Seems some folks are complaining about other folks saying Rachel needs a good spanking, which she undoubtedly has never had. And now, to come, Rachel pushes Chloe's buttons just too often and too hard, I guess, so.....what does Chloe do? Does she smack her? turn her over her knee? Break it off with Brady? Or does she blurt out Kristen's list of nasty deeds?
Yes, Rachel has been greatly influenced by her evil mom, and her father has not dealt with it well at all. HE is the one who needs to let Rachel in on the fact her mother is no saint, has lied to her, and hurt many other members of their family, who Rachel knows and loves. Yes, Rachel is very young, but does Brady really want her growing up believing all this false information? Better now, than later.
Don't know how long Ben & Ciara are to be around, doubt it is much at all, thus.....a short visit, she is pregnant, they tell the family the news, then leave Salem, back home to await the blessed event. Filler. Hey, if they came back to stay in Salem, all we'd hear was how the kids are at day care, or a relative's home. So we have the next generations being born, so when the grandparents, parents are no longer around, Days & Salem can go on.
Just think, we have lost Tom & Alice, Shawn & Caroline, Stefano, Victor will soon be gone. Bo & Hope (the actors) both want their freedom, Will, Sonny, Carrie, Claire, Mimi, Chelsea, Abby....the list goes on. The younger ones want to spread their wings, others want more time with their families. Days did not used to film so long and fast, it wearies the actors. The writers seem to be unable to cope with the actors' need to be elsewhere at times
