I just watched that preview and I've got some goosebumps!!! Can't wait.

It's awesome isn't it

I've been watching old clips from way back in the day...I only started watching S&K in the fall of 86, so I've been looking around getting more on how he came to Salem, his connection to Bo & Roman etc. I had read about how it all happened, but it has been fun watching the clips. He was a really baaaddddddddddd **** back then...I know a lot of people like the idea of pairing him up with someone else, but for me, as a follower of "their" love story, I'm pulling for them

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Hey Mad4Mickey nice of you to come around to your own thread How you doing? Do you know I am catching up toyour number of posts on this thread .Come back and complain with us .....

I have not been watching becuase I think it has gotten that bad. We have better ideas thenthe show has LOL

I am doing fine just trying not to freeze it is down in the 50's tonight brrrrr

 

[mickey4ver]

M4M....the show is slowly coming around with the new writers, I'm hoping for better SL's and people getting back "in" character. It would be nice if it could be like years ago, where you didn't want to miss an episode, even if they drug the storyline out....There is a lot of stuff to wrap up from JERk, so it may take a little longer. Sami & Lucas are heading in the right direction too and they are a cute couple. Shawn is my only sticking point, and I don't like the new guy, so that is my biggest problem with him. He signed for 3 yrs. but they have been known to drop people before contracts are up...we'll see

Let's all keep our fingers crossed for some good stuff

edited to add a little something I've been reading elsewhere...........

it has to play out what happened to Steve and why he has no memories these last years....so he was most likely brainwashed...now, we know that Hope and Marlena have been messed with in the brain in the past by the DiMearas, SO...it could be part of this story (unknowing to themselves) that they all are encouraging Steve to gravitate to Billie, and even HIS liking Billie could be part of his brainwashing...Stephano and his family LOVE to mess with the Brady's, so it could be his attempt to ruin S&K...angst is part of it all, so it's actually more interesting to me that they will have to "find" their way back to each other

Bo and Billie in bed.........AGAIN........ that scenario and Chelsa finding them is getting old already, what the heck is the matter with Bo? Geez, makes you want to toss your cookies.

I am just getting to this week's episodes so this is a bit out of date but... does anyone else buy this? I just can't believe that Bo would even THINK about sleeping with Billie given the fight he is waging for Hope right now! Totally unbelievable if you ask me! I can't stand it when the writers try to set something up that is so completely out of character just so they can cause something else - i.e. Chelsea getting pictures and then using them (which I assume she will). Ugh!

 

[momof2inPA]

The old Hope lost a lot of weight and her voice changed when she started smoking. It was weird how much she changed.

 

[mickey4ver]

I've pondered the whole thing of Billie and Bo falling into bed the other day, and I thought that maybe, just MAYBE, and the way in panned out, with them both saying they couldn't do it, that perhaps it was a way for the new writer to give them closure on their past before starting off in the new direction the SL is supposedly going to go...let's hope anyway.

Yes, Hope is really thin from her younger days and yes, her voice has seemed to change...

I'm having fun YouTubing old episodes, the hair, the clothes.....the makeup and the earrings they wore

 

[MerryPoppins]

I'm not crazy about the new Shawn. However, I could live with him playing the character if they hadn't changed him completely. It's like he's a whole new person and I can't abide that. His relationship with Willow is creepy.

And Bo and Billy? That's so old news. Are these soap stars so sex-starved that they'll sleep with anybody, anytime they get a chance? Hello, both are interested in someone else?

I've been watching for years and they're starting to lose my interest. If they mess up things with Kayla and Steve, I think I'll just give up. Why can't they bring aboard some new people and give us back a few happy endings?

 

[mickey4ver]

As Kayla hovers near death this week on "Days of Our Lives," Steve's memory begins to return. "Steve and Kayla are in a quarantine facility," says Stephen Nichols who plays Steve (Patch) Johnson. "Steve arrived at the hospital at Stephanie's request to find Kayla locked in a room. After breaking the door down, bad guys sprayed Steve and Kayla with a biotoxin."
Steve rallies. Kayla does not.
"Steve pledges to help Kayla by talking to her, using stories and memories that he gets from Hope," says Nichols.
While borrowing memories, the amnesiac Steve starts to have actual ones. And then a blond stranger appears, which sparks the first memory Steve has of Kayla.
"Viewers will know he is Benjy [the deaf boy Steve and Kayla cared for years ago] because his appearance causes Steve to recall one of his procedural skills," says Nichols.
Cue the flashbacks
- "something to do with Patchyclaus on the Pier at Christmastime" -
and more comes back.
"The trouble with Steve is that someone has messed with his head," explains Nichols. "Even though he has a couple of memories from the past, he is having trouble connecting the feelings to the pictures in his head. For Steve, it's like watching a movie because there are no feelings that he can clearly identify within the realm of his experience. This is a result of the 'erasure' techniques the bad guys employed."
In the middle of all that, Kayla takes a turn for the worse and flatlines. So Steve kisses her, of course.
"Steve's instinct is to save her and this is the final desperate act," says Nichols. "Steve pulls her into this deep lingering kiss, never consciously believing it will make any difference."
But it does.
"It's magic, baby!" quips the actor.
Well, that - and a serum that cures Kayla. Too bad there isn't a serum to make Steve's memory return.
"At one point, when Steve is asking an unconscious Kayla if she remembers the time she gave him the pool cue," says Nichols, "Steve stops and remarks, 'How about that? I'm asking you if you remember. What's up with that?!'"

I just love spoilers One of those simple things in life that gives so much pleasure....

..and what is better than a spoiler straight from the horses mouth (Stephen Nichols) in the above.....

 

[NAB]

Thanks Mickey4ver-- love spoilers to usaully I am the one that is doing it and don't really benefit

I think they will get back together too. They have to work it so we just can't wait for that moment that they will. Just like way back when Marlena came back from the dead and John was on the dock. I love those romantic moments.

I like the days of the big weddings. When you couldn't wait until you see the wedding dress. Now they don't build it up at all and it goes on for days. Of course no one is really happily married right now. I can't even remember if John and Marlena got married with Austin and Carrie. They didn't did they?

 

[MerryPoppins]

Now THAT sounds more like it. Saved by his kiss sounds so Sleeping Beauty or Snow White, doesn't it? I love it.

 

[MerryPoppins]

The ones that are happily married need to get out of town. Otherwise, they'll end up sleeping with someone else sooner or later.

 

[mickey4ver]

I agree, the weddings were always the frosting on the cake, big shindigs with beautiful gowns and big veils and hair

I'm of course rooting for my couple, but I want it to be a fight all the way, so it is that much sweeter when it happens and they are together again...woohoo

Day's used to have THE best intrigue story lines, and personal issues thrown in, and they have strayed SO far from that, that is what it needs to get back to...although I do have to say I'm looking forward to watching each episode now much more than in the past couple years, it finally is more interesting. With that said, I've sworn off Shawn and Belle til the rightful owners of those parts return

 

[momof2inPA]

Steve/Kayla storyline is too predictable. Who couldn't have seen that one coming?

At least there was a little Sami and EJ, today, but he had his shirt on (bummer).

 

[NAB]

I can't believe I feel to sleep the last 10 mins.Today. It was good to.Staying up late , it caught up.

Belle took Clarie over to Victor's today. She gave him all the instructions to him and then at then end of that she said Oh and you can't take her out of Salem. So that had me wondering if that is what he is going to do. Actually he was walking around the manison telling Claire that this was all hers. She is soul heir to it all. No one else. Then he said he had a secret. And he opened a door in the wall. Then they went away to something else and I fell asleep. He also said that she would never forget Phillip so I thought maybe he had Phillip in there

Another strange thing that happened was Benji just shows up talks to Steve and leaves. No one else sees him, they do a flash back and he remembers Benji and their first Christmas. I am glad the new writer is in the right season in the remembering part. Then Benji signs goodbye and that is it.

John and Marlena are yet again crashing in a plane....surprise surprise.

So if anyone gets a day early like me can you tell me what Victor had in the room.

Kate and Sami are working for John and Bo to get E.J. But of course it is going to blow up in her face again. Poor Sami. That was your todays I think.

NAB- I'm not a day early but I will let you know tomorrow if it is something that isn't cleared up on the next epi.

 

[s&k'smom]

It sounds to me like Victor and Phillip will be in on the custody fight issue that is supposed to be coming up. It is nice to see Victor up to his old tricks.

 

[mickey4ver]

I've found a site that has a lot of the old episodes, mostly S&K, but I was watching some of them last night, and BOY, Victor was a real meanie way back when..

Benji flew thru the waiting area yesterday (well yesterday for us ) very quickly, and Steve gave him that look "I know you, but don't know how I know you"...so I'm guessing your eppy is showing him some more...I think he is some key to Nick's/Steve's past.....
