What did I miss?

I really couldn’t figure out what I missed. Probably mostly commercials.

 was pretty much the same back and forth dialogue …. Eduardo trying to make nice with Rafe and him not having any of it; Eve telling Eduardo when he tried to come up to her after everyone was leaving the gravesite and her stopping him in his tracks; continuing seeing image of Paige telling her mother how much she wanted her to forgive herself because she forgave her (all in her mind I imagine) then disappearing when Eve went to hug her daughter.  Then we saw another sad, very well acted (but again, enough already) scene of Eve throwing her head down an crying on Paige’s casket, and that’s when it came back to where they were holding the gatering after the funeral, and yes, Theresa was her typical over-bearing, selfish, me, me, me self, being a bitch about Jenn and JJ being there, as well as Daniel.  Fortunately, Brady put her in her place and told her she was the one being mean and obnoxious because everyone, including Jen, JJ and Dan, was there for Paige, and not for her, and I was proud of Brady for reminding Theresa how many times she, herself, mistrated or was mean to Paige, which shut her up faster than a slap in her arrogant face and, of course, brought the crocodile tears to her eyes.  And all this after she agreed to play nice yesterday with Jen and Abigail.

Other than those few missing scenes, I’m getting sick of Eve, again.  When she proceeded to tell off Jennifer and JJ and Daniel, again, (enough already) and they simply decided to leave without arguing with her, plus Theresa’s outbursts and phony tears backing her sister, I just couldn’t take anymore of this funeral or it’s aftermath.  Justin continued being an ass where Chad was concerned, and Rafe continued acting like Eduardo was a deadbeat, dirtbag dad (which he has been) and told him he did not need, nor due he want, his help.  I thought it as interesting when we now learned that Eduardo was also in the FBI, and feels that Rafe followed in his footsteps in that regard.  The shocker for me was when Eduardo (who had made a call earlier but we did not know who he was speaking to) welcomed a cameramn and a female news persnon, introduced himself as Eduardo Larson, and then offered the sum of $100,000 to anyone who could provide information leading to the capture of his daughter’s murderer, one Chad DiMera, complete with showing a 5X7 very current pic of Chad (me wondering how or where he obtained it), to which we simply see a startled look on everyone’s face.  Tells me Eduardo is going to stick around for a while yet, especially when he is determined to meet Gabi and let her know that Paige was her half-sister.

All I can say is that I am happy with everyone’s performance, but I honestly hope we get this kind of tribute to the next victim of the SK, since this person is HUGE!!!!  I think most of why Paige got this kind of respect was due to the fact that Kassie is such a marvelous actor that they wanted to display a proper exit sl for her, which will lead into bigger sls for many others.  Personally, I’d be hurt if I was Melissa Archer (Serena), who got nada, but who is a much more recognized in the soap world as an accomplished actress, and True O’Brien was a lovely girl, but nowhere was she in MR’s class.  I’ll give these writers credit for that much, anyway, because we didn’t even get this kind of exit for past vets, but the next one, for sure, had better be huge, because of who it is and how many will be affected by it!  JMO!

My apologies for this rather long post.

about the funeral lunch that Jen and JJ should have not been there and made already bad blood worse on a day when Eve would be particularly sensitive.

remember that she was well-liked by many in Salem where Serena, not so much. I don’t think it had anything to do with the actor’s talent. Personally, I couldn’t care a fig about seeing any tribute to Serena yet would have felt cheated to miss out on Paige’s.

And I disagree about Jen, Daniel and JJ not being there. After all, Jen was kind of mentoring her at the hospital so she was a co-worker and she was JJ’s steady girlfriend and a frequent babysitter for Daniel, plus a close friend to all. If that doesn’t qualify them, I don’t know what else would.
