1. Nicole reacted to the news by taking baby Jude from Eric's arms, no questions asked. Was her reaction underwhelming or did it make sense to you?
Christine: This was the big scene, and it kind of fell flat. There should have been confusion and denial. Nicole should have resisted, not wanting to get her heart broken by another lie. Instead, she just immediately grabbed the baby.
Maybe they're going with Nicole has always known the baby was hers, and that's why her reaction was so immediate, but for the viewer, this lacked drama.
2. Was there anything genuine in Sloan's tears and claims of fear of losing Eric and grief over the loss of her own baby as she confessed to kidnapping Nicole's child and passing him off as their adopted baby?
Christine: Again, this felt sort of anticlimactic. Sloan was upset, but it felt like she should feel more desperate than she came across.
3. Eric still doesn't know he's Jude's father. How do you think he will find out?
Christine: This could be a while. I think they're going to want to make Eric suffer for a while. I'm curious to see if he eventually figures it out or if someone tells him.
I'm not looking forward to Eric finding out because it likely means the end of EJ and Nicole, and I like them a lot as a couple.
4. Everett/Bobby appears to have DID. Do you think this story is better, worse, or the same as when Abigail had DID?
Christine: This is much better than the Abigail debacle. At least they are laying the groundwork for some serious childhood trauma having been the root cause of Everett's DID.
Personally, I think that so far, the writing on this DID story has been much better, and the actor is doing a great job of making it believable.
5. Speaking of Abigail, why do you think that Chad keeps mentioning her diary?
Christine: I just don't think they know what to do with Chad except have him tied to Abigail. I know a lot of people would like to see the character return, but I can't say I really care.
6. What disappointed or aggravated you the most on this week's Days of Our Lives?
Christine: I wish we could get rid of Konstantin already. And Theresa/Alex/Kristen is just a bore until the reveal of Victor's true heir happens.
And Johnny keeping the job offer from Chanel was disappointing. Even if he has no intentions of leaving Salem, he should be talking to her about it.
7. What was your favorite scene, story, or quote from this week's Days of Our Lives?
Christine: Getting to see Bill Hayes one more time onscreen!
-The realization that Everett/Bobby are the same person and why was satisfying, even if I did suspect DID was the answer.
-Johnny and Chanel talking through the issues of moving forward with this pregnancy.
-The teen storyline is finally starting to grow on me.
