This week on Days of our Lives, Kristen (Eileen Davidson) plans for revenge on Marlena unravel once again, but do they unravel altogether?
It’s the wedding day of Kristen to Brady (Eric Martsolf), and as family members are gathered to witness the union, and with Father Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) presiding over the ceremony, something goes terribly amiss!
As you will see in this new NBC promo touting one of the big November Sweeps storylines, the video clip that was on the flashdrive that Marlena (Deidre Hall) had found is shown at the wedding ceremony, sending shockwaves throughout the church. Kristen looks horrified!
Next, Eric realizing it was Kristen who drugged and raped him, not Nicole (Arianne Zucker), lets everyone know what she did! Only, Brady doesn’t believe him and hauls off and hits the guy! So, will no one believe Eric’s story which is the truth? Is there something missing from the video that has key evidence that would save Kristen for her crimes against Eric?
Watch the promo after the jump! Then, let us know what you think will happen to Kristen, Eric and Brady?
HAHAHAHA! That may be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here.

Why would they think he would lie…he never showed any interest in Kristen…but maybe she’ll reverse the rape accusation and reveal she is pregnant by Eric? However, with E.D. leaving the show the truth must come out, and Kristen will go to prison(like another commentor mention) and she’ll have her baby…Eric wins custody, leaves the priesthood, and will raise the child with Nicole but will have to deal with Grandpa Stephano…i hope!!!
I guess i missed that part when i was in hospital…but you never know when it comes to these shows plus i thought it would make things more interesting…Kristen would be horrified if Nicole was raising her child and Marlena would be horrified to have Kristen be the mother of one of her grandchildren…endless story possibilities for years to come!!!

Well, Kristen did have the video edited to make it look consensual/Eric came onto her. So if there was ANY defense for Brady sticking by Kristen, it would probably be that. That’s just my guess though.
But OH BOY! This looks DELICIOUS!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT! This is going to be a good week!
But, why would Brady stick by Kristen even if it was consensual? She still would have cheated on Brady–with his brother– and lied about it…Then, again, Brady isn’t the brightest crayon in the box.
I don’t think Brady would see it as cheating, given that 1) he and Kristen were broken up; 2) he slept with Nicole during their break; 3) he already told Kristen that if she was with somebody during their break he wouldn’t be mad (…but then why he wouldn’t be mad about her lying about not being with somebody I don’t know, or like you said, the fact that it was with his brother of all people).
That was just my hypothesis. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. For all I know, maybe he’ll blame Eric for the set up! That would definitely go in line with Brady is a dumb-dumb.
You make good points, Will. Maybe the writers will take this opportunity (Brady finding out about Kristen) as Brady’s “wake up call” and write him a little smarter or savvier. I don’t want to see him fall back into the bottle or drugs, just to wise up !

Wow! Greg is so handsome. I dreamt about him last night, for reals. LOL
Ah it must be time for me put the snow tires on the car and get the snow blower ready– because I know winter just around the corner when the leaves change, the nights get colder, November sweeps and all hell breaks loose on Days. All typical signs of late fall.
And if true to form cannot wait to hear the wonderful quips old Vic will have to say about this wedding going down the tubes. My only beef is all those strangers filling up the pews. I guess it is cheaper to pay extras than to fill the church with real cast members– pity– because I really don’t care how wedding guest #8 reacts to the news. I would rather had Stefano, or John etc there, but otherwise it looks like it is going to be another great wedding day reveal– one for the soap’s history books.
Pretty much the same for Sami & EJ’s engagement party…these “friends” who have never been seen nor will be again.

This show really is on top of its game! I cannot wait to see this! Love Eileen and will miss her, but this needs to come out. I was annoyed with the length of time it was taking, but looks like it is so worth the wait. DAYS and GH have both become can’t miss, I cannot stand it! I hope Nicole goes bezerk on them for not trusting and believing in her. I wanted her with Eric, but so torn about that now. Like her with Brady also, and she and Daniel actually work together and then of course there is Liam. I like the idea of Eric having to raise a Dimera, but kind of doubting Kristen is pregnant.
but looks like it is so worth the wait. DAYS and GH have both become can’t miss,
have to echo with: I cannot stand it!
All bursting with energies to spare… what if… why? oh no… don’t go anywhere
lamenting my rationale
the fan dilemma of wanting a complete show… and both… are on FIYAH…
gh and days
save for Kiki and Daniel… oh well.
I’m loving what you contribute ED… Save Kristen for more…. future

this was the first time since seeing the clip that I notice that she was wearing clothes. She had something black on so something must have changed.

OK, this bullshit story has gone on long enough! Let’s just have the stupid thing settled once and for all and MOVE ON! No ridiculous baby stories needed.
Just get Kristin OFF the show (I did enjoy the character, but the rape story went too far) and don’t bring her back for a long, long time. Back to the nut house with her!
Thanks SZima, The storyline is distasteful. You don’t have to rape priests to write compelling stories. I can hope a baby won’t follow, but I’m sure it will, and even though Eileen is a wonderful actress she can’t act her way out of the fact that she’s too old to conceive.
And little boys can have God in their hearts without being raped by priests!!!

I absolutely love Eileen Davidson! Eileen is the reason I began to watch DOOL again. Unfortunately, when she leaves, I’ll probably go back to watching it here and there. Eileen is just as talented as she is beautiful! I can’t wait to see the wedding!

I have never been a fan of the pairings of Brady Eric and Kristen. In the story Kristen is a generation older than those boys. However…Eileen is so good at playing whack job bat shit crazy that these fallout scenes should be amazing! It is such a surreal experience to see her effortlessly step into her role of the warm and compassionate Ashley on her mother ship show while stil airing as kristen
She is an awesome actress!

So silly and repulsive, especially with those priest in the real world doing ungodly things, somethings should be off limits.

What I don’t understand is how Marlena could let Victor or whoever show that video in public. Hasn’t she considered what that will do to Eric … as well as Brady?
Hadn’t even thought about people considering it consensual, but I had forgotten about Kristen’s original intent, and of course she would have edited it.
This should be fun! However, I can’t wait for Brady to grow a brain.
I don’t think Marlena does it. I think it gets stolen and whoever steals it shows it to the public. Marlena would not disgrace her son like that. I was thinking Anne might do it. Her confrotation with Marlena was kind of sudden and out of place. Although it was fun. Lol.
I see a drug induced downward spiral for Brady. Ah Brady….not the brightest bulb in the chandalier. Punching your brother the priest?? Really?? As your psychotic, whack job bride to be has just been revealed to have raped the priest….he goes and assaults the priest?
LOL. I don’t know where this story is headed but I’ll be watching.
I am hoping there is so much more to the Jordan story. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that production meeting where someone said ” I’ve got a GREAT idea! Let’s hire a pretty, popular, charismatic girl from All My Children. But let’s make her dowdy, unattractive , boring, and isolate her from the main cast for months on end, and feature her in scenes only with Rafe! Awesome idea huh?”
I know this show tapes months in advance, but this regime has to know that Rafe is NOT popular with the audience! He is very much a dead weight character who drags every other character down into this weird vortex of unlikability. He has long outlived his relevance or usefulness on the show…which was sketchy to begin with. It really seemed like the show was trying to bring Passions viewers over (all 7 of them) and they created the I’ll conceived Hernandez family.
dear anne
love to anne
win something with anne
win something for anne
whippersnapper – no quips unfounded – upfront – her logic reels
FUN – laugh out loud – entertaining – best busybody – purely BELONGS
I just loved how saint Marlena “kowtowed” Anne… and Anne simply told her to stand aside.. and don’t “expletive” with me… I’ll bring you down! go to the chief of staff
I’m Anne – hear me – I’m Anne! laugh out Loud
not to mention… even daniel tried his macho machinations… and she merely fluffed her wings and kept up
I don’t know what trailer park she comes from… but: i’d escort her to and from the hospital….
those eyes – his smile – dark tanned stunning camera loves him and so do we
they may have languished his stay in the hospital … and out of the Salem PD
but.. it was Kate time to emote her sensuals and putting out their, her fire for
I still think these two are for real…. she more than sees him as her boy toy… dang! if I had the cashola i’d do the same. Rafe was sexy – flirty – got some
and… dang!
Jordan… same thing… may have languished just like Madison… I hope they turn the page for more… ie: what’s her backstory to propel her in to the stars as it were… she’s equally stunning.. loaded with talent… ie: AMC. and I hope the sterling cast rallys for ALL the SHOW….
I am waiting… and know she’s capable.
her backstory… along with still embers Rafe and Kate.
luscious Kate has “it” ALL – isn’t she lucky… isn’t she grand – isn’t she style

boy…. Nicole needs friends….
who does she spill the beans to…. our lord and saviour… “daniel”
who does JJ revere?… I was totally wrong about you… “daniel”
who does the “whole” cast… man, woman, and child… preen and await…. “daniel”
pedestal’ed Daniel…
at the very least…. minimum…. lose those farrah locks… go with a ceaser cut
“all hail our conquering hero”
I give up…
for all the drama thats ensuing currently….
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THAT’S GOOD – ‘daniel’ and ‘jen’
i’m at my whits end with how daniel is all that?
i was livid once again… Jenn… calling Jeanne Theresa Donovan…
“a drug addicted slut”
Jenn… you are so haggie maggied out… you look like a tired deer stuck in headlights… frozen –
These writers do not grasp the character of Jennifer Rose at all!! Jennifer is not a weepy wring her hands kind of person. She is spunky and courageous and takes matters into he hands.
She has also never been judgmental, so the constant scenes of her Theresa bashing are especially harsh. Theresa is the daugter of a lifelong family friend…and Jennifer would want to help her…not call her terrible names and try to ruin her.
If the real jennifer was this way..she would have nothing whatsoever to do with Kristen. Kristen did vicious unspeakable things to Jennifer’s mother Laura back in the day….and she took great happiness in doing them. She almost killed Laura and probably would have if other methods hadn’t worked to keep Laura quiet.
The show is so well written these days and many characters are behaving totally true to form (Victor), or have had refreshing new life breathed into them (Marlena, Adrienne) or are just on fire totally (Nicole,). But these writers have really missed the mark with their interpretation of Jennifer. I hope Melissa Reeves’ longtime popularity will not falter because of the writing.
She has also never been judgmental, so the constant scenes of her Theresa bashing are especially harsh. Theresa is the daugter of a lifelong family friend…and Jennifer would want to help her…not call her terrible names and try to ruin her.
@Johnny
thank you for helping me clarify and get my point across…
Jennifer Rose Horton is off kilt somewhat. for the sake of the long-time beloved familys’ I do give her leeway.
however… they need to cut the crap aura daniel makes me want to heave and puke – this show is so much more than thru the eyes of maggie horton’s nuSon
WHO CANNOT act
ultimately… what do you think of all that’s going on since Jack’ demise… ie: in regards to Jenn. and I will always consider her “grans jewel”
it’s HOPE… it makes me wonder.. how will she fare when she “finally” goes on her own… acting chops.. and lives without Bo… ?!?!
Jenn without Jack
Hope without Bo
Jenn has faltered and mistepped so many times… It’s achingly prevalent…

It’s a toss up whether Eric or Brady is the dumber one.
Lord knows that Victor has it right when he calls Brady “my idiot grandson”.
I hope they both eat dirt when they next see Nicole, and she kicks them both where it will hurt the most.
Then I hope Victor dumps Maggie the Nag and marries Nicole. They’re the only two in Salem – other than Caroline – with a working brain.
“…Lord knows that Victor has it right when he calls Brady “my idiot grandson”.”
Gosh darn it…. He’s All that… Victor – the original quips MAN.
doesn’t he have at his disposal…..
Justin
Brady
daniel – his “GOD”child
despair…. for the love off knowledge… and complete edorphins thru the roof climatic
can’t get enough…
“oh” “that was me” – Kiriakis manse is laden with stud muffin
give us MORE JUSTIN –
Brady – ie: more than made this story his own… even tho it seemed like he was childlike… and wanted acceptance too long… I love kristen/I’m marrying Kristen/we’ve changed/I like sex
you know… when John left Salem… Brady soldiered on.. with Kristen… and he more than ably contributed to the resurgeance DAYS IS
the fallout? I hope they go somewhere with Brady/Eric/Nicole’ part in comeuppance. As an actor… one relish’ good writing… and Eric Martsolf, Arianne Zucker, Greg Vaughan… dang! these names immediately conjure up TALENT. Let them RUN the GAMUT of humane emotion and reel their TALENT.
it’s a vast shell of what the hell happened?
————–
Justin – IE: latest SOD cover…. “Justin and Adrienne” beak up!
wow! yikes! could this be the time to trot out stud muffin Justin.. with Hope! ?
it’s the only way to see Hope on the canvas… this worked for a short time a while – long time ago… and these two are perfect for giving us HOPE
Adri: what about lost misguided bereft wrong foots it with: drumroll: “Lucas” !
Victor strays and we see an on-fire spitfire, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… it’s Maggie…. there are other men outside of daniel

“Daytime television invites viewers into the private lives of characters, often bringing important issues like cancer screenings into living rooms and around water coolers. Soaps debuted the first cancer storyline in 1962 – years before the topic was discussed in the mainstream, and it left an indelible impact: a whole generation of women who scheduled a potentially life-saving Pap smear for the first time,” said Daytime Stands Up host Alan Locher. “For so many viewers, this brought the issue front and center,” added co-host Michael Fairman. “Today, it’s become almost impossible to avoid; but there is hope with cancer research, thanks to organizations like Stand Up To Cancer.”
SU2C Co-Founder Sue Schwartz, SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, Ph.D., and SU2C Health Equity Committee Member Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., will also participate to speak to the importance of early detection, exciting scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing work yet to be done to make screenings and treatment equitable for all.
“This year, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer, presenting an opportunity for the public to stand with us and rise to the occasion,” said Adams. “We’re thankful to Alan Locher, Michael Fairman and our friends from the daytime television community, who will raise critical funding to honor those we’ve lost – and to propel new scientific breakthroughs for current and future patients. Everyone has a story, and we’re grateful to all of you for sharing yours.”
For over 15 years, SU2C has leveraged its relationship with the entertainment community – which includes more than 1,100 celebrity ambassadors – to generate public donations, increase awareness and fund cutting-edge cancer research. SU2C research has contributed to the development of more than 10 scientific breakthroughs that have significantly impacted the field and provided new treatment options for breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, pancreatic, pediatric and prostate cancers.

In support of the event, SU2C will also be launching a 10-day eBay silent auction, from May 16 through 26, for fans to bid on items, including a meet-and-greet experience with the cast of NBC’s Days of Our Lives; an autographed script from the cast of Young and Restless and signed merchandise from the Bold and Beautiful cast; a 1:1 video call with General Hospital’s Cynthia Watros, Maura West and Laura Wright, and with daytime legends Robert Newman, Vincent Irizarry, Colleen Zenk, and more.

Days of our Lives star Deidre Hall (Marlena) is set to play a version of herself on third season of Hacks. Look for Hall this month in an episode titled “The Deborah Vance Christmas Spectacular,” to air on May 23 on Max.
Not only will Hall appear in the episode, but so too, will Back to the Future and Taxi star, Christopher Lloyd.
According to EW.com, Deidre will play “a fictional version of herself, who just so happens to be the mom of Paul W. Downs’ Jimmy.”

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”
As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

“We had written some things that were flirty, but the chemistry was palpable,” says co-creator and series star, Downs shared. Hacks stars Jean Smart as comedy legend Deborah Vance.
