Poor Javi doesn't even have his own character 😂😂 Hopefully, Paula/Jeanne rectify that. Agreed. Literally, the only time I saw some kind of spark with her portrayal was that day that she ran into Doug III in the Square.

He looks like he's wearing a mask, so could it be the Salem Strangler?

Welcome back, Marlena and Steve! And just in time to get involved in Bo’s storyline. I liked the way that everybody absorbed the news about Bo, particularly Steve and Shawn and Jada. Jada using her own history with Marcus to help Shawn get through his guilt about Bo was a good idea and if that’s used to help propel this storyline forward, and also Shawn and Jada’s potential relationship, I think that would be a good idea as well. But I will admit that the hospital working on an experimental drug that could help Bo seems very sudden and random though, especially since the hospital was supposed to have been in such a dire financial situation. As for Johnny and Chanel, I don’t mind the pivot in their storyline either. It does seem like a normal reaction to everything that’s happened lately and much more believable and realistic than something that we would’ve gotten a few months ago. And based on his scenes today, I think on some level that it’s providing another red herring in the Who Shot EJ mystery. But I don’t think Johnny is the shooter though. And I’m really glad that he went to Marlena to talk to about how he’s not ready to be a father yet. This is how Marlena should be used; being there for her family and friends, not her dopey patients. I’m really looking forward to his scenes with Chanel tomorrow. Btw, I know that this is a nitpick, but how was Chanel able to just walk right into Salem High to talk to Tate and Sophia? Even if she was there for Felicity’s swim meet lol Speaking of Tate and Sophia, I don’t mind them going to prom together but again, I think Holly or Doug III should’ve been in the episode as well, in order to balance out their scenes. We haven’t really gotten Holly’s POV yet since the breakup.

Yeah. Something from the history, which is why I was worried. Hopefully, Paula/Jeanne take the lead on it.

Paul would be the best person to come back and help Steve run it, but part of me doesn’t want them to recast either 😂 There’s a funny, but kind of mean response to your post, so I’ll pass 😂😂😂 Sort of mixed lol some people like her, some people don’t. Me, personally, I think they should write her out

I hope. One thing they could do to help Days rebound is to get rid of all of Ron's recurring villains/lackeys. Rolf, Clyde, Orpheus. All of them.

Good. Honestly, I don't want to see Rolf ever again 😂

We definitely saw that today with Brady, and it was really refreshing after the way he's been these past few months. I didn't here anything about GG leaving, so I was really surprised by that. But now I'm beginning to wonder if Rafe is gonna be all set to go but

And we all thought he was gonna be Charles/Dougie LeClair or Peter Blake 😂😂

Tate just be throwing punches all over the place right now 😂😂😂😂 But I'm really looking forward to this storyline and the ripple effect that it's going to have across the canvas. And Bo's too. I have mixed feelings about the "One Stormy Night" thing though. It sounds like a Jamey pitch.

Today was a long one. 48 minutes. There seemed to be a lot more depth and emotion throughout the entire episode, particularly in the Rafe/Jada scenes. Plus, those scenes didn’t feel rushed or treated like a big joke and that’s always a good thing. And Elia Cantu always does a pretty good job when she plays Jada’s scenes as though she’s hurt and heartbroken as opposed to angry and nasty. Rafe accepting a job offer out of town was a surprise too. Is he really leaving? Or is he gonna change his mind at some point? I was a little confused by Gabi today though. She was acting like Philip and Xander took over Dimera like months ago, as opposed to just last week. Gabi asking Brady to intercede with Philip and Xander on her behalf could lead to something interesting happening, especially with the way that he responded to it. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t seem so weak and wimpy. Btw, Gabi’s new office set isn’t bad either lol And I still can’t help but think that EJ is only pretending to try to be a better person but I enjoyed his scenes with Belle. I also enjoyed her scenes with Johnny and the way that she comforted him. Johnny’s confession was a surprise too. And it totally makes sense considering everything that’s happened lately. It could be some pretty good conflict for him and Chanel. The cliffhanger at the end was pretty good too. And I’m glad that it’s going to lead in to the storyline that we’ve all been waiting for since 2023 😂😂 Overall, I’m impressed. Paula/Jeanne really have hit the ground running. This all has me excited for next week already!

Ok, did Carly seriously mention St. Peter and the Pearly Gates to Sonny today?

And just a heads up, there may be some unplanned preemptions of all four networks coming up soon because of the Pope.

As much as I'd love for Kristen to get over Brady, and for that to finally be done with, Idk about her and Xander. If anything, I suspected that Xander might cheat with Stephanie after he finds out that Sarah knew. Maybe even have them be a couple for a little while before he and Sarah find their way back to each other. Stephanie needs her strength back, and that means getting her away from Alex 😂😂

Yeah… I still can’t help but wonder if there was a reason why Ron’s run ended right in the middle of the hospital fundraiser. And I don’t know if these are actual changes in the writing already but I noticed little differences from the very beginning, most notably in the Kayla/Maggie scene and with the music playing in Horton Town Square. There seemed to be more of an interest in Kayla, in general. She was used so much more effectively today. And I don’t think we’ve ever heard that music before either. I also like that the interest in Kayla continued on in her scenes with JJ as well. Her being part of the EJ storyline is a good idea. And Sarah/NuRachel having scenes together? That was a surprise too. I didn’t think Days even remembered that Sarah originally thought Rachel was Baby Mickey. Too soon to make any judgements about NuRachel though, but I will admit that for the first time in a long time, Rachel didn’t seem like a demon spawn. Unfortunately, Kristen hasn’t changed at all but I think that might be more on Stacy Haiduk than the writing. She was exactly the same as she always was in her scenes with EJ today. Btw, I don’t buy that EJ is suddenly deciding to be a better person. The act could be interesting though. But we did get a classic Ron moment, which I actually didn’t mind because Xander looked hot 😍😂😂😂 All in all, today was an improvement over yesterday, but at the same time, I don’t think it’s solely because of the writer change. I’m sure we all know why yesterday was so lousy, and quite honestly, it’s a little sad that Ron went out that way. But I am so looking forward to what happens next. It really is a brand new day.

Woke up this morning singing this song. I wonder why 😂😂😂😂😂 Not a chance. But there were some things that I liked: what’s happening onscreen right now for example. Paul/Christopher Sean Exactly. Even if things aren’t perfect over the next few weeks/months, the guy who’s responsible for most of the problems is finally gone.

That’s one thing that I’m hoping changes under Paula/Jeanne

We both know who, but he doesn’t want to be full time 😉😂😂

😂😂😂😂 Ehh… it’s his own fault. And I’ll gladly do it again when Jamey’s last episode airs 👍😂😂 I actually don’t mind that, because most of the ideas were good. The biggest problems were always with the execution.

It’s possible. Days has actually rebounded pretty nicely in the aftermath of that Body&Soul garbage, and the cruel toxic shitshow that it was in 2022 and 2023. Admittedly, there’s still usually one really crappy, poorly written episode every week but we all know who’s fault that is. For the most part, I think Paula/Jean just need to remember that they’re writing Days of Our Lives, not Days of Our Leo or The Rob&Greg Hour and especially not Ron&Jamey’s Shitfest 😂😂😂 If, suddenly, everyone’s favorite book becomes Pride and Prejudice again, then yes, they were the ones writing during the strike 😂😂😂 Idk. With the way that Ron is, I can’t imagine Days would have gotten so good in his final weeks if he had known that he was on his way out. This is the man who basically declared war on Abigail and everyone around her just because fans didn’t like one storyline

Not sure why there was so much confusion about Ron’s last day but whatevs. The day we’ve been waiting for since last July is FINALLY here!!!!! And what a coincidence that Ron’s last day is a classic Ron/Jamey shitfest, with fluff, filler, people acting out of character, Leo and Javi making me want to vomit, Alex and Xander looking hot, Alex being an arrogant douche, Stephanie being nothing but a doormat/little woman, etc. And I can’t help but wonder if there was a reason why he was fired right in the middle of the hospital fundraiser arc 😂 And yeah, I’m also not sure why single guys like Brady, Philip or even Doug III aren’t part of the Bachelor auction but whatevs. Hopefully, it won’t matter sooner or later. I actually am a little interested in the potential conflict for JJ/Gabi that was started today, but mostly because, if they go there, it’s going to be handled by different writers and not RSW’s #1 fan 🖕 Regardless, tomorrow is the start of a new day and I’m really looking forward to it. We finally made it, y’all! 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

Friggin Y&R interlopers 😂😂😂

Agreed. I would've written her/Kristen out a long time ago I wouldn't mind that lol especially if it means the feud between them continues to grow.

In the beginning, I suspected that but now I'm not so sure.

I thought it was meant to cast suspicion on Amy. Thanks for posting! This looks really good
