I wouldn’t mind Sophia being the villain again. She was last summer and we were all rooting for her, mainly because Tate and Holly were so selfish 😂😂😂 They just needed to establish her motivations a little better… and not include Javi, Leo or Melinda in it.

Today was ok. Some of the costume choices were a little... ehhh though. It's the 4th of July, why were Tate and Xander in long sleeve shirts? I mean, I like long sleeve shirts, but not on the 4th of July lol. And, why was Rachel dressed like Little Orphan Annie? 😂😂😂 And there was wayyyy too much Javi and Leo. Even though we got a hint as to why Javi wanted the baby, the two of them having him is probably gonna hurt the Sophia storyline more than anything. And like I said before, something like Sophia seeing Tate and Holly get back together, or realizing that Tate still cares more about being with Holly than he does about Sophia or the baby, should have been the thing that prompted her to leave the baby at the firehouse. Tate and Holly's scenes today would have been the perfect time for something like that to have happened. Btw, I have to admit, I rolled my eyes a little bit at that ending. But there were a lot of good scenes and conversations too. As surprised as I am that Maggie has become this anti-Xander, I still like seeing them go head to head, and that she ended up comforting him in the end. They work well together both as friends and enemies. And it's a very good use of Maggie. And I liked the Brady/Sarah scenes too, and how Brady used his own history with Kristen in order to soothe Sarah's fears about co-parenting with Xander. They do have some chemistry. Nothing crazy, but there's something there. The little family bonding moment with the two of them and Rachel was nice too.

My hatred for her aside, less Joss is a good thing 😂 In any situation, a horrible character, played by an inconsistent actress is just not sustainable.

I wouldn't mind a triangle. Or a quad with Kai. But there's something about Emma/Gio. I haven't this way since Sprina 😂😂

I'll always love Emma/Gio scenes. They're so good together 😊😊😊 Those are the characters (along with Trina) who should be leading the younger group right now, as opposed to the WSB honeypot who once again showed what a spoiled, entitled, hypocritical POS she is 🖕 And I definitely didn't like seeing Ms. Wu being so beholden to Sidwell either. She's always been a lot smarter than that. I am interested in Marco blaming Sonny for Natalia's death though. And the potential conflict that it could lead to for him and Lucas. And, very interested in Tracy trying to keep Gio away from Sonny. GH really needs to start building up that relationship again.

Yes. Days is very studly 😂😂😂

That's actually my main criticism: in terms of style, it's too B&B-like.

I'm speculating John Brady Black, and they'll call him JB for short 😂😂 Agreed. They needed to establish a much better and much stronger reason why Sophia left the baby at the firehouse. One that didn't make her look a villain

It's a Boy! I could've sworn that in the spoiler video, they said girl, but whatevs. This is speculation, but I'm assuming that somewhere down the line, he's going to be named after John. But damn, that was the quickest labor ever lol. I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of what Sophia did today though. I know that she didn't want the baby but the way that it was all handled still seemed very sudden and random to me. And so clunky too. Even clunkier than the Jude baby switch. I hope it ends up working out though... and, in terms of the storyline, makes the whole messy teen situation ever messier. Especially now that Tate and Holly are reuniting. They were really sweet today. But at the same time, I have to say that maybe their reunion would have been a much better catalyst for Sophia's actions today. And I'm definitely not sure about Leo and Javi's part in the whole baby situation. Again, Ron is gone. Things like this don't need to happen anymore. Javi did look good in his uniform though 😊😊😊 But poor Doug III Because of the situation that he's in and because of the actor that he had to work with today. Dude was as cliche as that Carmine guy from a few years ago. But I did enjoy his scenes with Julie, even though she shut him down again. Peyton Meyer and Susan Seaforth Hayes do work really well together, and I hope that Julie forgives him at some point. And I'm glad that Steve was able to finally find the necklace for her. Speaking of actors working well together, I can say the same thing about Suzanne Rogers and Lindsey Godfrey. I loved their conversation about their love for Victor and Xander, and the type of men that they were. It was such an honest, in depth conversation and it was definitely one of the highlights of today. I'm really looking forward to seeing #Xarah and their storyline play out for the rest of the year.

I thought that's what Days was going to do, but now I'm not so sure.

Honestly, idk if I'm a fan of this. If anything, they should've waited and had Sophia give birth at the same time that Tate was off saving Holly and Ari from Doug III's loan sharks. She could be so angry at Tate rushing off that that could've been the catalyst to make her go into labor, and then drop the baby off.

Today was a little slow. But Ari sure loves her some Doug III. Too bad that he had to shoot her down 😂😂😂 Ari's definitely the kind of kid that Will and Gabi would have lol and the actress has been doing a pretty good job too. I'm interested in seeing where she, Doug III, and the rest of the younger crowd go from here. This has the potential to become such a messy mess and I hope the new writers go all out with every dynamic of this storyline, in addition to what we saw in the spoiler promo. Everything surrounding Johnny's arrest was the best part of today, even though Kristen was a little annoying. There really has been no change in her since the new writers came in. I have mixed feelings about EJ being Johnny's lawyer though. It could be pretty interesting, especially if it leads to conflict for him and Chanel but idk. I just don't love it. I still say that roles that Johnny and Chanel are playing should be reversed though. And, Tate and Sophia were actually kind of nice today too, so I'm not really sure why she's going to do what we saw she was going to do.

Let’s hope 😂😂😂

Thanks! It would be a great way to revive the family; the Horton name barely exists anymore lol

That shows what a great guy Colton is though, for not spilling 😊😊😊😊😊

I think he did put his shirt on at the end though 😂 But yep, I'll be here all summer 👍😂😂😂

Hell, she's had that same hairstyle since Passions 😂😂

One of those returns that I'm looking forward too 😊😊 He looks good.

Of course 😍😂😂 But I was a little distracted by Gio 😂😂😂

See ya, Natalia. Seriously, what a lame duck this character was. Nothing they gave her to do even worked in the slightest way. I won't miss her, but hopefully her death will lead something that has huge ripple effects across the canvas. Lucas and Marco were really sweet though. 😊😊 And yeah, Portia was still a douche lol but at the same time, I admit I haven't been this interested in Portia/Curtis/Jordan in a long time. The ending cliffhanger was really good too!

Either Philip or Xander

I can't help but wonder what the reason was

Another one for my buddies! 👍😍😍😍

Have to admit, I am side-eyeing a few things but a lot of it does look good and I'm excited for it! Looking forward to Johnny's trial, the 60th anniversary event and all the returns, the Kiriakis civil war and the revival of the Tate/Doug III feud.

If he is gonna turn out to be Jeremy, I hope he comes back with a teenage son to mix it up with Tate/Holly/Sophia/Ari/(Doug III?)
