Things look good!

[wendylou]

Okay now that actually looks good. I posted in another thread about Clyde's return. The three guys coming back is a great idea - even though I don't know one of them.

[tapdancer]

Yeah, I don't know who that third guy is. I didn't like Clyde, but he was interesting. I can't wait to see him confront Kate! I'd imagine he'd go after Chad, too, because he blames him (and Abby) for what happened to Ben. I'm definitely not surprised to see Xander go after Theresa; I knew it would happen eventually. Her pretending he tried to rape her so Brady would come to her rescue was disgusting. I'm looking forward to all of this!

[hibiscus]

I assume Orpheus is the one you don't know - for me, I had to do research to find out the full back stories for Clyde and Xander because I was not watching it when they were on. Orpheus was the villain when I watched in 1987. It's so rare to bring him back and it's what I hoped for. You can look for 1986-87 clips or read about him.

I was unaware that Theresa lied about Xander raping her and he got sent to prison. That explains why he threatens her in the promo.

The promo in general made me feel better about the upcoming stories. They will get the baby back and not drag it out much longer. I am just surprised at having no hint of the real kidnapper yet and seeing Victor behind bars when I am positive he is not involved.

I am super excited about Orpheus! He is my favorite villain ever!

This all looks pretty good. Quite frankly it looks much better than what we got on air today.

[fluffysmom]

This looks exciting!

Wow this is great and I love how they call it a new season. Maybe we will see some of the changes we've been hoping for. I vaguely remember Orpheus, just from seeing him, but not from any story.

I was right about Philip pretending he's Chloe's babydaddy. This is a redo of the EJ/Nicole/Rafe story arc, which was really poorly done. I hope this is done better.

Looks like Aiden is still around so I'm still on strike
There is nothing interesting about his story absolutely NOTHING
It's just infuriating that I am expected to still watch stories about him and he's loser son!
Also I have no interest in Xander or Clyde they were lame the first time around there is nothing to redeem

[tapdancer]

Xander and Clyde aren't back for redemption; they're coming for revenge. Maybe Clyde will kill Aiden! After all, Aiden sent him to prison. I'd be interested in seeing that.

[fluffysmom]

I like the idea of these villains returning short term to seek revenge. I felt like Xander and Clyde left a lot of loose ends with their sudden departures.

I vaguely remember Orpheus but I don't recall his storyline.

[tinab]

Clyde was a great villain - excited for his return !!

[wendylou]

I don't want Clyde to get revenge but I would like Victor and/or Stefano (or I guess Andre or Chad in his absence) to get revenge on him. I've never liked the idea that Clyde got away with hurting Sonny and essentially had EJ killed and two of Days' favorite villains never really got him back for either of those things.

To me it would be great to see Victor, who's spent essentially the last year or longer as a weakened shell of what he once was, to find some way to get Clyde back and with it, get some sense of his own power back.

I love this guy!

Clyde and the X-Man are wide eyed understudies on a weekend pass to DisneyWorld compared to Orpheus!

I can't believe they tainted Orpheus by associating him with these two loser ZERO's.

Need Jay to come back as Philip and replace JPL, the pretender Philip!
