Based on the dialogue today, it did seem like Brook Lynn/AS spent a lot of the episode pointing out how ridiculous the whole rewrite about Gio is 😂😂 But I'm still enjoying the storyline though. Even Sonny wasn't that bad today. His scenes with Gio were necessary, I guess. However, what I did find unnecessary today was this whole Liz/Lucky thing. Just friggin reunite them already.

That sounds like a good idea, but I think Drake was too sick by that point. Christie Clark even said that she tried to go see him when she was in California and she wasn't allowed to. John has to have them both beat. I don't see how he couldn't.

RIP to our hero, John Black 😥😥 I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today. Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well. As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.

That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps. And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June

Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree? 😂😂😂😂😂

That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with

Such a missed opportunity…

I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.

That's the one thing I really dislike about all this. Orpheus should not be alive. If anything, I hope he's erased from existence from here on. He has no purpose now that John is dead.

And we thought this week was gonna be the tough one Next week... 😥😥😥

It usually trends between #3-5 now. Under Ron, it was usually between #6-8 😂😂 I imagine he would've done a good job with the tribute to John... but I also worry that he would've made Leo a part of it His face is completely bandaged, similar to how he looked when he first came into Days. And the voice sounds a little similar, but you can tell that it isn't Drake.

Eva and Tomas! 😀😀😀

Hopefully, we get the answer some day as to why their 2023 return was botched so badly.

Welcome back, Will and Eric! They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that 😂😂 And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell. Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment 😊😊 Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside. And, congratulations EJ. I think lol But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here 😥 And, the final scene with John and Marlena 😥😥

🎵 And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go🎵 😂😂😂 Enjoy, @Soapsuds 😉

Dante, FTW! It's about time someone finally ripped Lulu a new one. She's been insufferable these past weeks and I'm glad that someone finally called her out on it. But Dante blaming Lulu for Gio wanting nothing to do with him was a bit of a stretch though. That's all on you, bro. Btw, did Olivia seriously blame herself for Sonny shooting Dante?? Gio and Emma were really sweet though. I love how she was there for him. She's definitely the friend that he needs right now. Hopefully, they get to share their first kiss soon 😊 And agreed, that Rory Gibson is doing a good job. He doesn't seem to be blowing as much hot air as (Sorry, Chad) Chad Duell used to do sometimes. I do think that Michael still seems to be a bit of a bitch when it comes to how he's dealing with Sasha and the baby but that's on the writing, not Rory. And I really, really hope that he directs some of this anger at Sonny too. And yeah, with the way Drew was speaking to Willow in the car today... maybe that rumor is true 😂😂

I think GM would’ve worked as a recast Cam too The storyline could’ve even been that Cam was still learning the violin over the last year and the Nurses Ball was meant to be his big break. And it would’ve been nice to see Cam move on with Emma

See ya bright and early tomorrow morning! 👍😂😂😂 True, Kristen deserves a child like that. But it was too much like the way Ron wrote the kids on GH; they’re only awful, obnoxious little sh*ts because he finds it funny 😂

Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well. I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them. NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though. Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen.

Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline

Today was a really long one. 49 minutes. But, welcome back, Carrie! I wish it were under better circumstances though. Her scenes with John and Marlena were the best part of today. It was almost like Christie Clark had never left. I’m so glad that she was brought back for John’s tribute. Carrie always had such a great relationship with each of them and both were on full display today. I did tear up a little bit when Marlena told Carrie that she was also her and John’s daughter as well. And when John reacted to Carrie touching his hand. The lengthy flashback was really nice too. And I agree Carrie, despite being a super spy, John was always best at being a Dad. And, now we know that Noah is the same age as Tate, Holly and Arianna. And I still think we should have seen Johnny visiting John, but I enjoyed his scenes with Roman. I liked the conversation and that they had. The encouragement that Roman gave him was the one thing that Johnny needed. I’m really glad that the writers have put such on a strong emphasis on their relationship. In some ways, it also plays into the way that they’ve moved Johnny/Chanel to the frontburner, which is exactly where they should be. The mystery of Roman’s gun and the lockbox was pretty interesting as well. I still don’t think Johnny’s the shooter though I was a little surprised that Kristen was included in John’s storyline as well. Even though it isn’t ED playing it, I thought Stacy did pretty well actually. And she also did well when she broke the news to Rachel. Btw, @janea4old, I see that Abe was wearing purple too. And he was used very well today with Kate and with John. Much, much better than the last time he was used with Kate😂😂😂 His scene with John was another tearjerker too.

Congratulations, Hayley! Even though, I agree that it is too soon to give her a baby. And I’m enjoying Martin/Smitty more but I still think that sometimes Martin gets into the habit of talking down to him, and he seemed to do it again at the diner. I’m hope Smitty continues to investigate what’s going on between Bill and Martin. And yeah, Tomas has more chemistry with Eva than he does with Kat.

Will doesn’t look too thrilled though 😂😂😂😂 And, agreed. It is too bad about PM

What a masterclass today was. Great acting, great writing. Episodes like this (and like yesterday's Days) are truly what soap opera is. And I agree with everybody that every character's actions are defensible in some way. Giovanni Mazza is still shining brightly. His scenes with Jane Elliot were the best part of today. I'm so looking forward to seeing their relationship grow. And I'm also looking forward to what's going to happen with Brook Lynn and Lois, and how they're going to come back from this. Amanda Setton killed it as well. Plus, this is a much better way to use Lois/RS than that My Fair Lady ripoff that they did last year. And I couldn't be happier that Dante's sudden animosity towards Gio didn't lead to the reveal be dragged out for any longer, because with the way that GH is sometimes, I was really worried that it was going to be. This storyline can go in so many different directions and I'm totally here for it. Hopefully, Gio is kept in the Quartermaine's orbit, as opposed to Sonny and his dopey family. Speaking of Sonny's dopey family, I enjoyed Rory Gibson's scenes with Wiley. He seemed believable as his father. But I also thought that his scenes with Sasha were a little... ehhh. I won't compare him to Chad Duell though. Trina and Kai were really sweet too. They're no Sprina, but I enjoy them together. And Kai looked hot too 😍😂😂 And despite the height difference, I'm glad that they didn't have Tabyana tiptoe to kiss Jens. That's a Sprina thing 😂😂😂

It's worked with me. I've got 16 shows on my 'Continue Watching' list 😂😂 6 AM EST. When it isn't Daylight Savings Time, it gets uploaded at 5 AM
