Just watched today's show. -- It's a winner just for being Leo-free. -- Billy Flynn was really good today. -- I'm glad Chad brought up Jennifer's pill addiction. She's such a self-righteous and sanctimonious bitch. -- Thomas, go to bed. -- The Bereavement Book Club meeting was as dreadful and as deadly as I thought it would be. -- It was impossible not to notice Deidre's cold shoulder, which was turned 90 degrees away from Suzanne. -- If no one will tell DH to knock it off, they can at least turn Marlena's chair towards Julie's. Instead it was turned towards Maggie, making it even more obvious these two don't get along. -- Jeremy is looking so fine in that tight blue top.

Right. Instead they ruin Dimitri by having him fall in love with Leo. Are you kidding me???

RSW is a himbo whose acting is limited, but he looks good, so I'll take him every day of the week if the choice is between him and GR. At least he's not annoying as hell and an embarrassing stereotype. When Heated Rivalry has taken the world by storm, we are stuck with this complete embarrassment of a gay man. I know Rikaart is supposedly a great human, but I hate the character and the performance.

GH didn't record for me today on Xfinity, and I am so pissed. I checked Reddit, and seems as if it happened to a lot of us Comcast DVR users. I don't have Hulu, so I guess I have to wait for it to show up on the ABC site -- which isn't the date of airing.

Honestly, the actor playing Kyle would work better with a guy as a romantic partner.

I think they ask Greg Rikaart's husband, and that's it.

-- Shanice reading Anastasia was the best part of the show. -- Carlton continues to be excruciatingly boring. -- I still have problems with Ted being this forgiving to Carlton. -- Please don't give these writers any idea about Vanessa and Kial getting involved. No bueno. And again with that coffee set from nowhere? -- The cotillion story has promise. -- Jacob's anger with Marcel seems a little over-the-top. -- Naomi's excuses for keeping her BRCA gene a secret are so lame. No wonder her marriage has "quakes." -- Kind of weird that Naomi went to the hospital to get cancer gene info without an appointment -- and ended up talking to a doctor who's not even an oncologist. -- Someone here mentioned Eva and Izaiah as a couple. On Monday's BTS episode, I heard them reference Izaiah as a former bad boy. I still don't see any of that, and they need to do something to jump start that relationship.

-- I love Deidre Hall, but let's face it, she's the constant in every one of these alleged squabbles. -- If Leo is the most popular DAYS character in their testing, that means they spend as much on testing as they do on sets.

I understand not airing it. Although many people watch on streaming, there's still a linear TV audience that doesn't. Losing the numbers from the entire east coast means lower ratings for the episode and for the week. Why risk that with an episode so many people are waiting for? I think BTG should have pre-empted, too.

This show is embarrassing. -- It's midnight. Is Crimson Lights open 24 hours a day? Victoria and Billy are having coffee? There are more extras at midnight than there are in the middle of the afternoon. -- The Newmans are worried about AI destroying their company. Is that why Victoria is using public Wi-Fi and Crimson Lights? -- What Is Chelsea working on at midnight on the Newman ranch? How the hell can she do anything to save the company? -- So Great to see that Nikki stays dressed in a power suit at midnight. -- The kangaroo court for Matt was pathetic. If the guy is that bad, why would you talk to him at all? -- Noah said Matt was his friend and mentor. Seriously? Is that why Noah was screwing Matt's wife? This show is so bad.

-- That coffee spot set. Now they're sending even more characters there to talk? Are they at the airport? At some mall? I'd rather see Orphey Gene's overused than to see that set from nowhere. -- I hope Madison sees how immature and childlike Chelsea is. Chelsea equates "spontaneity" with "taking drugs." Dump her, Doctor. -- Vanessa continues to be an embarrassment, wondering why her daughter doesn't come home. Hey, Vanessa, she'd be even less likely to visit if she knew you were screwing the Gold Corral Casino Mobster and running a whorehouse. -- Pretending she's operating a "dating service" is pretty hilarious. I wish Nicole -- or anyone other than some irate husband we've never met -- would call her out. -- I hope Hayley and Leslie get together. Would be great to see them blow themselves out of the water.

Exactly. Just more proof Cwikly and Ford are awful. And no, I don't want to see her and the old guy together. I'd say this show should know better, but I don't trust them. The bookstore was a bad idea from the beginning. It's suffocating and stifling, and watching extras walk around and look at the same 4 shelves of books is laughable.

Weird continuity. Will is at work talking to Electra and RJ. Then he drives home, changes clothes, and gets the BBQ going. Meanwhile, all the other characters their same conversations in the same rooms.

-- Julie running a Bereavement Book Club? Yeah, that'll bring in the viewers. -- Leo is beyond pathetic. Do the writers think we sympathize with him when he says he needs time to process his feelings about Dimitri? When he tells Javi "I'm not good enough for you"? I want Javi to be angry instead of crying all over the place. Leo is a POS.

Especially for a demented lying racist felon and pedophile who's also a warmonger.

-- That Lamon Archey vid is better than the show. Hilarious! -- Sophia can't even talk but this therapist brings in Holly to work things out with her? 😁 😂 😆 What the hell kind of quacks do they hire at this facility with no security? -- I can't believe how bad this Dr. Gregory is. It's actually funny. 😂 -- Who dressed Leo? Stevie Wonder? -- The writing for Javi and Leo is absolutely awful. -- Adios, Al Calderon. You're no soap actor.

Felt like intentional direction. The camera person was on it.

Yeah, that was it for me hehe

Yeah, I noticed that, too 😘

What a mess this all is. Have we been on the same day for the past couple weeks? How slow moving is this AI program? 😂 How did Nick get Matt into the trunk? Don't all car trunks have escape pulls? 😂 Why doesn't Nick have a cast on his leg? Why do these pain pills not work on him And how is he addicted to them in one day? 😂

-- Are we really sure that cliffhanger wasn't a dream? I find it hard to believe they'd write Willow as so unhinged that she makes a move like this. It makes no sense unless they're dumping KM. I vote for dream. -- I'm sick of Faison, too. End it already. -- I'm ready for Chase to cheat on Brook Lynn and give his reason as "She wears two bathrobes to bed." -- Rory Gibson continues to kill it.

-- I don't know, I like the RJ recast. He's doing a good job, especially in these early days -- very comfortable and relaxed. I also think he's good looking. I see criticism of his jacket, but that is in style. -- Brooke's visit to Katie made no sense. She was there for 3 minutes and said she had to get back to work. -- Why do Katie and Eric even care if Brooke finds out Eric was hired as designer? She's going to find out, so I guess this is an excuse to make Donna look even dumber. Maybe they should worry more about Eric's designs not looking like they belong in the House of Kohls.

You said the Leo scenes are great. You said Leo is front and center. You said they write for Leo because he's so popular with the audience. Throwing in a line that you hate Cwikly and Ford doesn't erase this Leo Love. The show is bad because it's become The Leo Show.

HUH? Viewership is DOWN because we're getting The Leo Show. DAYS no longer appears on Peacock's most-watched list. -- This past week was absolutely awful except for the Xander/Sarah showdown, and the focus on Leo is the reason. He is NOT a hero, he is NOT a leading character. Writing him as having interest in Dimitri just because Al Calderon is leaving is another mistake. Better to recast immediately than to make Leo look even worse than he already is. -- We fell in love with Peter Porte when he first came to Salem. Now? He can leave. Pairing him with Leo did him ZERO favors and the bad hairstyle makes it even worse. -- Mark is another one with the ridiculous hair. Doesn't work. Another character with a promising start who Cwikly and Ford have done nothing with. -- The Rachel and Sophia stuff is now bordering on the ridiculous. No one keeps Sophia out of Rachel's rooms. No cameras anywhere watching her movements. She went to the library? I guess there's no sign in and no one there to report she wasn't there. Instead, she's walking around Horton Square buying a cellphone. JFC. -- The show is CRAP right now.

Most people Believe Frank doesn't want Brenda back. I agree with that, which is why I think her return isn't plausible. There is no sign whatsoever that Frank isn't solid at GH. BTW, I'd love to have VM back. I am enjoying the show with less Sonny and do wonder if we'd go back to the Sonny and Brenda hour if she returned.
