Days of Our Lives - Mon., Dec. 24, 2018

[Just Samantha]

I was not a big fan of the Horton ornament party. The camera kept panning over the same ornaments on the tree.

They did a terrible job with it this year, even with the lighting. The ornaments had a glare on them in most shots. And like you said, they kept panning over the same ornaments and left out so many.

I never saw Belle, Shawn, Zack, Will or Thomas's ornaments.

Will's ornament is on the bottom (left) in this picture:

Here is Jennifer hanging Thomas' ornament:

Here's a picture of Zack's and Bo's

Here's a picture from the show's spoiler pics; you can see Melissa's ornament (beneath Sarah's red ornament):

I agree - they could have had Will there (isn’t this his first year back after being “dead?”) bring Ari and even have Thomas visit with his Grandma for a little while. It’s not like he was away.

isn’t this his [Will] first year back after being “dead?”

No, last year was. Here are Will, Sonny and Arianna hanging their ornaments last year:

Speaking of Christmas 2017, this was the best moment, when Ciara and Claire were fighting and Chad covered Arianna's eyes (in the bottom left corner):

This is really Will's first year back, in a way, since he had no memory last year.

Because Abigail is an adult over 18? That's why I never understood why she had to marry Stefan once she got divorced from Chad. None of this makes any sense and now Abby has been married 4 times in 3 years and she's probably not even 30 yet.

None of this makes any sense at all. It's an only-in-Salem situation because the place has its only plot-driven marriage and divorce laws. As for other characters:

Stefan Zero: Once again, this creep showed that he's a third-rate DiMera. Abigail couldn't have gotten away with walking out with a child on Stefano. Before she'd take two steps, she'd have been on her way to the DiMansion dungeon or to a secret island. And the Phoenix certainly wouldn't have sat around looking glum on Christmas Eve just because of some personal reverse. He'd have been happily imbibing from his stock of fine liquors and listening to his favorite Italian opera records.

Jenny: Turnabout certainly was fair play for this one. She was on the receiving (and losing) end in a confrontation with Abigail. Jen-Jen ought to do some penance for her remarkably bad judgment by spending a week or so in the Horton attic.

Julie: She ought to star in a University Hospital commercial: "Hi, I'm Julie Williams. I fell down the stairs and my despairing family was gathered by my bedside as I lay unconscious. Fortunately, thanks to the brilliance of the hospital staff, I awoke and was released the same day, in time to attend my family's Christmas Eve party. So if you have a possibly fatal disease, have been shot, or are in a coma. Don't delay, sign yourself into University Hospital. You'll be glad you did."

At least she'd have Uncle Tommy to keep her company.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I'm convinced he was just on vacation in Hawai'i during Abby's attic stay. LOL

I completely agree with this. If this were any other Dimera, Abby wouldn't have gotten out of the house and/or Charlotte would have been kidnapped already.

 

[Just Samantha]

Stefano's rolling in his grave. Heck, he kidnapped baby Sami and Eric who weren't even his kids.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I agree he's un-DiMera-like. Time for a new DNA test! Though at the end of the day, I'm not here for another kidnapping/held-against-her-will story, so I'm okay with it.

 

[ErasofDiMeras]

This was definitely a very patchy episode. The editing, in my opinion, was poorly executed in today's episode. Though Stefan getting dumped was the best part of the show.

 

[dtkssk]

Thanks so much for the summary!

Gabi and Chad: JUST NO. I can only hope that this was a set up for when Chad finds out the truth and really hopefully goes off on Gabi. I need a really big payoff here.

I'm with you 1000%!
