     if they try to rush it, it’s not going to work.  In the first place, he is beginning to doubt himself to the point of questioning what he wants.  One thing he knows he does NOT want is to hurt Gabi in any way.  At the same time he’s just now realizing that something is going on with him that he might not yet even be able to explain, but he knows what he does not want, so I’m feeling his pain right now.  Even when "T" suggested that they room together, he was awkward in his response, even though his friend meant it in a way like, ‘hey, we’re college men now so why don’t we room together?’  Will was, I think, surprised at himself as to how he took it.  Please writers, don’t mess this up by having him develop ‘overnight’ feelings for Sonny once he reveals that he is gay.  This story will be filled with emotions if done right, but if they take it too fast, they will ruin it.  Will’s coming to understand his feelings and preferences should be quite a story if it’s taken in baby steps.  He doesn’t even know why he feels this sudden disinterest in Gabi yet, only that he does not want to be with her romantically, and that’s the way it should be depicted for now.

     Last week they called him by his last name — "Hudson".  Wasn’t that Rafe’s ex-fiance’s name?  What if he is somehow connected to Emily, and that’s the real reason he came to Salem?  We could use a good back-story on Rafe and Ariana, as well as Dario and Gabi.  The Hernandez clan popped up and have continued to grow, and we still do not know the story behind Emily and her crazy sister, Meredith, who tried to brick Rafe up behind that wall before she went insane and dumped him in the Salem River to be rescued and saved by Carly.  So, why give Quinn the last name Hudson if he’s not somehow connected to Emily and Meredith and Rafe’s back-story.  I’m just grabbing at straws here.  No spoiler read, just a thought.

     He blurted it out on twitter before the show was ready to reveal it and somebody got really p.o.’d at him.  So much so that now they’re saying he was NOT returning.  Who knows, these people lie so damn much, but I agree, Nathan is a bore.  I would much rather have Dario stay.  Now, I’m reading that the whole thing is a ruse, and to that I have to ask, WHO CARES????  If I had my way, I’d bring Blake Berris (Nick Fallon) back for Melanie, and the hell with Dario AND Nathan.  In any case, no one will be leaving before August, which is when the new writers stories will be first seen.  All of this we’re seeing now is still Dena, and these people were not fired until they were shooting well into August, tweaks or no tweaks to Dena’s writings.

     because he was there, he did know what went down and who did it, and he joined with Melanie in moving E.J., plus covering up the crime; BUT, Detective Smart-ass could not have questioned him without arresting him; and once she did arrest him, he would have had to have been Mirandized; otherwise, anything he said there in the bar could have been held against him.  He could have gone to the station and simply refused to answer any questions without proper representation, and the interrogation would have had to stop immediately.  It’s a slippery slope, but fact is he is as guilty as Melanie for hiding the truth.  Wonder who this "witness" was, or if that will play into the storyline in any way.

     when it’s preempted nationally and not just locally, Soapnet doesn’t get it either.

     she still did not have the right to take him in for questioning without his lawyer being present.  He could have told her to get lost or to come back with a warrant.  He also could have gone in voluntarily, with Justin, and allowed her to question him.  It ticks me off when they do crap like this.  As for Bo and Hope, I love them in cop mode, together, but this bad cop/vigilante justice is not what I had in mind when I said I wanted them back working together.  If this wasn’t their family involved, you can bet your sweet bippy that neither one of them would have acted this way.  I don’t like them as "tough but bad cops," so do your jobs, B&H, but be let’s put a little honesty into it, regardless of who your suspects are.  Nobody wants to see the DiMeras go down more than I do, but what Bo has been doing to E.J. in that hospital room is borderline police brutality.

     The others who were sent home were good, but Ricky is fabulous, IMO.

     and yes, she was not only too forceful, but she was completely wrong to insist Dario answer her questions.  He could have refused, and been completely within his rights, to insist that his attorney be present during any questioning, which is why I am so completely confused why they are writing Bo and Hope like two vigilante cops, breaking the law at every turn just to satisfy themselves or justify getting what they want.  I’m sure they all know the words by heart:  "you have the right to remain silent…..you have the right to an attorney…..if you give up these rights, anything you say can be used against you"…..and so on and so forth, thus the first rules of the Miranda Rights law.  So, Ms. Higley has once again chosen to ignore the law, including the Rules of Procedure, and ‘do it her way instead.’  I wonder how long the daughter will last once DH is gone.  Not too long, I hope.

     it’s the first scene she’s been in where she has any kind of real dialogue, so I would think that before Dena realized she was not going to be HW much longer, she maybe decided to give her girl more of a speaking part.  I did find her to be too forceful in the role.  Everyone knows you can’t be questioned without the right to your attorney being present, so once again Dena made a boo-boo.  Dario could have told her he was not answering any questions without his lawyer being present, so either charge me with a crime or get the hell out.  Wonder how much longer she’ll be around after Dena is gone.

    So, I’m supposed to believe that this is Nicholas Alamain, who left in his 30’s and returns in his 20’s LOL …. bad casting, so I don’t know if I can really blame that on Dena, although she was definitely not concerned with a character’s history and had no problems all of her years as HW tearing down a character’s history to suit her ridiculous writing.

    Also, I know Kate likes em’ young and dumb, so look out, Chad, the big, bad, evil, sly cougar might be looking after more than your welfare; oh, and tell Abbey not to accept any gift fruit baskets or brownies delivered by messengers, and the next time you bring her into DeMansion, don’t let her eat or drink anything, cause you can be certain momma bear will be watching.

     they sure could use that same scenario if they were to bring back Leanne Hundley as Anna DiMera, since she could blow the DiMeras whole world apart.  Also it would make sense to bring Anna back if 1) the rumor of Carrie and Austin returning comes true; and 2) we might finally get to see Roman again.

     mainly because he didn’t appear the least bit nervous or unsure of himself on his first air-date.  I liked the camaraderie between him and Abbey, and he is very cute to boot.  It would appear that his ‘coming out’ is relatively new to his parents as well, since it was made known that Justin and Adrienne have not told the rest of the family that their son is gay, which is understandable to me.  I like my first impression of Sonny, and I think he will do well with this family and this story line.

    As for Will not being believable, at first I thought the same thing.  However, most young people have an extremely hard time admitting how they truly feel, but NOT knowing it.  Just because Will has never given any indication whatsoever of his sexual preference does not mean that he doesn’t know now, nor that he has known for quite some time, that he is gay.  Also, just because he had a meaningful relationship with Mia and now with Gabi also is not something to make me disbelieve that he is suddenly becoming aware of his choice.  I know for a fact through a very dear friend of mine that young men and women are in denial themselves, and try to make their lives appear as normal as possible rather than concede to or admit to the fact that they are gay, so I can definitely understand now, more than at first, why I think this can be a beautifully written story for both of these actors, whether straight or gay, if it is written properly and acted out sincerely, showing the doubts, fears, anxieties and secret lives these two young men might have to face in the months ahead, and I for one am a little more anxious now to see this story line develop.  Just, please, please, please, no raw or passionate sex scenes …. that I do not care to see.

     and Kate.  I can’t stand Kate’s "do you know who you’re talking to" demeanor with people.  I hate seeing Chad get pulled into this family, but maybe he’ll cut ties sooner than later, before three of the horsemen of the apocalypse have a chance to trample him.  Stefano’s threats seem so laughable now compared to the old days, when he really would command respect and fear.  Now, he’s a chronically ill old man who realizes that if he loses E.J., he will be that much more vulnerable, so he has to talk a good game where his idle threats are concerned, and keeping that sorry excuse for womanhood on his arm to chime in with her two cents here and there just might give his ego a little boost.  But Maxine wasn’t hearing it from either one of them, which is what this whole damn town of Salem should realize —- the DiMeras are no more and should be run out of town on a rail.  Kate can always go out on her broomstick.
