That awkward moment when Sonny Corinthos becomes the straight male equivalent of Leo Stark

And because RC never passed up the chance to make a female character look as pathetic as possible. I don't blame her one bit if she isn't interested in going back to Days.

One of the cruelest, most disgusting things I've ever seen on a soap

And, at least we got a reason why we’re seeing Sami’s fiancée without Sami 😂

Well, the Martsolf family has always seemed very open minded 😂😂😂

Friggin Paulina 😂😂 But I do have to admit that her interrupting Stephanie and Theo just as they were getting flirty and about to kiss felt like a classic soap. That's the kind of build up that I like to see. It's definitely time for Stephanie and Theo to take the next step though... and for Theo to talk to Stephanie about how he feels about losing Lexie again. He hasn't really gotten the chance to express his feelings to anybody about that and at this point, Stephanie would be the best person for him to express to... among other things 😉😂 I am a little disappointed that the Italy trip is ending so soon though. I didn't expect the whole truth about Dominic and Stefano to come out, but I did expect a little bit more to happen during this trip. A romantic evening in Rome for Chad and Belle? EJ realizing that he still has feelings for Belle? Cat possibly showing up? Just something more. But I did enjoy Sydney's reunions with Chad, Belle and EJ, and how that ended up being the thing that got her to go back to Salem. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to Sydney now. I was also a little interested in Chad and Belle's disagreement over Cat today. That could actually be a pretty good conflict for the two of them, which they so desperately need right now. Tying all that to EJ and whatever he's doing or planning, and possibly even to Shawn/Jada could be really good. And Chad looked hot in the beginning 😍😂😂 But yeah, poor Lani. I'm glad that she told Leo to get lost. What was the point of even bringing her back if she was just gonna be a talk to?

Just like their father 😉😂😂😂

Days is giving him something, but it's definitely not the world 😂

It pretty much has become a Days tradition for a new head writer to give Stefano another child, hasn't it? 😂😂 I don't think I'd mind Days making us believe at first that Dominic is Stefano and Marlena's either, as long as they eventually reveal that he's actually the 1986 baby. That would definitely be the way to go, as like some grand scheme of Stefano's to turn John's child into a carbon copy of him, in order to further mess with John (and Marlena) once he was dead. I can't see a lot of fans actually liking the idea of Stefano and Marlena having had a child together. I wouldn't. Plus, the reveal that Stefano might've sexually assaulted Marlena would never work in 2026

A lot of talk about Joy today lol I wonder if she actually is paralyzed or is just faking, especially since Stephanie brought it to Kayla's attention. Either way, I still think her character needs more depth and motivation than to just want a happy life with Alex and Kelsey. It should be a lot deeper than that, IMO. And while I hope this all soon leads to something happening between Stephanie and Theo, I also hope this ends up effecting more characters and storylines as well. Speaking of Theo, I was a little interested in him and Johnny going head to head, but I do think they're kinda missing the mark with him too. With the way his scenes were written today, it almost felt like he's not mourning his mother at all lol I know the whole Lexie storyline was a waste of time and money but there should be at least some effect on the characters that were connected to her. I didn't feel that at all today from Theo. But since he and Stephanie ended up at the bar again at the end, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Lani making Chanel pot brownies felt a little random though. But I did like seeing the interesting throuple continue their planning at the Pub lol I wouldn't mind them joining Belle and Chad on this Dominic mystery. And I definitely wouldn't mind this all being a huge umbrella storyline that affects as much of the canvas as it can. I just really, really hope that this Dominic guy doesn't turn out to be Stefano and Marlena's kid. If anything, I'd rather he end up being John and Marlena's 1986 - 1987 baby that Stefano stole and raised as his own in order to mess with them from beyond the grave or something.

The fact that, after 45 years of being part of GH, the WSB is now suddenly this big evil organization that violates people's civil rights, destroys the lives of its employees and their families, covers up murders, etc., isn't helping either, IMO

My morning post didn't peak your interest? 😂😂😂

It did seem like they were, at least, trying a little bit more than they usually do. I was more interested in the poker game than I thought I was going to be. Could it be that they got a slightly bigger budget for this season? 😂

What a great opening scene! 😉😂😂 And I'm glad that we finally got some follow up with Tate and Holly. I liked the way that he comforted her, and they were really sweet and dorky, especially when he showed her some of his skills. And he looked hot through most of the episode too 😍😍 I think it's time for Tate and Mason to meet though. But the whole Philip/Gabi situation was kinda weird today. Like, why did they make him win the poker game, not have enough money to pay off the loan but then gamble his winnings and ultimately get enough money to pay off the loan? It just feels like unnecessary filler, and I think they could've saved a few dollars if they just had Philip win all the money at the poker game, instead of wasting the budget that they supposedly don't have on turning the Kiriakis living room into a casino set for him to gamble at lol I don't get it. But I'm glad that it looks like he and Gabi are reuniting. And I enjoyed seeing Xander/Sarah/Brady on the Coriseal case again. They're an interesting throuple 😂 I did like the way those scenes were written though. The writing didn't feel biased in favor of Xander or Brady, and that's always a good thing. They were basically on an even playing field as they sparred over Sarah. And while I'll never like what's being done to Johnny's character and think that this George guy needs to go, I'm a little interested in seeing what happens now that they know that Sarah is having Dimera investigated.

I think Gary was before Ray

Gotta say, despite the obvious biases in this storyline, I thought Steve and Kelly did a really good job today. Everything that happened with Anna would be a pretty good conflict for the two of them if GH was actually invested in them as a couple. The civil war in the writers room over Britt wages on lol Is the Quizmaster from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch gonna be sticking around after this whole Brennan thing ends, or is he just a temporary character? As for Joss... yeah, Cullum should have aimed a little higher. I live for the day that Emma finally punches her in her insufferable POS face.

Just out of curiosity, they’re not listed this week but why does Days always list the Intimacy Coordinator with the guest stars?

Hello Dante Vitali! As much as I would've preferred Days to give us a Dimitri/Andrew heated rivalry lol I guess I can get behind this connection to Heated Rivalry, despite me not being a fan of the whole Philip's poker game thing, in general. And despite the fact that Days might be getting a little too new character crazy, like it's GH or something 😂 I thought that the actor did a good job though, especially considering that the majority of the episode was focused on the poker game. It's still too soon to make any full judgments about his acting though. There also did seem to be more tension in those scenes than I thought there was going to be, especially between Philip/Sydney and Dante/Gabi. And I wonder if that's going to mean something at some point in the future. I was actually a little impressed by it all. The background music wasn't all that bad either. And yeah, he's gorgeous. And I gotta say it again, so is Sydney. Seriously, like early 90s Hunter Tylo-gorgeous. He sure looks good in a suit too. Btw, I wonder if there's going to be an onscreen reason as to why we were introduced to Sami's fiancee without Sami. Or why they cast an actor that's the same age as the actor who plays her son to play her fiancee. I mean, Sami's no cougar. 😂😂🤣 And it was nice to see Sydney talk to her Grandma Marlena, and that Julie was there to comfort Marlena about everything going on with her. Marlena's always the rock for her family and everybody around her, so to see her lean on somebody else is something different and that's always a good thing on soaps. As for Chad and Belle, I found their adventure interesting today as well but like I said at the beginning of this post, do we really need another new character on Days? And does what I think may happen really need to happen? I don't think so. As for the set they used for Dominic Marino's house, no wonder why he wants to buy the Kiriakis mansion 😂😂😂

He sure got me 😂😂 This is why he needed to have a hot steamy affair with somebody in the aftermath of everything that happened with Sophia, and Amy's lawsuit 👍

Yeah... Daddy Choi really should have had a bigger part on Days 😍😍😍😍😍

Dawson's Creek - the final episodes 😥 But while I'm watching, I can't help but keep asking myself... did Greg Rikaart and Roger Howarth ever play roles where they weren't smug insufferable a**holes? 😂😂😂

I hope it works out, either if he's contract or recurring. Even when Sami first mentioned that she was engaged, I felt like the character had a short shelf life, but these mini-contracts always end up handcuffing the character and the storyline. Peter Porte, Serena Scott Thomas, Michael Roark. Even Nikki Crawford.

Hmmmm... Sydney and Mason?

Yeah. 34 😉 I also remember just being like so stunned that something like that happened in a place that I had been before. I have so many memories of being driven the past the towers, looking up at them, looking into the lobby, passing under the footbridges, one of which was destroyed in the collapse, etc.

I was 9 years old and right across the river in Brooklyn. I remember everything, including the feeling of it.
