Kristen DiMera managed to wriggle her way out of jail on Days of our Lives — as all criminals do in Salem — and her first act was to go annoy Brady Black and Chloe Lane. Is that really a good idea?
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) claims she wants nothing more than to be reunited with her precious daughter Rachel Isabella DiMera Black, who is currently with her brother Tate Donovan Black and Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley) out west but is this really the best way to do it?
Exactly half of you, 50% of the audience, are wagging your fingers at Kristen, telling her to behave…or else she could lose access to Rachel for good. As it is, courts don’t love to hand over visitation rights, much less custody, to mothers who’ve done time in prison.
And dads like Brady (Eric Martsolf) aren’t moved to let women who’ve just taunted and harassed them and their girlfriend at work stop by to visit the kid whenever they feel like it. Kristen better watch herself. Or she’ll lose the thing she supposedly cares about the most. Almost makes us think she might have another agenda.
A smaller 35% of fans think Kristen should only worry about behaving well enough to stay out of jail — nothing else. Brady may hate her, but he can’t legally keep her from Rachel forever.
Kristen has been pardoned! Her record has been wiped spotless! There’s no reason why she can’t get joint custody of Rachel, as long as she keeps her nose clean. Just don’t commit any major crimes, and you’re golden.
Forget Rachel, forget Brady, forget being a good girl, 15% of viewers instruct. A good Kristen is a boring Kristen, and we are not here for that. Kristen is only fun when she is scheming and plotting. We frankly don’t care if she gets to read bedtime stories to her kid. We care a lot more about whose bed she’ll turn up in next.
