[kleinang]

i am sure stefano caused this .. i mean hasn't he caused all problems in salem for the last 20 years or so :rolleyes:

[michelle]

that is correct!

[CLEAmber]

I dunno, when Stefano was gone for several years Victor certainly caused quite a few problems on his own. I need to stop having this discussion though. I am reminiscing too much and next thing you know I'm gonna be trying to watch the show again. I watched it since I was 4 and it took me FOREVER to ween myself off.

[Tree]

let's not forget there was a talent exchange between B&B and DOOL...and B&B still owes a one-shot to DOOL. gee, i wonder who in Joseph's name that might be,,,,

[Boom booms]

nicole's hair looks terrible today!

[TAllenKCC]

I haven't watched Days since Jan off'd Victor. My wife PVR's it and then fills me in once and a while. I'll admit that when I'm sick, I look forward to watching for any insult Lucas throws at Sammi. Damn you Sammi. I so enjoyed it when she couldn't talk after her accident.

[johnnyb]

Hey any general hospital fans out there? Hate to admit it but luv to watch.

[michelle]

quick question, why didn't DAYS win any emmys???????????? i heard they won a technical one but damn, that's it????? :huh:

[nsanders]

Maybe everyone has been so pissed off about this storyline that they didn't think Days deserved anything. And, Maybe, by the time this storyline wraps up (this time next year? ... God forbid), everyone will think it was a GREAT storyline (?), and Days will sweep the emmys next year.

Ya think?

[nsanders]

Hey, did anyone (else besides me) read the TV Guide Online interview with Ken Corday (link on Dustin's site)? I found it ... enlightening.

[nsanders]

Did you hear? ...

Kirsten Storms (Belle) is leaving Days. The rumor is that she will be recast. I have found that the personalities of characters often change after they have been recast. We can only hope that the "new" Belle won't be so "Poor Me" about everything.

[michelle]

oh well, i won't miss her. belle shouldn't have cut her hair. she looks like she's 12.

[nsanders]

It's funny. She has to look older for Days, and younger for Zenon. I guess it is all done with smoke and mirrors (and extensions).

[nsanders]

So, I guess Jennifer's the next one to "die."

[michelle]

makes sense but i heard it was bo?

[nsanders]

I believe that there are more people scheduled to "die." And, I have heard/read that one of them might be Bo. However, after today's episode (Celeste sees Jennifer in a casket) and what I read on a website (Jennifer and Patrick get in a plane crash on their way to the island), I think the next "death" will be Jennifer. There was also an additional storyline mentioned regarding Jennifer searching for Jack on the island.

[michelle]

very eenteresting. yes, i remember the plaque that marlena, abe & roman saw in front of jack & jen's "house". lol, we have to speak in quotation marks now. so silly.

[nsanders]

What do you think about the John/Kate and Roman/Marlena match up theories? Personally, I have never been a big John/Marlena fan, so I think it is pretty cool.

[michelle]

really? aghh. i am a j/m fan so the thought of him & kate kinda makes me puke...sorri. they're best friends and should stay that way. i liked kate & roman together. the way he calls her katie is just so warm & fuzzy. ok, now that was sappy...

[nsanders]

I did like Kate and Roman together, and I hope that they get back together (after this whole thing resolves itself). I mostly have issues with John ... you know, the faces (eyebrow) and overacting ;)

I don't know if I would ever be able to accept "Roman" with Marlena anyway. I'm sorry, but that is not Roman. That is Chris Kosachek!

[Boom booms]

Did you hear? ...

Kirsten Storms (Belle) is leaving Days.

Aw I liked her!! damn

[nsanders]

So, how great was it to see Victor this week?

Maggie is supposed to be on tomorrow, but since it will probably be pre-empted, we won't see her until Monday.

[CLEAmber]

Victor is back?? Great, NOW I'm gonna have to start watching it again. You people suck!

[kleinang]

Victor is back?? Great, NOW I'm gonna have to start watching it again. You people suck!
Better set your vcr :hee: I am sure we will be seeing lots more of Victor

[michelle]

i am not really watching too much anymore...kinda lost interest after the big twist, which i thought was really STUPID.

[nsanders]

I don't watch much myself. Most of the time I can only watch the last 30 minutes of it during my lunch break. But, I do keep up with it via Early Edition and Dustin's site. Maybe I will become more interested when Shawn gets out of the cage (gag).

I DEFINITELY will watch more when Jack is back! And, it should be interesting to see how Tony fits into this whole island thing, too (he is supposed to be back around the 21st).

[marctronixx]

GH fan....

[nsanders]

Woo Hoo!!!

Jack's back next week!

[michelle]

omg. is he really the one sending jennifer all those messages/clues? what about that person patrick talks to on the phone, saying he's going to kill jennifer?

[nsanders]

I don't know (although I am optimistic). I just checked Dustin's site, and it said that Jack will be back the week of June 21st!

[Boom booms]

how many months do u think shawn's gonna be caged up? it's driving me insane.

[michelle]

good god i know. that is such a pathetic storyline. it's rape i tell ya! but since the roles are reversed, uh, ya. ugh...

whatever. i like the phelle action anyway. and the bardenter scene on friday was fun :)

[Boom booms]

had to bring this thread back... i miss the old belle.. and i really wanna know if stefano's coming back

[mcurtiss1970]

archaeologist at work!

[michelle]

something about this new belle's face really bugs.

as for the storyline, it went straight to hell; the jungle/new salem plot is stupid. i am not really adamant about watching anymore with the way things are going. it's a big yawn.

oh and sorry curti :D i just saw the shovel out there and thought i'd peek in.

[nsanders]

I totally agree. They changed the schedule in my area, so I can't watch anymore. I should be thanking my lucky stars. I only keep up to date with Early Edition and Dustin's site. The whole teen storyline is so stupid (but Jan sure has some good one-liners). And, don't get me started on the Jungle. Did you hear that Colin is coming back? Also, the way I understand it, the actor who portrays Stephano still owes DOOL for the trade they did with the Bold and the Beautiful (i.e. the actress who portrays Kate on DOOL returned to the Bold and the Beautiful for a storyline in trade for the actor who portrays Stephano to return to DOOL for a storyline). However, the way I have heard it, it will probably just be "new" flashbacks.

Regardless, I am satisfied with just reading about it. That way I can skip over the stupid stuff. However, I am looking forward to Lucas and Sami's wedding (whenever and however that may turn out).

[worst_name_ever]

i don't watch soaps, but i do watch starting over. i am so addicted to that show!

[atmachine]

i used to watch days of our lives all the time b-4 i hadda job

[jivey]

I watch Days of Our Lives...sometimes anyway.

[Marlon_JB2]

I'm not a fan.

My mom is however, doesn't miss a day. My dad even watches them occasionally.

[tamiasmom]

I used to watch them with my mom, before I got a life and had to start working all day!!!

[YPG]

Days of Our Lives and Passions everyday thanks to My awesome (for the moment) job!

[NONAME]

OMG :scare: this thread is back, I am so sick and tired of my wife saying Bo, Billie, Hope, Sean, Mimi...oh shucks you know the line up :indiff: Btw, are those old farts, Victor, Stefano, and Vivian still in the picture :p? (I cant ask my wife, because she will think that i'm really interested to know) :lol:

[jivey]

I watch Days of Our Lives when I get a chance (sometimes on my tv in my office at work)

Noname...I read your post and burst out laughing...I know ALL the people you mentioned! Of coarse I can't stand Mimi now, that little lying *beep*!!! Oh yes Victor is still around and Stefano is dead (yeah right)..I don't know what happened to Vivian.

[YPG]

okay Days fans:
who do you think the mysterious gloved hand is that switched the sperm for Belle and Mimi and is leaving Sami all those letters?

[acunn1]

can't stand them...

[jivey]

okay Days fans:
who do you think the mysterious gloved hand is that switched the sperm for Belle and Mimi and is leaving Sami all those letters?

Good question sempregatto...let me know if you find out. I want Shawn and Belle to get back together. Of coarse I liked the old Belle better. *shrugs*
