Days of Our Lives
Tuesday, April 14, 2015

Gloom, misery, despair today. John meets with Sonny at the Pub. Did not want to go to the apt. with Will there, as he wanted to talk to Sonny alone. Sonny says he slept in his office and was not at home. John figures Sonny knows Paul the best, and wants Sonny to tell him about Paul. Sonny says that when he asked Paul to marry him and Paul said no, he left, moved on. But when Paul showed up in Salem, he realized he still cares about him a lot.

Marlena arrives at Will's apt., learns Sonny did not come home last night, and has a very serious talk with Will. She asks why he told Will all that untrue stuff about Paul to John. Will, of course, tries to say he did not do that, but marlena will have none of that. Will is trying to whitewash his statements, she tells him that he is turning into his mother. Will doesn't understand, but Marlena says Sami would create situations and shove the blame on others, all the time. She tells Will that she loves him, but he needs to concentrate now on saving his marriage.

Xander & Serena have met at the bench in the park off the square. She wants to know why he is staying in town, he says he has family here. She asks what family, and though he flashes back to encountering Brady, he doesn't tell Serena. She thinks it is because of Nicole Walker, then tells of her being a journalist, but really just digging into people's pasts, warning him he could be next.

Melanie & Brady wake up in bed, he is getting a text from his dad, who wants to see him to explain something. It is important. Small talk about Brady, his dad, etc. He thinks he is not cut out to be a father himself, but if he is, he hopes he does a good job. They both get dressed, he leaves, she calls Greg as she wants the test results. Evidently he sent them, because later they arrive via messenger, or ??, as she has to sign for the "Express" envelope.

Daniel & Maggie sit in the square chatting, Daniel spots Nicole, invites her over. Theresa arrives with Eric, who left his wallet in the car, leaves, will be back.Theresa spots the trio, saunters over, calling them the gleesome threesome. She immediately starts her digs, talking of Nicole's hot date, how she has moved on, blah, blah. Nicole states it was only a cup of coffee. Daniel (who is in scrubs) takes Theresa aside to talk privately, asking why she has to do this, she started it last night, and now again? Eric has returned, overhears some of the conversation, then comes out from behind a fake bush, and takes Theresa away for coffee somewhere else.LOL
They are at the Pub, he is asking her what was going on, she plays "poor me", just conversation, asking Nicole about her really hot date (describing the guy). Eric is not too happy about her remarks, but Theresa says she doesn't care what people think of her, or how she talks. He says "fine", gets up and leaves. Along comes Brady who has seen this, he sits down, and asks her why she is so hateful to everyone? That ever since she came to town she has been like that to everyone, even those who care about her. She claims no one care about her, name one. He names himself. That despite the drugs & drinking he cared, but while he has straightened up, following a better path now, she just is hateful, insulting to everyone, rather disgusting. She claims she doesn't care what he says, she only was with him for his money and body.....in that order. Brady leaves. Theresa gets up, goes to sit on a bench and begins to cry.

John runs into Marlena in the square, he is rather rude to her. She is trying to explain about how Will saw the pic of Tori by the lake, and assumed Stefano was the father of Paul. She told Will then it was Tori's decision to tell that, if true. John replies that evidently she thought the same way when she figured out that John himself was the father. Yes. He turns to leave, then turns back, plans to tell Belle & Brady himself, so please grant him the courtesy of keeping silent about this until he does. Off he goes.

Nicole comes to Daniel's office, he has to see a post-op patient. She pleads with him, says again it was just one cup of coffee, nothing else, she was mad, is tired of being mad, wants them to start anew. He still has to go see the patient, but stay here, he will be back. She sits in his chair, asking herself what she will say when he returns, then has a big daydream about confessing her moronic mistakes to him, listing a few, and Daniel forgiving her, when a voice calls her name. She snaps out of her reverie, it is Xander. She is having a fit, what is he doing there? In walks Daniel, Xander greets him, hello Daniel, long time. Cue Nicole looking puzzled.

Melanie opens the door to Serena, who is all set for their girl's fun day, she brought the video. Melanie's face falls, she forgot, but has to cancel. Now Maggie shows up, learns Daniel is not there, is about to leave, but Melanie wants her to stay. Sorry, Serena, will call you. Melanie sits with maggie, basically not saying much, except she loves Brady, and doesn't want to screw it all up.

Serena shows up at Eric's apt., blathering away about missing him, wanting her project to be over, is tired of it all, wants Eric to help her forget everything for a while. Kiss, kiss.

Sonny comes home, did not expect Will to be there, but guess the sitter could not come. Will wants to talk, Sonny doesn't. When Will asks why he did not come home, Sonny says he was alone, stayed in his office. Will says it probably wasn't comfortable. Sonny says he did not come home because he wanted to yell, to smash every single thing in that apartment, that is how angry he is, how mad he is. He is talking quietly, but is obviously still mad. Will insists they have to talk, NOT NOW replies Sonny. Well, when, persists Will. Sonny turns, NOT NOW, and goes into his room.

John shows up at Paul's room, about to knock. The cleaning lady asks if he is looking for Mr. Narita, is he in? She replies that both Mr. Narita and his mother checked out first thing this morning.

Melanie opens the envelope, takes out a sheet of paper, tells herself that Theresa WAS pregnant, wonders what Mandrake & Clint have to do with this. She answers the door to find Brady there. She says she has something to tell him about him and Theresa.

And all throughout the show there are various shots of a baby in a crib, of Mandrake coming to report that he will be getting results from his office soon, he will continue to make sure Kristen is the mother, & the baby happy & healthy, of a hand patting the baby blanket. And finally, at the very end, the baby is picked up, and is lovingly cradled by Kristen DiMera.
 
I just want to say Daniel Jonas can die any time now! For weeks, he's told Nicole it was over between them so why is she falling all over herself apologizing to him because she dared have coffee with another man. And Maggie acting like Nicole has committed the ultimate sin against her son. :angry: How long is this going to go on? The on again/off again with Daniel pretty much ruined Jennifer's character. Now they're doing the same thing to Nicole. Why can't women escape this man?

Edited to add: Nicole looks fabulous in white.

Also, John and Marlena didn't give the impression that things were that bad between them at the end of yesterday's episode. John looked hurt & confused and Marlena told him she loved him before walking away. Them not being on speaking terms now is just awful continuity.
 
I was tied up with clients this afternoon and couldn't focus on the show. How did Melanie tie Kristen into the baby situation? I saw her looking at the test results and seeing that Theresa was indeed pregnant. Then I saw Serena showing up for a "girls' day" with movies and snacks and Melanie telling her she couldn't hang out. The next thing I know, Melanie was telling Brady she had to tell him something about Theresa and Kristen.

And why was Theresa crying in the park? I saw her ranting at Brady about how no one cares for her and he said it wasn't true, that he did. The next time I was able to pay attention, Theresa was on a park bench, crying.
 
So, now that he's no better than his mother, Will is proud of the horrible things she did in the name of getting what she wanted? Marlena telling Will that Sami didn't care who she hurt as long as she got what she wanted is EXACTLY what Sonny asked Will about himself yesterday - "Do you honestly think you can do whatever you want & hurt whoever you want in the process". Now that is great continuity!
 
Only good thing I have to say about Daniel Jonas is he has his hair appropriate for his age finally, he looks younger with dyed natural darker toned hair instead of those reddish brassy gross highlights that blend in with his complexion.

Today was what I call a "amuse bouche" just a taste......we got reaction and some tastes of what will come of the whole enchilada later on in the next 2 weeks. So not much to really say at the moment.
 
Jeannie T. loves Brady and she gets the bad rap for lashing out to cover up her feelings. Bad habit I know, but some people do that. She was deeply hurt. I think she knows something is wrong (the baby) but her mind is so scrambled, she is confused, but not remembering what happened to her and her drinking to cope doesn't help.

I'm not sure how Melanie connects the dots to Kristen either. The recaps I was following mentioned her questioning what Mandrake, being a fertility doctor, would've done with the embryos. She's interrupted by Serena, then talking to Maggie. Brady told Theresa that she gets off on hurting people and now he only feels disgust for her. She told him she only wanted him for sex and money and told him to get lost and go find Melanie.

Edited to add: I feel no sympathy for Theresa whatsoever and my dislike for the character is at an all time high. I don't care if the baby is never returned to her. This awful human being has made it her mission to hurt people for no reason since she showed up in town. She almost killed John and has yet to shown one ounce of remorse and now, through this baby, she's tied to him for the rest of her miserable existence.
 
Gloom, misery, despair today.
Most definitely:1) Son of Sami once again blaming everything on Paul Narita, and remarkably approving of his mother's self-centered life style, before getting a dose of deserved scorn form Sonny; 2) Jeannie T. dishing out snark and bile before parking herself on a park bench to weep bitter tears; John dumping on Marlena for keeping mum about his surprise son; and 4) poor Nicole catching more misery from the almighty Super Jonas. And to add some boredom into the misery mix, there was Bluebird and Xander and their endless sparring over the diamonds. No wonder Paul and Tori checked out of the Salem Inn. Salem is currently no place for anyone who wants to keep their mental equilibrium.
 
I am really hoping that with this baby storyline with Brady and Theresa that they are not setting up a possible infant abuse storyline. That would be really horrible and would do a lot of irreparable damage to Theresa and possibly Brady's characters if they go that route.
 
Theresa was not only told off by Brady, but got some of the same from both Daniel & Eric over her constant snark at everyone, no one gets left out. So....now she is having a pity party.

Maybe Kristen has the same blood type as Theresa, that rare one. But Melanie knows Clint took blood from Theresa, and from Brady. She knows Brady was very involved with Kristen after being involved with Theresa. And She knows Theresa was dating Clint, who was in contact with a Dr. Mandrake, who is a fertility specialist, who vanished, and is probably only servicing private clients now.

People are trying to give Will a wake up call, and his eyes are still half closed.
Shame on John for how he treated Marlena, who has forgiven him soooo much more. Maybe when he has time to think, he will remember what HE HIMSELF has pulled on her and how much she has forgiven.

I really like that Sonny told Will he did not come home last night because he did not want to see Will, and that he only came now, because he thought he would not be there, since he had an appt.
 
Re: Theresa. Obviously, she is a very unhappy person. We still don't know what happened to make her turn to drugs, etc. So, she gets her jollies by making everyone else unhappy. We have never been given a reason for the rebellion.

Melanie must feel her time with Brady is about over. Nicole is a strong person, why make her look so needy? I hope Gabi is about due to get out of prison. That poor baby doesn't need to around Will.
 
Theresa seems to be in the same orbit as Nicole .. the person everyone gets to rag on and tell them that they are no good and always belittled.

No wonder the poor girl is always sad and lashing out. If all a person gets from others is verbal abuse, that is what they tend to do also, mostly in self defense.

Theresa's hormones and the residual effects of the drugs Dr. Mandrake gave her are really messing with her. Unlike others I am feeling bad for her.

I am hoping her Aunt Kayla can help with it all once the truth comes out. Hopefully some these people will at least say sorry.
 
Ok I just watched. Nicole looked better in that white ensemble than the pictures portrayed. She was practically glowing!

Daniel saying "Answer my question" to Nicole about whether or not Xander thought it was "just a cup of coffee". None of your business you jerk! Ooh, I want to kick him in the teeth!

Will called Paul a "washed up baseball player". Donors are willing to pay $50,000 just to have lunch with that washed up baseball player. And if we're talking about professional careers ending, how did that Hollywood screenwriting gig work out for Will. :rotfl:Maybe somebody needs to remind the hotshot that he's the last one to be taking cheap shots about careers ending.
 
I can't believe the uproar over Nicole having coffee with Xander!!! Good grief! Maybe I live in a different world (not the midwest) but in my circles having a cup of coffee with someone is definitely NOT a big deal. It means nothing.


:sarcasm: Well, it's like this: in Salem, hopping into bed with someone and "sheet flapping" is what in the normal world would be the equivalent to having coffee. This is why Salem is so upset.
Glad I could be here to explain this to you. :wink:
