Colleen Brady, long thought to be dead from her suicide numerous years ago, passed away in today's episode. Let's face it - that was pretty much the most important part of the episode. Everyone crowds around Colleen as she tells them how much she loves them and is sorry that she has had so little time with them. She calls out for her brother Shawn and apologizes yet again for everything.
The other thing about the episode is a marked change in John, though it's a slight change. John actually displays just a little bit of emotion in this episode in that when Colleen passes and nobody is looking he calls her Mom and wishes her goodbye - and then after kissing her, he has a little bit of a cry.
Didn't see that one coming, honestly. I don't know what to make of the whole Brady disappearance. I seriously am starting to think that the Brady disappearance is just their way of stalling until they can get the actor to agree to come over to Days. What do you think?

hadn't thought of that (in regards to Brady)....
but, as for Colleen, i was surprised that she dropped such a "bombshell" (not that ANY viewer didn't see it coming that she was John's mother), but I am surprised that in one viewing week (real time) she died. I was so hoping for more story with her.
