How's that primetime series doing that he's on? Or, is it still on? I think all I remember is a Wyoming mountain of some sort? 

The ratings aren't good and even if they were, his character is dead anyways. He was only in it for 3-4 episodes. 

If he's gone, then I'll likely be as well. He's one of the few reasons to watch the show.

I don't even like Alex with Sonny. Sonny is being wasted just so RSW has a job. Sonny is the same guy who changed his life to help his brothers run his mother Foundation. Now poof! they've never got along. 

Chad comes off much older than Stephanie on screen. I'm not sure if its the facial hair or what....but I don't want Stephanie anywhere near Ben 2.0.

Chanel and Allie are dull as hell. It should be Sonny and Will talking about having a threesome instead of them.

Yes, the writing is awful and the show is very boring too.

 

I agree they are wasting Sonny. Both Will and Sonny expressed some concerns about their long distance marriage this week, so maybe this is heading for a divorce or legal separation, but this current set up of Zach being on full time and Chandler popping in every 6-8 weeks is NOT working. As much as I love this version of WilSon, they need to either break them up and give Sonny a new love interest (that's NOT Leo) or recast Will. 

If they want Alex to work in the long term, they need to drop the "Quagmire from Family Guy" aspect and focus on his bond with his brother Sonny for a while, that's the one aspect of the character that works. The only time I enjoy Alex is in scenes with Sonny. RSW and Zach work very well together. 

Chad and Stephanie have no chemistry and it is way too soon for a kiss. This whole Chad/Stephanie/Alex triangle is awful. Am I the only one when Chad was describing Stephanie felt like that fit Sonny more? If DAYS wasn't so damn chicken, THAT's the direction they should be heading. 

Then the stuff with Allie and Chanel is so offensive. 

Overall the writing on this is not only bad, but boring. 

I have a slightly different opinion. So I do think the show has improved and is far more watchable on a day to day basis. Under Jon Sen, I EE was nearly unwatchable by the end. 

However, I find Chris Clenshaw's tenure so far very boring. The only story I find bad is the Linda/Mick/Janine triangle, but there also isn't any stories that are amazing that makes me want to tune in and talk about the show everyday. There's no A list story to hook me in and get excited. It's early yet, but so far, I'm not all that impressed by what he'd done so far. The show feels average, which isn't good enough in this age. 

I haven't posted in a while, mostly because I think DAYS is really bad. This week has been especially awful, but today's episode, I will admit I was shocked when Allie point blank asked Will if he and Sonny have ever had a threesome. I knew Allie was going to think about it for her and Chanel, but was not at all expecting Allie to ask Will.  

Will's non answer of "I can't talk about it without Sonny" heavily implies they may have had threesomes. That's the most interesting thing DAYS has revealed about Sonny and Will in years. Now that the show is on streaming, I hope they explore that more.

I hope so. With Chandler not being able to work full time, I've been worried that Sonny was cheat on Will with Leo and that would break them up. I'm hoping that if Sonny cheats, it's at least with Paul or Andrew. 

Agreed. I have no issues with the show giving Sonny a hot affair story, but not with Leo.  It should be with Paul, Andrew or someone new. Hell, I'd take Sonny with Evan over Leo. Leo needs to go. 

That Sonny, Will and Leo scene better be a dream sequence or misdirection. Just the idea of them hooking up is gross. Leo sexually assaulted him!  Sonny forgiving and covering for him this week was bad enough. What's the bullshit reason that Leo's staying at the Kiriakis mansion? 

I'm shocked Gwen wasn't in either promo version (unless I somehow missed her) 

What also I don't see being talked about much. That scene where Justin and Alex is in some sort of cabin, where it looks like someone is tied up and then Bonnie comes in. What's that about? I'd LOVE it if it's Justin finding out that Adrianne is alive after all. 

So I was rewatching Season 1 of Beyond Salem and I noticed all the episodes say they expire in 13 days, while season 2 doesn't.  Seems odd they'd remove season 1 just as the mothership is moving over. Errol, can you confirm if the episodes are leaving soon? 

This show. Spending so much time redeeming two characters that most viewers don't like or give a damn about. Gwen and Leo.  This isn't the Young and the Restless.  They both need to go. They are destroying Jack as a character. Matt Ashford looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Not that I blame him.  

The Sarah and Xander should be mad. They got how many failed wedding and the for the successful one, it was that sorry and sad affair. Where's the payoff in that? 

The Leo and Sonny scenes today was beyond stupid. First, there would have been guards stationed outside Sonny's room. Two, there's almost no way Leo would have been to dress himself as a nurse and not get caught. This isn't campy fun, it's dumb. Why is Sonny giving him the time of day and not only quick to forgive Leo? Why is Sonny covering for the guy that falsely accused him of harassment, then sexuality assaulted him?  Even though Leo took away the call button, I'm supposed to believe Sonny wouldn't yell for security?  Also where the hell is Will? Is he taking a dump or something, because there's is NO way I'd believe he'd leave Sonny's bedside that quickly, especially after being away for months. 

As someone who likes Nicole and Eric as a couple this story is making me hate them. I've over this sex dream nonsense and Nicole obsession. I felt like Chloe was speaking for me today.  

I hate Bonnie. Swapping Adrienne for her was a big mistake. 

The Sonny stuff was the only thing interesting today. Thank goodness for Zach Tinker, if Freddie was still in the role, I'd probably be rooting for the knife. 

Does anyone care except for Ron that Leo might be getting framed?  I do see some theories that it IS Leo who killed Abby and stabbed Sonny but he doesn't remember or has a split personality. It'd take that theory if it means getting rid of Leo. 

I've been a Ron Carlivati fan for a long time and defended him on occasion over the years, but he needs to go. This show is terrible and reading the fall previews, nothing coming up sounds good either. I actually think this show can survive on Peacock, but not with Ron in charge. It's time to hand the keyboard over to someone else. 

Zach looked amazing in the plum suit today. Not a lot of people can pull that off, but hot damn. They better make that a regular in Sonny's wardrobe. 

Interesting. If DAYS was doing that terrible, you'd think the affiliates would be happy with this news. 

Also...

I know DAYS films so far ahead, but they need to take advantage of the less restrictions. Have some swearing and more risky dialogue. Show some nudity. Tell stories NBC wouldn't allow you to do at 1pm. 

Holy [!@#$%^&*]! I expected this eventually, but not this soon. 

Looks my guess was right! Sonny offered to have Chad move in after J&J leave.  Not sure I agree with Sonny that uncle Vic would be happy. He'd normally hate Dimeras staying at the mansion. 

So with Chad moving out the Dimera Mansion, he's going to move into Sonny's bed, I mean the Kiriakis mansion, isn't he? 

The neck tie killer joke didn't work for me either. Hopefully that's it and we don't get one every episode. I also didn't like how they seemed to imply Adrienne wasn't Alex's mother. It's always been said they thought of each other as mother and son. 

While some things were a bit over the top, overall I did like Alex. Despite RSW's limited range, I do think Alex can be a fun character with potential. I don't hate it. 

I also noticed the big cut on Sonny's shoulder too. I wonder how it happened? Also Zach's butt looked great in those pants... 

They also need to swap out Bonnie for Adrienne. I don't care how, it just needs to happen. Can't stand Bonnie. 

At least they getting the Ben and necktie killer jokes out of the way early. 

I hated Jake, so him getting shot by a lame mugging by a random dayplayer seems quite fitting. 

I do also wonder if Evan and Sonny are ever going to share a scene. They haven't crossed paths at all since Zach started on the mothership.

As much as I hated Will being recast these scenes with Will and Paul were hot!

 

That and playing a corpse after Ben strangled him to death was the only two noteworthy things he did as his stint as Will. 

I loved Derrick the bell hop! Zach Tinker is either roommates or friends with Spencer Neville that played Derrick. Depending on how busy he is, they could get him back on the show. 

I also loved Brian, played by Brant Daugherty. We were supposed to root for Sonny and Will to get together, but I personally thought Brian was a much better catch. Sonny was stupid to reject him. 

I wish Evan wasn't so stupid. You could make him WilSon's "Kristen". Someone who is obsessed/in love with Sonny, that will stop at nothing to get him back and build a life with him.  Sonny and Will don't have a villain like that. All they have is Leo.

@wingwalker

Could say?

Were you watching back then?

It was written all over Will's face. 

Yes, Chandler played it that way, but the show never had Will actually say or tell anyone he had a crush on Chad.  Same with EJ and Will, Chandler clearly played it as Will crushing on EJ, but the show didn't confirm that until last year when Johnny said Will had a crush on his dad because Will was way too descriptive of EJ's naked body in the EJ/Abby shower scene he wrote for the movie script.

As I watched those emotional scenes between Sonny and Chad I couldn't help but think to myself if one of them was a woman you could almost bet their friendship would become sexual within months.

This has all the classic soap elements of one friend seeking comfort in the arms of a friend that unexpectedly goes to a level that neither one of them expected and yet reveal feelings and emotions that was always there just hidden underneath the surface.

It would open up doors story wise - if written with insight, care, intelligence and bold frankness - that would probably make for one of the most compelling storylines DAYS has given us in a long, long time. God knows the chemistry between Billy Flynn and Zach Tinker is definitely there is make this story highly believable.

And for those fans who would have issues with Chad engaging in a sexual relationship with Sonny, it wouldn't surprise me they are the same fans who we're more than willing to accept the absurd idea that Will would befriend Ben and be his best man at his wedding. If they can accept that, they shouldn't have any problem at seeing Chad exposing his sexuality. And if they do - so what.

At this point the show had nothing to lose. Bite the bullet. Be bold. Be daring. Be controversial. God knows if written correctly this story would grab people's attention.

On a superficial note Zach's arms are BUFFED!! Throughout their scenes those arms were seriously distracting - in a good, delicious type way!!

My thoughts exactly. We've seen this play out with an man and woman friendship, but never two guys. Going there with Chad and Sonny would make so much sense, especially if they wrote it with care. Billy and Zach have both the chemistry and acting talent to pull this off. 

Plus, all the drama of when people find out. Will for example, not only will he be devastated Sonny cheated, but with someone he never would have suspected or been worried about, his own friend, Chad. If they wanted to make "Chill" canon, they could even say that young closeted Will had a major crush on Chad once upon a time. 

There's so many stories they could spin off from this.
