I see Theo's new haircut debuted today. It was nice to see him and Lani start preparing for Lexie's memorial. But yeah, I still can't believe Days actually dragged this out for three months after she died; three months where I feel like she was barely mentioned at all. That's just bad plotting and pacing. Again, I can understand Paula/Jeanne wanting to have some kind of event during each sweeps but... goddamn lol they could have made an exception for a funeral. And while I feel like this whole thing about Dimera moving illegal merchandise and also tying it to the fake GabiChic bags is a waste of time, I like that Theo filled Chad in about everything, mostly because of what it could to lead to for Chad and EJ, their relationship, and everyone around them. That's where the story really is, IMO; a character driven feud between the two brothers, not a plot driven story arc revolving around a company that should've gone belly up years ago. Theo's anger over the Dimeras could finally lead to something good happening for him too, especially if it's tied to the memorial somehow. But with the way Theo was speaking in that hoarse whisper today, it sounded like, he too, was trying to channel his inner Maurice Bernard #sameteacherasRSW 😂 And yeah, whoever made the decision to guarantee Leo/GR at least two episodes a week deserves to be fired. I didn't even care that the episode ended with him getting in some kind of trouble. But I did like that Holly was adamant that she had seen Sophia and wasn't talked down by Tate, even though Bitchy Holly seemed to make a return today lol but I wouldn't mind her and Mason teaming up to try and track down Sophia. Sarah getting rejected by one of her patients was kind of unnecessary though, but I like that it led to Xander comforting her. And I'm glad that she finally got exonerated in the end. I still say that the whole malpractice suit would have been a lot better and more interesting if we had actually seen someone from Destiny's family onscreen though, you know, like Liam. And while the Salem PD possibly going after Xander because he was carrying an unlicensed gun feels like another waste of time, I liked the advice that Lani gave him today. That could lead to something interesting finally happening for her as well. A feud with Jada, perhaps? And Xander did look hot in his dream 😉😂

Let's hope But tbf, thanks to Days' production model and Corday, I can now stretch a dollar better than anyone that I know 😂😂

Mostly about Sophia today. I imagine that any fans of Sophia (if she has any lol) will enjoy today, especially her scenes with Kristen where they discussed motherhood and all the mistakes that they each made this year. But none of that did too much for me, not because it was bad or boring but because of Kristen and Sophia, in general. Sophia encountering Chanel and Trey in the Square didn't do much for me either. I preferred Holly and Ari discussing Sophia and how the caller at the Mental Health Hotline sounded a lot like her. I wouldn't mind the two of them and Tate/Aaron somehow working together to try and unravel this mystery about Sophia. The four of them having a seance wasn't really necessary though. But despite Aaron coming off as a little campy and clowny during the seance, it was nice to see him again and that he got to spend some time with his son. I'm glad that we didn't have to sit through his Salem Ghost Tour again though lol last year was bad enough. I do think that Ari and Aaron's relationship should be playing out onscreen more. There's so much that can be done with the two of them #Liam But I did think Brady was used very well today too, both when Tate was comforting him and later on with Sarah. It was a nice closure moment for the two of them, even though there were a few moments where they both seemed to come off as unfeeling or douchy to each other lol I wonder if it was written that way or if they were choices by both Eric and Lindsey. Personally, I think it was the latter, because I didn't get the impression of either of them being unfeeling to each other constantly throughout their scenes. And I agree with Xander 100% about what he said to Marlena today; both he and Sarah need to work on making their relationship work this time and I'm glad that he was able to discuss all that with Sarah too. I'm interested in seeing all that play out. The cliffhanger with Holly and Sophia was pretty good too.

Awwwwwww Colton 😥😥 Seriously, WTF is Days doing? There's so much that can be done with Andrew https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv-streaming/2026/11/02/days-of-our-lives-colton-little-sag-aftra/92569589007/

Team Stephanie! The fire that she had yesterday continued on today… and as a result made Alex look kinda stupid 😂 I can see how some fans might think she was being a real douche or was acting flat out crazy today lol but I was on her side the whole time. As a character, she finally has agency over her own life and is no longer just Alex’s little woman. And that was the right decision for this storyline despite some mistakes lol and while I do like Alex, it’s refreshing in some ways to see him as a character with actual flaws. I somewhat enjoyed Philip/Gabi/Sydney as well, despite Philip being a little bit of a dope today. But the potential conflict for all of them could end up being a pretty good mess, especially considering the spoilers and rumors that we already know. But yeah, a secret poker game in the back room of Small Bar feels really sudden and random. And I’m also interested in seeing what’s going to happen now that Sydney knows that EJ disowned Johnny. I liked the way that she was there for him today. I didn’t have much of an interest in the two of them finding out about EJ possibly trafficking illegal goods through Dimera shipping though. As for Javi/Leo… Skip

I’m glad somebody finally did lol I was never a fan of Ron and co. trying to diminish Adrienne’s presence in Alex’s life just to make him and Stephanie work

A little too much Dimera again if you ask me lol but I do think it's a lot more balanced out than the Summer promo. A lot of Dimera characters seem to be interacting more with their other families, and that's a good thing. I am gonna really miss Johnny and Chanel though. Idk about Xander/Sarah, and what's going to happen to them, either And I'm definitely not looking forward to seeing Orpheus again. Even if the rumors (and hopes) about Dominic's parentage turn out to be true, it just doesn't feel right that John is dead while he's still alive. And it never will. But I'm interested in seeing everything with Dominic play out. There are a few other things that I liked in the promo. We're finally getting the Horton living room back! 👍 I'm also interested in Mason/Sydney, Philip/Gabi and finally some conflict between Chad/Belle. And I have no problem whatsoever with what's going to happen to Leo 😂 I have mixed feelings about Sofia Mattson as Chloe though. I mean, I'm glad Chloe's gonna be on the canvas again and be there for Brady and her sister lol but at the same time, it is a little disappointing that Chloe and Joy are finally gonna share scenes together and it's not gonna be Nadja playing her. I'm cautiously optimistic about everything.

I see what you mean. On the one hand, I agree that they really need to pick up the pace with her (and a lot of other characters too) but on the other hand, I'm glad they're not really rushing her into being like a lead or something. They seem to be phasing her in gradually, as opposed to just flat out shoving her down our throats 😂 I'm curious to see if they're going to go there with her and Philip though.

Days is back to being uploaded at 5 AM! Too bad that there wasn't much to talk about today. But I like that we got some follow up with EJ and Sydney. I like the way that they're writing her; she has some similarity to EJ but at the same time, she's not his full on puppet. Sydney Malakeh is continuing to do a good job as well. And I would totally be on board going against EJ and siding more with the Evans-Black/Brady side of her family, the same way that Johnny should have. Plus, I imagine Marlena's gonna need her family now, especially now that Dominic is in Salem. Despite all the spoilers, the reveal with him and Rita at the end was actually pretty good. Idk about him walking around town in a creepy mask and a feathered hood though 😂 And yeah, I gotta say it again lol he's very handsome 🥰😊 I'm still curious to find out how Days was able to keep Kyle Pryor's casting a secret for so long. I mean, we already know spoilers about June of 2027 😂😂 Btw, now that Cat remembered her orders and turned down EJ's romantic advances today, it would be a good time for Andrew to come to Salem as well. The Day of the Dead thing with Alex and Joy was kind of weird and random though, but I'm glad that Days is once again acknowledging Adrienne as Alex's mother. And that Joy pointed out the incestuous vibes between him and Stephanie lol Speaking of Stephanie, I'm interested in seeing what happens now that she's confronted Joy about taking muscle relaxants. The gloves finally came off for the two of them today. I was more impressed by Abigail Klein than by AlexAnn Hopkins though. Despite all the clunkiness and some mistakes, I do like the way that this has all been structured and I am looking forward to the climax of all of this. And I'm also somewhat interested in seeing what happens now that it looks like Philip is falling off the wagon and going to gamble again. Btw, are they gonna go there with him and Sydney?

Can't wait! 😍😍😍 https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/the-most-wonderful-secret @Soapsuds

I did think 25 and under was a good cut off, but 30 would probably be good too. It's just allows for a more fair competition that way, IMO. And you don't end up with adult lead actresses basically cheating and going up against little kids that are barely seen onscreen 😂😂

Well, I'm glad Days got some recognition at least, for all the work that they put in for John's death and funeral. But yeah, the academy really needs to change the format for next year's ceremony. The whole structure of the ceremony was just a mess. And possibly change some rules about nominations as well. And I'll say it again, is it so hard for the academy to admit that they made a big mistake and just reinstate the Younger Actor/Actress categories? 😂
