Loved Bo and Hope today. Hope had her brain back and was the Hope I love, with her clear thinking and concern.

Shawn reminds me of a simpleton. Who would fall for EJ's job offer? Poor Beemer, having this pitiful story. Bo and Hope's child should not be such a pushover. Love that face, he is a great actor. Laughed at EJ and Beemer's scenes, though and look forward to others comments.

Stephanie and Steve scenes were good although Kayla doesn't warm me at all so it's only for them that I care about her at all.

Marlena had a very good reason to advise Billie to keep true to Steve/Nick....since John is a man in a very similar situation.

I hear that tomorrow is must watch TV though.

Ooops, forgot Kate. Well, John got his eyes full LOL. What I love about Kate's sex scenes is that she is totally involved and gives as well as takes.

I am confused.... where does Kate work these days? I haven't been keeping up with Days lately due to RL so I am kind of out of the loop, and since JER never showed people working and Hogan has only been here for about a month I am not sure, last I thought she worked for Basic Black, so why would she be giving John the number for her assistant? Shouldn't he already know that by now?

Mabye she works at Titan.... but I don't know...

I'm confused on that one too daysfan. The last I heard, Mythic Communications was a branch off Basic Black (like Austin Reed & Co.). This may be because they're using the old Basic Black set for Mythic Communications.

I'd rather see Basic Black than Mythic Commuincations. Why do we need a television network?

I don't get what the big deal about the Marlena/Billie scene. John had, and has, amnesia. She's in that situation. And Billie isen't taking this out of nothing, Steve's pursued her with her telling HIM that he shouldn't. If Billie wants to get herself into that situation, then she can take the consequenses.

And John & Marlena are so adorable. The fact that she wasen't happy that he was risking his life to keep her save and stuff... and they were so cute sitting all close and intimate. I love that we're back to him stroking her hair and face. It's the real J&M and I love that.

Re: Kate/assistant: Kate and EJ started a television station together. Mythic. She left Basic Black. Thank goodness that company is basically dead. John's a cop at heart.

Kate and EJ have formed a partnership and own several new companies. The huge one is the communications MYTHIC which owns a television station along with other methods. Austin is heading up MYTHIC in Zurich for Kate and EJ.

I wonder what happened to Basic Black. Seems John and Kate both abandoned it.

Marlena commented that John's desk work must be getting to him. That he was bored with it and is why he has enjoyed the time working with Bo. Like the fact that Hogan wants to remember things, but JOhn hasn't been workin in a very long time. This is so silly

Okay, isn't EJ a racer? I would much rather him be a buisness man like he is now but JER or whoever originally had him a racer and one of Max's arch competitors....

And, I would rather John be a cop too, but if he is going to be a cop, honorary cop, whatever.... just explain who is running Basic Black and I will be fine with it.

I bet you anything that John eventually gives Basic Black to Belle so that she can run it. Maybe Sami could join her? Then we could have Victor and Lucas on the other side forming a business rivalry b/w the 2 corporations.

All of these Shawn scenes have made me !! I'm glad that he at least questioned (somewhat) keeping the fact that he was courier a secret from Kate--EJ's business partner. I guess Hogie is emphasizing the extreme naivete/gullibility of Shawn's character. I'm thinking back to when Jan had Shawn lie about being her baby's father back in the day. I believe that Hogie is emphasizing Shawn (and other characters') defects so that he can deal with them head-on and provide character motivation for changing these flaws in their character...

Anyway that look Hope gave Steve after he asked her to pick up a necklace for Billie was priceless!! Classic, just classic!! LOL!!

Good show today!!

I could see that happening too. Don't forget about Philip since he will be showing up in January a very changed person.

EJ got out of racing when he decided to be involved in the business angle of racing rather then the driving part. I guess ARC did not do well and I think it became MYTHIC. Kate was business partners with Austin and Austin did never have an actual office space so that isn't surprising. MYTHIC just kind of popped up and I think ARC became MYTHIC with Kate and EJ as the brains behind it and Austin holding a high ranking role on it. Kate said she left Basic Black and I remember her saying it was uncomfortable for her to be there with her past with John and the fact that she hid Claire's true paternity. John has people caring for BB but I do think he will eventually give it up or to Belle. I think Hogan gave a hint about today.

Loved J&M and their scenes. I liked when they were talking to Kate to and she was kind of flirting with John a bit . This is the Marlena I love and remember though.. Her scenes with Billie were good and I am glad she brought up how John has mostly no no clue about his past. The parallels between John and Steve/Nick being brought up was a nice touch. I am glad Hogan is trying to show the viewers why Steve feels drawn to Billie and why this is not all Billie's fauly. Marlena's line about the Brady men being cute was nice.

Love seeing Shawn/Caroline again. Famiy scenes are always my faves.

I am so glad Shawn at least inquired about what EJ was having him do. I get he is ok with Patrick but with all the suspicion around Patrick and EJ being a relative stranger I was happy he at least had some questions even though he was still gullible as hell. Shawn/Bo was good and I am loving Hope this week. Her talk with Steve was great and the look on her face when he asked her to buy the necklace for Billie was hilarious .

Stephanie was good today. I thought Steve needed that push but I also think Steve was in shock over all this and he honestly doesn't know what to do since he has no memory. His frustration was clear and SN played it well. Stephanie did need to say that though to motivate him and push him to at least try to help Kayla. Rose was good in those scenes and I love how Frankie just keeps popping up and being supportive. I will miss him.

John catching EJ/Kate having sex had me LMAO . His line about what she has gotten herself into now was hilarious. EJ/Kate are hot and I am loving John again.

Tomarrow looks like a very good show so can't wait.

Well, I was wrong. I now see why Marlena suggested that to Billie, even though I did say yesterday that I made that comment judging by the preview. But I sure missed the boat, and see why she would say that to Billie. JP is doing a wonderful job right now playing Billie, as is SN with Steve/Nick. He just doesn't know what to do, and is playing that conflict well. SR has really grown on me, and I'm in her corner. I just hope when Steve does regain his past, he will put his foot in the backside of whoever is responsible for ripping apart his family.

Kristian once again proved why she is such a great actress. That look she gave Steve was perfect! She reacted like "Your wife is laying on her deathbed, and you want me to get your girlfriend a present?!" Wonderful scene.

Bo just doesn't know what to do with Shawn. He is just like him. Shawn is more worried about being a rebel than thinking about whatever circumstances he gets himself into. He is more stubborn that anything else. I'm once again glad that Bo and Hope found out today that Shawn is working for E.J. Under the other guy would would have found out in November, 2007. Hope doesn't know how E.J. is, butBo almost looked like he would throw up when he found his son is working for the man he is investigating for attacking his family. Wow. E.J. has to be doing that on purpose, so if anything goes wrong, Shawn will get nailed instead of him.

Drake has really improved over the last month or so. He's finally back into his element. I'm glad he was the one who found out Kate is sleeping with the enemy. Boy is she in for a surprise. I'm also loving the cat-and-mouse game that is going on between E.J./Patrick and John/Bo/Roman.

Even on the days when it is downright boring, Days is still better than it's been in a long tme. There are things I still don't like about Days, and hope those get fixed in time, but the show is fun again. You can see it in the actor's performances. They look like they are having a good time. I just want everything to kick into high gear, and, it should. Unlike NS from the past three years, we might just have some exciting stuff to look at.

Great show again. I love how every story is getting moved along. Shawn working for EJ, Bo finding out that same day!, John findout out about Kate/EJ. Hogan is setting this up for some great stuff. I'm sure Shawn will at some point start to help out Bo. This will probably be what causes Belle/Shawn to have to go on the run. Although the Victor stuff coming up sounds like it could cause quite a bit of trouble for Belle and Shawn. I thought the stephanie and steve scenes were so good. SR did an awesome job. I can't wait to see Steve try to help out Kayla.

Pretty good show today.

Hope is finally acting more like Hope. I'd really like to see that continue. The look she gave Steve when he asked her to pick up the necklace for Billie was deadly but she couldn't turn down her friend. Even if she thought he was being a brain-dead, boneheaded idiot.

Speaking of which... *g* Steve just really doesn't have a clue, does he? It's like he's mimicking a real person but really doesn't have the vaguest notion how to be one.

I thought Stephen Nichols and Shayna Rose were amazing in their scene together. She told him what he needed to hear and I think some of it got through, if only because he doesn't want to disappoint her. I'm imagining all kinds of angsty goodness coming up for Steve. Bring it on, baby.

I thought Hope would have reached through that window and busted Steve''s head down to the fat meat for asking her that.

So did I. It was great. I am happy Hope and Billie are being civil but I don't want them buddy buddy so I was happy to see that look on Hope's face. It means there is still something there and I like that. I am liking Hope this week as she is herself again. Hopefully it continues. I am also loving Billie being used so much and Pinson is rocking with the material Hogan is giving her.
