Flashbacks Galore - What a Bore It Made Me Snore!

Why is "Days of our Lives" reverting back to filling time with flashbacks? Every episode last week had at least two flashbacks. I was starting to think we were going to have a flashback from an inanimate object or, perish the thought, a gloved hand again!

Seriously, we do not need a flashback of something that happened like an hour ago? I understand if it was from an episode a week ago, but for the most part, they used one from the day before! We got it. We saw the episode. Who cares if someone missed a day, the viewers are (mostly) smart enough to figure it out!

Oh and how long has Roman been buried alive with no oxygen? I mean Sydney Bristow almost didn't survive her premature burial and she was under there for like 10 hours. How long has Roman been under? He should be dead by now, I'm sure, but whatever I can let that go. What I can't let go is the fact that Bo thinks letters will tell them where Roman is, how the heck will letters written 50 years or so ago help find Roman?!? That is insane!

Anyway, here is an example of how a flashback should be used and a way to figure out where Roman is:
In Monday's episode Bo and Abe had this exchange:



Bo : Hey, man. I followed André down to the piers near the old warehouses.









Abe : You know, the clock's ticking on Roman. You be careful.

Now if Bo had added that Andre was wearing Willy's (the police officer) outfit.

Then, Abe could have reacted and had a flashback to when he let Andre, who he thought was Willy, take the coffin to the burial site. And made a remark like "oh no, that is the time Roman disappeared. Maybe it was Andre that I sent to the burial site. Maybe it wasn't an empty coffin we buried." Dramatic music plays…See now, wouldn't that be a logical thought process and good use of a flashback?

Oh and another thing. Is anyone concerned about Willy? Is he alive? Did Andre really kill him or just knock him out? Is anyone searching for him?
