Looking back a year ago in Salem, I remember a particular storyline that was beginning to form eloquently, the bitter family feud between the dynasties of Stefano DiMera and Victor Kiriakis. Hits were being ordered on Philip, Brady being beat up, Stephanie locked in a morgue drawer, the accidential death of Tony DiMera and explosive meetings between Stefano and Victor, and their sons Philip and EJ. I was rather disappointed when Victor and Stefano made a ‘truce’ about stopping the violence and leaving each other’s families alone.
The shooting of EJ provides a perfect opportunity for the Dimera/Kiriakis family wars to begin. Stefano will be out for blood for who shot his son, and although, we know it was Sami, if Stefano believes Victor is behind the attack, a new wave of their feud will begin. I would love to see the two mob families come back into the light, and Stefano to go back to his evil self. I love the chemistry of Kate and Stefano, and the chemistry of Victor and Vivian, and I think there are so many possibilities that could fester from this feud. Here are a few Plot Ideas that could involve these family wars:
1.Stefano seeks revenge on EJ’s murder, and in turn blames Victor. This ignites a torpedo of violence including kidnappings, shootings, drug wars, extortion, and more. It will become a whole new era for Days, taking away from the repetitive conversations actors seem to have with each other and the storylines that drag out. A bitter war will create suspense and thrill.
2.Stefano steals the Phloe baby, which is really his son with Kate, after he had Dr.Rolf impregnate Chloe while she was in the hospital
3.Brady seeks revenge on the DiMeras, and since his character is going dark, buries a member of the DiMera family alive.
4.Nicole and Brady team up to exact revenge on the DiMeras after everything they’ve done to her.
5.Stefano orders Melanie to be kidnapped
6.What if Will is really Stefano and Kate’s son and Chad is Lucas and Sami’s son? Stefano switched the babies at birth.
It could extend to many new storylines. What are your ideas?
If this feud is going to get going, I would love to see the return of John Black, Megan Hathaway (Stefano’s adopted daughter), Ava Vatale and her father Martino, Troy, and Dr.Rolf . I think it would really be Emmy-worthy.
Also, it might be time for Jan Spears to return to campus and for a serial killer to hit town….
What are your ideas?

Bo Doesn’t Want To Do Right

I’m just listing things that over the past few months we’ve seen almost as much as CarBo together as a couple. Its bad enough that Bo was gone for two months but since he’s returned I’d literally be shocked if the number of scenes these two have had together even cracks double digits. It seems like Carly is in more of a relationship with Chloe than she is with Bo at this point.
I’ve racked my brain trying to figure out why this is. Why are the writers not giving them scenes together? I’ve never seen a loving couple spend less time together with the exception of Pac-Man & Mrs. Pac-Man(I’ve never seen them together). I thought maybe the lack of CarBo was because other storylines needed more time so they just got pushed to the back burner. For a second I thought maybe the writers keep forgetting CarBo was a couple now, which actually wouldn’t shock me. After some more extensive thinking, the light bulb came on and a question popped in my head. Could the lack of CarBo scenes be on purpose because they don’t want the fans to get too attached to them?
Its no secret that once CarBo breaks up, that’s it, its a wrap, they’re not getting back together. That’s the biggest difference between EJami(and even Lumi fans) and CarBo fans. No matter who Sami is with there will always be light at the end of the tunnel for the EJamis and Lumis. There’s always a possibility of reconciliation. But when it comes the the CarBo fans when Bo & Hope get back together, they’ll be together until the end of time, unless someone leaves the show. There are no more conceivable reasons for Bope to break up anymore. The writers have obviously been teasing Bo & Hope reuniting for months now and maybe they feel like if they keep showing us less and less of CarBo, we’ll slowly start forgetting about them and when they break up, it will be easier to take and will be less of a backlash from the CarBo community.
Look, I like to think of us CarBos as a highly intelligent bunch. We know that the end game is obviously Bo & Hope, though it doesn’t make sense because despite their 25 year history(and there are a bunch of gaps in that 25 years) Carly is obviously better catch of the two. I’d like to think I speak on behalf of Team CarBo when I say that if you’re going to break up Carly & Bo at least make their time together memorable. Give us some stuff that makes us satisfied with the time that Carly & Bo have had together, because at this point the writers are failing miserably in that department. I want CarBo reuniting to actually seem worth while and not just seem like the writers are just biding their time until they pull the trigger on Bo & Hope reuniting.
So I ask, is it possible that the writers just don’t want us to get too attached to CarBo, or could there be another reason that a couple with so much chemistry is hardly written for?

Looks like Sami did it. Any chance of a hidden gunman?

A new storyline
How do you solve a problem like Nathan? Well, some of the DaysTalk community want to see Nathan pursue Melanie again or even Chloe. But Chloe has a number of men and a baby on the way. And I am not sure pairing Nathan and Melanie will fix the boredom problem since we have experienced them in the past. Back when Nathan first arrived in Salem, I was enthralled with how cute and sweet this medical resident, Nathan Horton, was. Now, not so much. He is still cute and nice, but his stethoscope has tarnished for me over these few months. He and Stephanie are always in the midst of some romantic tryst scene or he is pensively looking at the ceiling. In my opinion, he is a pretty dull fellow now.
As a legacy character and a member of the vanishing Horton clan, Nathan should play a bigger role than he has. When I first saw Mark Hapka as Nathan, he reminded me of the Bucky Carter character on Ryan’s Hope in the late 1970’s. Now, I really started to watch Ryan’s Hope on Soapnet back a few years ago. I did not watch during its original run. It seems Soapnet only runs the first 2-3 years of the soap in a loop with two back to back episodes airing from 5 am – 6 am weekdays.
Bucky Carter was a neurology resident at Riverside Hospital and heir to a 30 million dollar trust fund. He was very sensitive about his patients and his money. I think parts of Bucky’s character profile could help the character profile of our Nathan in Salem.

A new storyline
We received some feedback on new storylines for the character of Stephanie in our post, ‘Who Deserves a New Storyline.’ Out of all four of the Salem denizens we evaluated, we got more responses about Stephanie than any other character. Primarily, the feedback was that she did not need to be with Nathan. No one seemed to like her focus on capturing Nathan’s heart at all costs.
In theory, I agree with that assumption wholeheartedly. Call me old school – but Stephanie IS Kayla and Steve’s daughter – a legacy character in my opinion. For one brief minute between being a racecar driver and a simpering hospital PR administrator (was this Carrie Brady’s old job at Salem University Hospital ?) – Stephanie has lost her roots and herself.

Does EJ kill himself or does Sami shoot him? Will Nicole seduce Daniel next?
