I was really liking the circumstances surrounding the Horton family Thanksgiving today. It all felt like real family drama. I like how it was broken down between Jennifer trying to get Thomas over his anger about Chad, and Jack explaining to Julie why he and Jennifer are going ahead with the lawsuit, and how they eventually all reacted to Chad not showing up for dinner. I’m glad that we’re finally getting Jack’s POV in this storyline. It definitely needs to have a bigger part in it. And all the talk about Doug was really sweet 😊😊 The green color in the dining room was a little ugly though 😂😂😂 But I’m also glad that JJ was included. And that he found out about Philip and Gabi. I wouldn’t mind a Philip/Gabi/JJ triangle. There’s a lot that can be done with the three of them. And I did kind of like the nerdiness of the Hernandez family Thanksgiving as well, even though Leo was annoying, and I really, really hope he doesn’t hurt Javi in the end. But I agree Javi, stop freeloading off your cousin and get your own place 😂😂 Btw, did they forget that Philip is Arianna’s uncle? The cliffhanger ending with Chad was good as well.

Damn. That's sooner that I thought lol

Happy Thanksgiving y’all 🦃🦃 And Days finally used an establishing shot that had snow in it 😂😂 There was a strong family element that was weaved through the entire episode today. I liked how everybody came together for the holiday and how they were all there for each other. Marlena’s family coming together at the hospital for her and for Rachel was the best part of today. All the talk of John and how this is their first holiday without him was really sweet too. And now that Marlena confessed to Brady and Belle that she knew all along that Rachel shot EJ, I’m interested in seeing what happens next for all of them. It’s good family drama and I hope to see it play out. It could even tied to whatever’s going on with Marlena somehow. The acting was very good in those scenes as well. And I did like the scenes of Tate at Rachel’s bedside, promising to be there for her. I still think the little demon deserves to get locked up in Bayview though 😂😂 And while I liked the foreshadowing with Stephanie and Alex, I still think that they deserve a better storyline than this.

Then again, I can’t really see them as a couple but I wouldn’t mind something else happening between them 😂😂😂

I just hope it’s better than the last time

I do remember thinking that he was better than that kid with the Justin Bieber haircut 😂😂😂

Today was mostly a buildup day, for some storylines and for some couples. Not much happened, but I didn't think it was bad. All the talk about Doug was really sweet. I liked how Jennifer was there to comfort Julie and that they were both there to comfort Thomas and Charlotte about Chad. Julie, basically taking Chad's side over Jennifer was the right decision as well. And while I'm glad that Chad is going to be spending Thanksgiving with his kids, I do hope that there's still a custody fight between him and Jennifer. Jennifer didn't seem douchy today either. I'm glad that Brady told Sarah the truth about what his awful child did to her and that he apologized for it. I also liked that he told her about EJ as well. The fact that he's not trying to cover up the shooting with anybody feels like another example of Brady being a mature parent, and I couldn't be happier that this writer change, and the change of treating Rachel's problems seriously instead of like a big joke, are sticking. But I did kinda feel bad for Xander after Sarah blew him off, and also at the ending too, when he had nobody. Trivia night at the Pub seemed a little random though, but I did enjoy the dorkiness of it lol and I'm actually starting to enjoy Philip and Gabi a little bit too. But I hink JJ should be in their orbit somehow. And I know that this is a nitpick, but where did Roman get a microphone? 😂😂

Days: Zach Tinker as Sonny

I kinda want them to have a one night stand now 😂😂

Why do Michael and Liz have chemistry? 😂😂😂

I looked it up, because I didn't know it either, but temporary pacemakers actually are a thing 😂

It's ok. On Days, during that Body&Soul obscenity, we had to believe that Johnny couldn't tell the difference between a white girl and a black girl 😂😂

Looks like I was wrong about Peter Porte 😍😍😍😍 As glad as I am to see him again, I really, really don't want a sequel to Dimitri's awful storyline and his utterly repulsive pairing with Leo. Luckily, we have new writers who don't get off on humiliating characters and who don't write awful selfish characters as though they're the good guys. Hopefully, things will be different. As for Wes Ramsey, I never thought we'd see him again lol but I'm glad that Stephanie's stalker isn't Jeremy or Liam. And while I did think there was a little too much Dimera in the promo, I'm looking forward to seeing everything play out, especially the return of (Peter Blake?) after all these years

Agreed. I’m enjoying a lot of what we’re seeing right now but missing the mark is the perfect term to describe some storylines, as a whole. Johnny should be the one trying to take down EJ, which could cause problems for him and Chanel. Susan (if she has to be on the canvas, that is) should be trying to mend fences between them instead of just being a clown. Everything that Marlena’s been through this year should be more tied together and have taken more of a toll on her, which would explain more what she’s going through right now. Even Javi and Leo; losing the baby should be tearing them apart. Maybe we should’ve even gotten a custody fight for the baby, between them, Amy, the Greenes, etc.

It was mostly about the younger crowd today. And, welcome to SJPR, Holly! I think Holly going to work for Stephanie is a good idea. It could lead to some interesting things happening and could also lead to her getting involved in more storylines across the canvas, instead of just being involved with Tate, Sophia and the rest of the younger crowd. It's a good use of the character. And poor Tate is so dumb 😂😂 I have mixed feelings about him not wanting Holly to find out that he's failing most of his classes. I don't see what could happen as a result of that. Why would Holly be upset with him? And I didn't know he was so proud either lol but I like that the younger crowd eventually came together for a Friendsgiving. They were really sweet and nerdy lol and they felt like an actual group of friends. All four actors work pretty well together. I feel like there's a natural chemistry between all of them. And I'm curious to see if Aaron asking Tate to go visit Sophia will lead to some good drama between Tate and Holly. As for all the anvils that were dropped today about Stephanie and a baby, I'm all for it... I just hope it turns out not to be Alex's 😂😂😂 And I'll always enjoy those sibling scenes between Brady and Belle, even though I thought Brady kind of ping-ponged back and forth between being intelligent and being stupid today. Belle being clued in that Rachel was the one who shot EJ could lead to something interesting happening. And I couldn't be happier that the doctor wants to send his little demon to Bayview 😂😂😂 And yeah, I also think Tony is right; Rachel is better off without Kristen. Good. They're boring 😂😂 Even if I liked them as a couple, I'd find them boring.

This f*ckin show, man. The writing for Laura, Lucas and Liz was pitiful today. And somebody really needs to tell Brennan that it isn't Vaughan's fault that Joss basically sold herself to him.

What a lousy opening scene. And not just because I can't stand either character. Gwen tricking Leo into going off to look for Dimitri is a great opportunity to cause conflict for him and Javi, especially in the aftermath of them losing the baby. I don't get why Days isn't choosing to take it. I mean, why are they making Javi and Leo so happy? They should both be heartbroken right now, and Leo going off to search could've been the catalyst for Javi to cheat or leave him for like Mark or somebody. Javi's new haircut looks good though. And as much as I'd love to see Peter Porte again 😍 it's definitely a good thing that Dimitri's (probably) not coming back. Everything else was a little bit better. And I'm glad that Sarah is going to be ok. It was also nice to see Brady act like a parent, even though I think he needed to rage at his little demon a lot harder. Bro, your child is a monster. You don't have to be so nice 😂😂 But now that Brady knows the truth about Rachel shooting EJ, I'm really interested in seeing what happens next. Btw, has there been any word on who was originally supposed to be EJ's shooter? Marlena needing a temporary pacemaker seems a little random though. Like, where are they going with this? It's always good to see Marlena so front and center, but I really think they need to do a lot more in order to tie everything together under one big umbrella storyline.

See ya! But I do have to admit, I kinda like the idea of Luna walking into Will and Electra’s wedding or engagement party with a baby in her arms 😂😂😂

I just hope something happens as a result of this Vernon/Sharon thing, and it isn’t just all for nothing

God, I can't stand that friggin kid 😂😂 I was interested in Rachel, Sarah and Brady's scenes today and I'd like to see what this is going to lead to but I'm so tired of Rachel. And the fact that Brady is probably gonna let her get away with this crap is ridiculous. I really thought stuff like this was going to be ended once Ron left. And if Brady's not gonna give her a slap, he should at least have her little demon ass locked up in Bayview with Sophia. With the way that today ended, hopefully that happens. Speaking of Sophia, she really was the topic of conversation today lol. Gabi using her own history to help Ari understand what Sophia was going through was a good idea. I'm curious to see if Ari knowing the truth about everything now will somehow play into this storyline, and lead to some more conflict for everybody involved, especially since it looks like they might be going there with Ari and Aaron. I'm not completely against pairing them, but I'm still not too sure about it. I can't really see Ari going from older bad boy Doug III to sweet nerdy good boy Aaron lol. Louis Tomeo's acting when Ari and Aaron went to see Sophia was a little... ehhh though, but I still like the character and the actor. And yes Ari, we wish your Dads could be in Salem for the holidays too 😊😊😂 And I'll always enjoy Kayla going head to head with EJ. Kayla finding out that Mark is working at the free clinic and being so insistent on seeing the lab could lead to something interesting happening. I wouldn't mind her, and even Steve and Stephanie being weaved into EJ's storyline as well. And now Mark is beginning to realize that everything at the lab might not be on the up and up, I'm curious to see how his part in this storyline is going to play out. And once again, Susan was unnecessary. Maybe it's time to kill her, and Dr. Rolf off for good.

😍😍😍

Yeah. But I always figured Sarah would be the one to help her get passed that 😂 I still hope Brady gives her a smack

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” 😂😂😂 👍
