Opinion Article
This week wasnât as exciting as last weekâs episodes. The writers dealt with the aftermath of last weekâs reveals. We will get into detail about the stories for the week.
For some reason, the writers decided to recast Theresa in the middle of her storyline. The writers decided to use Gwen in the role. The actress is known for playing Gwen. Now we have to get used to her playing Theresa. She still has her accent and for some reason she is sporting a blonde wig. The writers should have given us more time to adjust to her being the character. She was shoved at us too fast. She needed more time so we could get used to her. They never had to stretch her story if they werenât going to keep the other Theresa in the role. We donât think we will get used to Emily OâBrien playing the part. Changing her hair isnât the only thing that will help us get over the fact that Jenn Liley isnât playing the part. Hereâs a question for you. Was her role that vital to the show that she had to be recast like that? We donât think she needed to be part of the show like that anymore. The show needs more Bradys, but we donât need her playing the part. We barely got a chance to see the fallout with Gwen/Leo/Dimitri when she was pushed into another storyline.
Brady is suddenly acting like heâs the doting father. He wasnât around Tate when he grew up, but heâs acting like he is father of the year. We were waiting for Tate to tell him that he wasnât there for him. He lost Rachel so now he wants to act like heâs the greatest father in the world. We know that he doesnât care about him. He only cares now because heâs in Salem. We hope that Tate tells him about himself so he can realize that he should have been more involved in his life. Tate is going to be a handful the same way he was when he was a teenager.
We were surprised by Alexâs attitude towards Justin. Last week, he was ready to write Justin off as his father. He acted as if Justin didnât raise him. He surprised us this week when he had a conversation with Justin. They straightened things out when Justin went to see him. He accepted him as his father. We applauded him for doing that. We thought he was going to keep acting that way towards him. Alex even wanted him to let him know if he gets too big for himself. We liked that. Alex didnât get too bigheaded yet. Hopefully he wonât get out of hand now that heâs in charge. His conversation with Stephanie probably played a role in his decision to accept Justin as his father.
Belle decided to give Shawn another chance. She wanted to work things out after he was with Talia. We didnât expect that to happen any time soon. She just found out that he was with her, and she was willing to work on their relationship. There must have been something about her conversation with Philip that made her want to work things out with Shawn. He threw her for a loop when he said that he was going away. He decided to leave town and be with his mother. He didnât want her to be with him. We werenât sure what to think about that. You would think that he would want to wo work things out with her, but he wanted to work on himself first. That might be a good thing, but she was willing to fix their relationship. We know Belle decided to leave and weâre not sure if Shawn was fired or not, but there was no reason to write them out that way. They needed a better way to write them out of the show. They are legacy characters and shouldnât be treated as if they donât matter to the show.
What is wrong with Susan? Why would she want to defend Xander after what he did to her? He kidnapped her and she begged EJ not to go after him. You would think that she would want him to get revenge after what he did to her. He robbed her of her chance to see her family and she acted like it wasnât a big deal. We get that the writers want us to forget that he hasnât been redeemed, but we didnât forget that. He didnât pay for his crimes and he needs to in order to be properly redeemed. She was also singing Avaâs praises. Ava didnât save her because she felt like she should be with her family. She saved her because she wanted to clear her name. Susan is very gullible to think that they cared about her other than to clear their names. Itâs too bad that EJ wonât decide to go after them anyway.
Speaking of Xander, he wanted to go after Sarah and sue for full custody of Victoria. He told Sloan how sheâs a terrible mother because she was keeping a father away from his child. Does this sound familiar? Sloan is doing the same thing to Eric. He wanted the judge to see that Sarah wasnât perfect because she lied about her babyâs paternity twice. Sarah would deserve it if Xander won the custody battle.
Sarah found out that Susan was alive. She realized that Xander didnât kill Susan. She had to rethink things because she knew he wasnât a killer after all. She will probably expect Xander not to go after the baby. She may know the truth about Xander, but that doesnât change the fact that she lied to him about the father of her baby. She shouldnât be let off the hook because she found out what really happened to Susan.
