    PDA Show!

    Thursday, April 05 2012
    Carrie kisses Austin in front of Rafe, Lexi gets tests, and Melanie is upset by a comment.


    In the cafe, Gabi shows Abigail that people online think she and Chad are a cute couple. Abigail reminds her that Chad is with Melanie. They come in and Abigail goes to greet them. They rejoin Gabi, and Abigail talks about how much she regrets lying about Austin. Mel reassures her. Gabi watches Melanie and Chad as they play checkers. Gabi announces that there is something about Melanie online. Melanie looks and says, "Oh no." It says she's a gold-digger and a slut. Mel takes off. Chad brings her back and she laments that her past always comes back to haunt her. Chad says he wasn't a saint either - they've both changed. He lists her attributes that he loves. They kiss. Gabi watches. Melanie goes over and asks to use Gabi's laptop to hack in and delete the post. Chad is impressed. When they go back to canoodling, Gabi goes online to post another comment about Melanie - her login shows she posted the original.



    In Daniel's office, Nicole and Rafe tell him EJ knows she's pregnant, and they've decided that Rafe is the father. Daniel asks if EJ believed them. Nicole says he wants a paternity test, but there's no way she's letting EJ near her baby. Daniel questions if Rafe is prepared to let everyone believe this. Rafe sees no alternative. Nicole also wants him to be sure. Rafe says EJ screwed up his life - he looks forward to repaying the favor. Daniel leaves for a consult, telling Nicole to call if she needs anything. Rafe and Nicole discuss their next move. Rafe thinks Daniel should fix the paternity test, but Nicole doesn't want him to get in trouble - they'll have to do it on their own.



    At the pub, Austin and Carrie talk about how much stuff they've accumulated - he thinks they should look for a house. Austin raises the issue of kids. Carrie says they need to take things slow and rebuild their relationship before going there. Austin acknowledges that, and they start talking about renting. He shows Carrie a property - she loves it. He goes back to talking about kids, saying babies change everything. Rafe enters with Nicole. Carrie nods, "Babies do change everything." Austin steps away to take a call. Nicole asks Rafe if he wants to leave because of Carrie. He says he's fine. He goes over to Carrie, who says she and Austin are working things out. Rafe says he's happy for them, and returns to Nicole. He tells her Carrie told him they were a mistake - she always loved Austin. Nicole says she's sorry. Austin rejoins Carrie and notices her looking at Rafe. She reassures him and makes a display of kissing him. Abigail passes by and sees them. She turns to leave and bumps into a young man who gets angry. Inside, Carrie tells Austin she wants to be with him - it's been a long time. They head out the back door. Nicole smirks about the PDA show.



    Marlena finds Will in the square. She encourages him to talk. He tells her he's tired of fighting what's true - he's gay. Marlena embraces him. He apologizes for being so difficult before. Marlena is just glad he's able to admit his true feelings. Will says he feels relieved, like a huge weight has lifted from his shoulders, but he's still worried about his future a bit. Marlena says being gay doesn't mean he has to give up on his dreams. She asks if he's interested in anyone. He isn't ready to date yet, but says Sonny will be a good support for him. Will is concerned that Gabi might be upset. Marlena thinks she'll understand. Marlena asks about telling his parents. He admits he's worried. Marlena reminds him they love him. Will thanks her. She says he'll be happy.



    At home, Lexi's mother tells her and Abe that she came because the tarot cards show that Lexi's life is in danger. Lexi says she's had some headaches, but there's nothing to worry about. Her mother says she's wrong. Abe gets angry, but Lexi's mother begs her to get checked out tonight or she could die! Abe agrees she should do it. Lexi says she'll humor them.



    Abe, Lexi, and her mother meet with Daniel at the hospital for the tests. Lexi goes with Daniel for the tests, and then returns to tell her mother she's glad she came. Her mother says she has to come clean about a secret she's kept for years. Just then, Daniel returns with the test results - it's not good news.


    Sneak peek!

    John, having shaken off Stefano's hypnotic trance, tries to help Hope do the same.

    Kate, jealous and hurt, seeks Ian out. She unloads her suspicions about Stefano on him and they kiss.

    Lexi has an inoperable brain tumor.

    Hello to everyone!!

    1. I don't think i could be more annoyed with Carrie if i tried!! Now i know i don't like her so i am already pre-disposed to being irritated with her but really she has been BEYOND frustrating to me since she returned!!!!! I do not at all believe that she loves Rafe, she just loves what someone else has!! She never ever seems to be happy with what she has! Supposedly she loved Austin so much through the years that she had to fight for him, and wanted to be with him even if it meant that he couldn't be there for his "son" when they thought Will was his. Now that she has Austin she decides that she isn't really all that interested in him and that the grass in greener in other pastures so she latches her horrible, self-centred little self onto Rafe. Blows up at Austin for "cheating" even though she had already cheated herself and admitted that she had feelings for another man. She was so ready to use Abby and Austin sleeping together as an excuse to get herself out of her marriage and still delude herself into thinking that she is such a good girl, and now that has been ruined! Then she throws a little sooky because she found out that Rafe is the "daddy" of Nicole's baby!! Then she will settle for Austin because of course her little self-proclaimed princess self couldn't be alone, but as soon as the truth of Nicole's baby's paternity comes out she will dump Austin again to have a shot at Rafe!! What an absolutely beyond annoying, frustrating, irritating character!!

    2. And what on earth is up with Rafe?! Does he want to be named Salem's stupidist person?! Why on earth would he repeat history by keeping EJ's child from him?! Has he already forgotten how that turned out last time?! Poor little Sydney still seems to be scarred from the whole parent swapping debacle!! And i am hoping that Nicole gets a taste of her own medicine and Sami and EJ take her baby from her! Surely she would have ZERO problem with Sami stealing her baby to give it to EJ for him to raise, since Nicole thinks that EJ is entitled to raise his kids even if it means the mommy's can't! Oh no that's right little miss hypocrite would be all up in arms and throwing a fit if they took her baby off her because she's the child's mother! Too bad she didn't feel that way when it was Sami and Sydney!! I hope that Nicole and Rafe's plan totally backfires on them!! They really may belong together since they both appear to be super-duper stupid!!

    3. I do not at all care if the writers are repeating the EJ and Sami living as neighbours again, what a TOTALLY AWESOME way for these two to have a fresh start! I don't want to see them jump back into a relationship, but to see them grow as co-parents, and then as friends, and then if Sami were there to support EJ when he finds out about stupid Nicole's lies, and EJ could support Sami through finding out Will is gay, and then before they know it they are acknowledging their true feelings and falling in love and become the beautiful family that they are!! I see ZERO reason to re-explore Sami and Lucas as a couple, they are so completely wonderful as friends, i just love that chemistry between them, but as partners there is just nothing there before, Lucas ruined it by treating Sami so badly. As i was saying to my girl Patti-Ray the other day when Lucas and Sami were together Lucas treats her like dirt, but when EJ and Sami are together they actually treat each other really well, it is only when they are apart that they engage in their schemes of revenge!!

    4. I have to say i don't really care about the Melanie/Chad/Gabi thing! It's not that i really dislike any of the characters, it's just that for me Melanie and Chad have not been together long enough for me to care about someone trying to break them up, and Gabi has gone from the world's most boring character to a little lying, scheming, manipulating minx all of a sudden with no build up! She used to just hang around Will as a tag on to Rafe and Sami's stories then all of a sudden she decided she was desperately in love with Chad and was going to do whatever it took to get him. Huh?! How did that suddenly come about?! I guess the Hernandez family aren't as upstanding as they try to make themselves out to be! They are quite the family of liars! Plotting to get what they want no matter what the consequences to other people!!

    5. I'm not really sure about this story with Lexie. Now i am super glad that she got over herself pretty quickly and forgave Abe, because after all the horrible, twisted things he's forgiven her for she would have looked like a really nasty little lady to not forgive him for one minor little thing! I haven't watched yet but i think i am going to find it strange to see someone else playing Celeste! I was never a huge fan of the character but i do think the previous actress did a great job of portraying this weird character!! Also i am not really sure what the point of having Celeste return is, okay i get she's there to support Lexie, Abe and Theo, but i hope the writers have more in mind for her than that!! I get so frustrated when the writers bring back a character for a one off story and then once that storyline is resolved they sort of leave the character lingering and hovering at the edges of things, or try to shove them into a story where they just don't fit! So hoping that if Celeste is here to stay then the writers have a well thought out plan for what they are going to do with her!!

    6. I was chatting with my girly makesmehappy the other day and she was telling me that there was someone else who was enjoying the John/Hope story, that made me happy because i was totally feeling like i was all alone in enjoying this story because whenever i come on here and read comments there are SO many negative ones about this storyline!! I think it is going to be hilarious if John gets his memory back and knows who he and Hope actually are but Hope does not! I just adore Princess Gina so i am happy for Hope to either think she's Gina or pretend she's Gina for as long as possible! I am guessing that once she gets back to Salem and sees poor almost forgotten about Bo she will snap back to herself! I don't really care about the egg, but i am interested to see just why it is so important to Stefano!! Anyway even though hardly anyone else is i am totally on board with this storyline, and i just do not care that it is a repeated one, for me it still has lots of good possibilities to go somewhere!!

    Well that's all for me!!

    A special hi to makesmehappy!!

    And lots of (¯`v´¯)
 to all my girlies!!

    Hahahahaha . . . i absolutely ADORED the look on Daniel's face and his reaction when the stupid's (Nicole and Rafe) told him about their kooky scheme!!!!!

    Carrie is being so cruel to Austin! He looks and sounds so happy to be thinking that they are back together! Carrie knows she's only with him because she thinks she cannot have Rafe! What a horrible lady she is!!

    And i am not feeling the new Celeste at all!!

    Well I am officially and totally frustrated with the writers at Day's. First who does Carrie think she is? What makes her better than Sami? At least Sami doesn't pretend to be all innocent and pure.Carrie is all self-righteous. She wants Austin no wait she suddenly is in love with Rafe. And whats up with Rafe. He was madly in love with Sam,i until he set eyes on Carrie. The writers are not being true to the character of Rafe.He would not flip his feelings like that. I am tired of everyone judging Sami when Carrie isn't any better. She was married to Austin and fell for Mike than came back and loved Austin again, they move away and as soon as she comes back she is in love with her sisters husband. I am sick of this whole story line. Put Rafe and Sami back together and send Carrie and Austin Back to Switzerland.

    Gigi1967 - absolutely LOVED your comments!! Except for putting Rafe and Sami back together i TOTALLY agreed with everything you said!!

    I don't do this often but here goes.....WHAT A STUPID SHOW!!! They bring all the "old characters" back and they don't even know them! I never did like Carrie anyway, as I don't like self righteous bi+ches! She seems to be the only one that is justified moving in on her sisters husband BEFORE it is officially over! And why in the world would you bring Marlena and John back in the first place? And then have them go back 25 years! Kayla....where the heck is she? Jennifer and Jack? Does anyone even care? Daniel and Kate's crew...(or should that be Kate AND her crew) sick in my book...Why would you waste a character (and great actor) like that? I did think he and Jennifer were headed someplace, Jack was a blast from the past, but then here comes Jack....they are bringing all these characters back with no story lines..it sucks!
    Bo and Hope could keep the show moving along if someone would just look at what their life was like when they were into adventure! This is just dumb... enough for today.

    Today we have early in the morning our daily update, that is truly exciting. I read where the writers are changing and for the life of me I cannot figure out what the heck NBC is thinking when they prevent them from doing their job as one of the writers tweeted. I think we all agree that we were excited to get new writers in the fall of last year and was promised romance and excitement and we have gotten a little of that but I think there has been disappointment. Shame on a network if that is the case for preventing someone from doing their job. Let’s just hope the new writers will stand firm and deliver for us all without too many reruns. Right now there is just so much potential to keep this show going especially with the actorsactress’ they have if they have storylines written that will utilize every ounce of their expertise.

    Glad Will is finally out and this S/L can move along. It sounds as if EJ is going to be sending him off for a bit of time so have to wonder what that is all about. For me, especially in today’s times this was drug out just a bit too long.

    Carrie, oh my I think most of us are in agreement about her. She could be a loose cannon. How fickle can a person be, although it seems to be in the water in Salem. I have to wonder if all the women want what the others have.

    IMO we have back tracked so much in the last couple of months and characters are being written way out of character such as Rafe. Like someone posted he was so in love with Sami and willing to accept her flaws and IMO did not seem to be falling for Carrie like she was with him but lo and behold, overnight he fell in love with her too. Then in a matter of 24 hours or less, he is out of love with Sami and Carrie and hooking up with Nicole. Not that I mind him with Nicole cause they are so cute together, I just feel the baby story is too far fetched and again a repeat. Especially when they stressed how she would absolutely never be able to carry a baby. I know miracles happen but this.

    I don’t really mind the Princess Gina and Pawn storyline as long as they wrap it up pretty quickly and then move on to what could have possibly been in Stefano’s envelope. I am guessing the writers are more confused than we are when new ones keep coming in and cleaning up.

    I guess we will have to wait and see and hope for some exciting days ahead, still not giving up. I will be gone after 2:30 today and will return on Monday to catch up with my posting friends. Happy Easter everyone and May God Bless each and every one of you.

    Have a fantabulous day

    Love the long post Littlbear. You are bringing the show to life for me -THANK YOU tons of
    (¯`v´¯)

    set your way for this!! Daniel didn't approve -he wasn't totalling in on their lovely scheme?! I thought for sure they would forget that he was lied to for nearly nine months plus about paternity.

    bearigin the change in character didn't happen just overnight for him alone, which is just what -right after the shooting - the bs meter came out about I love you for who you are -don't change - you bring excitement to my humdrum life, when before he was expecting some solid upstanding citizen just like his royal highness himself. So many times when they change writers they characters loose qualities or things get added to them that come out of left field.

    I hate that we are getting writers that happened to have been in the Dena area. Tomlin may have been executive producer at the time but even Dena at times her writing whipped lashed us around due to NBC or Corday's interference.

    Will is finally officially coming out! It is about time I can't wait for him to tell everyone.

    DOOLs is only about misconception. This person arrives at the perfect time to see or hear statements that alters decisions. The hospital has no security whatsoever. EJ is walking around like a common citizen and not a mayor. Everything is just jumbled and he-hased. I hate to sound like I'm dissing the show, I'm just in disbelief of the storylines. Yes, it's a soap, but so are all the other shows on tv as well are fictional. I just hate to see this show that has the potential to be entertaining going backwards and not toward the days of Tom and Alice either. Can you imagine what Tom Horton would think about all this mind control, people coming back from the dead and his hospital being so lacking in security. Wow.
