He can stay, along with Theo and Johnny 😂😂 But I think it’s time for Kristen to go. And honestly, maybe even EJ.

Kelsey Kiriakis. Not the name that I would've picked for the kid lol but I'm curious to see what's going to happen for all these characters, especially Stephanie, even though I still have mixed feelings about this storyline, and about Jeremy's part in it. I'm looking forward to her scenes tomorrow. Plus, the foreshadowing with Stephanie was really shadowing again today lol the baby is adorable though. As for Alex and Joy's reunion, I enjoyed it but it was kinda messed up by RSW's acting choices. He tried to squeeze out tears again but looked like he was hurting himself. And I also thought he looked a little uncomfortable holding that baby. And I'm glad that we got some follow up with Ari and Liam, and that we saw Liam's first day of work at the bookstore. It was nice to Ari put Sophia in her place though. Unfortunately, just like with Alex and Joy's scenes, those scenes were a little messed up by one of the actors in the scene. That crazy wild-eyed look from Rachel Boyd didn't work, even though based on the spoilers, I think that's what she/the writers were going for. I liked that Ari was there for Liam too. And I actually wouldn't mind Gabi being the spoiler for her and Liam, especially now that Gabi knows about Liam's part in the Dimera kidnapping. It's in character for her. And I still think nuAri is doing a good job though, but she sounds a little like Daphne from B&B 😂😂 Speaking of Gabi, her and Phili's scenes were ok. And Philip looked really hot at the beginning 😍😂 I like them together, but they really need to have Gabi's secret, and Theo's feelings for Gabi really be pushed to the frontburner again. All of that, along with Ari/Liam, the business storylines, etc. need to be tied together much tighter though. Doing that could lead to huge ripple effects across the canvas once these storylines reach their climax.

I did get that impression last year, during the whole Dalton's lab assistant thing, and after it was revealed that Emma was the one who introduced Cam to his new gf. But luckily, it looks like it's been dropped. Gio is too good for Joss anyway. But I do agree that Gio/Emma need some conflict. I love them, but they're too happy 😂😂

Yeah, I admit it was a little corny and dorky… but Gio 😍😍😍 So I didn’t mind it that much 😂😂

Interesting. It almost feels like they're setting up, or at least trying to set up, a big May sweeps

Hmmmm... is Kyle Brandt gonna be stepping into the ring with Seth 'Freakin' Rollins sooner or later? 😂😂

Same here. They were first starting to get together when I started watching Days full time... when they sang Sixteen Going on Seventeen in the park 😂😂😂😂

Gio, I love ya, but the NYC Subway is not like an orchestra. Not at all 😂😂😂😂😂

His two endgames 😂 Even though I think Chloe could also be endgame for Philip too

Well, I sure am glad that there are still fans out there that are so devoted to their ships 👍 I'm looking forward to seeing everything play out with Xander/Sarah/Brady, and honestly, I hope it plays out for a while. Because that'll make Xander and Sarah's reunion all the more sweeter, like John and Marlena's in 1997. As for Brady, since Nadia Bjorlin's most likely unavailable, I say bring back (a recast) Theresa to create more conflict for him and Sarah. And for Xander too, since the whole thing with the forged letter about Xander's paternity got dropped pretty quickly. There was still plenty of meat left in that storyline.

I would've thought you were more of a Patrick Swayze kinda guy 😂😂😉

Sounds like an ok week... even though Jeremy leaving is stupid, and Kristen and Sophia are just annoying. I'm interested in seeing Chad/Marlena though. And Jada/Shawn (finally!)

One year of Paula/Jeanne. And I gotta say... things can be a lot better than what they are right now. They started off strong and the change that they brought to Days was really, really needed. But since then, they've gotten a little boring at times and made some wrong/pretty stupid decisions, some of which were clearly choices. And it's too bad, because there are a lot of things that I'm liking about Days right now, and there's so much potential for good storylines and conflicts that could play out for months, or even years. They, and everybody BTS at Days just need to do more. Lots more. And further use the characters that fans actually want to see. And realize that when they present themselves with a good idea, they should run with it, regardless of any budget or BTS issues. There are plenty of ways to tell a good story without a big budget, as we've seen on Days before lol. The one thing I will give them, without question, is that Days is no longer being written by someone who uses it to project his own endless supply of issues on to everybody and everything. And that's a good thing, regardless of how bad or boring an episode is. As for today's episode, welcome back, Joy... I guess. I figured this dangling plotline needed to be addressed at some point, but I have mixed feelings about it. She/AlexAnn Hopkins got a really raw deal the last time she was on the canvas, and I'm interested in seeing how she's gonna be used this time and what may happen to Alex and Stephanie in the process. And I hope we find out the reason why Joy's first run was so clunky and messy. But at the same time, this baby thing feels so unnecessary, in general. The whole reason this kid even exists is because of Ron's obsession with RSW, and that totally handcuffs that, IMO. And there are much, much better ways to cause conflict for Alex and Stephanie that have nothing to do with Joy, as we've been seeing lately. And like I said in the spoiler thread a while back, I could probably get behind this if Hopefully, Stephanie turns to somebody else as a result of this storyline. EJ? Xander? Philip? Anybody. And welcome to Days, nuVictoria! Both Sarah and Xander were really sweet with her. And I wouldn't mind her somehow playing a part in Xander and Sarah's inevitable reunion somehow. And yeah, this is a nitpick, but why is that big kid still in a stroller? 😂😂 I did like Xander going head to head with Marlena over Basic Black though. I completely understand why Marlena doesn't want to work with Kate anymore lol but I'm curious to see what's going to happen for Marlena/the company now. And also, what's going to happen when she finds out that she was named a beneficiary in Stefano's will. As for Kristen and EJ, their fight was ok. And the slap was pretty good too. The biggest problem with all this was just Kristen and EJ, in general. I would've liked their fight a lot more if they had involved any characters other than them.

True, Gio and Emma's trip to NYC was probably just an ad for Disney, but I'll be honest, I never thought that, in 2026, we'd get a location shoot like that on a soap again. I liked it. And, Gio was just a total sweetheart 😊😊 I hope Liz continues to have a part in Willow's storyline. It actually seems like a good and effective way to use her. And while Michael looked hot today, his scenes with Jacinda didn't do much for me. And this whole "Nina is the boss from hell" thing that Jacinda keeps going on about is not necessary. Sometimes, it almost felt like there was a civil war in the writers room over Britt. Where one side wanted her to be the Britch, while the other side wanted her to be more like a tragic heroine/viable romantic partner for Jason.

I've gotten that message too sometimes. But if I refresh or click back to the previous page, it's goes back to normal

And as a thank you for sending me pictures of Tom, here's the evolution of my other British hottie, Jon Lee 😉😂 Twinky Jon 😍 Hunky Jon 😍😍 And, Daddy Jon 😍😍😍

Conner's Chad's first scenes with the Hortons. They were actually the best part of today. And just like on Tuesday, I feel like Conner Floyd played it in a similar way that Billy Flynn would have. I still say it would've been nicer if we had seen Chad's actual reunion with Julie though. Based on their scenes today, it seems like Chad and Julie's relationship is going to continue and it really should. Their friendship has always been so nice. And I liked that Chad was there for Jeremy too. It really is too bad that they aren't going to work together that much. But I am looking forward to Chad's reunion with Jack and Jennifer. I liked that Julie was there for Jeremy too. But I have mixed feelings about Jeremy being the one that's Unfortunately, the rest of today was kinda boring. It wasn't particularly bad, except for Leo, who just came off like a creepy stalker again, but nothing else really interested me that much. Even Stephanie finally having scenes with her parents didn't do much for me, even though Stephanie finally getting a gun could lead to something interesting happening. There did seem to be a lot of foreshadowing in their scenes today. And I hope we get to see Javi's new bf at some point, if he actually has one.

I think that KT and the character of Britt, in general, works much better when she's written like she was yesterday, and not as campy, comic relief that has random fights with Carly. They could use a little conflict lol but they were so sweet and dorky. I loved it 😊😂😂 I couldn't help but laugh and smile when Gio said, "I'm gonna show you... a whole new world!" 😂😂😂

Finn Carr is still killing it. He did a really good job today. I’m somewhat interested in Curtis’ suspicions that we heard at the end. It could lead to something good happening. And of course, Gio and Emma 😊😊😊😊😊

Oh, that goes without saying 😉 Even when Days is boring/bad, there’s always something worth seeing 😂😂 This kinda feels like a Noel Maxam shift to me. I don’t remember them ever using Leo Howard’s martial arts background as a part of Tate’s storyline. I mean, if Tate also had a background in martial arts, he could’ve used those skills on Doug III 👊🏻👊🏻😂😂😂 I can still see that happening, at some point 😂

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 All these presents and it’s not even my birthday yet 😂😂😂

A Lani/Kristen reunion! As much as I can't stand Kristen sometimes and still think she needs to be written out, I've always enjoyed this friendship. It shows a different side of Kristen that we don't often see. It was nice seeing them get all caught up. Too bad that she went back to being annoying again as the episode went on. I don't care about her plan with Sophia at all. A large part of today's episode was also devoted to the fallout of Xander and Kate setting Johnny up. In spite of Josh Taylor's voice lol I liked seeing him and Kate going head to head again. I thought it was a pretty good showdown, and I'm looking forward to when the truth finally comes out. Roman, bringing up Kate's devotion to her family and how that devotion has sometimes hurt other people was a good idea. That's how you use history. I also didn't mind Marlena questioning Xander about it either. She definitely needs to be included more in this storyline, just based on the fact that Johnny is her grandson. I'm interested in seeing what happens to all these characters as the storyline progresses. Hopefully, the lawsuit actually goes to court too. Plus, based on Johnny and Chanel's scenes today, it looks like he may need his grandmother sooner or later. And I'll always enjoy Brady/Tate scenes. They're so believable as father and son. I expected Tate to decide to drop out of Salem U but I have mixed feelings about his plans though. As nice as it would be to see him working as a personal trainer/martial artist lol I don't see how they could get any conflict or drama out of that. And he and Holly need a much better storyline than anything involving Sophia anyway.

Mike 😍😍😍😍

Idk lol I don't hate Cat, but it's just... Idk.

I'm looking forward more to his interactions with other characters though. There's been too much Dimera lately. Maybe they'll remember Chad's flirtation with Belle 😂
