As Theresa came down from her ecstasy trip (or whatever it was she took) on Days of our Lives, Brady Black patronized her by saying she was the strongest woman he’d ever met. Did he mean it, or was he just humoring a stoned woman? If he was humoring her, then no harm, no foul. But if Brady truly meant it, we’d like to nominate three ladies he forgot, who deserve the title much more than Theresa.
Ex Marks the Spot
Brady’s (Eric Martsolf) ex, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) overcame an abusive childhood. Theresa (Emily O’Brien) was raised by the ridiculously understanding and forgiving Kimberly (Patsy Pease) and Shane (Charles Shaughnessy). In just the past few weeks, Nicole has lost her newborn son and is now sitting vigil at the bedside of her comatose daughter (refresh your memory on that here).
Theresa is also upset about a comatose Holly (Ashley Puzemis). But only as it applies to Theresa’s precious baby boy, Tate (Jamie Martin Mann). Theresa was so upset about Tate that she decided to get high. Nicole is staying strong for Holly. Remind us who the stronger woman is here, again?
Like a Mother
Brady’s stepmother, Marlena (Deidre Hall), loved and raised Brady — even during his teen years when he decided to be obnoxious to her for no apparent reason. Marlena lost a child, she lost her twin sister, she lost — and regained — multiple husbands, she’s been kidnapped, fallen into a coma, and died and came back from the dead. A couple of times. And let’s not forget about being possessed by the Devil. All without the self-pitying spiral Theresa subjected Brady — and us — to.
Brought To You By
And then there’s Maggie (Suzanne Rogers). She gave up her daughter for adoption. She lost husband Mickey and, more recently, husband Victor (John Aniston). She lost her son, Daniel (Shawn Christian), and is always there for her hot mess of a daughter, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Oh, and Maggie is a recovering alcoholic, who goes out of her way to help others with substance abuse issues. Does Theresa do…any of that?
Yeah. Brady had to be humoring her.
