ITA! I enjoyed every show this week, but especially the family nights at
the DiMera and Kiriakis mansions. You could really sense the tension
around
the dinner table at Victor's! And John's lines about their family were
hilarious. I'm actually getting into John's new character; the
I-don't-give-a-rat's-ass attitude just cracks me up. I also like how he
calls Marlena "Blondie"; you can see that he is attracted to her, even if
he
doesn't remember her. For some reason, his new character sounds like
Clint
Eastwood's character in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", though it was
Eli
Wallach's character "Tuco" who called Clint "Blondie". lol It is great
to
see Nicole back, and I loved her entrance. Great stuff!! I'm truly
having
fun watching the show again!
