First week on Peacock, will be interesting to see how the show changes since so much of the content airing in these first months was filmed before they announced the move.
I am also curious how much of the episodes I will miss watching on the cable channel here, since Peacock episodes were said to be longer, but I will still get commercials on mine. Also, I didn't get to see last Friday's episode - it wasn't shown here due to coverage of Queen Elizabeth's death, and half of Thursdays was cut off as they broke in to announce she had passed.
Monday, September 12
Gabi is stunned to come face-to-face with Stefan.
Chanel and Allie are shocked by Paulina's news.
Alex invites Stephanie out for a drink.
EJ finds Ava and Johnny in a compromising position.
Tuesday, September 13
Marlena, Kayla, and Kate all suddenly become ill.
Rafe questions Nicole about Eric.
Eric opens up to Jada.
John and Steve strategize about how to locate Orpheus.
Wednesday, September 14
Nicole has an enticing offer for Eric.
Xander and Sarah's state of wedded bliss comes to an abrupt halt.
Orpheus' true revenge on his enemies starts to become clear.
Rafe and Jada get a lead on Orpheus.
Thursday, September 15
Chanel and Allie argue about Johnny and Ava.
Ava and Johnny keep up their charade.
Gabi informs EJ that Stefan is alive.
Rachel's custody hearing turns ugly.
Friday, September 16
Kristen makes a shocking accusation against Brady.
EJ has a proposition for Stefan.
Johnny asks Allie for a favor.
Chloe is surprised to find Stefan at her door.

With Craig coming back next week, it really makes me believe he was the one who killed Abigail. Just my hunch.

I agree with you, when I saw him pop up in the spoilers I thought, FlyBoy was right!  |

If Craig does end up being the killer, I will be very disappointed. It really does throw his character under the bus. I mean, he just had to go through all of this humiliation and has been such a respected doctor for all these years. Now, he comes out of the closet and they turn him into a psychotic killer? But, he made most sense to me since it wasn’t Gwen or Leo.
I’m hoping to see some improvements over the coming months for the show. They should create more sets and up the quality since people have to pay for the show now. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

I agree this is a big turn for Craig. He was quite terrible with all of his plotting and scheming against Mike back in the day but I don't remember him being murderous?
I really hope for new sets, along with a change in that blue/grey lighting they keep using. It just makes everyone look so old and pale.

I really hope for new sets, along with a change in that blue/grey lighting they keep using. It just makes everyone look so old and pale. The lighting on the sets is awful. Plus the set designs look atrocious. Especially the DiMera mansion. It looks like Thomas or Charlotte scribbled on the walls. It just doesn’t fit into an Italian Tuscan influenced mansion. Plus, how did the Kiriakis mansion become a studio apartment? And, the dumbest thing which was mentioned is all the characters that live at the Salem Inn. Seriously, who lives in hotels when they’re not traveling? Back in the day, you had the Horton House, Marlena and Roman’s house, the DiMera mansion, Bo and Hope’s house, the loft apartment, the basement apartment that Patch and Kayla lived in, Abe and Lexie’s house, Maggie’s kitchen and the apartments for Austin and Carrie’s with I believe the character’s name was Jesse. Also, is it just me or does it look like the clothing designs are from K-Mart or Kohl’s? Kate is really the only female character that dressed well. I really like her eclectic style. Gabi always dresses like a hooker and Nicole’s dresses are so drab. Even the men don’t dress that well. EJ used to always wear designer suits. Now he wears a lot of V-neck sweaters. |

I can't remember their specific antics, but yeah, Craig and Nancy were the big bads for a while. After Mike left though, and especially after Craig found out he was Chloe's biological father, both Craig and Nancy mellowed out and were a couple of solid protagonists. I remember rather liking their turn around as characters. It'd be disappointing to bring even just Craig back, just to have him go off the deep-end.

I don't think it's Craig. I think he's being set up as a major red herring and they even had him acting suspicious. I've long believed Li would end up being the killer (for some some DiMera-y reason) but I'm now circling back to Clyde. Craig smells like vanilla.... but he hugged Nancy... who's been all over Clyde.
Part of this is I simply don't want it to be Craig, because that's a weird bastardization of him (he kills Jack and Jennifer's daughter and tries to kill Justin and Adrienne's son just to frame Leo?) and also I don't like the implication of "It turns out he's gay... AND ALSO THAT HE'S A PSYCHO!" I just don't buy it. Craig has been a bad guy. But he's not this kind of a bad guy. It all makes me very interested in if any of this will connect into why Mike's back this fall.
Additionally, let's be real, they're not going to not eventually reveal Abigail is alive after all! Huzzah! And if it's just Craig who did it, how can he pull that off?

Welcome back Glozone! I like your theories about Abigail’s killer. I agree that making Craig out to be the killer is very out of character for him. I hope that the killer actually ends up being Li. I can’t stand his smug attitude and it seems like he has no problem with killing people since he was very quick to wanting to pull the plug on Stefan.
As much as he was a despicable character, I hope it’s not Clyde. I actually have come to like him and I don’t see why he would have a real reason to kill Abigail. But, the vanilla scent on Craig would make it seem that the scent came from Clyde.
Who knows? All I can say is that Leo has become the most entertaining character on the show and he even makes Gwen somewhat like able in their scenes together.

I agree the stretch for Craig to be a killer is a bit much but I still don't like his character - I never did back in the day either. I think they are going with too many red herrings. I also don't want it to be Clyde. And I really want to like Li, but the smirking isn't working for me.
I like Leo also. He's quite amusing and makes Gwen more palatable. I'm also enjoying NuJen getting more material. We are really seeing Cady's range now. No one can place MR but I am ok with this change and I like Cady in the role now.
On another note, I don't know if this is the same for everyone watching on Peacock but here we have it on a cable channel with the same commercials as before. I find every day when the episode starts I feel like I missed a day! Today (Thursday) had Leo in jail and Craig talking to him! Last I saw Craig was with Nancy and Clyde and Leo was with Gwen at the motel. And all of a sudden Chad is talking to Rafe! It's a little confusing! Are you all experiencing the same?

Huh, when I read Glozone saying Craig "smells like vanilla" I just assumed that was his way of saying Craig's just too plain of a guy to be a killer or something, but as I read through the rest of the posts, apparently him smelling like vanilla is a legit plot point... which is important to solving a murder... because of course it is...
Let's not forget though, he did try to kill Sam Beckett once upon a time... 🤔

But I don’t remember a character by the name of Sam Beckett??? Great memory Stargazer! Who was he and who played him? Oh, and the vanilla had to do with Sonny trying to remember the incident and only remembering that his attacker had a scent of vanilla. |
