Today was a bit of a misfire. The dialogue was a little lousy too. And there was too much Javi and Leo. He was so stupid today that I was totally Team Cat 😂 Between Javi and Leo, Gwen and Gabi suddenly becoming drunken bff's, the poor dialogue and all the historical references, I'm assuming that today was a Jamey episode. And I seriously cannot wait until we never see this bum's work on Days ever again 🤮🤮🤮 Surprisingly, the crypt stuff was the best part of today. Peter's reasons for why he's doing what he's doing were actually a surprise to me as well. I think it makes sense based on everything that's happened over the years. And I'm glad that we didn't get the same old cliche of a random Dimera relative popping up out of nowhere to take over everything. I thought that Dan Gauthier did a good job as well. And even though I still think Kristen is played out, so did Stacy Haiduk. But I do have to admit, it still feels a little odd hearing Kristen talk about her past, and not have Eileen Davidson be playing her. Yeah, I admit he did seem bored sometimes. But he was nice to look at 😂 And I really think he came alive in that episode where Doug III and Tate argued and Tate hit him. And from a character perspective, at this point, I'd rather Doug III possibly cause problems for Tate and Holly than a psycho Sophia.

It's been a while but I remember liking them somewhat... but I also remember not raving about them either 😂😂 Paige singing to get a job at Top of the World stands out to me the most.

Or him 😂

F*ck off, Naomi 🖕 Seriously, Jacob deserves so much better than her. The Richardson - Smith Christmas party was really nice though

I'd love to dance with Colton 😊😊😊 And as always... that smile 😍😍😍😍

Awwwww Gio and Emma 😊😊😊 Hopefully, today means that Dante is finally coming around. This tension with Gio has been unnecessary from the very beginning. This Brad and Britt stuff is unnecessary too.

Who is he? He looks so much like Al 😂

Maybe I should re-watch the series 😂

On the one hand, I think it’s nice that Victor has an ornament, but on the other hand, it makes me laugh a little 😂😂😂

I was watching 😋😂 Now that Days is being uploaded at 5, I have more time to watch before I got to leave for work 😉😂😂

Glad that you beat me today 😉😂😂😂

So, all the Dimera captives finally appeared in the same scene today 😂 I'm glad that finally happened, and I'm sure that it was a budget issue, but it would've been nice to have more scenes involving every person trapped in the crypt before the story reached its climax, instead of just giving us the "they're sleeping" excuse. But at the same time, I'm also glad that this finally ending. And that I was right about Peter. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Peter in the aftermath of all of this. He also brought up a lot of good points about EJ, Stefano and the Dimera family as a whole. Points that could be used to drive future story, IMO. And I wonder if Chad revealing that he still hasn't forgiven EJ for everything that happened with Abigail was meant to be foreshadowing of something. Brady was douchy again in the beginning, but I enjoyed his scenes with Belle and Marlena. He brought up a lot of good points today with both of them. I liked that Belle reminding him of what John would have wanted one of the things that led to Brady going to see Marlena. And now Brady knows the truth about Kristen and has forgiven Marlena, I'm interested in seeing what happens. Luckily, it doesn't look like Brady is going to forgive Kristen for all of this lol the ship has still sailed for them. And I'm also very happy that even though he did forgive Marlena, he still said that it was time for him to get his own place to live. Btw, if Brady saying that there's a skeleton crew running Bayview right now was just meant to be a way to justify that ridiculous Sophia sneaking out episode, it's definitely not going to work. Tate and Holly were a little boring though. I figured that Holly wouldn't have had a problem with him being on academic probation or that he couldn't go to Paris with her. But Tate did look hot at the end. He was looking more natural too 😍😂😂 The cliffhanger ending, with Theo and with Peter was really good though.

Best lines of the year "Swing for the fences!" - Marlena, Days "You are nothing but a spoiled, selfish, untrustworthy bitch!" - Emma, GH "The best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody else." - Dani, BTG

Maybe, but with other guys though 😂😂😂

My two favorite Christmas albums when I was a kid

Best sidekick: Aaron, Days Worst sidekick: Kai’s douchy friend that didn’t like Trina, GH Most underwhelming return(s): Faison’s kids, GH Worst writer decision: Letting another one of Carly’s awful kids get away with murder, GH Most boring couple: Alex and Stephanie, Days Most random couple: Michael and Jacinda, GH

Maybe. I wonder what was it that made Billy Flynn decide to walk

Best scenes: Johnny confronting EJ about his conception, Sami and Johnny discussing his conception, Days Best wedding: Paul and Andrew, Days Best Happily Ever After: Bo and Hope, Days Best special event: Days 60th anniversary celebration Biggest tearjerker: John’s death and funeral, Days Best writer decision: Positioning Xander/Sarah and Johnny/Chanel as the two main frontburner couples, Days Worst episode: the climax of that Body&Soul abomination, Days Worst soap writer: Jamey Giddens Best villain that you want to root for: Leslie, BTG Biggest pet peeve: Countless characters saying, “I’m a Dupree/We’re Duprees” when practically everyone that’s said that doesn’t even use the name Dupree, BTG Most underused couple: Martin and Smitty, BTG Most underused character: Liz, GH Worst villain that you don’t want to root for at all: Sidwell, GH Worst Mayor: Laura, GH Biggest pain in the ass: Dante, GH Best job: Gio, as a lifeguard, GH 😂😂😉 Worst job: Joss, as a WSB agent, GH Best recast: Rory Gibson, GH Best musical performance: Gio, at the Nurses Ball, GH Best young couple: Gio and Emma, GH Best young messy couple: Tate and Holly, Days Most lazy show: B&B Best show(s): Days and GH Biggest problem on soaps, in general: Prop writing

I admit, a scene of Britt finding out about Spencer’s death and discussing it with someone would’ve been nice

One of my favorite episodes of the year! Glad to see Eli and Lani back. And that Chad is finally going to be reunited with his kids.

Of course he was the one who wrote that lazy ignorant garbage 🤮🤮🤮 Early 2026 can't get here soon enough. Has there been any word yet what day his final script is airing?

Agreed. The last thing we need is another Hope/Carter taking over FC-like situation, where everything goes back to the status quo in a few months.

Hmmmm... maybe the kidnapper is Peter, after all.

Well, it sure looks like we're getting a Christmas present next week 😉😂😂 Maybe a new man for Deke?

Well, the day I think we've all been looking forward to is finally here: welcome back Peter Blake! I admit, I have a few reservations though. I wish that they had been able to get Jason Brooks back for this but for obvious reasons, that can't happen lol and I was also a little cautious when I read that interview where Dan Gauthier admitted that he hadn't done any research about the character. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. There's still a lot that can be done with Peter. And hopefully, he gets to have scenes with Jack and Jennifer at some point, not only just to have that closure, but also because they're involved in this storyline too because of Chad. But I did enjoy his reunion with Kristen, and that he got to meet Chad and Theo for the first time. But yeah, it really is time for them to get out the damn crypt lol. I enjoyed a lot of scenes in there, but at the same time, I wasn't a big fan of the storyline, in general. I thought that Roman and Kate were used effectively today. But again, with that Brady Pub music. I never knew that you could square dance to 'Jingle Bells' 😂😂😂 I like that Johnny had Roman and Kate to talk to about him temporarily stepping in to run Dimera, and that they each provided him with a different perspective on whether or not to take the job. And I hope he does take it, mostly because of the potential conflict that can be drawn from that. Johnny stepping in could lead to a lot of good storylines for everyone around him, especially Chanel, their relationship and also because we now know that Kate had an ulterior motive in talking to him. I actually didn't see that one coming and I hope Days really runs with it. This could go in so many different directions and Kate's part in it adds another dynamic that could be really good as well. If Days hadn't rushed through Johnny's anger about Sami's rape and that toxic Dimera legacy, this would have been the perfect opportunity for him to try to sabotage and bankrupt the company, as a way of finally ending that toxic legacy, which would have been great family drama. I wouldn't mind him still trying to do that either lol and Johnny looked good today too. His shirt is something that I would wear. And I'm really enjoying Kate and Ari's scenes. They work well together and I like that we get to see their relationship onscreen. Kate being the one to basically give Ari the courage to tell Gabi that she was taking the internship at Dimera, and not a job at GabiChic was a good idea. Speaking of Gabi, she has a new office set... and if it means that they're finally phasing out that ugly Salem Inn room, I'm all for it. I did have mixed feelings about Philip's declaration to Gabi though. I like the idea of it, but I also feel like they rushed it a little. Philip almost sounded like he was madly in love today and I didn't even realize that he and Gabi were that serious yet lol maybe we should have seen their relationship grow and play out more onscreen. Unless Philip is playing her for some reason, or secretly already knows about her having teamed up with Tony. Yep. She's hanging in there, still releasing the opinion column every Friday.
