I agree that DAYS has been bad. I've never been more than a day behind before. Now? I haven't watched ALL WEEK. On Tuesday, and even on Wednesday, I told myself I had to catch up. Today? I don't care. I love the soaps but there's too much good TV to watch to spend my time on this. The elements and the actors are all there, and this has nothing to do with budget. They are WASTING this cast. It's like watching paint dry. They get these great looking guys and do NOTHING with them. No one brought back since Cwikly and Ford started writing has had a decent storyline. It's all awful. Wasting Jeremy and Liam is palm-to-forehead stuff. Turning Leo into the star of the show is just fuc_king insane. What the actual fuc_k???

-- Carter is so embarrassing. A woman just looks at him, and he gets on his knee and pulls out the ring. -- Remy is more proof that a Daytime Emmy means nothing. Has the guy appeared in even 5 episodes since the Emmy win? -- Knowing Brad Bell's track record, Remy will see Deke and Tyler together and become jealous -- reverting back to who he was with Electra. This show is on a run of psychos, you know. -- As far as gay guys having sex, I'm fine with Deke and Tyler getting at it right away. These are young guys with raging hormones. It's 2026. The truth is that IRL they'd have sex before the weekend was over. I'm tired of the soaps being stuck in some fantasy romance that was big 50 years ago.

-- Good reveals today, and I'm especially glad they weren't dragged out. Seems like a better choice for storyline to give Dani the cancer gene rather than Nicole. -- I've been a big Kat fan, but she was embarrassing this week. All week. It was all about her, every moment. She thought of no one else. And today? She made her "I'm sorry I wasn't there for everyone" again all about her. I think she's been awful. -- I don't like that everyone i immediately forgiving Kat for her selfishness and immaturity to the point where some are apologizing to her for not giving her more understanding. Are you kidding me? -- And now Kat says "I'm going to be there for all of you!" Again, it's about her. Pathetic. -- It's nice that Anita got her own hotel-like room in which to get her cancer treatment. I guess it pays to be rich and powerful. -- This episode was paced perfectly and well done in all respects. Still, I have to say my mileage varies on the emotional pull. I personally don't think any of it was gut-wrenching or heart-wrenching.

The Eva and Izaiah coupling is a big miss for me so far. Feels like we get the same cliched conversation every day. I did a little research on cotillions, because I honestly thought they were a thing of the past and that the show was off base. I was wrong -- cotillions are still a thing, especially in the South AND in the Delmarva area, which is close to DC. While I appreciate getting two sides of the cotillion, I would have preferred that Jessica have an influence on Tyrell over time and not in one episode where she laid it all out and he became this expert on it. -- I agree with others here that the show needs another Black family. I know everything can't happen in a day or a week, but it is getting to be claustrophobic. -- I said it a couple days ago and I'll say it again: GATES needs to be careful about having us overdose on the cancer storyline. -- Now I have something else to bitch about regarding Joey. His influence over Blacks in this town is bad enough, but now he becomes a major player with the free clinic??? I hate it. -- Had to smile at the furniture update and rearrangement at Martin and Smitty's. We needed lots of seating for today's conversations with 5 characters, so all of a sudden we got 2 wing chairs blocking the entire fireplace. 😂

Yep, you're right. It's typical Josh Griffith -- he thinks this is the way to honor history. He also thinks it should remind us that Tessa isn't gay. I thought the Tessa and Sienna "Oh my God,I can't believe you're here!" scenes were cringe. All of it was cringe.

I thought the show was veering away from "fake Nathan" until the end of the show today. Dante made a pretty big deal out of Nathan messing up the evidence chain of custody, and that seems like it might be a sign that this isn't Nathan -- because would a great detective do something like that? Of course, we also have to forget all the mistakes that Dante makes. And by the way, Ryan Paevey is beautiful.

MAJOR eyeroll. Not only is she violating her friendship with Nicole, but she's overreacting like crazy. She wasn't this upset over Doug's death and has never shown this emotion over her own kids.

They need to work on those hospital scenes to make them more realistic. I also have problems with the PDA between Madison and Chelsea every time they're shown at the hospital. I don't think that's realistic or cute. The changes to the characters' names in the credits is ridiculous, period, especially Leslie's name. Why make it all busier? I've been pretty clear about how I feel about Joey. It is cartoonish and cliche. This show wants to have a big bad mobster while also keeping the actor on the show, and it doesn't work for me. That Golden Corral Casino set doesn't scream power or money, and I HATE that everything he does USES and ABUSES POC in general and Black people in particular. It's maddening. And yeah, I know that many viewers think Vanessa will take him down and has a plan. The problem is she's not written that way and LB is not playing her that way. She comes off as in love with this lowlife hood who controls all the Black people in town. Will it be another year before we get the "Surprise! It was all Vanessa's plan!" ??? I don't want it. -- That cleavage today on Vanessa did not work. -- I understand the goal with Tracey's conversation with Anita, but it made me cringe. Tracey went on and on with the negatives, imploring Anita to face up to how awful everything is. I thought it was a rough way to make the point.

Al Calderon was so bad as Javi in the final scene of today's show that I couldn't stop laughing. I mean, what the actual hell is he doing??? He can't be gone soon enough.

Exactly. Anyone who defines Heated Rivalry by calling it gay fetish material missed the point of all of it. Every bit of the sex and horniness is essential, leading to a romance for the ages.

-- In what universe are women throwing themselves at Mitch? I guess he agrees, and that's why he knew Sienna was conning him. -- Matt Clark is dumb, but the Newmans are dumber. Nick taking Matt to his death (?) by himself and without backup? -- The Noah and Sienna relationship does not work. Both actors are fine, but there's no romantic chemistry there.

-- I feel bad for Ben Gavin. He wasn't great, but he had improved. It's not his fault that Derek was a poorly-conceived character from the jump. -- Still, it's hard to believe this show gets rid of Derek but keeps Tomas. And Ashley. -- Kat needs to be alone so she has time to process everything? Uh....ok. I know it's in character for Kat to be selfish, but to this extreme? She doesn't think of anyone but herself -- not even Anita. -- The cancer storyline has been done well so far, but there's a danger with these issue storylines that they become too heavy/too much. I hope the writers navigate this properly so we don't get lectures and sadness every day. Threading that needle isn't easy. -- Leslie and Marcel hitting the sheets? Interesting, maybe, but there was nothing sexy about it. Thank you for this. Others can celebrate Lindstrom's addition to the open, but I won't. Give me Shanice or June or anybody else who isn't a white guy using POC to get rich. I despise the character.

😂 That whole round table meeting in the office was hilarious. They did nothing but talk about how wrong Katie is to use HER OWN NAME and to say her fashion house will be a failure. I mean, if that's the case, why worry about Katie at all? -- Besides, FC isn't exactly professional and smart. They get rid of Katie's huge salary but still have to cut Deke, a promising designer? -- Katie, please cut to the chase and ask Deke to join LOGAN. These episodes run under 20 minutes, and it would be nice if SOMETHING happened.

Is this a fashion trend I missed??

It's a stupid policy that works be changed. Why not keep the latest year's worth of episodes online? For example, when January ends, remove the episodes from the previous January. That would prevent this stupidity.
