Looks even better on my PC 👍

Welcome back, Justin! It’s been a while. There were a lot of good conversations and discussions today, and Justin and Jennifer’s was one of them. We got a really good understanding of why characters, like her, are doing the things that they’re doing. She’s still being a real douche, but in the context of this story, it works. And above all, it’s good drama. I also enjoyed Chad and Jeremy’s scenes, and I’m glad that he has Jeremy to confide in. He actually sounded like a teacher today lol Plus, he’s much better friend for Chad to have than Leo 😂😂 And even though I have mixed feelings about Jeremy’s suggestion to Chad, I wouldn’t mind it being used as a way to move this storyline along. Hopefully, we won’t be let down and we’ll get Chad vs. Jennifer in court as well. I also have mixed feelings about Rachel doing an internet search to find about Sarah’s allergies. It felt a little clunky and I thought Rachel liked Sarah, regardless of Brady and Kristen. But I’m looking forward to seeing what happens. That kid still needs a slap though 👋😂 Speaking of Sarah, her and Xander were kinda breaking my heart today too lol they’re in a typical soap dilemma, where they still love each other and want to be together but just can’t be, and I really enjoy seeing it. They really are like a classic supercouple, and I’m looking forward to seeing where they go from here, and how they’ll inevitably find their way back to each other. As for Rafe and Cat, I actually found them interesting today too. I think Cat using her past with EJ to get closer to him and find out what he’s up to is a good idea and could lead to a lot of interesting things happening. I still say that Andrew should be their boss, and be onscreen though. Btw Rafe, it’s “Wuthering” not “Withering” 😂😂😂 👍

I was thisclose to taking Kat's side today because of all that unnecessary bashing from Martin and Eva... but then Kat just had to open her mouth to Eva 😂😂😂

Congratulations, Laura! You're still a lousy Mayor though 😂😂😂 GH really needs to keep the WSB honeypot away from Emma, and especially from Gio. If they want to put the two of them in a triangle with someone, it should definitely be with Trina. And, while I don't like Sidwell or this storyline that much, that was a really good ending. I didn't see it coming either.

Not here, for sure 😍😍😂😂😂

👍

Welcome back, Shawn Douglas! It's been a while. It really is too bad that the writers don't really have an interest in the character because there are still a lot of ways that he can be used effectively on the canvas. He should have been a part of the 60th anniversary celebrations as well. If anything, just to represent Bo and Hope. And I'd much rather see Jada paired with him than possibly with Theo. But I enjoyed him getting caught up with Belle, and comforting her. I'm sure they'll find their way back to each other at some point but I do like them as divorced friends. I just hope we see it play out onscreen. Belle being a dick about Sami again was unnecessary though. And we finally saw Liam again! I'm curious to see how this storyline is going to play out, and who's going to be weaved into it. He and Abe do work well together too. And we learned that he has a kid. Hopefully, we'll learn more about his character in the future. But I'm not really sure about Johnny and Chanel suddenly having problems with raising Trey. They've wanted a baby for so long, so I don't understand why this is even an issue. They should know by now what it's like to raise a baby. But I did enjoy Johnny's scenes with EJ, and that Johnny still hasn't refused to forgive him. This storyline was/is very clunky, but having the two of them be at odds is the right decision. There's so much story potential that can be drawn from that. As for Chad... there was no time for us to see his reunion with Will, but there's time for us to see him talking BS with Leo? I don't get it. And I don't get all this random dating app stuff either. Leo and Javi were boring af too. If we're forced to endure them, can they at least have some real conflict? The two of them losing the baby was the perfect opportunity for it.

Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back 😂😂

Sami's Three Stooges stole the show today 😂😂😂 I enjoyed their individual scenes with other characters before they all came together at the Pub to commiserate over their relationships with Sami. I thought that was broken down pretty well. I just wish it had gone on a little longer. And I actually found it kinda funny too lol it seemed more mature than what we're used to. That's the kind of humor that should be on a soap. But I'm not really sure about all this talk of Dante Vitali and Sami's engagement though, especially since it doesn't look like Ali Sweeney is coming back anytime soon. What's the point of it all if we're (probably) not going to see it? It also looked like today was the first round of Brady vs. Xander as well lol I enjoyed their fight, and I'm interested in seeing this storyline play out. Even though I'm sure that Sarah will ultimately go back to Xander in the end, I'd like to see what happens along the way, and how they and everyone around them are affected by this. Btw, Theo and Jada? Idk. I still think he had the most chemistry with Arianna. And he was a bit of a dick too. It also seemed a little out of character for Jada to be so OK with him being such a dick 😂😂 And though Alex and Stephanie were very boring again and need much better conflict than this book stuff, I am interested in the mystery of who's targeting Alex. And yeah, I know this is a nitpick, but why is the Square still open after the gala? Isn't it supposed to be really late at night? 😂

[!@#$%^&*] off, Dante 🖕🖕

I can't see them recasting Stefano either. In some ways, it would almost be disrespectful to Joseph Mascolo, and his memory. This is purely speculation but I suspect it is Stefano's body in the tube but the plot will be foiled in the end, hopefully by Johnny.

Touché 😉

Today was a bit of a mixed bag. Not much happened. And somebody really should have told us where Will, Paul and Andrew went. But I'm glad that we got some follow-up with Marlena. And despite some missteps in her storyline, especially in the beginning, I'm still curious and interested in seeing whatever's going on with her. I enjoy scenes of her and Sarah together. But I don't think she has Lyme disease though. And once again, Belle was a bit of a dick. But for once, it actually seemed to work. I wouldn't mind her taking on EJ and the hospital if it turns out that they were negligent in diagnosing Marlena's illness. But her, Eric and Roman's scenes at Marlena's bedside were really nice. Javi pointing out that Gabi has a reason for kidnapping Tony seemed like filler though. I don't think she had anything to do with it. And yeah, Al is still not a good crier 😂 And as for Tony and Kristen, their scenes were kinda played too jokingly for me, which I didn't think was the right move. There almost seemed to be a little bit of Susan in Kristen's performance today, which was the wrong choice by Stacy Haiduk. I still think Kristen/Susan/Stacy Haiduk is played out though. Once this is all resolved, send her and her awful kid back to Aremid or something. And based on Tony and Kristen's final scenes, I guess we now know what was in the box at the hospital. I'm still dreading what would've happened in 2023 had Zach stayed.

Wow. How did this finally come to be after all these years?

Jennifer, you douche 😂😂 I wonder who's the one that's targeting Alex. It's definitely not Jeremy. And I'm kinda looking forward to Lucas, Rafe and EJ commiserating about Sami lol

GH is the one that's the most in need.

Something to watch when nothing happens onscreen 😉😂😂

They're safe from Leo; that's the important thing 😂😂 Sonny could add an interesting dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines if he were full time though. I could see him being pitted against Xander or Alex somehow

Well said 👍 Which could've led to some good conflict for Tate, Holly, Ari, Aaron, etc. A very missed opportunity. It really does all go back to that; Will and Sonny should never have been written out in 2020

Poor Lucas If GH wasn't so biased, he'd be the one in the right in this storyline, instead of Carly. I hate that they're obviously going to make him look stupid in the end. And poor Rocco too. Now that the DA double-crossed him, hopefully this'll be the end of whatever the hell is happening between her and Sonny. I wasn't expecting Trina vs. Jordan, but I didn't mind it. It could finally give Trina something to do that could actually be interesting. And even though Emma and Gio spent most of the episode feeling sorry for themselves, I enjoyed their scenes. They're still so good together and I'd much rather see the two of them and the rest of the Scooby gang try to take down Dalton rather than Joss and the WSB.

Maybe we'll be seeing them again next week 😉

Justin! It's been a while I agree

Will looked hot 😍 That's all I got for today 😂😂😂

I think that point was the early 80s, starting with the St. Valentines Day Massacre and ending with Pat Falken Smith’s second run and the arrival of the Brady’s and Dimera’s. In the long run, I think it worked out but I also think that there was plenty of storyline left for every Horton that got written out, particularly Bill and Laura. And, I also think that it worked out for Stephen Schnetzer too 😂

Returns every day this week! Welcome back, Steven! Even though I’m not sure if there’s a place for him on the canvas at the moment, it’s great to see Stephen Schnetzer on a soap again. He and Susan Seaforth Hayes work well together. She also works well with Roark Critchlow. It was nice to see their family connection on display today. And, we got updates about Doug III, and Robin! But yeah, somebody needs to tell Eli that Tom is his great-great grandfather, not great grandfather 😂😂 It was also good to see Sarah finally be included in the celebrations as well. And to see all three of Bill’s children share scenes together. I can’t even remember the last time that happened lol and I liked that Lucas used his own history with Will as a way of cautioning Jennifer about seeking custody of Thomas and Charlotte. Mike remembering the gift that Carrie gave him when he became Chief of Staff at the hospital was a nice throwback too. And, Marie, Julie and Maggie’s speeches about Tom and the hospital and Jennifer’s slideshow, with the flashbacks we got during it, were the icing on the cake. Overall, and despite the obvious budget issues when it came to the gala, I thought this was a great week. And a huge improvement over the 50th anniversary celebrations. It was a great way to honor Days, its families, characters and history and also to move some of the current storylines along. And despite me not being the biggest fan of some of the current storylines, this all has me looking forward to seeing it all play out and finding out what’s going to happen. And hopefully, we’ll get some follow up with Marlena, and Kristen too, on Monday 😂 A Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew quad, with Dimitri thrown in to make it even messier is one of my dream storylines 😂😂 It really is too bad that the writers seemed to have closed the book on Will/Paul though. They’re family now 😂
