Fast Forwarding Soap Operas

After many many years being more then four years behind the United States Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless are playing catchup

Today at 1pm (and tomorrow at 1pm) there will be a one hour special where they catch up the last four years storylines and tie up all the loose ends before screening episodes that are only 6-9months behind America.

Last week on DOOL - Abe agreed to adopt Marlo's baby making Lexie (and Stefano) pretty happy, Kate is having an affair with Nicholas -- which I find disgusting because although the actor portraying Nicholas may be in his late 20s early 30's -- the character of Nicholas should be like 12.
As should the character of Shawn D -- and don't get me started on 6year old Belle

Hope & Lexies babies were switched at birth.
Bo & Hope get married twice
John & Marlena renew their vows in a medieval ceremony
Craig & Nancy have a baby
Brady returns
Jack & Jen return and remarry
Brandon marries a woman who knows who killed Franco and she dies
Austin leaves Sami at the alter
Nicole divorces Lucas and marries Victor

Anyway - right now there's a Serial Killer in Salem - Abe, Jack and Maggie are deceased. And a wreath has been delivered to the funeral - but typing this I missed what it said.
And now Carline has been killed praying, and Cassie DiMerra (who??) says she's going to the police because she knows and now theres blood in a Pinata and a body fell out
Roman Brady victim 6 -- New Years Eve wedding to Kate?? What the? Blood in the cake. Roman in the kitchen talking to a masked killer (hockey mask) and calling him Tony DiMera - he pulls off the mask says oh God this can't be happeing and dies.
Victim 7 - Tony Dimera has blood poured on him and is attacked by a tiger right before he reveals the killers name. He survives but is killed in hospital by his killer - "My God I knew it was you - cut to the killers face and they say "You're just too smart for your own good Tony"
Marlena is the Serial Killer?????

Okay - Why? Roman is her ex husband, -- but he's her 6th victim -- why kill Abe - what was he working on -- what did we miss that they didn't reveal in the catch up
And who's Cassie DiMera - they didn't introduce her to us - so who is she?
- end catch up and on to todays New Episode.

Celeste thinks Marlena has death all around her
Jennifer is pregnant
Sami & Lucas get romantically involved
and kate talks to a photo of lucas
Julie warns some woman called Bonnie to leave Mickey alone - and she cries
and Marlena tells John she's the killer -- okay....

Good summary though (I think!)

Australia - Down Under's always been about 4years behind -- not anymore

Today's episode was WAY weird though -- I think I'd prefer to be behind - Marlena a serial killer, sami inlove with lucas, kate thinking sami is the killer and being comofrted by john who's been kicked out by marlena -- and mickey with some woman called bonnie who sold maggies figurines for a framed picture of elvis with lights -- weird.
