Who is this weird day player Ava and Nina are fawning over? Apologies if I should know him, but he doesn't appear to be an actor. That was a real waste of CW and MW's (and my) time

Lol. If the babies weren't all different ethnicities, I'd agree.

I think a Sophia baby, a Joy baby, and a Jada baby is a lot of babies in this moment lol. I actually wouldn't mind Shawn having another kid or Rafe finally get a first one though.

Exactly. Even if I thought Charlotte was a viable character there is nothing about the actress that is showing me she could sell a teen romance. She's no Kim Mc. GH would probably better served aging Georgie or something rather than trying to make Charlotte happen.

I would prefer Charlotte ending up on the run with Valentin again, we find out she never was Lulu's daughter, and everyone in town forgets both characters exist. I find Charlotte to be the most obnoxious child/teen on the show. Only Violet is worse. The actress isn't particularly strong and I doubt she could handle a believable teen romance even if Danny/Charlotte weren't related and Jake didn't already sort of date her.

I make fun of AS and the bedroom scenes all the time, but count me in as another person who thought she did well with the material yesterday. I have never thought Setton was a bad actress. She is just miscast for this role and this is a story Brook Lynn and Dante should never be playing, so I still stand by that.

J.J. has always been a bland character to me. Interchangeable with Tripp, Nathan, Max, Joey, Johnny and all the other handsome, mostly nice, bland white legacy guys the show casts. Obviously some characters are from different eras, but all the same mold. It's the same way I find Eric/Brady to be way too similar in personality. Mostly the same parents, same love interests, addiction issues, and monumental screw ups while being mostly decent guys. I feel like we have a bit more perspective on Shawn D because he did grow up on the show in real time and drove a lot of story back when Days was still decent. I think BB has taken a lot of bite out of the role, but Shawn/Belle have been sidelined for years. Outside of Casey Moss's first few stories-JJ's always been background to me.

I mean Drake wore that damn leather jacket for over a decade. It makes sense he has multiple.

I agree and from my understanding the show does quite well on Peacock. Although Peacock as a platform is another story. I don't know if the wardrobe will ever improve because I think a lot of it is at the actor's discretion. Characters like Stephanie, Jada, Chanel and Gabi often look very put together. And Deidre still has a matching suit set in every color whether we like or not lol. The men all dress very similar (besides Leo) and I am pretty sure JJ and Shawn were wearing the same leather jacket the other day lol. But I digress. My point is that you can very clearly see some actors dress how they like and not for their character on Days, but I suspect they are often wearing their own clothing tbh. The sets feel like a much larger issue, but I think Days needs to tell stories that work around that. Trying to recreate 90's stories and adventures doesn't work. Pretending elaborate weddings are happening with 5 people doesn't work. At this point Days needs to drop a few characters and focus on family and community drama that can be contained in the 5 sets they have.

She plays 2 characters so I doubled it in my mind.

She might get a few more bucks for 2 characters lol? Now I am imagining Emily just driving through LA going through Cher and the Kardashian's trash cans in hopes one wig will work.

Not for Days $10 wardrobe budget. Emily probably has to buy it herself lol

😂 Thank you!!!

If I ever stop posting here you all will know why.....😅

Lol! I am the guilty party. You get all your possessions back post prison when you leave as long as they are not like drugs, weapons, or evidence. They just lock that up when you are in the slammer and put it in a box or something. At least that's what tv and movies (not days) have taught me.

Looks the same I think. So, no. I do get the wig more now that EOB is coming back for both roles, I guess?

I fear for my own safety😂

I am pretty sure that member was ME! Sorry. I actually thought of you when she popped up today because I told you Theresa wasn't back. That's what happens when you have 1 actress playing two unrelated parts with only a bad wig to differentiate.

Oh, I probably worded my post wrong lol. I was trying to convey there were much more 'desirable' targets for Sonny's enemies than Gio. As in Gio would be low on the list of targets with all the other relatives in town. I wasn't trying to point out his family was fine.

So do you think Gio is more at risk than Sonny's known relatives, exes, etc at this point? I don't. I mean, he's probably at the same risk anyone who's in the same room as Sonny is. That's not great odds lol, but I don't think any enemy would specifically target Gio over more viable options at this current moment. I don't think Sonny knows either. Even if Lois confided in Sonny about this at one point he certainly didn't know Dante was his son when Gio was conceived and I don't believe Lois knew Sonny was Dante's father. Olivia was perceived as promiscuous and said she didn't know who the father was.

Ned was arguing with Lois about her constant defense of Sonny and said she was the one that convinced Brenda to wear a wire when she thought Sonny was being shady about his business. Lois backtracked a bit and said she looked through all the money he's given to Deception and it's clean. It was truly just a mention with no real context on the Brenda/Sonny situation. The wire convincing was a group effort, but it does make Lois look even more hypocritical. Ned was also being a little dense about the danger Gio would be in for taking Sonny's money. Like there are at least 10 known children, grandchildren, ex-wives, and relatives of Sonny's in a 5 mile radius. I am sure Gio is okay at this point.

******BRENDA MENTION******by Ned today. That's all.

The OTT reaction to Sonny when the show made it clear Sonny was just helping Gio didn't help at all. I would certainly consider Tracy to be rootable in many ways, but the writing is slanted against her. And her standing up for Stone and Karen? GTFO. You don't even know them lol and they are both long deceased. Not to mention she only sometimes cares about Jason. I also feel like there were times when Tracy has been downright friendly with Sonny during the Luke years.

I tend to agree. I think Tracy has every single right to hate Sonny. I just think her points were off today. If Tracy said you actually murder AJ never come near my property again I would support that. Sonny is a murderer. That's enough to hate him. Bringing up Sonny grooming people when her former husband did the exact thing with Laura just feels like the whole point is missed.

Stone just mostly ran errands for Sonny and then was a barback or busboy at Luke's. He never carried a gun. In fact, Sonny was pretty minor in the business when he took in Stone so Sonny may have had ambition to be a mob boss but wasn't really anything more than a mid tier mob associate/strip club owner at the time. Jason repeatedly asked Sonny for the job and Sonny was hesitant. I don't think he had ill intent for Jason at the start. No one else was listening to Jason Morgan and Sonny did fire Jason back in the day to protect Robin and Jason hated it. Jason actually cried IIRC. Jason has shown over the last 30 YEARS he chose this job over and over. I agree about Karen 100%. I am back and forth on Brenda. Sonny didn't necessarily groom her but was too old for her. I would guess he was around 30 to her 18. The show did age her up to 21 pretty quickly though. I think maybe gaslighting her is a better term. He wouldn't tell her about business at all but would get super upset if she decided to ask anything. And he knew that being kept in the dark would make her irrational and upset. Again, I am not saying Sonny is A-okay, but I don't think he has any secret mob plans for Gio either. I don't even have a problem with Tracy calling him out. These just wouldn't be the examples I would use.
