RIP

The cruelty and humiliation of it all was what I hated more than anything. That's why I'm worried about

One thing I've really been enjoying about this thread is the different interpretations that so many of us have been having about everything. Actors, characters, writing, directing, sets, etc.

I honestly think that humiliating Nancy and Gwen as much as possible was the biggest reasons for both of those messes, and then you had Jamey just making everything ten times worse.

I try to pretend the same way about Craig/Nancy and Dimitri/Leo, but it never works 😂😂

Yeah. It all felt so rushed

Here's an example for you

Ok, those were some great cliffhangers 👍 It was a really good way to cap off the first week, but at the same time, I felt the pacing was a little off in today's episode. And yesterday's too. Things felt a little rushed, almost like the New Years Eve episode of Days. I understand why they would choose to do it like that but I really hope they go back to the pacing of the first three episodes. And Dani begging Bill to take her back seemed a little strange to me as well. Throughout the whole week, I never got the impression that she even wanted him back. Maybe it was meant to trigger today's cliffhanger, but I think it could've been established and built up a little better. And getting back to yesterday's episode, I think we should've seen the immediate aftermath of Laura being run off the road too. Why end Wednesday like that, if in the next episode, Laura was gonna be perfectly fine? I did enjoy Dani's scene with Chelsea and Naomi though, and that they seem to be firmly on Dani's side. We'll see what happens next week lol

😥

You'd think people who are always boasting about how much they love to use history would get it right all the time 😂 Seriously, the two of them together was one of the worst, if not the worst team in soap history and I couldn't be happier that they've been broken up.

I can't stand him. He's always boasting about his "love" for the genre and knowledge of all the soaps, yet treats it all like a big stupid joke and seems to have no understanding of what soap opera is To me, that's not love that's contempt. And he clearly doesn't do any research except maybe to read a sentence or two on a wiki somewhere. Liz and Marie was a perfect example of that. I was watching some episodes last week and I found proof that Liz and Marie did make peace in the 80s, so that petty bitchfight in Doug's funeral episode was not necessary.

Agreed it's almost like she's playing a different character I've always thought Ron had writing talent; his overall personality is the biggest problem. The thought of a suicide mission is still in the back of my mind. But there's no excuse for Jamey, who is hands down, the worst soap writer in history. Ron deserved firing just for him alone.

That’s two days in a row now that Marlena was used effectively 👍 I liked her counseling Johnny over everything that’s happening with him and Chanel. Chanel’s procedure seems very sudden and random though. I think there needed to be some more buildup to that, before she just went right ahead and did it. And kept it from Paulina too. But I did like Paulina using her own history with Lani as a way of cautioning Chanel about adopting Tate and Sophia’s baby. Still not feeling nuSophia though. She plays it like too much of a victim or pushover and that’s not the way the character should be, and hasn’t been since she made her debut. And the lies that she told Amy were a little ridiculous. Kinda not looking forward to when Amy meets Johnny and Chanel. And yeah, I know that this is a nitpick but nuSophia’s voice is so monotone too 😂😂 This whole adoption thing would be a lot better and a lot more compelling to watch if EJ and Kristen’s bullshit prevented it, which could also cause problems for Johnny and Chanel as well. And considering the spoilers, I hope it does. And, I still love the Julie/Doug III relationship despite the whole necklace thing hanging over them. I’m curious to see where how that storyline is going to play out. And how the Doug III/Sophia/Tate triangle is gonna play out as well.

Now that I think about it, maybe it would have better if Martin had been Vernon and Anita’s son, instead of their grandson.

Absolutely. I'm already thinking about what I'm gonna write about it in my post that morning 😂😂

Naomi, FTW 👍 Coming off of Ron Carlivati's Days, it's very, very refreshing to see a child step up and defend their mother like she did today. The tension between her and Bill, and her former friendship with Hayley is a very good dynamic that I hope the show continues to explore. As green as Derek is, I'm liking him and Ashley together. They're a sweet couple, but they just need some conflict lol hopefully it comes from Andre. Speaking of Andre... 😍😍 I don't mind the quasi-incest (Again, Days lol) I appreciate the messiness that this could lead to, especially if it leads to Bill being jealous on some level. And, I can also see this leading to some kind of scandal, either in the community or in Martin's career or something. Sleeping with your brother in law's nephew could lead to a lot more gossip too 😂😂 Btw, Leslie looks so much like Telma Hopkins lol

That thought has crossed my mind too. EJ ordering Fake Rafe not to sleep with Jada, and how he had "evolved" over the years was the first thing that didn't seem Ron-like to me. And I've always suspected that it wasn't just B&S that led to firing. Hang in there! 👍 We're in the home stretch now 😂😂😂

I think I’ll take this train to work today. RIP

My God, Brady is so pathetic. I don’t mind him being messy but this is ridiculous. I can’t believe he’s going to allow himself to be manipulated by Kristen again. I’d rather he relapse into drugs and alcohol again than do this. Seriously, how could a man like John Black have sired such a loser? If I was Ava, I would’ve told Brady to go f*ck himself. And honestly, this enabling that Brady and Kristen are doing is disgusting. They deserve to lose their kid. And yeah, Brady needs to play a much bigger part in Tate’s storyline too. The Belle/Marlena scenes were really good. Belle breaking down and talking about stupid she’s been lately was the best part of today. And this was also a great way and the right way to use Marlena. But again they missed an important mark; Belle pointed out that Fake Rafe raped Sami but yet still hasn’t mentioned the fact that she was screwing the other guy who raped Sami. That’s an important dynamic that needs to be explored. But at the same time, I feel like Days has been handling the subject of rape with a lot more care lately. And honestly, that doesn’t seem very Ron-like to me. Maybe this was another factor that played into his firing.

Wtf???

Totally unbelievable RIP

Honestly, it makes me wonder how B&B’s lasted so long 😂

This f*ckin show, man. I’ll never understand how they constantly expect us to hate one character who does something bad but then love another character who does the exact same thing 🖕 And yeah, hiring Joss to work for the WSB is like hiring Luigi Mangione to work in the healthcare industry. I did like Gio vs. Tracy though. They’re gonna be great together once the truth about Gio comes out. And, I know Chase meant well with his suggestion to Brook Lynn but yeah… 🤮🤮

So, Remy's already over Electra? Ok.
