Is Chad going to die?

Like most Days fans I was at the edge of my computer chair, seat, couch, bed or whatever you sit or lie on this past week. Was Chad going to die? The end of Monday's episode certainly didn't help.

Luckily I watched in on Friday so I luckily only had to wait five seconds for the next show to come up on hulu. Yay! So I didn't have to go through a mental breakdown in waiting 24 hours to find out if he lived. That is certainly an advantage to having weekend marathons.

We did see some almost laughable medical work there. Cameron was all upset because one of the anticoagulants was dangerous to Chad due to him taking some drug for the brain tumor that Chad actually doesn't have. Luckily E.J. was there to explain.

The actor playing him basically doesn't know how to show emotions. In a soap opera that is key. Him pissed is like most people finding out that they are out of paper towels. Of course the poor kid is acting alongside a powerhouse like James Scott so maybe I should give him a pass.

What is even more laughable is that he decided to keep the secret. Wha?! I guess it would make Abigail very upset. She's so weak that she can't handle anything? I guess this is epic but yeah I laughed. Then after Chad woke up he did explain why he did it. Apparently what he did wasn't that big of a deal because Chad had gone out on a date with Abigail and kiss her. So faking a brain tumor that your sister died from is a completely legitimate thing to do.

Everyone else was awesome. Kristen was pissed at Sami because she didn't call her. I know I should be pissed but after volunteer girl explained that that is what families are like during situations like this, I understood. Kristen was scared and angry and lashing out. Sami did have some valid points about Stefano being the one to blame. After all it was his ego that caused this mess in the first place.

Joseph Mascolo was great in this hospital chapel scenes. I loved it! He finally said things that many people have been waiting 30 years for him to say. Will he change? I think it might try it for a month but something will happen to make him resort to his old ways. That's what E.J. does. Still Mr. Mascolo played his heart out in those scenes. He doesn't get to show how great of an actor he is at all so it's great to see it.

I kind of laughed at how Chad recovered so quickly from something that pretty much killed him for ten minutes. He was dead until Daniel did his thing! Are we supposed to think that he would be fine. It took me a month to recover from a hernia operation a few years ago and those are routine! Abby was even resting her head on his chest. He should pretty much be dead because of that!

Is Chad going to die? We know his portrayer has already left. So it's looking like he might leave town in disgrace after Abby finds out about his fake brain tumor.

I thought that I would end with a video. This is from 2011 during the last Dimera/Kiriakis war. This was the last time he was shot and he certainly acted like it was in pain this time. Of course he was shot in the arm and that probably doesn't feel very good. It was also an excuse for Casey Deidrick not to have a shirt on. Also it's a link because the video thing to embed this was an ass and the video would not show up. So yeah it's a link that opens in a new window. I don't think that the straight, bi and gay men will have a probably with that. You know the 3 people that might look at this blog.
