Days of Our Lives
Friday, February, 2, 2018

Replay of the end of tributes to Andre, Chad putting the pocket watch on the casket, Vivian noting they have company. In walks “Marlena” wearing a horrible hat, looks like a witch's hat to me. They all try to say private family service, but she is insisting on being there, wants to make sure he is dead, won't leave til that casket is in the ground. Stefan & Chad both try to escort her out, she is adamant, then mentions the pocket watch “he” gave her, seduced her, etc. Kate realizes that is not Marlena, it is Hattie Adams.

Replay of Carrie telling Rafe she knows he slept with Sami, who told her practically as soon as she got to Switzerland. Both think Sami, tho promising not to tell anyone, still held a grudge against Carrie for when Rafe & Carrie had their little flirtation. Carrie isn't going to squeal to Hope, people make mistakes, Rafe let her know he & Hope were broken up at the time, but that Ciara heard him & Sami talking. Carrie advises him to tell Hope, better him than an angry Ciara spilling the beans.

Roman is with Anna who wants to know who it is that he figured wrote the letter to her. He explains about John, the watermark that indicates the letter was written from Statesville prison, and actually, the warden's office.

Paul is trying to talk to John, tell him about Will going to the police with the suspicion of John making Steve sick, he babbles a bit, then Marlena arrives, end of it. Paul makes excuses, leaves.

Meanwhile, Will is talking to Hope, this is about John, he is the danger, and then he sees her engagement ring.

And then, NBC breaks in for 10-15 minutes with one of their breaking news reports.....that the other networks save for regular news broadcasts (yes, I checked) so I missed some rather interesting moments.......as later, Chad & Stefan have hauled Hattie down to the cop shop, while Vivian is bemoaning ...”why do caskets have to topple over and dead bodies fall on me? I can still feel his cold dead hand on my face. I was assaulted by a corpse”. LOL. Everything looks normal now, Viv wants to say something, Abby tells her either say nice or not at all. This makes Viv think a bit, then say that Andre was a wonderful........liar. Vile man. She leaves. Kate & Abby are left, Kate talks a bit about marrying him for business, but it became real, for such a short time. Both gals think no one realized Andre did have a good side, maybe not Andre himself. Kate lays a rose on the casket.....goodbye my husband, leaves. Abby lays a rose, just says Bye, thank you. She leaves.

At the cop shop whatever went on, Chad is leaving. Hope is there, Rafe, who takes Stefan for some questions. He notes that the security footage stops for an hour, why was that. Stefan claims to be putting in a new system, that they were testing it, and when done testing, the old system resumed. The fact that Andre was killed in that period is a coincidence. But feel free to check and investigate whatever you want. DiMera is an open book. Rafe intends to do just that.

Will & Paul meet in the square, tell each other what happened (with John, and with Hope). Both were interrupted, but Will convinces Paul they have to watch John, for actual proof, before something serious happens to Steve. Paul is wary, but agrees. Will notes that he saw Hope's engagement ring, which is just like his mother's.

Hope talks to Hattie, who managed to sneak out of the prison, and wants to sneak back in, rather than be taken by the cops. Roman & Anna come in, and there is a verbal free for all, with Hattie accusing Anna of killing Andre. Claiming she and Roman have a “connection” which he denies, saying she has an obsession. Anna runs off at the mouth right back at Hattie, even accusing her of killing Andre, Hattie denies it, and it is not long before the two are wanting to get physical, shouting, blathering, as Hope holds back Hattie, and Carrie hold back her mother.
 
I can't decide if I want this ring nonsense to blow up Rafe and Hope, or for the writers to be original and have Hope not care. Because I guess I don't care either way. LOL

I'm over Abby completely now. I'm practically ready to support Chad and Gabi just to get rid of her.

It looked like a stuntman during the corpse-dropping scene.
 
Well you must not have been bored with the show today because it reads funny at times. Tomorrow I can watch all this week's episodes and catch up finally. As always, thanks Poirot.
 
I’m wondering if something might be physically wrong with Drake Hogestyn (John) in real life. He is slightly hunched over and seems to have difficult standing up straight.
 
The episode was ok. I think the highlight was really seeing Marlena/John/Paul/Will together, once again. I feel that the Hattie return was uninteresting and unnecessary. I'm also as tired of Abigail weeping for Andre as I was with Sami's "he's the changed father of two of my children" about EJ.

I liked Carrie's conversation with Rafe about Hope. I agree with her, he needs to tell the truth about the sex with Sami. The longer he waits, the less likely Hope is to forgive him. Which, of course, I'm OK with, since they're a terrible pairing.
 
Carrie: She did back off later, but where did she get off getting on Rafe's case about his Sami tryst? When Carrie was doing her lost-cat lawyer thing, she seemed all set to cheat on the hapless Austin with Rafe.

Sami: So she confides with her despised sister? Who knew? Perhaps, it was really a game of one-upsmanship in which Sami gloated about her night with the handsome, manly Rafe knowing that Carrie is stuck with Austin.

Hope: The globe in her office is upside down. Is this some kind of subtle commentary on the topsy-turvy world of Salem society?

Hattie: What's with state prison? Marlena's "creepy clone" seems to slip in and out of there more easily than a high-school student can cut class at Salem High.

Marlena: She's lucky that Hattie didn't kill Andre and get caught on Stefan Zero's on-again-off-again security camera. Knowing the Salem P.D., she'd have ended up being charged with Andre's murder.

Stefan O.: Today, he said that the DiMeras are an open book. If true, that would be the switch of the century.

Paul: He told Will that his dad, John, is a "good man." It's a good thing that Sami wasn't eavesdropping. If she'd have heard this comment, she might have have had a stroke.

Okay, Carrie you really need to slow your roll there girlfriend. :angry: First off,. Ross and Rachel were "on a break" and he did not cheat on her. So I just don't think it's fair that, what's that you say? This is Days of Our Lives and not an episode of Friends ? Oh, well, then is my face red.

Seriously I just don't care about Hope and Rafe as a couple. I don't hate them, I just don't care. I feel like the show has spent the couple of years telling us how great they are together but I haven't seen them show us anything that backs up that assertion. If they get married, great. If the secret of Rafe's one night stand with Sami breaks them up, great. I just don't care.

Here's the thing about Abigail's continued hero worship of Andre that gets me, I distinctly remember Andre telling her to her face that the reason why he helped her fake her death was so that he could later bring her back to Chad to get in his good graces. Then he could get a toehold at DiMera Enterprises. She knows that his "help" was totally self-serving. So all her boo-hooing and going on about how she "knew the real Andre" and how Andre "had a good heart" just makes her look stupid.

Kate going on about her "love" for Andre that lasted all of five minutes is equally absurd.

There were some highlights in this episode however. I did enjoy Hattie paying her disrespects and Vivian's eulogy.
 
We are getting hints about what John is doing. Today, he assured Marlena that he would never let Hattie Adams or anyone else ever hurt her. She asks about Steve, John hasn't heard anything, And when she walked away to answer her phone, he said aloud to himself that he is sorry, Doc, but "it is my job" to make sure no one knows what is happening to Steve.
 
Thanks, Poirot.

I enjoyed Hattie and Anna. I wonder what Roman was thinking when Hattie
said
she was jealous of Anna? I laughed when Anna called Hattie a creepy clone.


I hope we find out how Hattie knew Anna was in town and with Mr Roman.

How long will it take Will to figure out the ring on Hope's hand is the same
one his mom wore?

Not much of cliffhanger at the end of today's show after the ones we had yesterday.
 
Can I just say, Hope's ring is, well I will just say I think I have seen it before also!?!?! You know those quarter machines, put a quarter in get a ring, as you leave the grocery store.
That's the thing, there's nothing unique about that ring. Unless it's a colored stone or unusual (like the ring Steve gave to Kayla, made from a bullet), all soap opera engagement rings look alike. They're all just big diamonds. So Will recognizing it as the one from Sami's room is ridiculous. Had it been a big colored stone or maybe something antique looking, it would've made more sense.
 
Just wonder how these things get lost so easily. (i.e. doesn't Lani have pierced ears? So her earring falls off, she doesn't notice, even when she gets home and takes off the OTHER one? )

And so evidently Rafe had Hope's ring in his jacket pocket. Why? How come it wasn't at home? How come he never missed it? Yes, it was a funny scene as Sami tried to return it to him, finally succeeding. That must have been why. LOLOL

Interesting that a guy would recognize any kind of small jewelry. :)
 
There's an episode of Friends where Chandler and Monica are going out to celebrate their anniversary. He asks her to wear the earrings he bought for her. She secretly panics, because she loaned them to Phoebe. Phoebe, in turn, had loaned them to Rachel, who lost one. They spend the episode searching for the lost earring in the apartment (without Monica knowing). They finally come clean about the lost earring, so Monica wears another pair.

As they're leaving, Chandler looks at the earrings and tells her how great they look. She smiles and agrees. Then, he passes Ross and quietly thanks him for picking out the earrings. Turns out, he didn't even remember what they looked like.

 
For those who don't see the show.....Deidre Hall (Marlena/Hattie) posted this on Facebook..... ************************************************************************

Loving Hattie!! Before you ask, I brought the hat from home. Loving having Christie Clark (Carrie) and Leanne Hunley (Anna). Days of our Lives

 
Disappointing "cliffhanger" after what we got a week ago

I kind of liked how the Carrie/Rafe stuff played out. It made sense that Sami would rub it in rather than her simply confiding in Carrie. I do wonder if Sami may be pregnant and Carrie knows about it and that's what caused Sami to tell Carrie. It also made sense that Carrie would keep Rafe's secret considering how many times she has cheated on Austin.

I missed most of the mausoleum stuff due to the news break. Not sure I want to go back and watch.

I don't care for Hattie but the scenes with her and Anna were funny.
