Days of Our Lives
Friday, February, 17, 2017

Happy Days are over, as the gloom, misery and despair takes over Salem once again. Thank goodness, we had the Steve/Kayla wedding! Julie hangs up the phone, is in shock, unable to talk, but finally blurts out that it was Scotty on the phone, Julie's son, David was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident. She wails about always telling him those things were dangerous. Doug holds her, Hope offers words of comfort, but Abe & Valerie are there as well, and she is in shock, takes off.

Doug & Rafe have called everyone they can think of, Doug is taking Julie home. She wants to rest. Abe goes in search of Valerie.

Valerie sits on a park bench (yep, that gorgeous February winter weather means no one needs a coat, etc. Marlena happens by, stops and sits with her, is told about David, remembers Valerie used to date him. They have a nice talk, and just as it seems Valerie is going to tell Marlena some secret, along comes Abe, Marlena leaves, Abe says he forgot that Valerie & David dated once. He is sorry, she really wants to be by herself for a while. Abe leaves.

Adrienne is walking past the alley, sees Paul sprawled out, rushes over, he is bleeding from a head injury, she will take him to hospital. No, he tells her of Sonny being grabbed, how he saw Sonny trying to fight the guys off, joined in, got knocked out, they took Sonny. She realizes it is this dang war, tries to call Justin, he doesn't answer, she remembers he is in court. Paul is insistent he is o.k., they have to help Sonny, & Adrienne insists they go confront Deimos.

Brady has come in the living room at the Kmansion, looking for Nicole, Deimos says she is with Justin. They argue a bit, Brady figures Deimos is too confident, and accuses him of bribing the judge. Deimos says he did what he had to do.

At the courthouse, Chloe has to turn Holly over to Child Protective Services woman, who will be holding her until after the hearing. Justin & Belle both get word that the proceedings have been moved to the judges' chambers. No one but the two women, two lawyers, judge & court steno can be there. Deimos WAS going to be in the court, no matter what, is not happy about being told no dice.

Rafe & Hope are somewhere, in a club, it is rather empty, but they want to relax and celebrate her return to Salem. Music plays, they dance, kiss.

At the hearing, it seems Judge Duncan is replacing Judge Pierce, who recused himself. Seems Belle's investigators found phone communication between Deimos & the judge, and when the judge realized the proof, he recused himself. Belle gives Justin copies of all the phone calls the judge had, incoming and outgoing.

And now Belle goes first. Acknowledges that Chloe was surrogate, with Nicole & Daniel's permission. Then Daniel died. Chloe tries 2nd time, successful. Then she proceeds to drag Nik thru the mud, the porn film, stealing another child to pass off as her own, stabbing a man, refusing to break it off with a dangerous man like Deimos Kiriakis. She recites a lot,, including the bacterial infection. Nicole is getting very upset, was upset about Deimos talking with Judge Pierce, did not know.

Judge says she accepts they did not know. More dragging Nicole thru the mud, Judge overrules Justin's objections, but he finally gets his chance, talks of Nik & Chloe being best friends, that despite Chloe's past as a prostitute, they were grateful she agreed to be the surrogate. He mentions how Nik saved Chloe's life, drove thru blizzard to get her to safety, delivered the baby, and got her to hospital, and yet despite all of that Chloe never once told her good friend Holly was her baby. Chloe protests, she had a stroke. Justin counters with her not telling when she was over it? Finally, the judge leaves to go over it all. Before she leaves, Nicole makes a tearful plea, trying to keep herself together, but not too successful.

Over at the Kmansion, Adrienne & Paul burst in, she rants at Deimos. He avoids, tries to blame others, tries to say no proof Sonny was kidnapped, but Adrienne will not be put off. Paul was there, he saw Sonny attacked. Brady joins the fray, telling Deimos to fix this. Words are flying back and forth, fast and furious. Adrienne wants to know where Chad & Gabi are, for Deimos to release them, she knows about the tech device, him wanting the key, how it is useless without it. He tries to deflect, even accusing her of wanting a big story, offering to buy the Spectator, give them a good price. Adrienne will not be put off, and neither will Brady. He warns Deimos to "fix" this.

The judge has returned, everyone waits expectantly. She had a lot to go over, to consider, but has reached a decision.
 
I did think the episode was well done, but it was indeed quite gloomy. I can't help but feel SO bad for Nicole right now--even if it is a dumb decision of hers to continue defending and being with Deimos--and loathing Chloe. I can't imagine how their friendship will ever recover from this.

I'm over Rafe, Hope, and Deimos. I hope at this point that Rafe and Hope just sail off into the sunset, never to be seen again, and that Deimos is shot by some DiMera/Hernandez thug. Enough is enough! I'd rather see more of Doug/Julie/Abe/Valerie.
 
So we get to wait for next week for the news about Holly that everyone guessed months ago when she was born? Fabulous.

Julie's loss would have much more impact if fans knew anything about him. Heck, killing off "Dancing Woman in Square" would have more meaning. We all remember her.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Dancing Lady!!!!

LOL!LOL!LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!

That girl needs her own series, or at the very least, to be an extra doing her signature dance in comedy series across all the networks.
 
If this trial over custody of Holly was real life and I was watching it knowing all facts I would never hire Justin based on his performance today. Belle brought up a long list of crimes Nicole committed and yet knowing all this, Chloe still went through with it. Now as far as Deimos is concerned, different story, but the fact he didn't refute this is odd.
 
I thought the same thing, too. Unless the scene was cut down and edited, Justin should've pointed out that Nicole was drugged as a teen and forced into doing the porn by her abusive father. And she killed him as he tried to strangle her. Actually, she was defending herself from his attack and he died in his hospital bed.
 
Here are some pictures of David and Scotty, to refresh memories (or to put a faces with the names for those who had never seen David and/or Scotty):

So true. Whenever anyone speaks about Nicole being a porn star no one ever brings up the fact that she was drugged, forced and abused by her father. Guess it's all a part of let's tear down Nicole and not provide any context to SOME of the things that happened in her past were of a result of the hand others played in her experiences.
 
Good question, Kerry. Everyone in town knows.....except him. Laughed when Deimos asked Adrienne how she knew about the tech device, and the key, and then remembered her being out there pretending she lost an earring, but evidently overheard them all.

Just love how he makes excuses for his evil deeds, tries to paint them as just necessary business. And how he thinks he owns the Orwell, which he stole from the DiMeras, and thus feels he was wronged because he doesn't have the key. LOL, he doesn't even know what the key is. Ha.
 
You know, I like Rafe, Hope is o.k., I cannot say I like them paired as a couple. I feel that Hope really did not get over what happened with Aiden, Rafe was just a lifeline, and then the hero in the white hat who came along at her low point, after she shot Stefano. He helped her out, as he promised Bo to keep an eye on her.

I don't hate them, individually or as a couple, but I sincerely hope they realize that they honestly don't have some great love, but a wonderful, very good friendship.

Bad enough she returned to Salem to appear at the wedding, take away some of the attention, but isn't David Banning her cousin? So, this relative dies, and she goes dancing. ?
 
David is Hope's nephew, as Julie and Hope are half-sisters. Although, David is older than Hope.

That got me, too. I like how Hope finds out her nephew was killed and yet goes to a club to dance with Rafe. I realize she and David weren't close, but still. Go spend time with your grieving sister. Make phone calls to other family members. See what help is needed with arrangements. Call your great-nephew to express your sympathies and ask what you can do to help.
 
But, but, but, if Hope took time out to check out on her family, like check where her daughter and granddaughter are living, then Rafe would have to go looking for information on his family.

These two are as bad as Sami and her 7 kids, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Dopey.
 
So dumb and Chloe being a hooker just gets glossed over.

I agree about Nicole and her father. I also believe that Chloe was taken advantage of and ended up hooking due to seriously bad circumstances. Kate went there as a single parent escaping an abusive husband, etc. Bad things happen to people. I try not to condemn without understanding the backstory.
