Haven't seen it yet but based on EE/prevuze, here's a very brief description of what happens on today's US show:

1) Hope asks Patrick to drop the assault charges against Bo.

2) Billie visits Bo and posts bail for him.

3) While in middle of Lumi making out, EJ calls Sami to ask to meet him at Mythic Communications. She decides to go over there and EJ asks her to become a partner at Mythic with a 1/3rd interest in the bizness.

4) Mimi asks Bonnie for money to go on her trip to Atlanta with Max.

5) Bonnie blackmails EJ to give her some cash. She then hands Lauren the surrogate the cash but Lauren wants more money......

Please discuss...

A "setting-in-motion" day. In that respect, there was a lot accomplished.

1. Patrick and Bonnie clashing.

2. Mimi holding Bonnie to the truth and telling her the deal with Patrick, Shawn and EJ.

3. Bonnie blackmailing EJ and innocently allowing him to see the error of Patrick's ways with deathly consequences according to the looks of EJ.

4. EJ and Kate clash about Sami working with them.

5. Sami falling into EJ's plan thinking she is one on top.

6. Hope bargaining with Patrick to drop the charges on Bo while submitting herself to his will.

Patrick is so dead. The only one who hasn't got the death wish for him that we've seen is Dr. Bader. She could be the one to actually do him in and viola, they are both gone.

I loved Lumi today. They were awesome

Patrick is SOOOOO dead. But Bonnie also kind of threw Mimi under the wheels of the bus, too. E.J. now knows that Mimi has a lot of information that she shouldn't have.

What is with the schizophrenia in the Bo/Hope story? Every day the characters act differently. After Hope's little speech to Bo after reading his letter, it sounded like she was completely done with him -- "the ride is over". Now, today, we're getting all these enigmatic looks from Hope and she's willing to make a deal with the devil to keep Bo out of jail. And Roman's telling Bo no one believes he actually beat up Patrick--and yet Abe fired him and everyone seemed to be blaming him last week. Are the scriptwriters just putting their own spin on things each day or is there some kind of conspiracy going on like talked about in the spoiler thread? If it's the scriptwriters who are responsible for this lack of continuity, then Hogan needs to get them under control!

Also loved Patrick saying to Hope that he knows people are wondering why he didn't fight back--that should be another clue that Bo's not responsible. Wouldn't Patrick have at least tried to defend himself against the bully he's always claiming Bo is? While he's clearly afraid of E.J. and that's why he didn't fight back, that wouldn't apply in a fight with Bo. Bo should have at least had a scratch or something.

All these inconsistencies are just giving me a headache!

Agreed! I mentioned all these inconsistencies in a post last week, especially in regards to Bo and Hope. It's getting ridiculous. This BETTER be on purpose, because if it isn't, some of these writers need to be let go ASAP. It's disappointing things are being written this way (again, if it's not on purpose). I hope to God Patrick dies soon. I also hope EJ is the one to do it, and then he frames someone...I would love to see James Scott do all that.

Hope had a line today when talking to Patrick--"I don't play games with people's emotions--that's not who I am". But she's been playing games with Bo's emotions for months, hasn't she? I really hope all this is resolved soon--whether it's ending the storyline or firing writers. So much of Days has been well written lately that these inconsistencies with Bo and Hope are just more obvious.

I haven't watched yet, but I just want to point out that if Bo and Hope were back together since at the latest Sept/October after Patrick's hearing but possibly before, then she could have been telling Patrick the truth--at least about not playing on Bo's emotions.....

But I guess that would only work if Bo and Hope were working together to investigate both Patrick and Billie....

I do remember noticing a lot of inconsistencies in Hope's behavior back at the time of Patrick's hearing, although I can't think of any specifics right now. But sometimes I wonder if I'm just overthinking things.

There were alot of them. The inconsistencies started around the time of Patrick's hearing and Bope reuniting on their boat. Then we had Bo's first arrest for assaulting Patrick where Hope claimed she saw Bo provoke Patrick and he didn't say a word. Patrick was the only one that did. The last few episodes there have been a ton more of these instances. Shawn's sudden 180 in regards to his father last week, Hope flip-flopping constantly, Roman and Abe being so trigger happy in suspending Bo and firing him (I think there is definitely more to that), etc. There is just alot going on that doesn't make sense. It may be the writing but I am starting to beleive ademption's theory is right.

Today's show was good though.

Loved Mimi/Bonnie and Bonnie/EJ. Both Bonnie and Mimi are in the line of fire now that EJ knows they are nosing around.

Loving Abby and her attiude. This story with her, Max, and Mimi is pretty good (except for FF) although we all know who I am rooting for .

EJ/Kate was great. I always like when the Kate/Sami feud comes into play. LUMI were so great today and Ali looked amazing in that dress. Liked the end when EJ made Sami that offer.

Loving Pinson and Billie. Her scenes with Bo and Roman today were good. I like seeing Bo and Billie as friends. The Hope and Patrick scenes gave me a feeling that Hope's deal with Patrick is going to lead to something huge. I liked that she did it though because it is something Hope would do to save Bo. Liked the end with Bo wondering what Hope did to get Patrick to drop the charges.

Not a bad show. I like what I hear about tomarrow.

I missed today's show. I'm not sad though because it sounds like today was a LUMI day Although, I am a little pissed I missed EJ and Sami at the end. Much love for them!

I like the twist someone mentioned about Dr. Bader being the one to do Patrick in. It would be killing two birds with one stone. As of right now, I don't see Dr. Bader staying around after this storyline, which is a shame because I never knew the actress had the potential she does.

If Patrick had given any conditions to Real!Hope she would have shot him down instantly and he would have had to been begging for her to see his side. I miss my Hope.

The Bo/Bille conversation at the police station lead me to believe that they are finally going to put an end to the relationship between these two, except as co-parents for Chelsea. Bo seemed to be telling Billie that they have to stop the emotional dependency they've had, no more rescuing each other, no more crying on each other's shoulder, no more clothing falling off. So if that ends and with Billie's involvement with Steve possibly ending soon, I wonder what they are going to do with Billie. I love Julie Pinson and wish they would give her a great story of her own, no married men allowed!

Today's episode wasn't bad, though Sami and Lucas were a little so sappy for my tastes.

The one thing I had issue with in the episode was the remark Sami made to Lucas about her crush on Brad Pitt til the whole Anjelina fiasco.

I thought that remark was in rather poor taste and disrespectful to John Aniston.

John is a very classy man and has never exploited his daughter or family. He keeps them very seperate from his acting.

Days should have had the same respect and not make a cheap joke out of one of their veteran actor's daughter's divorce issues.

Days could have just as easily have had Sami say "Tom Cruise, til he started jumping on couches."

I miss Hope too....She has backbone with everyone it seems except Patrick...I for one will be glad when Patrick is out of Hope's presence for good.
