Days of Our Lives
Tuesday, November 11, 2014

Abby talks to Kayla about Ben figuring Chad got her job back because he wanted to get her back. She sees Kayla thinks the same, reminding her that Chad seems to like pushing Ben's buttons, Ben is trying to support himself, while Chad has no worries about that. Now they both go to see Paul, who has made a large donation to the PT dept. anonymously. Abby thanks him for that, talks a bit of how Dr. Jonas is the best, learns Paul injured himself playing baseball, but she has no clue about him. She thanks him again, leaves.
Rafe spots Jordan & Chad kissing, says nothing, tho Chad spots him. Rafe just goes behind the gate, as Chad and Jordan says a few words, her admitting she is the one who kissed him, and she leaves. Rafe comes out, Chad begins his usual understating sticking of pins. Rafe says something about DiMeras, so Chad is right back with his one sister in jail for murder, his other was in jail for drug pushing, so what does that say about the Hernandez name. Rafe smiles, says he knows how Chad likes to push Ben's buttons, and he isn't falling for any of this. Just don't hurt Jordan.

Brady starts laughing at Theresa's announcement of her pregnancy, doesn't believe her, reminds her of all the lies she has told. Then really gets into how Theresa grabbed onto him, kept him drunk, high on drugs, had sex, etc. Really hurtful. Theresa says people call her a *bleep*, but he is one who has slept with Kristen, Madison, Chloe, Rafe's sister, and others, so don't get on your high horse with me. He wants a test, at the hospital, she agrees, calls Kayla to do it right now.
At the hospital, Kayla takes Theresa off for the blood test, Brady waits, Rafe shows up, sees Brady not in a good mood. Brady only says he has done dumb things, made bad choices, but this last one is something else. Theresa overhears, and when Rafe leaves, comes and joins Brady.
Ben runs into Sonny, tells him about chad getting Abby's job back for her, and he thinks in order to get her back. Sonny doesn't think so, Abby got a raw deal, Chad was really ticked at EJ when he first returned, so was just trying to help out. He has something he wants to show Ben, they take off. Seems Sonny had a friend with this apartment, who just moved out of town, it is furnished, the landlord says if Sonny vouches for Ben, it is all he needs, he can move in today. Ben is delighted. Later, he is unpacking things, wishing Abby was there, and knock, knock. There she is, bringing a housewarming gift.

Earlier, Jordan & Abby meet up at the hospital, talk a bit about Paul, Jordan promising to try and find out why he wants that donation to be anonymous. Jordan goes to see Paul, recognizes him because she is a huge baseball fan, she babbles about him blowing away her Sox team, wishes him well wherever he goes after his recovery, and assures him she is a tough drill sergeant with the therapy.

Hope meets up with Aiden, they are just going to have coffee, when Nicole comes up, wanting to convince Aiden to let her do a piece on "a professional moving to Salem". Seems Miles has noticed there have been a lot lately. Aiden refuses, she entreats, mentioning the death of his wife, he is emphatic, will not do the piece. She retreats, but Hope's time is now gone, she has to leave, but promises they will get together later. She leaves, Nicole returns, just to talk. She has been around, made a lot of mistakes in her time. Starting with her screen name. Aiden is puzzled, she says Misty Circle, and she made porn movies. Who hasn't seen a porn movie? She then goes on about having a miscarriage and stealing Sami's baby in it's place, another miscarriage where she accused Jennifer Deveraux of pushing her down the stairs causing her to lose it, only her baby was already dead. And of course, how she shredded evidence that would have helped and cleared Eric Brady. So, she knows full well that secrets have a way of coming out eventually, and when they do, it will be at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way. Something to think about. She leaves, Aiden ponders.

Meanwhile, Hope is at her laptop, evidently trying to decide if she should do a search on Aiden. Rafe comes in, startling her. They talk for a while, he heard about the divorce, sorry it got to that point, apologizes as none of his business, tho knows it has had to be hard on her and Ciara. He mentions hearing she was seeing Aiden. She nods, talks about how much of a jerk she thought he was initially, but that he really isn't. But is very private, and how she debated looking up info on him at first, then changed her mind. Rafe nods, he nearly did the same with Jordan, as he knew there was something that was in the past that still bothered her, but he decided not to. He gets up, leaves.

Hope sits at the laptop, then types in Aiden Jennings in the space on Ewe search. She sits and watches, nearly cancels, but doesn't. Then has a look of consternation on her face as the info appears.
We see it is a newpaper article, with Aiden's picture, and the headline "Aiden Jennings questioned in death of wife"..
 
Okay, so I guess we are supposed to be shocked about the newspaper headline, but this is Salem, WHO hasn't been questioned in the "death" of someone???? (besides the wee folk) And would it kill the writers to come up with something for Rafe to do OTHER than see his former bed mates kissing others??

Thanks for the heads up. I'll catch it tonight when I get home.
 
So Ben gets an apartment. Meanwhile characters like Hope, Aiden, Marlena, John, Rafe, Nicole, etc are essentially homeless. I suppose they'll be dragging out the Bo/Hope house set for Clyde's new digs. :beat:

This show just really has no clue what to do with Rafe and Nicole do they? Even Eric too. It's like Sami and EJ go bye-bye and they're putting their eggs all in the Eve/JJ/Paige/Daniel/Theresa/Brady/Jordan/Chad/Abigail/Ben basket. :drunk:
 
It's weird how stupid these writers are! They have no common sense! They don't know what to do with Rafe...they don't know what to do with Nicole. Why not PUT THEM TOGETHER!?!?!?!?!?!? They have no problem putting together random people like Eve & JJ, yet they don't have enough common sense to do what many fans have wanted for years by putting these two friends together? How stupid can they be?
 
Nicole looked absolutely beautiful throughout all her scenes, until the last one, when she left Aiden sitting alone, went out the door, and you saw her dress barely covered her butt.

Laughed at one point when Brady got ticked at Theresa for not using birth control or something. She was reminding him of two different times they had sex, despite the fact they were supposed to be broken up......and then tells him if he really wanted to be sure he did not get her pregnant, then he should have been prepared himself. LOL

Exactly. Apparently in the writers' minds, younger characters and actors are more important (regardless of whether or not they can carry the show, which they can't) and attract more viewers. Even though the ratings say otherwise. It would be amazing if Nicole and Rafe got together, or just had a bigger presence on the show in general, but nope. Both characters have history that can be worked with but the writers refuse to delve into that or create something new. What a waste..
 
I'm excited to hear that Nicole is doing her job!!! I thought they forgot she was a reporter. I'm looking forward to her scenes, and am glad they seem to be using her for something other than a woman being jealous of her relationship with a man at the moment.

Glad Rafe and Hope are still friends, though I wouldn't mind seeing his and Nicole's friendship more too.
 
Paul gave big bucks anonymously, but it sounds like everyone knows about it....

My thoughts exactly. Even though Jordan is Paul's therapist, did Abigail have the right to talk about the donation ? After she had just assured her discretion to Paul. :rolleyes: Way to go, Abigail ! Great way to get back to your job ! :sarcasm: Like mother, like daughter, I guess. Neither Jennifer nor Abigail seem to be competent in their work.

I absolutely adore the character of Nicole. I just wish, like others, she would be used more and in a much better way. And, I must say again how tired I am of having Nicole being referred to as a porn star. How come today, Nicole didn't say something to the effect that her father drugged and abused her, pushing her into pornography. What a waste of a great storyline : To see Nicole struggling with this horrible image/reputation that follows her around. :beat:But I must say I did enjoy Nicole giving advice to Aiden. And, if Hope were to admit that she was wrong about Nicole, many, many times (Hope having called Nicole a porn star more than anyone else on the show), what a great friendship these two women could have. Nicole being the investigative reporter, Hope being a cop. And throw Rafe in that mix, instead of having him be filler, like Nicole, wow ! But I guess on this farce of a show, this could never happen. :beat:

Abigail and Ben : I don't care anymore.

Chad ? I'm still intrigued. I don't like him, nor do I hate him. He even makes Jordan less boring, which in itself is an achievement.

I'm not sure about the new guy either. I'm guessing he's such a flirt to hide he's gay, as I guess in sports, it's still hard to come out. Maybe he will cause trouble between Sonny and Will, if Sonny meets him (purely speculation on my part).

Theresa and Brady : Powerful scenes. And though I hate Theresa, the actress is doing an amazing job. After she hit John on the head, I saw no redeeming for her, but after today... maybe. Just because, again, I see potential in the actress. Though I thought Brady was equal to who he's been for a while : not a clue, stupid decisions after stupid decisions, nothing much there for me to like. For now. I must say, again, I hate this stupid, stupid storyline of Kristen stealing the baby ! This is beyond insulting and ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Lastly, I still like Hope and Aiden. Let's hope the writers don't ruin that too.
 
In a town where lies and half-truths are the order of the day, some inconvenient truths were uttered today: 1) The criminal history of the Hernandez sisters -- poor Mama Hernandez, where did she go wrong?; and 2) Brady's track record with women -- the number of notches on his bedpost puts him right up there with that great medical Romeo, Dr. Daniel Jonas. As for Aiden, what's to be surprised about? If a woman appears to have been murdered, the wife, fiance, or boyfriend is often the first suspect. Finally, what's with this Paul? Could he really be a star major-league pitcher? If so why isn't he being treated by leading sports medicine specialists instead Dr. McScruffy at Salem's center of quackery/malpractice? Doing appendectomies with a can opener in a musty cabin filled with creepy-crawlies hardly qualifies the Love Doctor to do shoulder surgery on major-league players.
 
I guess I've caught the holiday spirit a couple of weeks early because I actually liked today's episode. It's true that nothing monumentally earth-shaking happened I just thought it was a solid episode.

Rafe and Chad. Although I was rooting for Rafe to explain to young mister Snarky McSmug that he really mustn't talk about Gabi that way I was glad that he kept his cool. It's too bad Ben wasn't there to see that it would have showed him how a big boy handles situations like that. I have to say in fairness that Rafe probably should not have brought up what Chad "did to Gabi." Because-and it pains me to say it-Gabi was the bad guy in that situation and I think with the new found maturity she was showing in the days before she left she would be the first to admit it.

I got a kick out of Abigail cluelessly advising Paul to "stay away from recreational sports." She just kind of kept putting her foot in her mouth through that entire conversation and didn't know it. I also found Paul less abrasive today, the jury is still out of course but I think I could like him.
 
Okay, I'm not a doctor and I don't pretend to play one on a soap (however, I probably could as good a job as those yokels!)...BUT, since Theresa was pregnant less than 24 hrs prior to taking a blood test to prove to Brady that she was pregnant, wouldn't her HCG levels still be high and show that she was pregnant? Just saying....
 
NEW SET ALERT I repeat NEW SET ALERT :sarcasm: It was interesting seeing Ben in Austin's his apartment yet none of the other characters have a home. :rolleyes::sick:

Poirot, I completely agree about Nicole today and the dress. Though I still prefer her with longer hair.

TheWriter, Abigail and Jordan specifically discussed the fact that they'd both signed a confidentiality agreement therefore they could discuss Paul together. They did this before they discussed the donation. I too was shocked that they had a conversation that actually made legal sense.

At least Nicole was doing something substantive today. Rafe was just going around town pretending to be Maggie though I enjoyed the scene with Hope. He should have investigated Aiden for her.

Yes, I agree Rafe, Nicole and Eric need better storylines. I could even tolerate a triangle at this point. They really should have made Nicole pregnant by Eric. That would have been a way better storyline than this Jeannie Theresa nonsense.

Did anyone else find it odd that Jordan is a Boston Red Sox fan? Didn't she also say she was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan? That just makes no sense for a girl from Poplar Bluff, MO by way of Miami, FL. But I did enjoy her baseball talk though. :)

The first 2 words of the article Hope was reading said "Meredith Jennings". I wish I could have taken a screen shot as it looked like a legitimate fake article.

It's ironic that on a day that lots of folks in the real world are off, most Salemites are actually at work. Thank you to any past and present members of the military who are on this Board.
:clap:

You'd think her body would still have signs of a lost pregnancy. In addition to the lingering hormone levels, shouldn't she be cramping and bleeding?
