Days of Our Lives
Friday, April 24, 2015

Replay of Kristen talking to Mandrake about Brady, then learning he talked to a nurse. Over to Melanie pushing aside the armoir, seeing the baby, realizing this is Brady's child. She has to get the baby out of there, gets a blanket, and there is Kristen, greeting her. Mel tries to pull her "I'm the nurse" routine, but Kristen knows better, saw pics of her all over her father's apt. and office. Kristen talks sweetly, but mentions how Italian cops don't like Americans trespassing, or kidnapping, either.
Brady is in the clearing, trying to call Melanie, Lee calls him, tells him of Mel stowing aboard the plane, and making him land her in Italy. Next he gets a call from Kristen, telling him to come back to the castle, Melanie is there. (they must have a shuttle bus to the top of that mountain, lol). Brady shows up, Kristen is all kinds of lying sweet talk. Brady now learns there is a baby, but Kristen is claiming Daniel is the father (already told Mel to meet her little brother), the result of that one night stand that Brady himself saw!
She tells him to leave, taking Mel, deciding not to call the police. He relates he will go, but does want to see the baby. She shows him the baby (Mandrake is there, as well) and purrs how he has Daniel's eyes, and her mouth. Brady is just staring, Kristen finally tells him, he had his look, now Bye. He wants this baby tested first before he leaves. She just smiles, he is firm. He wants this baby's DNA tested first. She says, o.k. reaches into the bassinet, pulls a gun on Brady! Melanie starts forward, Mandrake has pulled his gun on her.!!

Lucas is in the square with Will, having told him Victor fired him, Will wants to know why, Lucas will talk about it another time. Doesn't matter now. Asks Will about Sonny. He is going to see him now.They part company, Will goes into the club, finds out Sonny is outside talking with his grandfather. He goes to eavesdrop. Victor is talking to Sonny about Will, Paul, Sonny's marriage. Sonny tells him to butt out, Victor only wants Sonny to be happy, and wonders if he has thought about exactly what he wants. They go back & forth, Will is making all kinds of faces as he listens. Vic berates Will, talking of his genes, and what he inherited. He mentions Sami, and then Will's two grandmothers, all of whom probably cannot name their first husbands. He finally leaves.

Marlena calls John, leaves a message for him, wondering how things are going with him & Paul......and with John and her. Then she gets a call from Will, who thinks Victor is attempting to undermine him, and his marriage to Sonny. He is upset.
Marlena goes to see Victor,, sees Paul's address on his desk, manages to take a photo before Victor walks in. She wants to talk about Will to Victor, who doesn't hesitate to describe Will in an unflattering manner. She explains how much Will regrets what he did, is trying to work things out. Victor will have none of that at all, he loves Sonny and his happiness is important. Marlena tells him, (a couple of times) that neither of them should attempt to judge what happened, it is not their business, and they should let the young couple work things out for themselves with no interference. She leaves, glancing at the photo after she is out of the room.
She calls Will, tells him she talked to Victor, and knows where Paul & John are, is going there herself.

Now earlier, Adrienne is babysitting Ari, Justin calls, and she tells him about her affair with Lucas. They go back and forth about his affair with Elsa, hers with Lucas, he says some unkind things, but then says he will try to wind things up and come home, they will discuss this then. He asks about Sonny, then mentions again coming home after winding things up, but Adrienne has hung up, is crying.
Justin calls Sonny (I missed their conversation, a short one). Will comes in to talk to Sonny, who says he just talked to his dad, and is thinking of going to see him. Will is taken aback, "you are going to Hong Kong?" (What happened to Dubai??) Sonny says he won't be gone long, Will replies " Seems a long way for a short trip". Marlena calls Will after this, Will tells her about Sonny's trip, but thinks he is really going to see Paul. This is when she says she is going there herself. Will hangs up, mutters he will do whatever it takes to keep Paul away from Sonny.

Justin and Victor are on the phone, Victor saying Justin needed to know, he made sure he found out, and Justin telling Victor he just HAD to throw gasoline onto the fire, didn't he? Victor did what he had to do, telling Justin he has to concentrate on his son and that low rent neurotic he is married to. LOL

A distraught Adrienne answers a knock on the door, to find Lucas. He sees her tears, figures she talked to Justin. She nods, is hugging him, is in tears. Then she mention him losing his job, feels so bad for him. He tells her it was Kate who told Victor. Why? She wanted to control Mad World, and needed me out of the way to do it. Adrienne is appalled, how could she do that to her own son. Oh, she feels so bad for him. But Lucas doesn't care about the job, only cares about her. She is what is important. They are kissing.
 
It's amazing how much more enjoyable an episode is when Daniel, Jennifer, Eve, JJ, Paige, Serena, Jeannie T are not on. I can tolerate most everyone else--I do like Jennifer too but not when she is badgering Eve or JJ constantly.

Brady still has his brain--shocker! Did not see the comeback about Daniel being Christopher's father coming. Miss Melanie is WAY out of her league with Kristen. Where was she going to go with Christopher?

That single table outside Club TBD is ridiculous. Either put a few out or talk inside. And I thought it was weird that Victor was seated and Sonny was standing. He should have sat down too. Loved Victor's dialogue! Since he seems to know everything, I'm curious if he knows about Clyde killing EJ.

Marlena is still being used as filler.:angry: And where is John? Did we see him once this week?

Italy looks an awful lot like San Francisco. And Dubai/Hong Kong looks an awful lot like the Salem office. Since when did Justin go to Hong Kong? I thought he went to Dubai? And if it's the middle of the night, why was he fully dressed in an office? :rolleyes: I definitely do not think he had an affair with Elsa. At this point, I doubt Elsa is even a person or at least a female.

Nice to see Lucas not wearing a suit.
 
Justin called Victor an "interfering old goat" and Victor called Will a "low-rent neurotic". Those lines alone were worth the watch. :rotfl:

Melanie and her awkward facial expressions and slouching just completely ruin a scene. I don't know why Kristen tolerated her and Brady as long as she did. They have no proof that baby isn't Kristen's and as far as the law is concerned, Melanie and Brady are now trespassing because Kristen has asked both to leave. As outlandish as it is, I was hoping she'd shoot Melanie on the spot.

And how hilarious was it that Kristen said Daniel is Christopher's daddy. Her getting caught in bed with Daniel was good for something. :rotfl:

If Marlena goes to San Francisco and involuntarily convinces Paul to come back to Salem, what will Will say then. Will he accuse Marlena of doing it on purpose because she's just another person who believes he isn't good enough for Sonny. :rotfl:I actually want this to happen as a result of Marlena's travels just to see Will's response.

I'm over Lucas and Adrienne. Why are they always making out in other people's homes? Spend a few dollars and get a room.

It was nice being able to watch live today.
 
Am glad Sonny threw somethings back at Uncle Victor. Victor needs to mind his own business and remember his infidelities. The only way Sonny and Will can work things out if others stay out of it.


The only way Sonny and Will can work things out is if Will realizes Paul isn't keeping them from working things out. The man has left Salem just like Will wanted, but still all Will can think about or talk about is Paul. He thinks Sonny's lying to him about going to see his dad. Will's paranoia will be the bullet that kills his marriage, not Paul, Victor, or anyone else.
 
Justin called Victor an "interfering old goat" and Victor called Will a "low-rent neurotic". Those lines alone were worth the watch.
Victor deserves thanks for coming up for a new description for Will -- bratty, narcissistic, whining, blackmailing, sniveling, hack-writer, and Sami-like, were all on the verge of overuse. As for witchy Kristen, it was funny to hear somebody like her speak the words: "It's the truth" and "It's hard to believe, but it's true." Finally, Baby Christopher is fortunate that he's not the product of a tryst between the Witch and the Love Doctor. What could be worse that having Kristen's insincere eyes and Dr. McScruffy's lustful, wandering mouth? Of course because of who his real biological parents are, he's at risk for having no common sense, a strong interest in using controlled substances, and rarely showing up at work.
 
Pretty good episode today! MUCH better than last Friday that's for sure. I also liked the circles that Kristen danced around Melanie today. I laughed when she said "meet your brother" LOL! I'm sure neither Melanie nor Brady believe that and obviously Brady asked for a DNA test but you could almost see Brady faltering for a second thinking maybe Kristen and Daniel really did have sex.

So it looks like Marlena is going to end up in Rome thinking that's where Paul and John are since that's the address she got from Victor's. Should be interesting.

I was confused about Justin saying he was in Hong Kong as well. I thought he was heading back to Dubai when he left Salem a couple weeks ago. I still don't believe he had an affair but I wish they would actually start letting us in on this if that's the case. I'm sort of neutral on the Adrienne/Lucas thing but it was nice to see her emotional about what she told her husband. I'm sure there's a lot of conflicting emotions going on there.

Maybe Sonny will have a layover in San Francisco when he heads to Hong Kong to see his dad. Will is going to have a conniption fit.
 
I was hoping she'd shoot Melanie on the spot.

We'd never get that lucky.

I hope Brady doesn't lose the Salem Brain in Italy.

Poor baby Ari. Her mother is in prison for killing a psycho who wanted to separate her from her father. Her father cheated on her other father with her step-great-grandfather's long lost son. Her grandfather and her step-grandmother are having an affair. And Sami Brady is one of grandmothers. She's going to need a lot of therapy when she gets older. And she might get better as long as she isn't treated by her great-grandma Marlena.
 
I'm not surprised Kristen said Daniel was the daddy. I think I or someone
mentioned that after she got the embryo transplant.

Kristen said it was "miracle of miracles" :)

I enjoyed Victor's snarky remarks. It was funny when Victor mentioned
Will's DNA, then Sami, his father and two grandmothers. I'm glad
Sonny remembered Caroline and Victor.

Justin and Adrienne talked about rubbing their noses when the promo for
"Red Nose" popped up.

I wonder when Justin went to Hong Kong. Did Elsa go with him?
 
Hong Kong, Dubai, that's basically the same, right? These writers clearly didn't care by this point.

Will has gone full-on psycho.

Did Marlena get the right address? I thought Victor had had Paul's on the pad to give to Sonny.

I really, really hope at least one of those two dunderheads in the DiMera castle gets shot by Kristen. She'd be well within her rights to wait for the police to cart the intruders away. They have no standing to ask for a DNA test.
 
Thanks for the summary. Good show.
I laughed at Kristen saying it was Daniel's baby. Her spies should've informed her that Daniel made it clear to Nicole and Brady that they never slept together. I'm ready for this storyline to close out.

Victor and Justin were funny today, but right now, I don't care for either of them or their hypocrisy. I am glad about what Marlena told Victor, and excited to see her more. However, I'm really tired of Will. Paul is out of town, and he is STILL obsessing over him! My goodness!!

Lucas & Adrienne? :sick::sick::sick:
 
Did Marlena get the right address? I thought Victor had had Paul's on the pad to give to Sonny.

That was a bit confusing to me too. Victor had told Sonny the address was on the desk but then right before we saw Marlena come in he was on the phone with his men reading off the address in Italy.
 
Victor's ruse worked to send Marlena to Italy, while Sonny can visit Paul. Will won't have Marlena to help him. Will also believes Marlena is heading out to see John and Paul.

That was a bit confusing to me too. Victor had told Sonny the address was on the desk but then right before we saw Marlena come in he was on the phone with his men reading off the address in Italy.

It's confusing at first. But rewatching it, Victor's plan was to not have Will and Marlena interfere. And that scene you describe was between Victor and Brady, in a different episode when Brady approached him where Kristen was.
