Speaking of Phyllis's pairing with younger men, has MS shared any scenes with JT's Billy yet? Or are we supposed to forget Billy and Phyllis were a thing since GT is no longer in the role.

Add me to one of the few who find Xander and Sarah one of the few bright spots on the show. 

Has anyone noticed a slight improvement with the background music? 

Politico is reporting that Kamala Harris has dropped out

Something is starting to tell me that Justin isn't the most stable guy on the planet...

The time jump turned out to be the best that DAYS could do these days, budget constraints, this weak team of writers, etc. 

That's not saying much, as my standards were pretty low going into this.  Hated RSWs acting. Loved having fierce Nicole back for the first half of the episode. Kind of wished Nicole and Eric had broken up and she was back to her old self, but alas I was wrong. 

I guess Jack and Abby were too focused on Jen to notice J.J.s life downspirialing out of control? Jack I can possibly understand though, but the other folks in his life who have seen this before? 

Re-Ron strikes again, Ben is set up for another crime, like the fire, and we are forced to sympathize for him for being set up. 

Really enjoyed today's episode. 

The scenes of Jennifer being held captive are far from menacing when you realize she's being held in the blue room. 

I think the Kate and Madison rivalry had great potential. Madison as a character had potential.

Anthony Morina as EP doesn’t bother me at all really other than the fact he’s rubber stamps all of Griffith’s garbage. 

 

 

That's my only problem with his tenure. And I don't believe nor he or Josh have any clear vision for the show.

Mal had his faults including that super long boring, JT storyline. But IMO, he wrote the young people (with an exception being Summer) way better than Josh is doing. Underneath Mal of the young people were actually interesting and viable, including the young men. Josh is writing this young set very poorly. Lola actually got even worse underneath Josh and the young men are not written well.

I actually agree with this. The younger set were intriguing under him, and Summer/Kyle/Lola were interesting. 

Josh is trying to reset the show back to when he last wrote it. Dude move on. 

So what's with this conversation taking place on Days today about racism and political correctness???

That's a great way to watch. The reveal and fallout have been decent. Even somewhat enjoyable. But all the months of sitting through the mask #$@&%*! wore me out. 

 

 

Lol that's exactly how I watch DAYS. Climaxes only. 

Did not watch it when it originally aired but just the snippet of what I've seen of Jingles the Clown on Somerset sends shivers down my spine. This was another story penned by the incredible Henry Slesar! It starts at 24:55 

Well since nobody is watching might as well go all the way...

With Griffith at the helm expect nothing but disappointment with MM return. 

I think Turner has had a rocky start, as the writing and Turner's acting choices make me wish Kathryn Harold was still in the role. 

Wheeler took a buzzsaw to GL yes, but before everything went to hell, she did create some nice buzz surrounding the show and it also seemed like the actors were trying a lot more under her than her predecessor.  It's a shame she squandered that. 

Having Robert go after Victoria's rapist (which is currently playing out on screen) is a good way to write him off, as Robert's anger always get the best of him. Send him off after either attempting to kill Lee.

Yeah, the P&G soaps (primarily GL and AW, ATWT was close) were in a competition of trying to become the most violent, misogynistic, trashy display of daytime television around this time. 

Having a lighthearted comedic character (which is what Nadine was at the time) succumb to such violence was tasteless and is on the same level of Frankie's death on AW (interestingly, didn't these happen within one year of another?).

 

That's an interesting perspective there on JER's departure and how it affected the show. 

 

^Exactly. I'm not looking forward to this either.

The episodes dealing with the aftermath were pretty solid IMO. Great acting from those that play Zak, Belle, and Cain. 

Who knows that might be changing, I have a feeling Callum/Whitney are going to be swept up into the Ben drama, one way or another.
