One of the biggest missteps of Kate Oates tenure at EE (but then again there's been many), is the turning Ben Mitchell into Walford's very own Aaron Dingle.

Yes this, especially the scenes regarding Zack/Ben in the pub this past week. But maybe that's just her persona?

The benefits of being ABC's only soap.

The family therapy scenes were really well written. I hope there's another one so we can get even meatier scenes. I'm liking the kind of family the Branning's have turned out to be on the square. Looked at some spoilers for the upcoming weeks, looking forward to Kathy getting more of the spotlight as well. If there's one thing the current TPTB have gotten right it's that they've finally given Kathy a life, and showing her react to stuff. At one point it seemed she was simply brought back, and then swept off into the background, and only allowed to react to certain situations depending on episode guarantees.

I swear Todd is one of the reasons I'm gay.😂 Had such a huge crush on him when I was a preteen in the 2000s.

Oh wow. Rest in peace. Definitely defined the 90s.

The girl that plays Amy is quite talented. I actually liked the fallout of Denise's affair reveal; it having a ripple affect across the square. When Ravi visited Nish and Suki after the birthday party was the only time I found Nish intimidating.

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery Eric. ♥️ Daytime has already lost enough legends for the past year or so.

I think it was more the 94/95 season, but once DAYS and the possession dominated headlines and attracted eyeballs, there were a variety of soaps that tried to create their own kind of success from that type of storytelling.

The show should have had SH continue doing Susan (she wasn't bad) and Eileen play Kristen, if Ron and Ken are so determined to keep both actresses.

They're saying that Dems should run on that interview with Trump, because it was a MAJOR train wreck, and quite telling as how out of it he is regarding national and global issues. (Surprise 🙄)

I can't believe Ron has seemingly bungled Bo's return.

Caleb being Frank Tate's son was totally unnecessary. The show will stop at nothing to avoid bringing on characters such as Joe, Jamie, and Jean; and having all three of them driving story. Such wasted opportunity.

Omg such a loss. 💔 She was a class act.

If it's not Bo, then Ron will probably say it's a clone of Bo. 🙄

Right. I'm slightly invested, primarily because I want to see the fallout from her being found out. If Phyllis doesn't get any comeuppance from this, which is in form for JG, I'll be severely disappointed.

She had first called Steve, during his confrontation with Megan at ISA headquarters, but the call was not going through. So she called Stephanie next.

Rest in Peace Rita Lakin. You were one of the greats. Wish she had written for other soaps like GL or GH later on.

Right. If anything, I definitely think it would've eventually led up to a Clyde Weston murder mystery (again like Curtis), and Kate being one of the suspects. Oh well, just another one to add to the massive list of dropped stories on DAYS.

It seriously seemed like Jordan/Ben/Clyde were going to be a Austin/Billie/Curtis redux under Tomlin, but Jordan/Ben/Clyde intentions changed each writer that followed.

So it's just going to be a male cast only? LOL Appears that way, and wouldn't put it past Ron 😂

Same.

Good news, but can we give Ron the pink slip before the 60th anniversary? 😩

Its funny how the show decided to go this route with Nicholas's exit, instead of simply having him go to jail for Hayden's shooting (which will never be resolved). The show could have had some meaty scenes between Spencer and Nik before he was shipped off.

Ron is trying to pull a "Xander" with the character of Li. He thinks he can find success a 3rd, 4th, time (seeing as how he's down this type of thing with other campy/psycho villains).
