Adam’s huge love for Chelsea is exactly why he hasn’t been able
to tell her yet. Would be too terrifying to think she may not understand,
(even though he knows deep down he can trust her.) and then lose her
and Connor completely. But Monday will be great I hope!

I think Melissa Claire Egan has a perfectly nice voice.

I agree CeeCee, she will be pissed of his betrayal BUT will realize that one, she loves him and two, if his identity is revealed he is still the number one suspect of dear old Delia’s death.

@ Timmm.
Exactly, Timmm. As you say, she will be pissed off….but, never will she betray him.

I think she will tell because he never loved her he loved Sharon from what I remember all those years. Chelsea was forced to live with Adam because of her lying pregnancy once again. WHY DOES CHELSEA ALWAYS GET A PASS FOR WHAT SHE DID TO BILLY AND VICTORIA? She raped and drugged him and gave away Johnny like trash! NOT HAPPY FOR CHADAM! Period

Cee Cee, you’re right with your deconstruction. I just want to underscore the fact that Adam did not assume he had hit little Delia until the next day. I know YOU know that but it bothers me that it is not mentioned on the show. He left the scene of the accident not knowing that he had hit the girl.
On another note, I knew something tragic was going to happen to poor Delia when they decided to name her Cordelia. Delia is short for Cordelia–this is the name of King Lear’s youngest, and sweetest daughter. When Cordelia is killed as the result of the sins of her father, King Lear cries,”My poor fool is dead.”
A play on words, of course, but you get the point.

I was reading it was Kelly that killed her, the real Jack knows. But who knows for sure.

Billy didn’t hit Delia, but he does share in the blame as he left her alone in the car.

@Harry.
WOW, Harry. You never stop impressing me. To be honest with you, I did not make the connection with Shakespeare’s Cordelia. I should have, I know.
The name is equivalent to bad omen. Good call. Thank you for that, Harry.

I think Sage killed Delia.

Okay, we must remember there has been two changes in head writers since the story of Dee’s death. We have no idea how Mr. Griffith would have penned that story since he quit and JFP and her minions used that story to get rid of MM. So any clues we saw when it first aired are moot because Mr. Pratt can rewrite history any way he sees fit.

As many pointed out there was a name Kelly on that list that owned a black SUV, so perhaps the original plan was Billy falling in love with Kelly and then she would turn out to be the one to ran down Deliah. But the way they played Kelly after Ms Altman took over as writer doesn’t connect to someone who would have run down a child and not say anything about it, of course then Pratt made her a bit looney, so it could still be feasible to pinned it on her.

My thought at one time was they were going to make Mason the real hit and run driver. Mason was Hilary’s boy toy who was working with her to get back at Neil. The reason I thought it was Mason was his reaction when Devon offered a million dollars for intel on who the driver might be; he was awful nervous and seemed guilty, he left town shortly after that. He was slimy enough to be the type of person to hit a child and then take off.

At this point, Pratt can do anything he wants– but if I was writing this, I wouldn’t make the real driver any of the characters on screen now or ever. At this point I would just write some random person from out of town who did it; They were too scared to come forward, but then now they found out they are dying, so to clear their conscience they return to GC and confess to Paul what really happened. That is the route I would take.

Remember when Victor had that list of names of people who had black SUVs like Adam’s and he was crossing names off the list to see if any of those SUVs had been in an accident? Since I record the show, I remember pausing on the list and the name Kelly Wilson was on the list. This was around the time that Kelly and Billy slept together and she had a prominent presence in the main storyline but no real backstory.

Anyway, at the time I thought for sure they were going to spin it and make Kelly the driver and absolve Adam of all wrongdoing. It seemed plausible that Kelly had come to town under a different last name. But then I thought, how bizarre and cruel of the writers to make a woman who had lost her son in a car accident take the life of another child while driving her car. And THEN I thought, maybe the story of her dead son was a cover for something else. Maybe she never had a son named Sam. And THEN I thought, there is no way Adam hit her. He wasn’t drunk; yes he was speeding, but wouldn’t he have felt the impact? How did he get that crack in his front light? And he did stop his vehicle and just saw the dog. So his senses were heightened, he would have felt that he had hit someone. No? Yes? What? Why? WHY?!?! This has gone on too long!!!

And now I’m thinking that Nikki did it because she was drinking back then, wasn’t she? And that reveal would DEFINITELY get her to sober up. But that would be her second homicide…after doing away with Diane Jenkins. So…yeah, I think Adam is going to carry this albatross around his neck forever.

And since I mentioned pausing a recorded show , did anyone else pick up the typo on the DNA test that Ashley read the other day? About how the DNA sample could not be “EXCUDED” , rather than EXCLUDED? You’d think they would have the time to spellcheck. Jeez.

@Mary FS.
Wow, Mary. I am I,pressed. Your post is so logically explained. It just follows fluently to the letter.
And, I agree.

@Lucia.
Absolutely, Lucia. What an enlightening post. We need to be given a nudge, once in a while, remembering the sequence of events. You sure have put my thinking in perspective….

Harry

Thanks for brining up LEAR (my favorite to teach!) Cordelia was killed defending her father’s kingdom, even after he banished her. When Lear arrives on stage with her dead body, he repeats, “Howl, howl, howl, howl, howl, howl”– no words in the English language to describe the pain a parent feels with a child’s death. ONCE AGAIN, had the writers any true foresight (instead of their continual cheap gimmicks) they’d put the UMPPHH back in the show.

I agree they missed an opportunity when “Gabe” first came to town and he tested out his new face first with Sharon. If I had been writing it I would of had Sharon recognize him as Adam right off– that would have fitted with the history of those two characters and still left some hope that they might find their way back to each other. But the direction they took Adam after MM left and the way they are writing Sharon, I seriously doubt they will ever be a couple again until there is a change in writer or producers.

Ashleigh, I’d have loved if Sage betrayed Adam !!
That would have put some heat to it..

I’m with you Nikki!
Summer should be the one who killed Delia so she can be sent to prison for life! (well, I prefer the electric chair)

Well, Adam will still have to contend with Marissa and Marco knowing his secret.

I still say it was Sage and the Real Gabe that hit Delia, Hit and run involving Alcohol

Oh, Melissa. That is soooo funny. I agree. Let’s get rid of Sage. LOL.

Actually, Melissa, that makes so much sense. The real Gabe and Sage! Perfect. Kill two birds with one stone. If this is, indeed, how the accident went down, do you think Adam knows? Did he and Sage strike a deal, each keeping his/her silence? Very interesting.

I love that Days has turned Will into a snarky needy lil bitch!! Sami 2.0! Guy Wilson plays this version of Will perfectly!!

@Aden.
Yeah, he does. But, he isn’t Will, is he. Plus, no charisma.
The same applies to NuBilly. Where do I start??

@Aden.
How true, Aden. What you said about Olivia made me chuckle. What about when characters think out loud, in public places, no less. I can never get past that! LOL.

How is this different from Olivia on GH continually shouting at the top of her lungs ” No one can find out that the biological father of my baby is Julian Jerome!!” The laziest, lamest way to blow Soap secrets.

I completely agree, Mary!!! It was so clear in how Griffiths left details ambiguous that Adam could not have done it. He didn’t even know he had hit anyone until the next day. Plus, the fact that he stopped the car when he saw the dog indicates that even though he was speeding, he wasn’t driving recklessly enough to not notice a figure in the road.

It also seemed that the writers didn’t know what to do with the character of poor Kelly. She came to town with a flimsy storyline of having lost a child in the same way Billy did. Since a “Kelly Wilson” was listed on the list of people to whom black SUVs were registered, I wondered if it was going to prove to be Kelly who was driving that night, distraught over the revelation of her affair with Billy. Then Cady McClain came on board, and the character of Kelly got more depth…and then, the writing regime changed and she veered off into another universe.

I agree it would be silly to have Sage be the driver now but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do something like that. I keep trying to forget that Sharon married Victor after having been married to Nick and Adam – and then she got back together with Nick and all I could think about was how gross it was that she slept with Victor. But it’s clear they’re going to go in that direction with the nasty Abby-Ashley-Stitch love triangle….it’s like reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses!!

My last paragraph may not make sense but what I was getting at was that often the writers expect us to forget or kindly “forget” the details so they can expand a storyline as they see fit. Sharon’s marriage to Victor is rarely brought up because it is so gross to think about …yet we all know it happened.

I agree. I think Justin is doing a really good job, but he lacks vulnerability. I would sympathize with MM, but not with Justin’s take on the character, but he’s still quite good.
Also as a side note, i think that Justin’s Adam is kinda too too young for Sharon, although she looks great for her age, but then pairing would be off, imo.

Maybe Marissa is Miguel’s daughter? Now that’s a blast from the past!

@Ron.
Wow, Ron. How clever! Miguel’s daughter….hmmmm.
