Not much happened in today's episode, but we did get to see some Kate/Marlena scenes, more cop shop interaction, and Bo throwing out Chelsea's computer (which he should have done after her last email stunt). Surprisingly, I wasn't all that interested in S&K today. Tomorrow's show looks a lot better...

LMAO at the Captain America pounce.

Marlena OWNED today's show. Once again in possession of the Salem brain too.

I actually loved John's scenes with Abe too (I try to ignore TMFKACK - The Man Formerly Known As Chris K - whenever possible). John not wanting any part of it, then in the end realizing that it's the only thing he can do to keep his family safe.

Marlena owned Kate so bad. A class ring? Marlena hasen't even been around EJ more than two short times and she knew the dude's bad news the first time. And I loved how DH played this scene. Made me feel better about the fact that she was speaking to Kate. The fact that she rushed in without being welcomed was better than if they'd hung out.

And then... that lovely, sexy last scene with J&M. Loved the connection (Screw Timberlake, the DHs are bringing sexy back), and the way his leg was between hers and those grins on their faces. And the fact that John can't trick Marlena. She knows him, and she knew something was fishy. Marlena lesson #98673 JB, don't tell her the DiMeras are connected to Italy then a few weeks later tell her you're going there on business. The girl knows you.

I FELT Chelsea's pain when Bozo threw that computer out. Only I would have been out there fast enough to save my baby from getting cold and ruined.

Marlena looked so pretty today! And I loved her sweater. She looks great in her dressed up suits, but I love casual Marlena.

Enjoyed the Bo/Chelsea scene where he had his hands resting on her shoulders, soooo close to her skinny little neck! I do enjoy Chelsea, though--what a great actress Rachel Melvin is! I hate what she does, but I enjoy watching her do it. And no wonder she's such a mess with the kind of advice Grandma Kate gives her. I also enjoyed Hope throwing Patrick out of her house and reminding him Bo is her husband. Finally, she's getting her brain and her personality back...hopefully, she won't revert over this B/B photo and whatever stupidity Bo is about to get involved in.

I'm enjoying this week's episodes so far and get the feeling that we're bulding up to some great stories. Hogan may not have had enough time to really wow us for November sweeps (it's been good but not great), but I think by February we'll probably be in the middle of some really good stuff.

Great episode today. I'll talk about how great the show was later, but DAMN did anyone see the previews for tomorrow? GO EJ!! SLAP THAT BITCH!!!!

HA HA, Patrick is gonna get OWNED by EJ.

I enjoyed the Steve/Kayla and Bo/Chelsea scenes the best today.

I thought it was kind of interesting the parallel b/w the Stephanie/Max scene where Max was about to call things off and then Stephanie started hyperventilating and then Kayla started hyperventilating after Steve was about to leave/tell her the truth about Billie. I wonder why Hogie decided to write that parallel scene? It's obvious that he wanted to draw comparison b/w those scenes for some reason. Why?

The Bo/Chelsea scenes were pretty intense. Loved Peter Reckell's portrayal of restrained anger towards Chelsea. That scene played out pretty well.

Not great, but an ok Days episode today....

I FF'd through a lot of today's show. I have to say, Stephanie is really starting to grate on my nerves, although I still like her for the most part.

You're not the only one, HSAD! Stephanie is annoying a lot of the fans as of late. I really feel bad for the actress, Shayna Rose. She's not that bad of an actress. It just sucks that her character is such a whiney snot-faced b!tch.

More Steve/Billie love even though it only lasted the first part of the show I hate Chelsea! When will this whore grow up?

Yeah, November Sweeps wasn't the greatest, but for such but for only coming onto the show a month beforehand, Hogan and the other writers did a good job. I can't wait to see February though!

I think Rachel Melvin is doing an awesome job as Chelsea. You nailed it perfectly today as the daughter who knew she was about to be in big trouble with her parents. She had all the looks and mannerisms down perfectly today. I loved Bo throwing her laptop out and then Billie turning around and telling her that basically they weren't gonna take any crap any longer.

I enjoyed the Steve and Kayla flash back today, but I'm ready for Steve to remember everything, and for him and Kayla to get involved in the EJ investigation.

One thing i'm loving about the show is that people are not always in scenes with the same people everyday. Marlena has been on 2 days in a row, and only had one scene with John. We know they are going to be in a big storyline together so it has been nice to see them in scenes with other characters so much. I think the writers are doing a good job of involving the entire cast in the show.

Yeah I think by February Hogan will have everything in line to produce a much better sweeps. November was good but not great. I think December and January will be better them November as we build things up.

Today's show did not have alot in terms of excitement but it was incredibly entertaining.

Liked John/Roman/Abe. John was so resistant but realized he had to do it. I liked how he tried to hold true to his word but knew he had to do this to save his family. I liked how he used BB as his cover and Marlena kind of wondered if something was up.

Marlena/Kate was great. I never understood their friendship given what Kate and Sami have gone through but today they didn't feel like close friends. I love how she warned Kate and has already picked up on EJ's sinister nature. Good feeling of tension in the scenes where everyone is talking about EJ. You can tell we are building to something big.

I like Rose and Stephanie but she is way too worried about her parents. Care for your mother but let your father go out for bit!!! . Poor Steve . The hyperventilating was not a problem for me because I like the fact that kayla has not made a miraculous recovery like some would and it is realistic for her to be upset about her brother being with Billie. Loved the flashback.

Billie/Chelsea was great. Pinson is rocking and Melvin...I just love her. Peter Reckell didn't go overboard and showed the anger without shouting. He was subdued and it worked. When he put his hands near her neck and you could see him restraining himself from shouting and losing it...wow. I don't he would've hurt her but you could tell the anger was boiling over. Loved when he tossed the computer out. Chelsea's face was priceless and the way Bo said he didn't care...fantastic. I also am kind of frightened for Salem with Kate tutoring Chelsea on being like her

What made me the happiest today was the Bo/Hope/Patrick stuff. Last week there was backlash all over the net about Hope going [!@#$%^&*]y and tossing Bo out. Well, this is why people should always watch the show first before going nuts because she didn't (at least not yet anyway). She was clearly upset but she never even shouted. She shouted at Patrick instead when the dumbass decided to invite himself in and act like a stalker. Hope is back and I like how all this played out. The ending with her calling out to Bo was good. It is clear the Patrick assualt is going to be more of a problem then the picture and I like that. The picture caused more trouble for Steve/Billie then anything else and only served as a way of bringing up the trust issues that still exist between Bo and Hope. I really like how this went down.

Tomarrow looks good. Go EJ!!!

Tomorrow's show looks a lot better...

I really hope so!

I flove your banner Bree!

OMG, I can't freakin wait for February and May sweeps 2007! I can already see them being awesome, even if November has been somewhat underwhelming.

Maybe I'm missing something by being mostly spoiler free....but the previews at the end today made it seem like Hope has another change of heart and now wants Bo out again? If so, that's really lame on the part of the writers. Hopefully that's not what it seemed from the preview. I loved Hope more today than I have in a loong time, so I hope no crap happens again with this.

I liked that Hope was kicking Patrick out even though Bo had given her reason to be upset. It wasn't that tired "Bo did bad so run to Patrick" routine. Regardless of what Bo does or doesn't do, she has to see that Patrick is the skeeziest lameturd in town. So I was happy with that today.

While watching Peter Reckell in his scene with Chelsea was juicy, I'm still not sure how I feel about his "don't care" attitude. The anger, I get. It's the "I don't care what you do" stuff that bugs me. Oh and that laptop, I cried when he threw it out. Mine's been in the shop for nearly 6 weeks now, I'm undergoing excessive withdrawal and to see a good laptop go to waste like that rips my little cybergeek heart out.

Don't like hyperventilating Kayla.

Roman is still useless.

Kate and Marlena were fun!

Really enjoyed to day's show. PR was fantastic! Throwing out Chelsea's laptop and telling her he didn't much know & didn't much care is where she has driven him. After he has spent the entire past year giving her chance after chance, evn at the cost of his onw marriage, he finally got to the point where he has had it! Enough is enough. If she feels that in order to get her way, she has to mess with everyone's lives to do it, he is telling her that he has reached the point of no return. I now feel that if she screws up just once, that's it. He's done. And.....I don't blame him.

Steve & Kayla is somewhat interresting, but now she's testing him to see if he really ahs his memories back. She knows him better than he knows himself right now. The story needs to pick up, but at least it is now somewhat interesting.

Roman guiltying John into helping him & Abe was a necessary thing. But.....he will always be Chris to me.

A good show today, and tomorrow looks dynamite!
