Didn't she also say that she didn't enjoy working the actor who played Kellam Chandler?

Well, Hank Northrop did say be patient with Liam 😂 And while there's still a little too much Dimera in the show, I'm looking forward to seeing EJ's return

A little odd that it's a new day in Salem, instead of having today's episode take place immediately after yesterday's, but I'm glad that we still got some follow up with Jeremy. Too bad that not much happened today though. But I thought Michael Roark did a good job. He hasn't gotten a chance to really show his acting chops in a while, and I'm glad that he got that chance today. And while I haven't been that big of a fan of this storyline, I'm interested in seeing what happens next and learning how the stalker knew to frame him, especially with the way that today ended. And yeah, he did look good too. They dress him like his cousins, Shawn and JJ 😂 And, I liked seeing Julie standing up for him and going head to head with Jada. Chad and Jennifer going head to head once again was pretty good as well. They work well together when they're at odds. And I like the drama of this storyline. It feels like realistic family drama, which is always good to see on a soap. Billy Flynn also works well with Cary Christopher, and we saw that again today. They've always felt like a real father and son, and I'm gonna miss seeing their relationship. Btw, I wonder if their conversation today means that this really is the end of Chad/Cat. And I love that Marlena got to discuss what happened at the book club, and how she felt, with Belle. It's interesting to see Marlena in this position, since she's usually the one helping people. I have mixed feelings about Belle suggesting that Marlena oversee Basic Black though. I really can't see her as anything but a psychiatrist, even if it is about preserving John's legacy. And then, we're expected to believe that those pearl clutchers love Leo 😂😂

They tried after the first few months on Peacock, in 2023. But then things kinda fell back. Were people complaining or something?

Hmmmm... a Theo/Gabi/JJ triangle? I can get behind that. It could be good and messy. Adding Philip into it (and also Days remembering that chem test between Theo and Arianna) could make it even messier. Plus, I still think there's more that can be done with Gabi and JJ. I was never a fan of them being completely broken up. And it would be a better use of Casey Moss, who needs much, much more to do. Honestly, he should be leading Days right now. I really enjoyed JJ's scenes with Theo though, and I'm glad that they were able to discuss and come to terms with everything that happened between them since Theo came back to Salem. I like that it wasn't dropped and that it came to a resolution, even though I wouldn't have minded the two of them continuing to be at odds. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, especially if they go there with them and Gabi. And they really should lol. Gabi and Philip's date was kinda sweet too. They haven't really set the world on fire as a couple, but I don't mind the two of them together. And with the secret of Gabi telling Tony about Philip's fraud hanging over them, it adds another dynamic to this potential mess with JJ and Theo. But I still say that Days is missing the mark with Stephanie and Alex. Even with the stalker, she shouldn't be so OK with the fact that Alex is trying to keep secrets from her and basically controlling her life. As a couple, they're boring and they need more to do. There's so much good conflict that can be mined from all of this, especially if they were pushing a feud/rivalry/hatred between Alex and Jeremy. Days made a big mistake by not having Alex confront Jeremy and get into a brawl with him or something once Stephanie told him about Jeremy being ambidextrous. Which, in turn could've caused more conflict between him and Stephanie. And, eventually would lead her to another man. Xander, perhaps? Speaking of Jeremy, as much as I think he's being wasted, I did enjoy his scenes with Julie today. They have a nice relationship and I liked that he has someone to talk to about how he's feeling. I think it helps us better understand his character. But just like with JJ, he needs much, much more to do. And hopefully that happens, now that Jada is bringing him in for questioning. And, we got an update about Bo and Hope! I do like that they're playing a part in Stephanie's stalker storyline. All the ingredients are there. They could definitely have said that Dimitri and Andrew had a fling when Dimitri was in the ISA. And was actually in love with Andrew but chose to do all that crap in Beyond Salem, rather than be with him. And now in the storyline, the two of them could be determined to take each other down, but just like with Shane and Ilya, their feelings for each other often take over 😉😂😂

100% agree If you ask me, Days could have had their own heated rivalry with Dimitri and Andrew, but sadly, that can't happen.

Happy to help! 👍😂😂

I'd be a great test subject too. I'm one of the first ones there every morning 😂😂😂 And probably Ron Carlivati too, which would explain why RSW is still around 😂😂

Maybe a shirt could've gotten ripped 😂😂😂😂

Oh, that's goes without saying 😂😂 It's too bad though, because we could get a really good storyline of Maggie, Julie and Marlena all dealing with their grief and the two of them helping Marlena cope and learning how to deal with it, etc., but that dark cloud is gonna be hovering over them constantly, which is gonna hurt whatever story that Days runs with. Where do all these "tests" take place lol I've watched Days for most of my life and I've never even seen anything even related to testing.

It happens sometimes 👍😂😂

Totally here for Michael vs. Chase! Both the argument and the brawl. The brawl could've gone on a little longer though 😂😂 But Chase told Michael a lot of hard truths that he needed to hear lol I know GH is biased in favor of Michael, but let's be honest, he was a shitty husband sometimes. But I admit that I think Michael told him some truths too. Truths that might be foreshadowing of what's to come. And I can't wait to see it all play out 👍 Btw, Willow turning dark is definitely the shot in the arm that the character needed.

Doesn't that go all the way back to the 90s?

The campiness would probably rival Body&Soul 🤮😂😂

Yeah... it's time for them to finally end this, whatever it is. 30+ years of friendship deserves a second chance. And honestly, they're both too old to carry around this much tension and animosity.

As pointless as the interruption was yesterday, I gotta admit, I’m kinda liking this feeling of anticipation of getting home and watching today. Haven’t really felt that about an episode of GH in a while And about reading all about it on here 👍

A Marlena/Maggie scene! They're so rare that it's always nice when we get them, regardless of the circumstances, and regardless of how chilly things seem to be between them when they're on camera together. The book club might not be the best idea in the world but I enjoyed the two of them and Julie coming together to discuss grief and how they've been feeling since they lost their husbands. Having Marlena be the one that was reluctant about the idea of the book club was a good choice, and I hope that gets explored a lot more. Marlena's grief should be front and center. I agreed with Julie and Maggie when they said that it was still too soon for her. Foster was a little unnecessary though. For a show that's so cash strapped, he seems like a character that could be easily cut to save a few dollars lol While I feel like Chad and Jack/Jennifer not having a full on custody battle for Thomas and Charlotte was a missed opportunity, I did enjoy their scenes at the mediation today. Everyone did a pretty good job, particularly Billy Flynn. And all their actions make sense based on everything that they've been through, even though I get why some people don't like Jennifer in this storyline. I liked seeing Chad go head to head with the two of them. Chad bringing up Jennifer's addiction to painkillers was a nice surprise but I would've liked to have seen a little more drama. That was a good start, but there needed to be more. Thomas still having doubts about Chad and the agreement could lead to something interesting happening as well. Speaking of Thomas, Jeremy comforting him was nice to see but yeah, Jeremy is being wasted. And I don't understand why he hasn't had a bigger part in Stephanie's stalker storyline since he's the obvious red herring.

Ok. Never mind 😂😂😂

And I think he's gonna be celebrating 10 years at Days later this year. Maybe it is time for him to get a shot.

I miss the days when soaps weren't preempted or interrupted for every stupid little thing. This makes me really thankful that Days is on Peacock. Don't forget to check your DVRs 👍

So, Marlena couldn't make it to her great-grandson's Christening at the hospital because she was on a day trip to Chicago, but now she's back at the hospital for a doctor's appointment? OK That was pretty bad. And I don't think a budget issue was the reason for that obvious continuity error. But I did enjoy her scenes with Sarah. They work really well together and I like the relationship that Days has established between them. We got a really good insight as to how Marlena was feeling after all the mistakes that she made with Brady and Rachel. I still say that her actions and her illness should have been tied more to her grief over John's death though. That was a missed opportunity. But I'm glad that she's ready to return to work at the hospital. And that they were able to discuss Sarah's growing relationship with Brady. Speaking of Brady, I enjoyed his showdown with Kristen as well... and that it looks like they're over for good. I'm glad that they're finally at a place where they can both admit how toxic they were. It shows growth, for both characters actually. Now, Kristen can just leave and go back to Aremid or something lol While I enjoyed seeing Julie actually working at the bookstore, I had mixed feelings about her scenes today. I like the discussion that she had about grief, but I kinda wished it had been with another character. I really have no opinion about the character of Foster, but I don't want him in a relationship with Julie. And not just because of her and Doug's iconic couple status. But I am looking forward to the first meeting of her Bereavement Book Club with Maggie and Marlena. And yeah, Leo just makes me sick. And no propaganda, or well written dramatic scenes are gonna make me like him. I did feel bad for Javi though, despite the acting and the crying. Maybe when he returns, he and Dimitri will develop feelings for each other lol and I'll say it again, (especially after his scenes today) Peter Porte deserves so much better than this. He's too talented and too charismatic for this nonsense, and also, to be trapped in a bubble with the two most unlikable characters on the show. I can't believe he's being wasted once again. He did look good though This really does remind me of Dex/Joss on GH. Dimitri is Dex: a character, played by a talented actor that deserves so much better than what he's getting, and also is trapped in a bubble with two extremely unlikable characters. And Leo is (and always has been) Joss: a selfish POS that's constantly propped as this good person when they're clearly not. And the writers just don't get it. I do think David Kreizman is a good scriptwriter, but I'm not too familiar with his HW work. I know when he was co-head writing ATWT, he was largely responsible for the character of Reid, and a lot of fans liked that character. @Soapsuds How was DK's work on ATWT?

Oh Michael. Hot, sexy Michael. This is what you and your douchebag father get for covering up and getting away with Jagger’s murder 🖕🖕 I know GH wants us to forget that but the irony of Michael being all worried that he might get charged with a crime he didn’t commit, and lose his kids to Drew and Willow does feel a little karmic. Looking forward to his showdown with Chase tomorrow 👍 The ending cliffhanger was really good too

Hope it’s a good one! 👊🏻👊🏻👍

Yeah… idk about RJ being in love with his “cousin”. This is not a good return storyline idea for him at all. If only Brad had remembered the feud with Zende And he needs a haircut too lol between that and the clothes, just give him a few big rings and he could be Liberace 😂😂

Yeah… they put that Christening together in record time. Too bad Marlena couldn’t be there, but at least they gave us a reason though. There was a little too much Javi and Leo today. But I admit, I probably would’ve loved their scenes if they had involved any character other than Leo. I’ll never understand why they’re giving so much good storyline and good scenes to a character that has only like four fans. That’s the wrong choice. Even I liked Leo, it would still be the wrong choice. The time jump to the ceremony was a little clunky though. But I thought the ceremony was nice. Despite the acting, Javi was really sweet in those scenes too. And they used a real baby 😂😂 And yeah, I also don’t understand why they didn’t have Sophia actually slap Holly. There definitely should have been contact. That was another mistake in this storyline. But I’m glad that Holly raged at her lol it was classic Holly. Classic Holly that could drive future storyline. And I like that she got to vent to Ari about it, who once again, spoke for all of us. Ari revealing to Holly that she might have seen Sophia in the square could lead to something interesting happening. I just hope Days takes the chance.
