Ugh. Sonny isn't actually on my bad list. It's only when he interacts with the DA. Or possibly Britt, but I don't know if they have ever interacted lol

Holly's room was at the dorms. Holly/Ari ruined their first room with the fire and have to face disciplinary action, but they were relocated to a different room. Ari was just getting her dry cleaning done to get the smoke out of her clothes. Ari never had any plans of leaving the dorm-just relocating. She asked Sophia to help her and everything.

I think she has a fanbase. I never thought she was anything special, but Frank made her this faux gay icon with snarky comments, gave her the Britch nickname and she got Steve Burton to take off his shirt. In the recent era I would say she was popular, maybe? She certainly would be on any top 100 GH character list. Maybe top 100 of the last ten years lol.

Lol! That's ridiculous and so GH. I don't think he's mad about the Charlotte stuff. From what I remember it was never brought up on screen by Rocco. He and Charlotte seem close and it doesn't feel like he's angry at Lulu either. Rocco doesn't even strike me as a rebellious teen. The show is legitimately peddling the idea that Britt is his mother.

You know I could almost see the Rocco thing if he was looking for a mother figure after Sam died and Lulu was still in a coma. But at this point he's more interested in Britt than his own mother that was in a coma for however many years. You could almost see the wheels turning in Nathan's head thinking "Who is this person?" lol. Ric was pretty funny as were the other ladies. I still think Ava, Alexis, Kristina and Ric deserve better than this wacky story-and yet I am still enjoying it.

I know. I can't believe Rocco was dining with THEM. I genuinely hate the entire clan!!!! @DRW50RH's delivery did make me laugh too. I wasn't expecting that.

It would have been an improvement probably? Idk, JPS is a big part of the issue. I don't know if anyone could make the writing for the character work though. It was just a thought. I don't think CM is particularly a good fit for AJ or anything. You could tweak just a few things about Drew's return and make it AJ's. Not that it was a good story anyway though lol.

Same. I'll always wonder what happened to make both JMM and Madeline Kientz bolt so early on. The story would be much better if they were still around.

I would assume Belle hates Melinda too since Eric's her brother and Jude's her nephew lol. I like Melinda too, but I don't know if that's a popular opinion overall. The show uses her so rarely I think her feelings and motivations get lost in the shuffle. It would be nice if the show fleshed the character out a bit more. Leo Howard really does have trouble playing anger and the guy playing Aaron isn't much better. I don't mind Tate forgiving Aaron so quickly, but I didn't like Holly, Tate, and Aaron planning to gang up on Sophia and take her down. The men should both speak to her privately. Holly can be mad about what was done to her, but the baby is not any of her business.

I wouldn't go back to Warlock either. Aside from the fact Billy seems happily retired, he looks too old to be AJ from recent pics. I think he's very talented and he looks great for 64, but the 6- or 7-year gap in age between him and Kanan is more noticeable than it used to be. If you can't get SK, I would recast again with someone closer in age to Kanan or Burton. I wonder if the show ever considered CM as an AJ recast instead of Drew. Not that I am advocating that idea, I am just curious.

I am more of the mind of getting rid of Valentin completely lol

Again, I don't think Matt Borlenghi would have been better, but he wasn't given a chance at all lol. And JPS isn't bad as an actor, even as a sinister character, but the Billy Joel piano playing, crying and papa stuff is just....it's a no. Helena was scared of that? She would have grabbed Alexis's dagger and killed him years ago.

THE MOST DANGEROUS CASSADINE EVER. Okay, GH. You had like 10 years to figure that gem out and came up with JPS crying? Cool.

Despite my issue with Charlotte's existence, I do think this actress is decent. I would imagine the old actress would sing Papa can you hear me? outside Lulu's window every night. 😂

I am surprised JPS didn't shed a tear and say, "No more Papa?'' Sniffle, sniffle.

I think Britt marching up to Lucas's table and telling Marco what a horrible human being Lucas is was more of a laugh. Like, hey, Britt maybe you're the problem and Brad won't call you because you are awful. I don't really mind Lucas being "protective". I am not sure if they were playing the Ric plot and reveal as a joke, but Cody and I have the same thought. Everyone is crazy and I am grabbing my dog and leaving.

That's actually a solid theory. It's strange she's so completely hands off Sophia now. I could see if she was just so disappointed in Sophia giving the baby up, but she seems fine with it? Idk, she hasn't been on since she saw Baby T, right? When she was supposed to be on Johnny's murder trial jury?

Thank you! 1 out of 3 isn't bad. She's been off for a day? Two? lol. With a weekend in between that's a welcome respite.

Amy Choi used to be around all the time. It's odd she's almost completely disappeared. Her dad has never been seen, but he was mentioned looking around Chicago to find Sophia when she was "in labor". Sophia has 2 younger brothers according to what we have heard and the assumption is that her parents are still married. Boyd is comedically awful, but I am assuming the show is phasing her out. She's losing her mind, turned villain, and Tate isn't the father.

I don't think it makes sense. I believe Tony wanted both and was willing to pay something for Titan and the family declined and settled on giving Tony the Dimera company back. You would think someone like Shin at least would have some say.

As most of have said numerous times, it was very dumb to kill AJ off. SK's return was basically universally praised. I know RC had issue with the character and Kanan, but there was no need to brutally murder him by Sonny no less. If RC/FV wanted to get rid of Sean so badly they could have recast, had him fall off the wagon, or leave town when he was getting heat for Konnie's murder. At least keep an AJ return in your back pocket. It's telling people still mention this mistake 10-12 years later and still have strong feelings, while Britt/Nathan have been discussed a handful of times since they left lol.

Yes. I am thankful the Leo/Marlena friendship has been dropped. My understanding is that they gave Dimera back as well. Why else would everyone in the Kiriakis family being pooling their own personal resources to keep Titan afloat?

Marlena was getting lunch with Belle. Belle was running late. They said it yesterday and in today's episode. EJ was meeting his mother for lunch. EJ plopped himself down next to Marlena in yesterday's episode. Her behavior wasn't inconsistent. She answered his questions about Rachel and visibly was uncomfortable with him. She was also very short with him when she left the pub. I don't know where you are getting that they are cordial? Sarah and Xander were at the park and brought Victoria back home and then went to Marlena's session. It wasn't first thing in the morning.

Nathan was played out before he even appeared😂

Marlena said Rachel's therapist is a child's therapist. I suppose that doesn't mean a lot in Days world, but she did specify that. I am not much of a Sarah/Xander fan either and it falls under a couple that has great chemistry but keep making the same mistakes. Either Sarah lies, has a medical issue, or Xander does something illegal. It gets tedious, but it's probably the most popular couple on the show in awhile. I think at the very least trying to work out their problems through therapy is a lot better than love just wins in the end, which is the normal trope.
