Days of Our Lives Round Table: Bo is Back!

Bo is again from the useless, however Kate’s the one Salemite who is aware of it. And Bo’s about to shoot her!

Our TV Fanatics, Jack and Christine, are joined by Horizon from MyHourglass, a Days of Our Lives fan discussion board, to debate why Bo is not fairly himself, if Hope is hiding one thing, Gwen’s tryst, Maggie’s selection, and rather more!

Do you suppose Sami may forgive Lucas and provides this fan-favorite pairing one other likelihood? Learn on to see what our spherical desk thinks…

Kate discovered Bo Brady, however he is not fairly himself. Are you content to have him again, and what do you suppose Megan did to him?

Horizon: I’m not overly conversant in Bo, so it’s laborious for me to conjecture about him. His “cold-cocked” remark about what Kate did to Megan was oddly humorous, however I suppose Megan has scrambled his mind up a bit to be loyal to her.

Jack: I am glad to see Bo, although I hope this Dimera goon section is over shortly. For some motive, I am not practically as irritated by this as when Steve thought he was Stefano.

Megan both had Rolf brainwash Bo, or no matter resurrection drug she used got here with a facet impact of her with the ability to m that they have been in love.

Christine: I am thrilled to have Bo again on Days! He was at all times one in every of my favourite characters.

Provided that Bo first wakened asking for Hope, I am guessing that Megan had Rolf brainwash Bo to “love” her the identical approach Li and Kristen did to Stefan. However, like Jack, I am hoping this section would not final too lengthy.

John and Steve discovered Hope in Megan’s previous lair. Are you content to have her again? And do you suppose there’s extra to her story than what she’s advised John and Steve?

Horizon: Combined emotions. I hoped they’d carry again Hope after Ciara had her child so she might play the doting grandmother. So, whereas it’s good to see her once more underneath the present evasive circumstances, it’s extra irritating than the rest.

The bearings all really feel improper. It certain did appear to be she was hiding one thing from John and Steve,

Jack: There needs to be extra to Hope’s story than what she advised them! Amongst different issues, she claimed to be on the lookout for Megan however was alone in a locked room. That does not add up!

I hope she hasn’t been was Princess Gina once more. I at all times favored Hope, however her previous couple of tales weren’t so nice, and I hope she’s been restored to her authentic character.

Christine: Regardless of how poorly Hope had been written her previous couple of years in Salem, I do have excessive hopes for her return.

And it did really feel as if she wasn’t sharing every thing with Steve and John, which is uncommon as a result of, underneath regular circumstances, she would belief them implicitly.

Maggie employed Xander as her right-hand man at Titan as an alternative of Alex. Was this the precise resolution?

Horizon: Most likely not, however I do admire that Maggie has a gentle spot for Xander. And vice versa.

Jack: I am thrilled she removed Alex, who deserved to be fired. I am undecided Xander is the precise selection, both. If Victor was frightened concerning the firm’s status due to Alex’s conduct, then hiring a kidnapper whose actions led to the loss of life of an harmless girl will not precisely assist issues.

Christine: I’ve at all times liked the connection between Xander and Maggie, and he’s extremely loyal to Maggie. Plus, Xander did not do a foul job as CEO, so if she will be able to preserve Xander in line and out of the highlight, then this could possibly be an excellent transfer.

Xander was upset that Gwen slept with Alex after he broke up together with her. Did he have the precise to be?

Horizon: I imagine Xander genuinely cares about Gwen, and he fears that the predatory Alex is not any good for what ails her, and I could not agree extra.

Jack: No! He is proper that Alex is simply utilizing Gwen, but it surely’s not his enterprise. He broke up together with her and might’t have it each methods. Why does everybody in Salem suppose they’ve the precise to inform their exes who to maneuver on or not transfer on with?

Christine: The one optimistic about Alex is that he is trustworthy about what he desires. He is there for an excellent time and usually not on the lookout for a lot else.

Gwen was seeking to soothe her wounded coronary heart and ego with a one-nighter. That was her selection. As Xander broke up together with her, he is acquired no proper to guage or make Gwen really feel unhealthy about it.

Apart from, underneath related circumstances, Xander slept with a married Nicole, and Sarah jumped into mattress with Rex. So how is Gwen any totally different?

Andrew and Paul made it to Days after their look on Past Salem 2 final summer season. Would you wish to see them each transfer to Salem?

Horizon: No. I recall Paul when he first confirmed up in Salem, and for some time, he was an fascinating character. However I do not even know Andrew, so this tacked-on, seemingly gratuitous relationship would not actually curiosity me within the least.

Jack: Sure! I liked them on Past Salem 2 and am thrilled they’re again now. Plus, they’re youngsters of two legacy {couples}, so their getting again collectively would give us a second-generation energy couple.

We’d like actual romance, and Andrew might completely take over for Shane because the present’s high ISA agent. And if Andrew is on the town completely, there can be a motive for Theresa to go to sometimes.

Christine: I’ve at all times liked Paul, and I used to be excited to see Paul and Andrew meet up on Past Salem 2, so I am very completely satisfied to see them again.

Sure! I need them each again in Salem completely. They seem to be a cute, horny couple. Plus, I really like their connections to so many legacy characters, so their addition can result in some nice new tales on Days.

Lucas advised Roman that Sami is the love of his life. Is there any likelihood Sami will forgive him for kidnapping her and take him again? Would you like her to?

Horizon: Sami is much from my thoughts today, which signifies my stage of disinterest in what she may suppose down the street if she ever returns to Salem once more. I suppose she might forgive him. I’m extra bummed Allie bolted out of city since I loved her relationship together with her dad.

Jack: I hope so! Lucas and Sami have been one in every of my favourite {couples} since they first debuted, and I hated that they turned Lucas into EJ 2.0 for the sake of ruining this relationship.

Christine: If Sami have been to return, I would like her with Lucas than with EJ. She and Lucas have at all times been enjoyable collectively.

However I fear concerning the present insisting on placing Sami and EJ again collectively once more. And if that is the case, I would fairly Sami keep out of Salem.

Alex Kiriakis has finished lots of mattress hopping since he arrived in Salem. Is there anybody you’d pair him with long-term, whether or not he is already slept with them or not?

Horizon: Alex continues to confound me. I assumed Stephanie was the love of his life, but he retains bedding down girls at any time when the possibility arises.

However on the finish of the day, I nonetheless really feel Stephanie is his primary, and I form of count on them to hook again up once more.

Out of all the ladies he has slept with, although, Gwen was a horrible mistake. He would not know her and might’t conceive of her monumental emotional points. As soon as once more, Alex’s runaway sexual urge for food was on show with little consideration concerning the penalties.

Jack: Somebody off-screen in order that we are able to eliminate him.

He and Stephanie have been an terrible pairing, and his stalking her did not assist something, however possibly she has a pal in Seattle that she will be able to match him up with.

If he needs to be in Salem, possibly he can discover bisexuality with Leo. That may a minimum of be totally different and never contain bothering some poor girl all day and all evening.

Christine: I really like Alex and usually admire that he is open about simply wanting an excellent time.

I hoped to love him with Stephanie, however he got here on approach too robust, and I’ve grown to typically dislike Stephanie.

So, if Alex ever will get along with somebody for love and never simply intercourse, I would wish to see or not it’s somebody new

Possibly if they convey Claire again. Authentic, form of loopy Claire, not boring 2.0 Claire. They might make an fascinating pairing.

What dissatisfied you probably the most this week in Salem?

Horizon: Devastated that Gwen slept with Alex. Her pure response was to not sleep with him, however as soon as it entered her thoughts that she might use this escapade to injure Xander out of spite, she went by with it.

Jack: Three days of the Gwen/Leo/Xander present was an excessive amount of, particularly since Gwen is a one-note character who’s both pining after Xander or making an attempt to upset him by pretending to not need him. 

Gwen making an attempt to make him jealous by gloating about sleeping with Alex was terrible, and I additionally wasn’t a fan of Leo telling Xander he should not have been trustworthy with Gwen about how he felt.

Additionally, John was too harsh with Paul. I get that he desires Paul to be completely satisfied and pursue the person he loves, however Paul’s emotions concerning the problem of a long-distance relationship have been legitimate, and John was very dismissive of them.

Lastly, after being so robust with Megan, why did Kate have to show silly? It was apparent that Bo was mendacity about all of the rooms mechanically locking or they would not be capable to get again in Megan’s room — Kate ought to have seen by that whether or not or not she trusts Bo.

Christine: That Eric and Brady will face no penalties for kidnapping and torturing Stefan. Justice could be very slanted in Salem.

And Li Shin simply will get extra annoying and obsessive by the day. I actually hope Gabi, and the viewers, aren’t caught with him for the complete six months.

What was your favourite quote, scene, or storyline on this week’s Days of Our Lives?

Horizon: All about Gwen and Xander right here. Two stinging Xander quotes throughout his battle with Gwen. The primary is when he says he cannot examine Gwen to Sarah, and the ache on Gwen’s face was palpable.

And the second second when he stated she needn’t fear, he will not be “respiration down her neck.” Imply-spirited stuff on the floor, however Xander is desperately making an attempt to maintain Gwen grounded and away from her fantasy that they are going to hook up for actual once more.

I additionally acquired a kick out of Li making an attempt to lure Gabi into an organization named “Saxtons” (spelling?) and apparent play on phrases alluding to the notorious high-class Saks Fifth Avenue division retailer.

My favourite scene was the battle between Xander and Gwen as a result of it revealed rather a lot concerning the characters and their motives. Gwen’s low shallowness and childishness, and Xander making an attempt to make her face actuality. Their storyline is wealthy in emotion and depth with off-handed moments of wit.

Jack: Surprisingly, I really like the Megan storyline. That is typical Dimera conduct, but it surely’s a extra old-school story and never as annoying as a few of the different more-out-there tales. I particularly favored Kate standing as much as Megan.

Christine: I liked how Kate stood as much as Megan, each knocking her out and crushing the vial. I want she had realized one thing was off with Bo sooner, however the man’s been useless for a decade, so I can not actually blame her for considering that could be the rationale he wasn’t fairly himself.

And I liked all issues Gwen and Leo. They make improbable oddball pals and share a few of the greatest strains, resembling this Days of Our Lives quote,

[to Leo] Do not you dare or I’ll make it so Woman isn’t just a nom de plume.

Gwen
