SPOILER !! Week Aug 14

[Operagirl]

It is a shame that a character like Victor is not getting the respect he deserves in death. When Macdonald Carey died, Tom Horton died in his sleep and was discovered by his wife, Alice. He was mourned by everyone and given a proper good-bye. Granted, Tom Horton was a saint and Victor was, well, he was Victor! I don't have Peacock, so I will have to look here for funeral details. I just hope they can do a decent job.

Stefano had another crappy ending. He goaded Hope into shooting him and then was rolled up in a rug and dumped in an abandoned building. He was most certainly another baddie but the great actors like John Aniston and Joe Mascolo deserve to have their characters go to the great beyond with a bit or respect and dignity.

@tennisdocc isn't Neil dead?

Yes I believe it was mentioned Neil had died, but this is Salem, anyone and everyone has died and come back. Many have been presumed dead and then suddenly appeared again after months or years or even decades.

When Macdonald Carey died, Tom Horton died in his sleep and was discovered by his wife, Alice. He was mourned by everyone and given a proper good-bye.

Days also still had a large budget back in 1994. They have had their budget slashed, slashed, and slashed again in the last several years, which is why we get holidays, weddings, funerals, etc. with with a bare-bones set and minimal cast members.

I read somewhere that are not allowed to have more than 10 actors on set.

Looking back at Alice's funeral, with all the characters they brought back, plus the regular cast, there must have been close to twenty actors.

 

[ErasofDiMeras]

I wonder if Gwen will finally get a clue when she sees Leo on their honeymoon?

Leo/Dimitri also can come up with a smooth lie and Dimitri say to Gwen he brought Leo to surprise her with her best friend in Iceland to go along with the journey. Kind of how I see it, maybe dragging out a bit longer till Gwen finally realizes how strange/odd that was to invite Leo on their honeymoon.

As for the Stefan/Melinda spoiler, I speculate that Stefan knows Melinda is keeping a secret (Sloan's secret about switching Nicole's baby's paternity) and Stefan will pressure her into giving up the truth. In which, as we all know and I hope, can start to put a conclusion in this redundant storyline with Stefan running to either EJ or Nicole with the truth. Whomever first, or both at the same time.

 

[Operagirl]

Gwen wouldn't know a clue if it jumped up and bit her in the butt!

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

I read somewhere that are not allowed to have more than 10 actors on set.

If the show put half the energy into filming and story integrity as they do into ignoring HR complaints, they'd use the MacMurray method and film 10 actors one day, 10 another, and make it look like everyone's in the same room.

It's really bizarre they haven't already done this, since they film multiple pieces from different episodes on a single day.

Leo's outfit seems really quiet. Almost normal.

 

[Poirot]

Guess that is his outfit for going to Iceland.....I hope there is more, as he may freeze up from the waist to the toes. LOL.

[Just Samantha]

I really hate that they're going with the "no body was found in the wreckage" storyline, giving the characters false hope.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Lame.

But kudos to the writer/Wally Kurth for their creativity, e.g., "Justin is a smart guy," and "the worst news Justin (whose wife and parents have been killed already and whose wife was recently kidnapped) has received in a long, long time," and of course, the idea that Victor raised anybody.

It doesn't even sound like they're doing an adventure aspect to the story. Weak.

 

[TinaY]

What is Leo wearing? It’s summer still. I’ve been to Iceland in July, and while it can be cool and rainy at elevation, that’s a bit much. I’m so over these lies. Please let Gwen find out and drown them both in a sulfur spring.

Gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes remembering John Aniston AKA the One & Only Victor Kiriakis.

I better have the Kleenex ready when the special episode comes on.

 

[Poirot]

With the wreckage found in the Mediterranean, unless Vic could swim to shore, or was able to jump before the crash, parachute.........heck, what about the pilot??? His body??

Just hope that the show does justice for Victor.

Would have loved a small Greek dance in his honor....tho probably none of the cast is able, and the show would not pay for any royalties. I can hear the melody in my mind, don't know the name.....but Anthony Quinn did it in Zorba the Greek. Maybe with just a few of his family......but.....wishful thinking, for sure.
