Days of Our Lives
Friday, June 2, 2017

Can't say I liked much of the what went on today in Salem. Jade & Claire are talking of Claire not getting any action or followers on the Internet. Jade reminds Claire she suggested a way to increase her following, Claire gets indignant, would never ever do a sex tape. Jade comments that she could say the Russians hacked it or something, but Claire doesn't like the idea of her followers even thinking she would ever even make one. Jade goes upstairs, Theo comes in, he has put together some $$$ and rented the same room at the Salem Inn for them. He wanted to make up for not telling her he had set up Ciara & Wyatt. He gives her the card to swipe the door lock, is going for an interview for summer job, will meet her there. Claire is all happy, will go pack some stuff, see him later. Theo leaves, Claire goes into another room, Jade comes down, having heard all, grabs the key, says Claire will thank her later. She goes to the room, sets up a hidden camera, tells herself how the video will go to her phone, and she will post it, then has a fantasy of Claire & Theo all giddy & happy at being sudden celebrities, rock stars. Claire is getting her own realty show, line of lingerie, thanks Jade and declares her now her best friend. Daydream ends, Jade smiles.....calls Tripp, sorry she has not been in contact, has been working on a project.

At the cop shop, Hope & Rafe are talking of the Halo case, of JJ & Lani returning "today", of there being more cases of folks affected by it, a hooker came into a bar, really out of it. Lucas has called, Gabi has not come for Arianna who is wondering where her mommy is. They get busy, learn the plane has not landed yet. They go to see Victor, does he know anything.

Victor, meanwhile, has called Deimos in, who is still denying everything to do with Brady, Nicole, Xander. Victor doesn't buy it, knows better, Deimos continues to deny, Victor tells him he knows better. They talk about the board ousting Deimos, Rafe & Hope arrive, the Titan plane has not arrived. Vic gets on the phone, yep, it has disappeared about an hour and half from Athens. Vic gets people working on it. Rafe gets on Deimos's case, Hope gets inbetween to call a halt, Deimos protests he was in cuffs when the plane left. He ends up sauntering out

On the island, Chad & Gabi are kissing, but break it off, talk of getting off the island, blah, blah.They need some food, (I missed a bit of this) evidently finds some peaches in a tree, manages to climb up to get some, but guess what? Yep, twists that same ankle again. Ooh, Chad has to carry her, puts her down, tears part of his shirt up to make a bandage of sorts. How nice, it feels better. She starts getting all uptight over being rescued, he tries to calm her down, along comes Eli. Nope, unable to fix the satellite phone, but notes the black box on the plane is constantly transmitting, so they will be found, once folks realize they are missing. Chad leaves to go find peaches.

Sonny is staring at his phone (which doesn't have a signal) as Paul comes along, talks of getting fish. Sonny is not hearing a thing, concentration elsewhere. He has this list of Titan stuff he wants to get done, yada, yada. Paul think Sonny is too wound up on Titan, and should concentrate on surviving here, so he will be able to do whatever, when they get back. He is going to cook the fish he caught (grampa taught him how), telling Sonny to try and find lemons. LOL. Sonny has a flashback of him & Paul "coming together" for the first time, smiles as he remembers. He takes off.

Paul gets busy with the fish, we hear a mosquito buzzing, Paul slaps his neck, comments that sucker meant business. Continues working, starts perspiring, takes off his shirt, gets worse. He hears Sonny calling his name, seems groggy as he calls out Sonny? Where are you? Sonny keeps calling "Paul, Paul". Then Paul gets up, evidently to looks for Sonny, as Sonny comes round the corner, a few lemons in hand, but Paul is gone.

Rafe is all upset, he cannot lose his sister, Arianna her mother. Hope gives him a pep talk, is sure all will be well, think positive, they will be found, believe.

Deimos is in the square, calls someone, wants production stepped up. He has more time now, so wants to concentrate on building up distribution of the Halo.

Eli sits with Gabi, talking of how he knows she still has these feelings for Chad. She doesn't deny, but claims they can never be together. Eli likes her, a lot, but knows she has these feelings still for Chad. Her turn for a flashback of being in the hospital, and telling Chad they have to say goodbeye, and he does. Eli though thinks she is unable really to move on, Chad is the only one for her. She admits it, yes, he is the one. She looks up, Chad stand there, peaches in hand. Eli gets up, is gonna go work on the phone. Chad just stares at Gabi, she at him, he drops the peaches, and is down on the ground with her, kissing passionately.
 
Thanks, I fast fowarded through a lot. The only person I feel for today is Paul, I hope he's okay!

I don't know why, but I hate the whole Chad and Gabi thing. Even if Abigail filed for divorce and he SAYS he didn't want to give up, just because you are stranded somewhere with someone that you are horny for doesn't make it a great love. And Eli is another one I have no use for!
 
Deimos (the Candy Man) should be on that island with the kids - all those peaches, and LEMONS!!

Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow)
Wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can
 
I about choked to death having Chad and Gabi shoved down my throat. And he's always been the one?. When she slept with Will? Married Nick? Dated JJ? If he was always the one, then she would have been pining for him the whole time he was with Abby and she wasn't!

I knew as soon as Paul got bit it would be a deadly bug. I thought Sonny yelling Paul was his imagination but then there's Sonny yelling Paul. I hope it wasn't Sonny yelling that whole time because that would be ridiculous. And they have only been missing one night? Guess it seems longer because it's been 2 weeks, hasn't it?
 
Thanks, Poirot.

I wonder if Sonny flew in the Bermuda Triangle because the island has lemons, peaches and goats.
And now Paul is acting strange after he got bit by a bug.

I'm glad Claire told Jade how disgusting a porn video would be. Did Jade put the camera there so
she and Claire would be friends? Not the best way to get one.

I'm glad Eli mentioned the black box. I wondered about that since plane crashed.

I laughed when Deimos called himself a comic book super villain.

Amen. Usually, I try not to be totally negative about an episode, but this one was the pits. The mystery island (cooperative fish, fresh peaches and lemons, deadly insects, and a skull) is beyond absurd as is the behavior of those residing there. This story line is making the silly Greenland crash of yesteryear look almost sane and sensible. If Tom Hanks watched the idiotic behavior of the plane crash survivors, he'd be glad that he was alone on his South Pacific island in the film Cast Away. Back in Salem, things weren't much better. Does the utterly brainless NuJade realize that she's committing a crime by putting a spycam in the Salem Inn room? The only positive thing that can come from this sick plot is a scene in which Nicole is freed from her cell and NuJade is deposited in it. Finally, it's now been revealed that Deimos, who was the head of a major corporation, was also Salem's latest drug kingpin. Really? That a corporate CEO, even Deimos, would do this is more than a little farfetched. Perhaps, the police had better keep a closer eye on Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett. You never know.
 
I actually didn't mind the episode that much. I am a fan of Gabi and Chad, though, so perhaps that's why. Since Abigail threw her family away, I see him as fair game. Chad did try fighting for her and she still pushed him away. In any case, Gabi has better chemistry with him than this new Abigail. What I did find ridiculous was the abundance of fruit on the island. While I can see lemons growing there in abundance, due to the island's presumed Mediterranean climate, it's strange that peaches, which seem to grow better in wetter areas, would be growing in the wild.

The teen crap has gotten even worse than I imagined it could. Not even gonna comment on this stupidity.
