My Name

and you wonder why we get along so well????  I would think it’s because I agree with you 99 44/100% of the time.  I love me some kick-ass Hope; however, I don’t like to see any character for 35 out of 37 days in any given month.  That’s what we’ve seen with Hope.  Talk about repetitive dialogue….let’s take a break, shall we?

Personally, I liked the name Colin for the baby, but Thomas suits the 50th anniversary theme, since Tom Horton is the true patriarc and deserves the recognition.  But "Jack" is a nickname, not a proper middle name, and is usually short for "John."  So, I guess I can forgive Abigail because I’m surprised they don’t have a room reseved in some Salem rest and rehabilitation center with her name on it.  I mean, I was thinking of ways to blow that damn secluded cabin up myself.  Again, talk about repetition.  Good riddance!

Eduardo and Kate?  Seriously???  First it was Stefano and son, E.J., now she hops from Rafe to his daddy, Eduardo….who’s next….Philip????  Oh, wait!!!!

I agree with you 100% on Tamara Braun, but Ava Vitali I can do without.  Oh, well, at least we know she’s going to be full of pi$$ and vinigar going after Steve and Kayla and that might be entertaining …. for a while anyway.  But this new chick, whose name is Meredith, I believe, is just one huge gaping nobody bad girl who popped in with no backstory, but obviously connected to the John Black saga about to unfold.  Yeah, I’ll hold my breath waiting for this sl to excite me.  Keep Kate in the corporate world, where those fabulous nails of many colors can do some real damage.  So, Lucas lives in the Salem Inn now, too?  Well, at least we got a hint he was still alive and well.

And as far as Steve (Patch) Johnson is concerned, my dear, 50?  You are too kind.  The dude turned 61 in February, and as much as I love him, he and Kayla do not exude a sexy, passionate couple for me.  Get this P.I. sl with John going and do what you do best, but I’m sure Ava has other plans for both of them soon.  Oh, and the sooner you let you son, Joe, in on who his partner is, the better, because Cupid she definitely ain’t!  But, I’m sure he’ll soon learn that those arrows she’s aiming at his parents won’t be love darts!  LOL!

Finally, I believe this 50th arc will see the end of Stefano DiMera, and I think it may have already happened behind the scenes.

In fact, the music in general has been pointing up since the new regime.

incredibly good the last couple of months. I don’t know if they have someone new on staff but whoever is responsible gets my applause!

Now, some other stuff. I can’t stand Ava, character or actor. She left me absolutely flat last time she was on and I’m not expecting much more this time either. I don’t know what TFlo and Patti see in her.

And, yes, Jack is definitely a stand-alone name. I know a couple of them. Just like Steve/Steven, Mike/Michael, Andy/Andrew, well, you get the drift. But I just knew Jack would come in there somewhere. But why do they have to name all these kids after someone? How about some original and different names for a change, like Tate?

And finally…Hope and the doctor? How absolutely ridiculous was that scene. He was all tied up, being tortured, then he turns the tables and is on the verge of killing Hope then all of a sudden, “Oh, let’s make a deal, shall we?” She let’s him walk out the door like nothing has happened. Boy, that was the epitome of trust. Totally, entirely unbelievable. Not only that, with all those volts the doctor took, he wouldn’t be walking as gingerly as he was…IF he could walk at all. And Hope wouldn’t be able to utter a word after being choked for that long.

 but gosh I loved her father, who was the very handsome Joe Penny.
