So I took one for the team and watched three hours of Days of Our Lives today, or perhaps I should refer to it by its new name, Flashbacks of Our Lives, because that was a good 45 minutes right there.
I’ve always been slightly fascinated by the Marlena/Stefano non-romance. Part of me wishes that she would have developed legitimate, non-chemically related feelings for Steffie, just so we could see the Good Doctor develop a shade of gray. (I don’t count the demonic possession or serial killer storylines). I’d just really like to see everyone in Salem lose their shit over Marlena packing up the penthouse and moving to Tuscany to sip wine and listen to operas. I have a feeling that Stefano wouldn’t put up with the gasping and moaning, either.
I have to say that Stefano shows suprising agility and ingenuity for just waking out of a coma-like paralyses. Then again, John was very virile after coming back from the dead, so there you go. I could have done without the laughing/hysteria gas but we got to see extended Tony and Anna, so it was worth it. I love Tony and Anna and am just happy to see them in a storyline that doesn’t involve interns and reality television.
In other news, Baby Joe is missing. Honestly, with the life that little boy has had so far, I’m suprised it’s taken so long for him to be kidnappeed. He’s just lucky Ava was off the meds and sipping Cristal with John because she would have taken that baby back to Port Charles with her. I get that Baby Joe was readily accessible, but shouldn’t Sami and EJ’s son have been the kidnapping victim? I mean, that would give Sami another reason to scream and cry hysterically, so I’m surprised they didn’t go that route.
Oh and what’s up with this film noir thing next week? Yeah, that’s really going to make me want to watch that instead of Track and Field.
