Missy Reeves Interview--Mentions Campaign Story

[paxton]

This is interesting--I wonder what it is they drag out, and if it's about Nicole's porn past I will be pissed:

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: I'm also really enjoying your election story line, almost as a nice balance to the romantic intrigue.
Melissa Reeves: Ooh... yeah. Yeah.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: What is your role going to be like, going forward? Are you going to get your tendrils further into the the election?
Melissa Reeves: Yeah, it's going to continue, and it's going to get a little bit dirty. Jennifer and Abe (James Reynolds) get into some territory that they should not be in. They keep saying, "Okay, well it's for the greater good, we can't let EJ (James Scott) be mayor of this town!"

I can't really go into anything, but Jennifer and Abe were such upstanding citizens of Salem! [Laughter.] To cross over into territory they shouldn't be in--it wouldn't make Tom or Alice proud, I'll tell you that.

Just getting information from other people is so great, it helps the character--but in the mayoral campaign--this is something you would never think of doing! And I can't say what it is. But they convince themselves... they know it's not right, but "we we have to do this, we have to do it because EJ cannot be mayor of this town!" And that's been hard to play, but fun at the same time. There is a side of it where you think, "this is so fun!" [Laughter.] Because we would never do this in real life.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: It sounds like a part of you're job you really enjoy.
Melissa Reeves: Yeah! I mean, it's bad! So Jim and I have had a blast. We've been cracking up, just saying, "Oh my gosh, Jennifer and Abe, of all people?" It's pretty fun. But there will be consequences.

They better not drudge up Nicole's porn past. That pisses me off more then anything when characters throw that in her face.

Tfp Paxton!

[paxton]

I actually don't really think they will do that--not as a scheme, anyway, not like cutting in clips of Locker Room Lolita during an EJ campaign video or something. I would guess it's something more like tampering with votes, though OTOH that would be more than "a little bit" dirty. Sounds like it could be interesting, though.

Well, there's plenty of dirt between EJ and Nicole. Maybe Jen stumbles up on the whole beastsex mess and doesn't realize the consequences of opening that Pandora's box? You have EJole, then the beast and Rafe, but if they find out about Will being blackmailed because he's gay....he can really have the ultimate coming out- whether he wanted it or not.

I would think the playing dirty wouldnt be about Nicole because there's no one for it to affect other than her....and EJ because he's married to her?

[jenjolt]

Oh boy...I really hope it's not about bringing up Nicole's past but Jen already threw it in her face once....if this is the way the writer's go...I may even be more upset about this than beastly smex...unless of course Nicole is FINALLY allowed to fight back and tell the whole town the truth of what really went down. (Okay a little fuzzy, EJ knows what Nicole's father did right?!?)

[shavemedusa]

Almost anything about Nicole's "bad" past can be turned to their favor. She has been through so much abuse If Ej and Nicole are smart about it then them dragging up her porn past could actually bite abe and jen in the ass which they would totally deserve. Maybe they will bring up Sydny's kidnapping but Ej has forgiven her and sami lets her see the child so I don't know where they're going with that and Ej hasn't ever been charged with anything so I can only imagine they will drag out his affair which will be very hurtful to both Ej and Nicole but then there is Lexie's past soooooo OK no more babbling Unless they make Ej and Nicole stupid I can't see this working for Abe and jen

[greta2242]

Abe wanted to be close to Brandon a few months back and swore he was looking out for the Walker sisters. If it's the porn that she was sold into when she was underage, Abe is kissing his son goodbye. So I don't think it's Nicole's past. It's more likely EJ's and his crazy mother as that's the mystery.

[jade22]

I was commenting on this on SOC when someone said Jen should bring up Nicole's porn past.

If Jennifer brings this up then Nicole should call the FBI and inform them that Jen, Abe, & Lexie have been watching child pornography and need to be arrest.

I want to see Nicole tell off every last Salemite that brings up the fact that she was an abused & drugged child forced to make a porn movie by her own father yet like to call her a porn star. Then Nicole can tell that she's proud of who she is. She's a survivor and maybe she has made bad choices and lots of mistakes but at least she owns up to them and she'll be damn before the sanctimonious citizens of Salem make her feel ashamed.
*climbing off soapbox*

[jenjolt]

Step back up on that box!!! I say AMEN to everything you just said!

[tinkerbelle]

I agree, it makes me extremely angry when they bring up Nicole's past. The only good thing would be if they did and EJ got really angry and defended Nicole and Nicole stood up for herself, and said you know what my father drugged me and forced me to do porn and you're bringing it up and use it against me, shame on you! It could be interesting if done right. But I really don't think that's what it is.

[sandra]

I love Nicole.....thanks for this interview..

[ejonna]

Maybe they bring up the fact that Nicole switched babies which leads a nurse who was working at Dr. B's clinic to step up and say...UH-UH...that's not what REALLY happened :-) BRING ON SYDOLE!!!!

[angie37]

Abe shouldn't do too much preaching considering some of "bad" Lexie's past deeds, one of which also involved a child that didn't belong to her. Love Lexie, just saying that those in glass houses should be careful about picking up those stones...

By the way, I love me some evil/scheming Ejole and hope they keep it up against the good citizens of Salem.
