Yeah, I would agree quite a few things happened today, but they will probably replay all the last scenes on Monday anyhow.

Considering Kristen just found out last week that clinical trials and FDA approval take a long time, I just don't think knowing Rolf is that helpful for Dimera. Being on the board? Sure. Being in charge? No.

I don't think the show was that self aware lol. There was just minimal effort in explaining what Kristen had done since she left.

Oh, you mean the time Kristen accidently sold herself into sex slavery? Lol, it was such a disgusting way for the character to go out. Everyone thought Kristen was dead (it was a 3rd Banks sibling), so Kristen decided to pretend to be Susan and tried to sell Susan into a harem. It backfired and somehow Kristen ended up being sold off instead. So offscreen Stefano eventually go Kristen out of said harem and she was just living in Europe off screen until she popped back up in Salem. The harem/sex slave stuff was touched on and Kristen was mad at several people about it even though it was her own stupid fault. Anyway, it was implied Kristen was abused both physically/sexually and was briefly a sex slave, but that whole plot point was glossed over to one or two conversations which is probably for the best.

Putting aside her crimes. What are her qualifications? She hasn't worked a real job in 30 years! What's on her resume? Ability to plot elaborate plans to harm others? Master at avoiding any real punishment? Surviving death multiple times? At least EJ is slightly plausible as a CEO. And, no, he's not plausible at all as the town's DA lol. I am not even going to bring Stefan into this because I don't know what he does besides sometimes own a restaurant.

I felt bad for Monaco. Knowing how upset she was about the firing, those scenes must have been tough to play. Don't feel bad about Sam though. I suppose it's a pretty noble way for the character to go out.

Yeah, I would assume that's the next beat of the story too. It's a lot easier than Xander giving up his entire company. I don't like any of Days business stories. They aren't interesting, make no sense, and I generally don't care who's running Titan or Dimera. At ALL. With Kristen's past, who in their right mind would let her run a multi-million dollar company in the first place? Her last job was a social worker in 1993. Not to mention the fact she's committed 1000 crimes since then lol.

It's a shame Molly and Kristina weren't there. I don't think Sonny or Carly were needed, especially Sonny.

That's actually kind of sweet if that's what it meant to her and Billy. But, yeah, some people looked really sad and some looked decidedly not lol. That's not the hand sign Kelly made though in the show today.

Lol. Tbh, I actually thought that's what she was going for at first. 🤣 And saw the love sign and knew in Kelly's heart she really wanted to just give everyone the finger instead.

You would think Xander would actually try to get Brady on his side to convince Kristen.

This is not absolving Ron and the horrible writing he gave Nancy, but I always thought the writing for Nancy in general throughout the years has been erratic at best. It seems like every writer has a different take on her. She teeters the line of villain and heroine and it definitely changes every time she reappears. Ron made her look dumb in the Craig/Nancy/Leo story and that was horrible. I just still don't have a clear take on who Nancy is at her core to this day.

Yeah, there are a million reasons to hate Scott Reeves and think he's an ugly person, but physically he's still good looking for his age. People actually seemed sad about Sam today and KeMo had more emotion. Could you imagine Carly/Sonny being the last people you see lol? Although I guess Jason coming in last minute was the most minimal effort for Jasam fans. I honestly find this Heather story ridiculous and ignore most of it, but they removed the faulty hip. And she's physically okay. Why does she still act wacky? Is she still mentally ill or just eccentric?

I am not a fan of Scott Reeves in anyway, but he's almost 60. I think he looks pretty good.🤷‍♀️

Interesting episode. Some scenes were quite good like Joy/Nancy and Chanel/Johnny, but there was not a single reason to have Leo on the show today. Bonnie/Leo spent, what, 3 scenes talking about how good Chanel's cake was? Ugh. I've liked what I have seen from the actress that plays Joy. We will see where this story goes. Since Seth Burns is my new MVP I had to laugh when Stephanie said they had met before in a one on one PR zoom meeting about the show and he said he still thought she was an actress anyway lol. What?

I don't disagree. She's just a bit more sleepy and dreary than usual lol. She was usually at 3% energy now she is at 1% lol. I feel bad for Jasam fans, but I don't know why Kelly couldn't just suck it up and do her job. If she hated it she could have left long ago. Actively tanking things is just making things worse for herself and her fans. Her own surprised reaction to her firing is obnoxious too. You were actively working against the material lol. I still think GH is missing some drama killing Sam off, but it's no loss in the end and that really stinks for a character we were forced to watch for 20 plus years.

Okay, I remember hearing about the Dogboy story I just didn't pay much attention. Interesting idea to bring him back, but like you said, so many useless characters have to go first.

Thanks! I could only find the actor's picture and his appearance dates. He seems to be younger than Robin, so I won't even ask how it all came about.

Okay. I don't mean to be stupid but who is Gabriel? Google is just giving the most minimal details.

Fair enough. I actually wouldn't mind GT as Skye because you know RC wasn't my vibe as Skye at all. I was just kidding, but we made the thread HOT so I guess our work here is done lol.

I am going to save this board and it's members from spamming 10,000 awesome Brenda scenes and will walk away from this battle. But Gina Tognoni is no Vanessa Marcil....... J/K I'll leave with just one clip

Haha! GH can try and GT would be laughed out of town. I think if EM and LH sparked a bit more she could have been long term. I mean, we still aren't rid of the Hernandez's on Days and they keep adding more lol

Don't even try to come for my girl. I mean you can but Brenda will remain above this. 2007 was the only year I was ever interested in Sam. And she was a villain. KeMo plays that the best. She got lost in the Days shuffle of everything, but Arianna wasn't awful.

My long-term hatred for Sam as one of the earlier Brendabots colors my opinion of the entire character. Sam has moved on and is her own character now, but someone on soaps needs to just hire LH full time. She just has a presence and likeability and KeMo has basically sleep walked through her performance for at least 15 years. Nope. Sorry. 🤣

You know I didn't mind Adam Huss...lol It would be a disservice to KeMo/Sam fans to just cut her out, but I at least think Hartley would have shown up and played the drama for all its worth.
