Ya Think??? it takes you this long to figure that out?? there is no hope for Salem's Police Department.

[katmouse]

Is Kate hiding Philip?

Did Johnny and Chanel get married?

So, Jan must be the other "Belle" we saw in the winter preview.

 

[robinsnest]

Is EVERY man in Salem dumber than dirt??? that they don't realize the woman they are with is latex?

 

[Poirot]

and it looks like there will be nothing MERRY about Christmas in Salem this year. Dang it, ReRon just must love sad times.

 

[Moira]

There is enough negativity in the press, why would I watch this drivel?

 

[robinsnest]

Has Re-Ron written a happy cheery Christmas in his reign of terror?

We have the possibility for such a happy Christmas but alas.... it appears it will be holiday without joy AGAIN

 

[Jen67]

Not just Ron, but has any Days headwriter wrote a happy Christmas in the last decade or so? All of the happy Christmases I remember on Days were in the earlier years. In the last decade I remember that year Hope was in prison and Bo trying to break her out. There were only a few Hortons decorating the Christmas tree that year with Ciara, Julie, and Doug. There was also the year Chloe gave birth to Holly and went into a coma without getting a chance to tell Nicole that Holly was her baby with Daniel. So I don't think it's just Ron.

 

[Moira]

It might not just be Ron - but he is the head writer and supposedly approves the storylines or even tells them to write a story based on "misery".

Mary and Joseph had an easier time giving birth in a barn than the people of Salem navigating life at Christmastime. None of them want for squat - -except maybe a brain.

 

[oldsoapie]

"Misery" is a common theme on all soap operas. Supposedly to keep the show interesting.....

 

[Operagirl]

In Salem, most women give birth in a cabin.

 

[Poirot]

LOL, Ron is the headwriter, maps out storylines 6 -8 mos. in advance. The breakdown writers then take over.
"Breakdown writers write the narrative script and the scriptwriter dialogues it. There is also a script editor who makes sure all the days track. It's like an assembly line that can't break down and writers can't miss their deadlines."

[Poirot]

PLEASE do not tell me that only 4 people will be doing the ornament hanging at the Horton house.

 

[robinsnest]

Nope. MAR-DEVIL shows up to the ornament hanging...Dee Hall/Marlena said in one of her interviews thought it was "cute" that is would be the last time she is ever invited back. So at least 5 folks

 

[Jen67]

In the winter promo, Jack, Jennifer, Chad, Abby, Thomas and Charlotte are at the Horton Christmas so that would bring the number to 11. At .26 seconds you can see a brief glimpse of the family at Horton House. I tried to do a screen grab but I don't know how to do that in YouTube.
