Days of Our Lives - Monday Aug. 13th, 2012

I will definetly watch this again in the morning. I loved the moment Brady sensed something, as well, and it gave me chills. Although I have not been an Ian fan, I was all over his performance today. Finally this stoic fellow that seemed void of emotion broke loose! And Kate standing there watching the whole thing. That picture was worth a thousand words! I had to freeze frame it for a few moments.
 
Love Kate hearing Ian speaking of his love for Madison...which I do not believe he had...he is like Stefano...he loves to possess the women he "loves"...Kate was used again...when will she learn....
 
Hell hath no fury....... Kate's gonna be pickin' pieces of Ian's rear-end out of her stilettos when she's done with him.

Guess that was between stealing her baby sister, dealing with bulemia, shooting her rapist, running away and becoming a teenage mommy.

And getting her GED that allowed her to run a multi-national company. :rotfl:

...I was not a fan of Matt's [Jack's] performance this time around. I think it came off really really overly dramatic.

That's the way I see everything he does.

Jack was suffering from PTSD and portrayed the way a traumatic event can affect a person months or years later.In my opinion, there was no overacting. It was very realistic. He had a bit of panic attack, overcame it. Abby was his focus.
 
Thanks

I had tears in my eyes watching Jack, and tomorrow I know I'll cry when he dies. I miss him already!:cry::cry:
 
I also thought that Jack was overacting, as that actor seems to do (in my humble opinion) a lot, but I have never experienced PTS so maybe that is normal? It just felt like one second he was freaking out and the next he was gung-ho to save Abby...just felt a little too quick of a transition?

I have to say, I really loved Nicole and Dan. I liked their chemistry onscreen before this show...but wow. I was actually FEELING for Nicole!!! Great, great actress as I normally find Nicole somewhat annoying and, in the past, like a poor man's Sami. But today, wow. Amazing job Arianne Zucker! Bravo!

And Dan, wow...for once I wasn't thinking about all of the women on DOOL that he's slept with, I was actually rooting for him to save Nicole and was impressed with how dedicated he was to finding her. These two were a very pleasant point of the show for me today, nearly as good as Sami/EJ...okay maybe not, but they were really, really good!
 
Watched the show again this morning since I missed most of it due to falling asleep (sick with strep throat).

Jack's reaction was how 2 of my friends still react due to their PTSD from experiences in Vietnam. They can now make it through most things like shooting at a firing range. However, when they hear an unexpected noise like a car backfiring, they dive for cover while shaking uncontrollably. When they are going through that, you have to talk to them in a soft calm voice. You definitely never touch them because they'll "take you down".
 
I loved the show. My favorite parts were Brady and Melanie, Nicole and Daniel. I hope Kate heard Madison say, "Brady, I love you" and that she tells Brady when he gets out of the tunnel. I did not like the scenes with Chad and Gabi. Chad is just too over the top. Why did he lift the beam off of Andrew, just to wrap his hands around his throat and then lets him get away. He should have left the beam on him.

I'd not been back in this forum for a while, so I hadn't read all the comments after the summary. Having seen a couple of co-workers go through severe panic attacks (neither one of them realized what it was at the time), I'd say the PTSD induced panic attack was quite realistically done. As for the quick transition to saving Abby, I don’t think that was odd either. Once Jennifer helped Jack out of the worst of the panic attack, his concern/focus was back to saving his daughter, who was, after all, in a life-or-death situation where time was of the essence.
