I really enjoyed today how they had Abigail dramatize a response to Ben while everyone was reacting to him coming back, and then having her punch him out. That was great! Normally the women always cower and look to the men to save them, I'm glad she helped herself.

Today's episode was overall well done. I could have done without rehashing the vows, but I agree, Abby's internal response if questioning everything that brought her to that point, all her highs and lows, and then to snap out and into action - making her way across the room in a heartbeat, knocking him out, and all that before anyone else reacted, was really great.
I'm really wondering how they're going to pull this thing with Will out of their ass; especially with Ben being the only one to work it out.
The only thing that might make sense is a spin-off of the doppleganger story, saying Will was replaced before he returned to Salem; maybe even retconning his affair with Paul. It might make sense then if something tipped Ben off later on that the supposed Will wasn't Will.
So long as Will is really alive, I don't care too much, but generally I prefer sensible plots. Not sure why I keep watching this show...

Is Dr Rolf coming back? I am just going to assume he had something to do with it and Ben bumped into Will at Bayview.
But the episodes this week have been good so far (only 2). Kate and Andre's conversation was well done as was John and Marlena's. It does feel strange that they all seem to be mourning Will NOW and when he died it was like, meh, move along.

Oh hell, I think he is coming back. Damn, I hate how far they film, it makes it so hard to remember who's coming back after it was announced six months earlier - although that's probably something they don't mind. But now that you mention it, I do want to say his return was announce a while back. I don't recall for sure though, but I think so.

Not sure why I keep watching this show... I've been asking myself the same question since 1996! I will say that I think Ron's done a good job with the day-to-day stuff, particularly as relates to having characters cross paths who aren't currently in a storyline together. (Abe/Nicole from a few "Days" ago comes to mind; that was a really, really nice touch and a connection they've not acknowledged in a least fifteen years.) And yet, the stories themselves have me no more invested than the darkest Days of Dena Higley. But, hey, we're only a few months into the man's tenure. We won't know with any certainty how it's really gonna go for at least another three months, if not longer. |

The writing has really been hot and cold; you get moments like Abby knocking out Ben, which was great, the first episode with all the vows were good, but then you also have Marlena and Adrienne switched with Hattie and Bonnie; and Lucas falling off the wagon hasn't felt all that genuine. And yesterday they milked Chad and Abby talking about Abby knocking out Ben way too much; acknowledging it once was fine, but every other line Chad had seemed to call back to it, as if he had some sort of short term memory loss.
