I'll give you this much, Julie and Peter do have chemistry, but a big thumbs down to Sheffer that he even went there with this. WTF!

Now we have Chelsea capturing it all on her camera phone and she'll show it to Hope.

What has happened with the writing? Where is Beth Milstein?

She is on the writing staff. This Bo/Billie thing won't last long at all. It is tied up real quick trust me so I wouldn't worry.

Hope is a b**ch but she has been better the last week or so. I want BOPE together if only so we can get the real Hope back

The best thing about this was that I did not see this in the spoilers at all. So, it was great to see. And shocking.

Actually it was in spoilers. The spoiler was "Bo and Billie bond" and the Chelsea part of it was in spoilers too. It was not specific though, which is why I was even shocked by how romantic the scenes actually came off as. That is why the fanbases were angered all weekend-they read the Bollie spoiler so they probably didn't even watch today much like alot of them won't watch Billie in Steve and Kayla's story. It's like I was saying in the spoilers threads-fans just read the EE and so on and don't watch if things like that were on. It makes me sick that happens to be honest.

King, oen thing you'll discover about me is I'm SO anti-couple. I could careless about actor chemistry- it's the writer in me. It was just so random and such a backpedal. Contrived, even. I could careless about BOPE at this point but, at this point, the ship should have been far sailed for BOILLIE.

I'm actually glad that they didn't give Steve a memory of Kayla while he was singing that song to her! Don't get me wrong, it surely would've been a nice touch, but I like how they're taking things slow with them and not unrealistically rushing for him to remember her.

Bonnie was jokes! I can't believe she would do that. Stealing from her own son is .... terrible beyond words can describe! The funny thing is, he's obviously going to figure it out. I mean only so many people could've taken the money. He knows that Mimi saw him give money to Shawn since she told him. He knows Shawn knows of his stash because he saw it. And, he knows Mimi and Bonnie were at his place when he left. So, any idiot can figure that out! Can't wait to see what excuse or lie Bonnie uses this time.

I hated Bo and Billie and what they did! We were FINALLY starting to move away from these two. Hope will obviously find out about this and there goes Bo's chance, again! He's such a moron!!!! I can understand that Billie was semi-heartbroken and without thinking she went straight to Bo, but what the [!@#$%^&*] is wrong with him?

I want Willow gone, NOW! She pisses me off but I can't quite figure out what I hate about her Maybe its just that Shawn is an entirely different person now that he is with her, and needless to say, I don't like this person that he has become.

If Bollie were on Y&R, there wouldn't even been an uproar because people watch for good stories and quality there and not just to see their couple together and happy.

ITA. Maybe that's why I'm not to fond of the "super couples" on Days. I just don't get the hype and they really don't matter to me. I watch soaps for the drama and action, not for "super couples".

I'm a big Bope fan, so I did groan when Bo and Billie started going at it. I don't think it was shocking though. They have done the same thing in the past when they feel low. I feel like instead of just dropping things that Hogan is going to deal with it so the characters can move on. I think this will be the last time we ever have Bo and Billie turning to each other for comfort. I enjoyed Steve/Kayla. I thought when he was singing the Rose that he would have a flashback or Kayla would start singing with him. It was a great ending scene though. I liked how they used Caroline telling Mimi to try telling the truth for one whole week in her scene with Bonnie. Love how all the characters are actually moving around town, working, and eating (Hope is actually eating all the time now!).

I thought Days was great today, but in a less splashy way than on some recent episodes. The interplay was fascinating.

I was so touched to see the hope in Billie's eyes when she visited the hospital to see Steve. She knows this relationship is tenuous at best, but she has put herself out there emotionally. Given her past mistakes and heartbreak, that is huge. Her pain when she felt Steve emotionally retreating from her was so obvious. It was very telling that Steve did not give her or even mention the necklace he had Hope buy for her. But we knew this would happen.

Juxstaposed with Steve/Billie is Bo/Hope. Bo is feeling very positive about Hope and thinks they are slowly getting back on track. All their shared memories really buoyed his spirits. Then, Patrick shows up and pulls Hope away. Bo is not very good at being patient and letting things work themselves out. So he is hurt as well.

This leads us to Billie going to Bo for a friendly ear. But it turns out both of them are needy and things go a bit far. It was not planned. Neither of them really wants this. So we will see tomorrow how they handle this sudden passion.

Bonnie was a delight. Between her horrible taste in clothes, her neverending quest to hit the jackpot and the nimble way she lies at the drop of a hat, JE gives us a treat everytime she is on! I almost feel bad for poor Patty. LOL I wonder how he will explain to EJ his mommy stole all of the cash EJ gave him.

The Steve/Kayla scenes were most touching. I can only look forward to the back and forth when Steve does remember his life w/Kayla and her joy.

Somehow I don't hate Willow/Shawn. I know it's temporary and we all know what Shawn really wants. He is still acting out over all the big revelations in his life lately. This ship will right itself. I do enjoy Beamer's work. He is a talented young actor and very watchable.

Building a good story takes time and patience. Destroying a show takes much less time. I think Sheffer is doing a great job.

Yes, Bo and Billie were backstepping quite a bit today, but even I must say that that last scene with them was HOTTT! I loved the music they used for it too, so seductive lol. I can see why they would lean on each other though. That's a thing I like about Bo and Billie. No matter who they're currently with, they can always rely on each other.

Patrick and Hope was snoozefest just like always. I did like Hope's look when Patrick went ballistic when he couldn't find the money. Is she finally seeing his true colors?

Bonnie/Lauren was hilarious! How ironic is it that Salem's biggest con artist is finally getting conned by someone else. I'm so glad they're involving Lauren more into the storylines. I really thought we would never see the surrogate and a baby would just pop up 9 months later.

I'm a SHALLOW fan through and through so today was a highlight for me. I liked the look in Willow's eyes when she saw how much Victor gave Shawn. I bet she's never seen that many zeros in her life. I really hope DAYS doesn't go the route I'm going with Willow in my blog. I want it to be original

Steve/Kayla scenes were nothing but magical. That last scene was classic daytime television. Welcome back DAYS!

If Hope is moronic enough to fall for Patrick and his blatantly obvious bad ways then let Bo get some happiness and pleasure!

Add me to the list of people who are liking Mimi thanks to Willow. I hope Mimi punches her in her ugly face and knocks her teeth down her gold-digging, whorey throat.

I now know the purpose of Willow. It's to Restore Mimi. Props to Hoagie. I thought it was impossible. But it's well on its way now.

I don't know if Willow was necessarily needed to redeem Mimi in the fans' eyes. I think Mimi just needed to be put back into her place, and that's as a secondary character. Mimi is not a leading character, nor is Farah Fath a leading actress.

Taking Mimi back to the way she was is what makes Mimi and Farah likable again.

Yeah Drew you are so right. Mimi is where she belongs and her character is back to the way she was. I mean she is mouthing off at people like she used too. I am actually liking her. Willow does make me like her more though.

As for Bo and Billie, I know most people on here don't mind it all including me but many outside of here. Like King said though, who cares. I enjoyed the scenes I just think they shouldn't have made the tone as romantic as it seemed. They have great chemistry and I too like that fact that they rely on each other. It like their friendship and Billie doesn't have Jack anymore so I like her having someone. Hogan shouldn't just drop it and he isn't going to. I think many fans thought he would drop all of JER's stuff but that is impossible. It has to make sense and that is what he is going. I did think it backpedeled but I also think it served a purpose, which was to show us that these two will always have a bond and should have a bond. They did love each other at one time and just because other writers messed around with Billie/Bo/Hope before does not mean Days should forget that Bo and Billie did have feelings for each other and still have a bond. I am glad Hogan is showing us that. They were HOT and the chemistry is clearly there.

I do agree that Steve/Kayla scene was just classic soap. It really was a perfect ending IMO.

Building a good story takes time and patience. Destroying a show takes much less time. I think Sheffer is doing a great job.

Very well said. And I also agree with King, if Hope can have her little trysts on the side, she has no right to look down on Bo for doing anything with Billie, even though she probably will if she sees the pictures, which I'm guessing she will. I want Bo and Hope together in the end, but right now I have no problem with Bo and Billie as long as it's not dragged out into a big triangle story. When the one you truly love isn't there, it makes it alot easier to go to the person youve had feelings for and chemistry with in the past....so it makes sense to me they'd be drawn to each other, even though Billie has moved on. I don't think what happened today means Billie or Bo have any longterm intentions to be together.

I agree, Drew, but I also now so clearly see that as Willow's role. If Mimi kept going head to head with Belle, that would have done nothing to endear her in fans' eyes. If Mimi just went back to her plain old, good friend self to Belle and had no rooting factor from fans, we still would not care about her.

Honestly Willow is beginning to bother me. What is her role? What does she bring? Is it just to cause more friction for Shawn and his other two girlfriends? What is it? She is pointless and she is holding up my Shawn and Belle reunion. I also hate how there turning Shawn into an idiot for Max and Mimi.

I don't buy that Shawn would be soo stupid as to think 1,000 dollars for delivering mail is normal.

According to the Sony board, Annie Burgstede (Willow) was just signed to a 3 year contract.

Willow is completely unessecary. I realize DAYS needs unconnected characters, but Willow is the equivalent of cat puke. It doesn't help that we have an actress with weird-ass facial features and a voice even more annoying than Farah's playing her. What is it with this show's casting department and hiring actresses that sound like lushes?

If they wanted a hooker to open her legs for Shawn, they should have brought back Sarah Buxton as Crystal Galore. Granted, she was in porn, but the writers could have changed her profession. Sarah and Brandon would have been hot. Now the poor guy is stuck with someone who looks like a mad scientist fused Hilary and Haylie Duff together. Hogan and company have got to make Willow an EJ operative, because she is making me root for Shelle all the way. Hell, she's even making MIMI more likeable! And poor Shawn has been trashed even more than normal....at least Brandon is good enough to make him watchable.

At the rate Hope's been acting, I don't care if we have Bollie. I know Bope is the end result, and that's fine. Like others here, I'm not watching to have all these supercouples back together. The only ones I do want are J&M, Shelle, and Steve and Kayla. Everyone else can have a big orgy.
