If there is a silver lining in all of the “Chelsea hearts Dr. Jonas” nonsense, it’s Hope keeping the family together. God love Kristian Alfonso, her scenes with Chelsea always get me. I still tear up when I remember Hope helping Chelsea with her ornament on Christmas and today’s episode in the hospital was just as good. While I think it’s ridiculous that Chelsea is the latest character on daytime to suffer infertility, we’re at least getting some good scenes with her family. With Daniel…not so much. For real, when are the writers going to realize that Chelsea has more in common with The Jonas Brothers than Dr. Jonas?
Speaking of the good doctor, I just returned home from a Mystic Tan and I specifically requested the Dr. Daniel blend. For real, I think the set designers could easily turn the Salem Health Club into a tanning salon. I’m just sayin’.
Meanwhile, Brady isn’t kidnapped, he’s just on the H. People, we get it, Kyle Lowder’s not coming back. Still, did you have to go and turn the character into Renton from Trainspotting? Actually, thought’s not a half bad idea. Brady can come back, all skinny and surly and deliver monologues that begin with “Choose Life, choose the Salem Health Club, choose Chez Rouge…” I love how everyone is disgusted with Victor. I know he’s been on the bad guy down low for a few years, but has everyone forgotten that he arranged for an attempted kidnapping of Claire to make Belle look like a bad mom? Yet, Marlena is still his therapist!
In what’s sure to be a hotly discussed topic in his group therapy session later in the week, Brady called home and asked to speak to John because he wanted “to hear the sound of his voice”. Poor Brady, no one’s told him that John has chosen to mimic Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. No surpise here, but John doesn’t remember Brady and tells Blondie that it’s like speaking to a stranger (or the Script Supervisor who’s reading lines on the other end of the phone). Now, I know that John’s memories were erased and then stored on a zip drive, but he’s an amnesiac, not a robot, right? The poor little girl from Small Wonder howed more personality. Yet there’s Marlena standing right beside him with tears practically in her eyes because John may actually have a memory. I was sitting here thinking about what John’s first big memory of Marlena should be and then I had an awesome idea. If Victor really wants to screw with John, he should track down Kristen Blake from her sojourn into white slavery and bring her back to Salem. John won’t recall how crazy she is and there’s the added bonus of pissing Marlena off. Plus she could live in the Dimera Mansion with EJ! It would be the life Kristen always wanted and that, much like Brady calling a cyborg from rehab, brings tears to my eyes.
Well Chelsea and Daniel are ruining the awesome performance RM is putting in, I feel like such a bad fan. When she said that Daniel was the “nicest and kindest” man she knew NEXT TO HER FATHER I couldn’t believe it. Is anyone nicer and kinder than Nick?
Hee, John as Patrick Bateman. I hadn’t thought of that. I hate his new smile.
I feel the Brady wrap up is very lame.

No one is kinder and nicer than Nick, but all that is negated because he is pale and needs glasses.
The Brady wrap up is very lame, but this is the show that gave us Claire turning up dressed as a boy in child beauty pageants when she was swept away during a storm.

I’m totally not remotely up to date, but just had to note that I always tear up when I remember Hope helping Chelsea with the Christmas ornament too. That was such a great scene.
