I hope PAllison was watching Monday's show because there was a lot of spoof-worthy moments.
Chloe's drunken act was perfect. She was very convincing. LOL at her saying "Of all the gin joints..." from Casablanca when Daniel walked out of the Cheatn Heart. And I loved how she told Daniel that Parker is "with his father being very well cared for." Nice dig Chloe! I also enjoyed Melanie reminding Chloe why she and Philip aren't "all that close anymore."
What's the deal with Bo putting his leg over a chair cowboy-style at the pub? So Bo thinks that Dimera and Kiriakis goons are amateurs compared to the Salem PD? I'd like to see the stats on who's caught more bad guys.
Did you see Hope wiping away fake tears? I think she could have done better.
Lexie was a little manic today, but it was understandable.
Line of the day is a tie between:
1) Creepy caretaker guy who told Rafe1 that he would get to spray paint macaroni.
2) Kate who told Stefano and Victor to stop comparing the size of their phones.
What did you all think of Monday's episode?

What did you all think of Monday's episode? I thought it was hilarious that the DiMera and Kiriakis guys are "amateurs"! They are probably trained asassins. The Salem PD rarely seems to catch a bad guy. Melanie and Dario are gonna catch the hit and runner driver before the PD does. The assylum guy was pretty creepy all right. I liked Chloe's scenes but someone was missing! Like maybe Philip!?! She did have some great lines though. |

I agree, I can't believe that they're phasing Philip out this way.  I liked Chloe's scenes, she's pretty convincing. I didn't like that Daniel referred to her as "playing Nicole". Ouch! I also thought the asylum guy was very creepy and disturbing. Ick! I'm glad Rafe is planning his escape. Loved Kate and the phone comparisons. Loved Lexie telling her dad off and Stefano telling her to stop being a snot. Such a dad/daughter moment, LOL. And, I tuned Melanie/Dario out. Sorry, I just can't get into Dario at all. |

There was a lot of fantastic dialogue Monday. Kate's phone line was classic. Stefano and Victor were in rare form and I loved it. Those two are so funny.
Can't believe there was no Philip. :'-(

I think the creepy asylum guy should get more airtime, Lexi should get less and Abe needs to do something besides run around after Lexi. Hope needs a real storyline outside of Ciara and Bo and Bo needs to get a grip...if the Salem PD was so great they would have put EJ behind bars long ago.
I find myself FFing through Chloe's scenes; I just can't watch Chloe self destruct jkjpatch. I can't do it anymore. There is more to this girl than booze, babies and boobs.
Stefano and Victor are the highlight of the day

Oh. I just rememebred. I laughed when Abe rushed off from the hospital to get with the PD to find his missing son, only to be in the Pub sipping coffee in the next scene. Jeez! At least TRY for some continuity here folks.

^^ DD, if Titan's headquarters is now at the Java Cafe, maybe the Salem PD is now based at the Brady Pub.
ATD, I know what you mean about Chloe. It's heartbreaking that the reason she was drinking is because she has decided that Philip doesn't trust her. She made the comment "Everyone thinks I'm an unfit mother. Everyone." If Child Protective Services doubts her competency as a responsible parent, the Chloe I remember would be working to prove them WRONG, not prove them right.

At least TRY for some continuity here folks. I agree. Bo and Abe were sitting around drinking coffee with Roman. Maybe the only purpose of this story was to give Roman and Abe a few scenes. I doubt if TPTB would actually kill 2 of Bo and Hope's kids. Just think what a hell raiser Ciara will be as a teen. |

It's just not believeable that every scene between her and Philip shows him full of trust...not just in his words, but his deeds. I am not buying what they are selling.

I thought Monday's episode was really good, honestly!
I know a lot of you guys are very invested in Philip, so you're disappointed in what we're NOT seeing -- and I can't blame you for that -- but I thought what we had onscreen Monday was largely very good. Bo and Hope working through how to deal with a crisis as a couple rather than battling over it... Lexie's worry over Theo being spotlighted (and Kate looking out for her)... Stefano and Victor squaring off... Stefano trying to blame Bope & Ciara for dragging Theo into this... Daniel trying to get through to Chloe (I thought Shawn Christian did a nice job portraying his simultaneous disgust for Chloe and the feelings that linger for a relationship that was based on lies)... even the Fafe/Gabi/Will/Dario stuff was good. If we're going to have new characters like Dario, I want to see them working through their family dynamics with people we know before they're spun off into their own stories.
I loved Kate's line about "They're whipping them out to see who has the bigger phone." The asylum stuff was sort of boring to me, though I guess it's setting something up, and it didn't eat too much of the episode, so whatever.
Plus, no EJ or Taylor!!

She made the comment "Everyone thinks I'm an unfit mother. Everyone." If Child Protective Services doubts her competency as a responsible parent, the Chloe I remember would be working to prove them WRONG, not prove them right. I actually think this behavior is consistent with who Chloe has become. Teen Chloe for sure would've fought back, but adult Chloe has done this over and over. When things got tough with Brady, she didn't try and find him -- she came back to Salem and pretended their marriage just sort of petered out. When her relationship with Lucas started to show cracks, she didn't work on it; she threw herself into her lust with Daniel. When she thought Daniel might be cheating, she slept with Philip instead of dealing with the perceived problems in her relationship. That's not to say she should be doing this over and over, but it's consistent with what the current vision of Chloe seems to be, IMO. |

I enjoyed Monday's episode. I wanted to hit Stefano for his remarks about Ciara. Dirty old bat. But it is true to his character. I loved the bit about whipping out their phones. That was funny!

I think the dialogue writers do a better job than the headwriter/s. They have been giving us some great lines considering some of the storylines they are forced to work with. Keep up the Stefano and Victor interactions. Only 2 more episodes of this version of Taylor. According to SOD her last air date is April 21. Tamara's Taylor starts airing on April 26.

I begrudgingly give you that mikey. It's just that it's not a good week for us Philip lovers.  I love Kate and was glad to see her getting screen time. Love the vets. I hate that Lexi is totally DiMera now, like they aren't the mob family they are. OF course she has never been a faavorite, although I had hopes for her after they found her in the tunnel |
