Who Sh(u/o)t J.R. and Dallas?

April 7, 2015 By Tessa McKenzie

who shot JR picMaybe you had seen it happen. You sure would have heard about it from your beloved grandmother. If you are a little over the middle ripe age, you must have had a brawl at the bar or a conundrum with your spouse over it. It wouldn’t be wrong to state that the juggernaut we are talking about here, derives its roots from around as back in time, as the good olden days when Apple and Blackberry were still considered as fruits, the ‘Windows’ were square sized holes in the walls and the ‘Web’ as we know it today was believed to be a spider’s home. We are talking about the mass sensation, the goliath of a serial soap, Dallas.

Be it a feline hullaballoo at the neighborhood kitty party or be it a snack break in the midst of a bridal rehearsal, “Who shot J.R.?” had become the nation’s most widely asked question. Not only the local magazines but the debate had ranged onwards into foreign shores with a penetrative power well into the hearts of the Middle and Far East. The Barnes-Ewing Feud had been an atom bomb with widespread greed, melodrama and unexpectedness as its sidekicks. Such had been the glamour of Dallas that it had even found its way into the then Presidential Campaigns, the likes of Jimmy Carter. Dallas had been and will always be the apple of the eyes of the television audience all around the globe.

With the current revival and shut down that Dallas has witnessed, it wasn’t really justice that was meted out both to the passionate fans and the reputation of the show itself. The television primetime industry of the nation has for sure backed out on the very ideals on which the nation flutters its star spangled banner today; Justice and Freedom. The audience doesn’t get what it wants and the chains of surreal politics within the industry threatens to curb the happening worldwide sensation. With great entertainment houses fueling themselves from the emotions of the public, the likes of Dallas developers CBS and Warner Bros, this now remains a silent unheard appeal on the audience’s part, for the revival of the Dallas. With millions of eager eyes ready to jump in into the buzz and sponsors throughout the globe to support, there’s no real setbacks either for Warner Bros or CBS to give to the viewers what they really want. All we hope for is to let the silence of this appeal buzz so much that they realize the might of the happening conspiracy. We have fed you with our emotions for years now and all we expect in return is the exact dose of entertainment that we really are passionate about. Let the buzz not be about ‘Who shot J.R.?’ or ‘Who shut Dallas?’ Let the ears and the tongues move towards the question, ‘Who revived Dallas?’

And so, LTAS/Dallas/soap fans, our Dallas trilogy comes to an end. To review: In part I, titled, “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,” we demonstrated that TNT pulled the plug on Dallas 2.0 because it didn’t have the resources of a big network, like CBS, to revive a soap juggernaut like Dallas. In Part II, For The Love Of Dallas by tvblogger1127, we showed an international audience why they support Dallas’ return and what an amazing job Cynthia Cidre did in keeping Dallas 2.0 fresh while remaining true to its history—not to mention leaving us with an excellent cliffhanger to be picked up when it is revived again on CBS. In the above final post in our trilogy, our guest blogger showed how CBS and Warner Brothers will make big bucks by bringing Dallas back. We hope that Mr. Iger over at ABC/Disney sees that the Dallas fans, arguably so of the most passionate and loyal out there, haven’t given up on Dallas, and from the looks of it never will, thus the ABC soap fans will not disappoint should that company finally bring All My Children and One Life to Live Back. The same goes for the fans of Loving, Guiding Light, Another World, and As the World Turns. On the flip side of the coin, Mr. Iger, ABC soap fans will not give up boycotting and generally advocating for the return of our beloved ABC soaps. What do you think, readers? We want to hear from you! Comment and discuss, please!

Days of Our Live, Cliffhanger Friday 04/03/15

April 4, 2015 By Tessa McKenzie

At the benefit, all hell breaks loose when a secret is exposed.Nicole entered her office ready with the week’s recaps, but she was in not the best of moods. She had heard about what happened at the charity event and wanted answers. She bypassed her own office and went right for Robert’s.

 Nicole: “ROBERT”

“Oh, hey, Nicole. How’s it going today? Have the recaps?”

Robert:“Don’t ‘Hey, Nicole’ me. Does that reporter work for you?”

Nicole; “What reporter “

“This guy.” (Nicole showed a photo she got online)

“No. He’s a sleaze for a tabloid trash mag.” this is a 5-star legitimate newspaper.”

Nicole hesitated but believed him. Robert saw the hesitation.

Robert: “Come on, Nicole. How long have we known each other?”

Nicole:“Since our…”

“I wouldn’t have gotten this high if I stooped that low.”

Nicole: “Sorry, but after last week’s revelation, I had to be sure.”

Robert:“The DiMeras usually hire useless idiots, not sleazebags.”

Nicole: “So your a useless idiot?” Nicole laughed

Robert: “Ha ha ha. Recaps!”

Nicole: Charity event week Clyde continues to hear DiMera legend snippets from all different sources then realizes that Victor played him and Kate.

“Do you think Clyde will pay attention or think nothing of them like he did with Victor?”

Robert: “He’ll learn the hard way…Continue…

Nicole: “Lucas an Adriane made love?” What are your thoughts on this new couple?”

Robert: “Say what ?”

“Lol. It’s true.”

Nicole: “He lost one wife to her alleged rapist, another to Dr. Manwhore, then goes and cheats with a married woman.”

“Yup.”

“He should have stayed in Hong Kong.”

“Theresa continued to be her…herself with everyone around her. Why do you think she’s acting like this this time.”

Robert: “Heaven knows with her.”

Nicole: “At the charity event said reporter burst in and told everyone that Will had cheated on Sonny with Paul.”

Marlena figured out the John and Paul connection. John, after all that transpired, is relieved that Paul is leaving town, how long until all this plays out and how will another John son fit into Marlena and Brady’s world?

“Do you think they will tell Belle?

Robert: “Who?”

“LOL! Did you know that John and Ava Vitali had a son?”

“Good grief.”

“Here’s a quesiton for the article. If John Black fathered a child when he was Stefano’s pawn, doesn’t that technically make Stefano the father by proxy, as it were?”

Robert: “I try not to think about it…Thats about it”

Nicole: “Great lets take it to the printing room then grab lunch…Oh, BTW did you hear that your Friend Kristen Blake Dimera is coming back very soon?”

Robert: “WHAT?!?!?!?”

It should be awesome.

Days of Our Live, Cliffhanger Friday 03/27/15

March 27, 2015 By Tessa McKenzie

days cf 03 27 15Nicole enters the elevator to bring Robert (her senior Editor) this week in Salem’s recaps, and hits the button to go up. She gets off the elevator, and see’s a sign that says that her papers office is now on the top floor of the building.

“I have a bad feeling about this,” she says to herself while gathering her notes and re-entering the elevator.

“I hope he didn’t..,” she says to herself, “I really hope he didn’t,” the bell rings and the door opens

“He did,” she sighs, looking around the place. It is huge. Everything looks brand new and obviously costs a fortune.

“WHAT THE HELL!”

Robert: “Oh, hey, Nicole! Like our new surroundings? Doesn’t the office look great. Look at this desk.” Rob waves his arm around it.

Nicole: “Please don’t tell me that you sold the newspaper to Stefano!”

Robert. “No, no, no. Of course not—he was just very appreciative after reading your article.”

Nicole: “Uh huh. And your going to his island last week had nothing to do with this?”

Robert: “Of course not. But he did purchase 45 percent of the company or the stocks or something. I’m not sure.”

Nicole: “HE DID WHAT???”

Robert: “Calm down, Nicole! You’re going to have a stroke.” What have you got for me?”

Nicole: Clyde thanked Aiden for his services in getting all the charges released against him for attacking Chad.

He started hearing snippets of Dimera legends from Hope, who sensed that Clyde might not be all he seems to be.

Robert: “Good, good, go on.”

Nicole: Daniel, now caught dead in the middle of the JJ-Eve-Jennifer conspiracy to keep Page in the dark, is trying to keep things from getting out of hand

Robert: “LOL! In this town out of hand is normal.”

Nicole: “There’s a new guy in town, Xander. Seems okay.”

Robert: “Got a picture of him?” Nicole shows Robert.

“Hmm looks like Dimetri of Kirakis, Inc. Be careful around him.”

Nicole: “This from the man who took money from Stefano and rebuild his office.”

Robert: “CONTINUE.”

Nicole: Clint completed his Brady-and-Theresa-blood-sample-collection for Dr. Mandrake, left Theresa a note and took off.

Robert: “Yeah guys that age tend to do that when girls just put out right away.”

Nicole: “Excuse me?”

Robert: “My bad. Go on.”

Nicole: Melanie, who wont stay away from any of this, told Brady that Theresa still loves him.

Will continues to try and remove Paul from his and Sonny’s life, but the more he pushes the closer they get.

Robert: “Not learning from Mommie’s mistakes, that’s for sure.”

Nicole: “Tell me about it…Victor went to chicago and back for a business meeting”

Robert: in the middle of a turf war?”

Nicole: “Yup.”

Robert: “Must have had to pick up something for Maggie.”

Nicole: “I talked to Eric. It was nice. I guess he wasn’t his usual judgmental, snobby self”

Robert:” “Stay away from those Bradys, Nicole. They’re nothing but trouble.”

Nicole: “I know, I know.”

“Thats about it. Don’t think I forgot anything.”

Robert:” “Well, there’s time before we have to go to print. If you remember anything we can add it.”

Nicole: “Thanks, Robert.”

Robert:” “Great. Now wait to you see your office. Come ill show you.”

Nicole:“Wonderful!”

Time to turn the hourglass…
