I was cruising for pictures and found this one. HAHAHAHA!!! Look at her wrinkly cleavage!
Wow, it's been a long time since I've talked about either Days or Passions (http://primetimetvblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/passions-of-my-days.html). A lot's happened, but then again, not really that much. It's been about five months since I wrote anything but only a week or so in Salem and Harmony. Of course anyone who's pregnant or married is now acting like they've been that for months or years. I love these shows.
On Days, the main thing that happened was Marlena finally got her memory back. I say finally because this story was just boring. Alex North convinced her that not only was he her husband, but that they should remarry. I wanted to punch Marlena's lights out. I know she didn't know the difference and he was drugging her, but she said so many contradictory things. Plus, every week or so she'd remember, and then quickly forget.
Hang on John!
Luckily John stuck by her, even tried to kill Alex at their wedding because he knew he was no good. They didn't work and because he's an ISA agent and friends with every cop on the Salem PD, he didn't get arrested. In fact, when Marlena and Alex went on their honeymoon to Morgan Island, he followed. He had a plan this time though, he shot her up with some drug that counteracted Alex's drug, so she remembered, sorta. When she finally remembered everything John took her away, only about fifty feet though and Alex found them. There was a short scuffle (about two weeks in real time) and Alex eventually went off the cliff. John and Marlena were reunited. Unfortunately, when they got back to Salem, Marlena started to remember what caused her amnesia in the first place. She fell down the step and lost the baby she was carrying that was Roman's. Yes, I know, she's ancient. I don't know how she's able to procreate, but I guess in soap time she's only about forty, so that's not unrealistic. Now this new memory is threatening to tear them apart again. Let's hope not.
Hook it up girlfriend!
Speaking of being torn apart and hope, poor Bo and Hope. I used to love these two together but they just bug me now. Since Bo's long lost daughter with Billie, Chelsea, ran over Bo and Hope's son Zach and killed him, things haven't been too good. Hope was so distraught she went to Morgan Island to relax and guess who's there? Hot ass Patrick. Come to find out (after months) he used to live there with his long lost love who was killed, he thought because of her involvement with bad people. Turns out she was killed because she was involved with bad people. So he lost the guilt, and the experience brought him and Hope closer together. The whole time he was telling her to go back to Bo, but of course she's still pissed that he sided with Chelsea and lied to her. She and Patrick even saw a dramatic rescue on TV of Chelsea from a sewer where she fell into and got trapped. She saw Bo still not mad at Chelsea and got all pissed again. She threw her wedding ring into the sea. I woulda hawked that shite for some money, it was huge. Because she was trying to forget about Bo she and Patrick did the nasty. Whew, I got a hot flash just thinking about it. She felt bad afterwards, but didn't regret it. She's no dummy.
Meanwhile, Bo's in Salem trying to control his whore daughter. She's ridiculous. One minute she's grinding on Max (who happens to be her adoptive uncle, ewe) and the next she's trying to dirty dance we some strangers in a bar. Anyway, she gets trapped underground and nearly dies, and decides to change her ways. She thinks it's Karma since she changed an e-mail Bo sent to Hope to make it sound like he didn't want to be with her. How this dumb girl is so computer savvy is beyond me. Bo then thinks Patrick is some guy the police are looking for to question about a murder. He finally decides to call Hope and realizes Patrick's there, and that Hope did the horizontal mambo with him. He admits that he did it with Billie too. Eventually he decides to go down there, right around the time John does.
Hope doubts Patrick's goodness when it looks like he's working for Alex when in reality the local police, who know Patrick from before, asked him to help them capture Alex. As she kisses Patrick, Bo walks in and tries to beat Patrick up, which further infuriates Hope. They all eventually get back to Salem and it looks like Bo and Hope may hook back up, but of course Chelsea has to ruin it. Bo writes Hope a sweet e-mail about how much he love her, but Chelsea gets there first and changes it. To add insult to injury, Chelsea's trial's been pushed up. Salem has some messed up rules. John can be a sniper and almost take Alex out, but Chelsea accidentally runs over her brother and they're threatening her with twenty years in prison. Not that she's all innocent or anything, but still. When the trail begins it was a shoe in that she would do jail time. Luckily, she has Grandma Kate on her side. Some greedy lady cop figured out that Kate would do anything and bribed her. Kate gave her money and in exchange the chick gave her the disk that showed Chelsea driving, on her phone, which of course is illegal and caused the accident. When the evidence turned up missing, fingers point to Bo who was the last person logged in in the evidence room. This pissed Hope off royally. Way to give him the benefit of the doubt. Because this evidence wasn't available, Frankie, Chelsea's lawyer, wanted the case dismissed. The judge wouldn't do that, but he would render a verdict without hearing from anyone except Bo and Hope. He found her guilty, but only sentenced her to community service. Hope and Shawn were outraged, especially at Bo who they thought tampered with evidence.
Speaking of Shawn. Thank the Lords of Kobol, he and Mimi got married. Almost didn't happen though because Belle became a raging BITCH. She decided that she wanted Shawn back and would do whatever she had to to break them up. Mimi was freaking out because she found out that Claire's Shawn's daughter, not Phillip's. Her mother and Kate decided to help things along and make sure Mimi and Shawn got married. They tried to lay the guilt trip on Belle, so she wouldn't want to hurt Phillip. And then Caroline found a drunk Belle at the pub and she confided in her her plans to break it up. Caroline pointed out that Shawn may not even want her anymore, and how horrible it'd be if that were the case and she not only lost Shawn, but Mimi and Phillip too. She then had a conversation with Shawn that pretty much said just that, that he wanted to be with Mimi. Mimi overheard it too. With all of these other influences, Belle didn't stop the wedding and they got married. Within a few hours they were at the Horton cabin, having married sex. Belle, knowing her dad may kill Alex at her mother's wedding, ran up to the cabin to get Shawn, walking in on them doing it. It was gross. Mimi had to tell Belle to basically butt out of their lives, because they were married now. Belle eventually realized what an ass she was being and recommitted herself to being with Phillip and all was happy. I really enjoy the old non-selfish Belle. During their honeymoon to freakin' Green Mountain Lodge, Phillip and Belle showed up and hung out with Shawn and Mimi. Romantic. Shawn met a waitress who overheard them talking about Mimi not being able to conceive. She told them that she was in the same situation and she tried invitro, which worked and she had a baby. This got them all excited and they decided to try it. They spent the last month or so being way too excited about it, painting the "baby's" room and what not. She was implanted with the embryo last week and they talked incessantly about how great it was that she was "pregnant". Unfortunately, while Shawn was at Chelsea's trial, Mimi lost the "baby". She thinks it's Karma because she's been lying about Shawn being Claire's real father. She should just tell him and say she just found out. Then she won't get in trouble for lying to him and he'll know without her being guilty and nearly spitting it out a zillion times.
I know this is crazy to say, but I'm glad Carrie and Austin aren't together, they annoy the crap out of me. I think Carrie and Lucas together is just nasty though. And we found out awhile back that not only are Carrie and Lucas engaged, but she's pregnant. Ewe. Because Carrie's no longer on the market, Austin decided to settle for Sami. Sami realized this and gave probably the best speech this actress has ever done. She was awesome and believable and basically told him that she was tired of playing this little game and that he should just move on, so she could move on. This inspired him to propose to her, so he did and she said yes, much to Kate's chagrin. I can't wait for her to get what's coming to her. Kate I mean, I'm sorta liking Sami. Everyone was pretty happy with the situation until EJ Wells showed up. EJ's some mysterious English bloke who moved in across the hall from Sami and Austin. He's hot, and Carrie and Sami have noticed. Hard not to notice he's been shirtless nearly every episode. Hey, I'm not complaining though.
Ah, yeah.
I have no idea what his deal is but he's taking a liking to Sami, which I love. She needs some good lovin'. Actually she needs to be with Lucas, but that's not going to happen, at least for awhile. EJ does have some ulterior motive, mostly I think some engine Shawn designed for Max's race car. Austin and Company, which is now just Austin and Sami since Nicole left the show, wants to market the engine. Austin even pitched the idea to Shawn, who basically already had a deal with Titan and Lucas. Shawn doesn't want anything to do with Sami though, ever since she posed as Stan. They are a bit hard on her for that, she fought to get Tony to release them all and didn't do any of the stuff that could have endangered their lives. Anyway, since Kate's figured out that Sami has a thing for EJ, she's been trying to get them together, even lending Basic Black's name to the proposal of having EJ, a famous international race car driver like Max, as the spokesman for Shawn's engine. He's apparently more famous then Max, so would be better to have. Shawn's not feeling it though, since his grandfather Victor has way more money and he's related, oh and he hates Sami. EJ is helping Sami out though. When Alex was alive he blackmailed her into keeping quiet about him switching Lexie's cancer tests. She thought Lexie had cancer and wanted her to get retested. She wouldn't of course because she hates Sami, but EJ encouraged her and she did, and was cleared of cancer.
Speaking of that slut Lexie, she's still doin' it with Tek. I don't blame her, but she is married to Abe. Unfortunately Abe's not really into having sex with his wife, so you can't really blame her because of that either. Sami knows about the affair and has been blackmailing Lexie to keep Austin and Carrie apart. She's had her convince Carrie that she shouldn't marry Austin because if they have children it'll be retarded or something. Something genetic. Hello! They were married before! Carrie's dumb enough to believe it and since she would rather have healthy children then be married to the man she loves, she chose to be with Lucas since she likes him a lot. Dumb!
The best storyline recently is with Jack. Well, not just with Jack. Jack's been presumed dead for awhile now. Long enough for Frankie to move in on Jen and for them to get engaged, which is what Jack wanted. They're happy, she's ready to move on without Jack. Little does she know Jack's alive in some hospital we have no idea how he got to. A doctor there thinks he has a cure, further solidifying what a horrible doctor Lexie is. He tried the cure but I fast forwarded it through. I don't think it worked. Anyway, while Jack was delirious, he thought he saw his brother Steve "Patch" Johnson who he believed died when Lawrence Alamain blew up a boat he was on. As the audience we thought he may be alive because the casket he was in was switched with an empty one at his funeral. This was in the early 90's. Anyway, this guy who looks just like Steve is an orderly at the hospital Jack's in. Unfortunately, he doesn't think he's Steve. Most likely he was brainwashed into thinking he's someone else. Jack wants to prove he's his brother and wants him to call his wife, Kayla. Jack, aka "Nick", isn't running from the room, but he's not believing Jack's story either. I don't know why Jack doesn't just tell him that he has a tattoo on his back of a dagger, just like the one Bo has. Damn, this takes me back. I first started watching Days a long long time ago and the first thing I can remember is when Bo and Steve got into a fight and Bo poked Steve's eye out. Ah, those were the days of feathered hair and mullets.
Meanwhile, as Jen and Frankie prepare of their wedding, Caroline calls Kayla to ask her to come home for the wedding and to help Bo. Kayla doesn't want to come back because everything reminds her of Steve. Jen talks her into coming and she's making her way there.
Coming up, Abe discovers Lexie and Tek doing the deed...Jack and Steve go back to Salem... and Mimi and Shawn decide to look into surrogacy. (I wonder who's going to be the surrogate?)
