Episode #10,619 Taped 6/29 Director – Jim Baffico

A real yawn fest today, with most of the show taking place in Vegas. Because of the number and length of recent flashbacks included, I especially checked the credits, and no, James E. Reilly is not listed as head writer. At the Pub, Philip is talking to Billie about the crank calls he has getting of the crying baby. She promises to help, and will try to contact his cell phone server (and no one thought of that before!) to try and see where the calls originate. She goes to another table, Belle joins Philip, waiting for Shawn. He gifts her with bags full of new clothes for her and Claire. She protests slightly, tho loves them. Shawn walks in, sees Belle sitting with Philip, but stops to talk to Billie, and shows her this big diamond ring. Max gave him a huge advance, and he is going to pop the question to Belle tonight. Billie is impressed. Shawn goes over to get Belle, sees the clothes, asks where they came from. Belle cannot look at him, as she lies and says she went shopping with her mom. Shawn talks of paying Marlena back, but Belle claims she would be insulted. Phil doesn’t say a word, just smiles. Shawn goes to get the picnic basket his gramma was to make up for their night on the beach. Phil asks Belle is she questioned Shawn about the trip to Cleveland, and she admits Shawn stuck to his story. So he has a little lie, same as she just told. No big deal. Shawn returns, and they leave.
Billie comes over, tells Phil the calls are originating from Indianapolis, and does he know anyone there. Nope. She promises to find the name of the person.

At the Roberts’ apt. replay of EJ hearing the beeping noise coming from his briefcase, Lucas pushing Sami out of the way. Stupid EJ, instead of throwing the briefcase out in the hall, out the window, anything, sits down, and opens the case. Smoke rises, all ask what is that? Later, we see EJ and Lucas coming to, and Sami is missing. EJ sees the canister, says it contained ether. Roman & Bo are there in a bit, and discover the perps came in the fire escape, breaking a window. Seems the police guards received a bogus call that called off the stakeout. Yep, chalk up another victory for the Salem PD! Roman informs them of Andre’s fake paralysis (they found a syringe with a muscle blocker) and he is gone. Stefano is also missing. Lucas is having a fit, Roman calms him down, and says they will do the search, Lucas should stay put. Sami is a smart girl, and if she can, she will call. Roman & Bo leave, EJ says, at last, and now wants a reluctant Lucas to go with him. He knows how his father thinks, and what he will do, and feels that if they work together as a team, they can get the job done.

As to Vegas,:bored:, both Jett & Chelsea wonder what Nick is doing there. Jerk says he is acting weird, then leaves. Nick talks about the date he & Chelsea were supposed to have, she reminds him of the fight they had. She goes to get dressed. Nick has a few words with Jett, who says they are just friends. He leaves. Nick goes back into the room. Jeremy comes out, gets into the hot tub, Stephanie joins him. He wants to see her “little piggy”, the toe ring, she flashes back to long sequence of Chelsea telling her it was a guilt gift. She questions Jeremy, he gets mad, leaves. Chelsea & Jett go down to the casino. Nick decides to borrow someone’s clothes from a suitcase and changes clothes. Down in the casino, Max is not having much luck, leaves the table, then spots Ilsa with some guy. The fellow leaves, Max approaches Ilsa, wondering what she is doing there, She brushes him off, the guy returns, tells Max she is with him, swings at him, misses, falls on a table. Security ushers him out. Ilsa goes, too. Jeremy gives Max his big cut of the sideline profits, telling him that soon they are going to have to have an off shore account. Stephanie comes down, cozies up to Jeremy, he apologizes, she has no problem, as she knows the makeup sex will be great. (This girl has no self respect at all…..the whole thing is disgusting). They talk of having dinner with her folks, and how sweet and charming Jerko will be. Ilsa goes by, Jeremy spots her and goes after her. Max spots them both, and follows. Chelsea & Jett are sitting at the bar, watching it all. We see Jeremy talking with Ilsa, telling her to just do her job. Along comes Max asking just what job is that Jeremy? Now we see Nick making a loud mouthed grand entrance, announcing himself, how great it is to be in Vegas, and he is all ready to have fun. And yes, he is still wearing that bandage around his head, and no one asks at all. He puts money down on the blackjack table, getting chips in return.
On the beach, Belle is talking of the moon making a path on the water, sparkly bright light on black velvet. If that is not a cue, I do not know what is. Shawn hauls out the ring box, tells Belle to open it, and asks her to marry him.

let me add....in re: the Roberts apt. Lucas is convinced that Stefano is after the babies, (which is why Sami is missing) Roman is not so sure, but EJ says Lucas is right. Stefano wants the babies, and cares nothing about anyone, except to add a few more years to his life.
 
Hi!! I'm new to the group. I've been a Days watcher as long as I can remember...probably 25 years at least (I'll be 35 next month so it's needless to say...I didn't play outside much as a child :) ). I am really disappointed in the way the writers are making Stephanie out to be...I am so sure a daughter of Steve and Kayla would be so stupid as to allow a guy to take complete advantage of her and use her the way Jeremy uses her. I liked the other Stephanie's character better (not by much) because at least she was competetive, smart and seemed to have her head on her shoulders...most of the time.
 
You are so right Poirot, this Vegas thing is awfully boring. I usually go into another room when all that is happening and only listen to it. I hope SOMETHING exciting happens soon, it seems to be at a standstill.
 
Thanks Poirot, love your new pic!
Good to see Billie has the Salem brain today, I can't wait to see how this all plays out with the baby.
 
Thanks for the recap. I really enojy them. I hate the Vegas story but your recaps are great. :)
 
ok a couple of things...

i used to really like belle. i always wanted a shawn/belle reunion but lately...well i would love to see shawn and philip both dump her butt and find other people! she is getting very annoying. what she cant buy her own clothes. if she needs them that bad then she really does need to go with her mom. NOT philip!

so jermey and stephanie are talking about how charming he will be at dinner. what exactly is charming about him???

and i agree with the majority here. the whole vegas scene needs to wrap up fast!
 
You know what was weird about the Jerk? In the hot tub, he was questioning Stephanie as to anyone saying any bad things about him.(like Max) She asks, like what? Anything, and he goes on about people getting jealous and perhaps making stuff up. Later he shows her his wad of money, and even stuffs some down her bra.
Well.......Stephanie was supposed to know him from Dayton. He was her boyfriend already when there. She SHOULD know him pretty well by now. So why is she taking all this garbage from him, and pretending to be surprised when he verbally, emotionally and then physically abuses her?

I truly cannot wait for Steve to lay into him, and for her to get her eyes opened.
 
Yeah I'm with you on that Poirot LOL but Steve is side-tracked now with this Andra thang, but I'm sure once he finds out whats going on with Stephanie I think he's the one that will put ole Jerky boy in his place or even better Bo :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: him or Steve or maybe both of them should pay him a visit. Max is wayyyyyyy tooooooooo soft for this and Jerky knows this......
 
I have a feeling that Mama Bear Kayla will be the one to put ol' Jerkemy in his place...once she finds out how he's treating her baby girl.
 
Well Shawn was in Indianapolis and the calls came from there Shawn has started the whole thing and I think Belle may dump him when she finds out for a minute and then she will change her mind again.
 
Isn't it odd that Philip has not told either Belle or Shawn about the calls? After all, they are his good friends...and are living with him, aren't they?
 
An interesting point...why hasn't Philip told Belle and Shawn, could be he suspects Shawn, but that doesn't explain why he hasn't told Belle.
Belle, Belle, Belle, there's no such thing as a little white lie when it involves your ex!
 
Hate the Vegas storyline like all of you. Hate that they are making Max so darn dumb too. Belle, really gets on my nerves, so hate that storyline too. Now EJ love him and love the DiMeara storyline. Glad the old Tony is back and hope he stays for a long time. I think on down the road EJ and Sami will be together...I love Lucas and his acting is so darn good. I do think EJ is the best actor on the show. Who do you all think is the best actor on the show. Male or female.
 
I remember Belle Shawn and Philip talking about the calls at the Pub sometime last week.

As for Stephanie and the Jerk...a relationship that ends in abuse doesn't start that way. I hate that it's happening to her, and I know that soaps aren't about public service announcements, but hopefully it will help some young girl out there that doesn't EVEN realize that she is being mistreated.

Oh Yeah, and why doesn't Max stand up to that fool. I understand why they have to make Steph pathetic, but why Max????
 
i think he knows he is a jerk but doesnt have the solid proof and until he does he is just gonna observe...jmo
 
Does it strike anyone else that something about Tony isn't right? On the island, clothes, not ratty or dirt enough, an abundance of food, housing, clean shaven, perfect hair cut? His ladies? Perfect clean hair, and clothes? Alone for years, then he said the ladies came about 6 years ago? No culture shock? No social trauma? He left the ladies alone on the island to fend for themselves? No emotional attachment after 6 years?
I began watching DOOL in the summer of 1967.
 
I guess the island that Tony was on was the same one that Gilligan and the rest were on. After all, those people always looked really good for being castaways.
 
I thought Belle new about the calls to and that Philip had told her about them
 
LOL as I watched the Days episode yesterday I couldn't stop laughing when Nick tried on some clothes and looked himself in the mirror and was like checkin how hot he was with him and his head wrap, LOL. Then he goes into the Casino and no one cares about what happened to his head or asks him anything about it, LOL, must be the new fashion statement! :rotfl:
