Thanks! I appreciate that 😉 I enjoy your posts as well.

The friendships were on full display today. One thing that Days has always done well is the friendships that characters have with each other. I'm glad that that's continuing. Marlena and Sarah's talk about Kristen and Rachel was really good. The only thing I would suggest is that everything going on should be tied together more and seen more through Marlena's eyes. The effects of John's death, the dreams she's been having, Johnny's trial, Rachel shooting EJ, and Susan's premonitions should be taking more of a toll on her, which could explain the dreams, and whatever's going to happen to her in the future. Speaking of Susan, she needs to go away. I guess she has somewhat of a purpose, since her son and grandson are such important parts of the canvas right now, but I still think she's not necessary. Does Days feel like they need her for humor or something? They don't. I'm glad Marlena basically told her to get lost. And, Johnny possibly becoming a Professor at Salem U? Idk. Philip and Belle's friendship really stood out to me today as well. We continued to get a much better understanding of why Philip is the way that he is. Their trip down memory lane was actually kinda nice. And they remembered his fake leg too lol I think we can add Philip to the list of characters that have gotten improved writing since the new writers came in. I also really liked Sarah and Xander's final scene, and I wish it had gone on a little longer. As short as it was, it still felt like classic supercouple angst. Btw, this is a nitpick but everybody really needs to go back to calling the company Titan, not Titan-Dimera. Dimera shouldn't exist anymore.

There are just some things that a man should not discuss with his mother 😂😂

Words cannot even express how much I am cringing over these Katie/Will scenes

Well, maybe if Days had money 😂

Not much happened today, but I liked the sense of family and community that today had. Finally, Brady got to bond with both of his kids at the same time. I like that Brady is going to have Steve investigate the adoption. I still think that they should have waited a little, at least until after if/when him and Sarah get together, because this kinda handcuffs the two of them before anything happens between them, but I don't mind the storyline. Him and Steve discussing how John would be there for Rachel was really nice too. Brady seems to be getting smarter every day lol and Tate looked good too. His clothes were something that I would wear. I also enjoyed Sarah/Holly, and that Sarah tipped Holly off about Sophia. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next even though Rachel Boyd's acting is still... ehhhh. And also because Sophia's actions will never make sense to me... unless there actually is another reason why she gave up the baby. Idk. I do wonder how Madelyn Kientz would have played this. And, I like that Stephanie got to have scenes with Kayla, but we really should be seeing all the stuff happening at the hospital that they talked about, instead of just hearing about it. Stephanie and Kayla going head to head with EJ could be really interesting. It would honestly, be a lot better than the book thing.

Damn. I guess he picked up some bad habits 😂 Drunk Anna felt out of character to me too

I'll just assume that there's a window on the far side of the room that we never see 😂 But I still think their storyline is a little DOA though... and that Andrew should've been their boss.

Today was strangely campy. It almost felt Ron Carlivati-like.

Well, Rafe does love to be a gossip girl, so I imagine he'll continue telling Cat everything at some point 😂

Now, BlackPatch has an establishing shot 😂 I'm glad that Steve is being used more effectively now though. He adds another dynamic to the whole Kiriakis family mess and I hope he continues to be a part of it, even though Stephanie asked him to drop the case. Him knowing the truth about what Philip did could lead to something interesting happening. Speaking of Philip, I don't mind him and Gabi sleeping together but I do have mixed feelings about them getting to this point so quickly. I know that Philip isn't the sharpest pencil in the box lol but we should have seen it all play out, over the course of a few episodes, rather than the two of them just talking about it after the fact. Philip did look hot though 😍😂 I also enjoyed Belle confiding in Philip about everything that happened with EJ. I'd rather she be confiding in Shawn lol but I'm glad that she has a friend to talk to. I couldn't help but chuckle when Ari called Gabi out for doing the exact same thing that Ari did. The two actresses really work well together as mother and daughter. And I'm glad that Will and Sonny are on board with Ari going to Salem U. She should be on the canvas, and so should her fathers lol. Btw, I wonder if Ari's going to react to the fact that her mother is now sleeping with another one of her family members 😂😂 Btw, welcome back, Jada! It's been a while. And with her seeing Alex looking all hot, I wonder if that's going to mean something in the future, especially since Alex and Xander may or may not end up being at odds over Stephanie. And poor Theo too. If they're going to have Abe keep bringing him up or talking to him on the phone, they really should bring him back to Salem. But yeah, idk about One Stormy Night being everybody's favorite book all of a sudden.

Thats why I always give the signal 😂😂😂😉 The improved writing is still continuing but there is also still some FF material

Count me in as someone who doesn't Ric to get killed off. That whole scene kinda seemed like a retread of what happened between Ava and Nikolas, so this'll have a similar outcome. As for Maxie, I understand why they needed to write her quickly, but I still why they couldn't have given her a HEA will Spinelli and the kids. It's not like Bradford Anderson is full time.

That thought crossed my mind, but I really hope the new writers don't go there. If they're not gonna write Kristen out, then she definitely needs a reset. She's been so tied to Brady for so long that it's almost like she doesn't have much of a character anymore. Her "relationship" with Brady has now gone on almost three times longer than her relationship with John. I hope so. I like them together, as a temporary couple anyway lol

I'm very glad that they didn't feel that way 😂 But now I really want to know who the shooter was supposed to be.

Season 61! I enjoyed the fallout from Kristen's confession. The good acting, and writing continued as well. Like I've said before, it just feels more in-depth and mature, with more drama injected into it as well. And Brady continued to be smart lol I actually didn't expect him to suspect that Kristen was hiding something so quickly and I actually don't mind it. It's another shift in the writing that we were told was going to happen, and that shift is always more than welcome. And I loved him ripping her a new one too, and telling her the things that needed to be told to her a long time ago. I suspect that the writers wanted us to have sympathy for Kristen, and I understand why, but I just don't. After everything she's done, she does kinda deserve this. And hopefully, this continues to mean that the Bristen ship has sailed. I also liked Brady and Marlena comforting Rachel, and I'm wondering what's going to happen once Brady finds out the truth, and that Marlena knew. Chad, suspecting that Kristen wasn't telling the truth and possibly investigating it could be interesting too. And yeah, I have no interest in Cat and Gwen becoming friends. Btw, all this anti-Dimitri writing isn't gonna make us like Gwen. Or Leo. Or Cat, just sayin' Javi did look hot at the end though 😍😂 And I'm glad that the jury was going to find Johnny not guilty anyway.

@Soapsuds I think I finally realized why I’ve always liked wrestling so much (besides the good fights and the hot guys😂) Because it’s like a soap 😂 With drama, comedy, storylines with a beginning, middle and end, and real soapy moments too. Like this one… when wrestling’s first supercouple reunited after being apart for so long 😊😊😊😂😂

😂😂😂😂 The Hell in a Cell match was really good 👍 And I’m almost up to the PPV that I went to when I was a kid 😂

Judgment Day 2002, the first PPV to be held under the WWE name. Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker for the WWE Championship Triple H vs. Chris Jericho in a Hell in a Cell match Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam for the Intercontinental Championship Kurt Angle vs. Edge in a Hair vs. Hair match

Agreed. It's clear that they're doing this for Rachel, but it would be nice to get a comment from one of them about how far they've come. But I do appreciate that they haven't made Marlena and Kristen bosom buddies all of a sudden.

He said it when he was on The Locher Room

And me, I'm the exact opposite; I enjoyed this week. And I'm really glad that we got a classic Friday cliffhanger too. But I still think they're moving too fast though

Probably the one that you'd pick too 😉😂😂 The one on the right.

Looking forward to the Brady/Kristen confrontation. And, Alex is in 3 episodes next week. Is this the most times he's appeared in a week since Ron left? 😂😂
