I'm already tired of Mimi today. Could she please STFU and stop acting like a moron? I wish Max could turn around and beat her up. lol

Everything else has been good today. I've always liked Abby/Chelsea scenes - great actresses that work well together.

I liked the Max and Mimi scenes - but only because of how well Darin played them. The thing with Mimi is she has nothing that sets her apart from any other girl, she's so easily replaceable, and she's annoying to boot. At least it's not as niece, though!

I loved the family scenes today between Bo, Hope, and Kayla and Billie and Chelsea. Very nicely done.

I'm ready for Patrick to say buh-bye. I have a sneaking suspicion that he's one of the three men, somehow.

Mimi, SHUT UP. I'm really liking Max lately, and I can handle Max/Mimi (if it's Mabby in the end). But she was especially annoying today.

And LORDY is Billie not only pathetic, she's as dumb as a doorknob too. "You're trying to tell me something, and I'm just not getting it." Uh, Billie, when an AMNESIAC guy with a WIFE that you suddenly decided you luuuuuurve starts acting distant and is stumbling and says he wants to tell you something...GET A FREAKINIG CLUE. I love Julie Pinson, and I can really tolerate Billie with her in the role, but the character was annoying the crap out of me today. She was all, "I'm happy for you" one minute and angry at him the next. Billie has no one but herself to blame. Stop falling for men who have already met their soul mates, ya dummy.

I did like Billie's scenes with Chelsea. I enjoyed seeing Roman interact with Bo and Hope, and Abby...it's so great to see characters talking to each other.

Loved the show today otherwise. I wonder who the other two men are who will be killed? Shawn, Sr.? Roman? Patrick himself?

lol - I think so too - That is exactly what I thought when EJ said that.

Sad thing is, I don't want to see my Patrick die or leave...I think I'm his only fan though. lol

Oh, you are. Brody's hot, but Patrick's a waste of space - it's not like he's ever shirtless anymore, either!

Patrick, EJ, Willow, and Stephanie have ALL improved by leaps and bounds in my eyes in the last three weeks.

EJ and Patrick because Hoagie stopped straddling the fence with them like JER did and like Hoagie himself did at first. He made a creative choice with each character and ran with it, and it works! Decisiveness can go a long way, JER!

But, with that said, I am ready for Patty to leave.

Yep, Patrick has improved, just because they stopped waffling. Doesn't mean he has to stick around. He's fulfilling a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, time to go. In any case I no longer think of Brody as useless as an actor, he's showed a little bit of something something so I'm glad for that. But it's time to move on.

Wish I could say the same was on the horizon for Mimi. And while I think Darrin Brooks isn't totally useless, he and Farah need to work on their "bantering". Something about the younger actors is that they often talk at each other instead of to each other. Little things like timing and body language reactions and stuff, they could really work on to make it feel more natural. It kind of feels like they're just acting in front of each other, they need to play the scene more instead of show off their chops. Can improve with a little work.

Really liked the pub scenes. Abby/Chelsea, Chelsea/Billie. The only thing that got me laughing was Roman asking Abby and Chelsea to help -- it's just that the Salem PD has enlisted so much outside help recently that you wonder if they do anything.

I know, I know, its the SPD. Of course they don't do anything.

Overall quite liked the show.

Roger Iman directed today so if the younger actors seemed a bit off, I think maybe it was b/c Iman didn't give them good directions. If Albert Alarr had directed, I think the scenes with the younger cast would have come off a bit better. With that said, Sophia L. Grier did a good job with Mimi's dialogue. She kept it short, sweet and maintained Mimi's sarcasm throughout her scenes with Max. IMHO, Mimi is at her best with the sarcastic edge to her....

My favorite scene of the whole show didn't involve the plot at all. It wasn't part of the story. It was just Hope and Kayla ganging up on Bo and teasing him at the pub. What a cute scene!!!

I think the 3 men that EJ will eventually target are 1.) John; 2.) Shawn, Sr. and 3.) Roman. Probably, Shawn Sr. would be the last to go and we could finally learn the (rewritten) origins of the Brady-Dimera feud. It would be a nice way for Frank Parker to leave the show. The Dimeras have been after Roman for a long time. So that would be understandable too....

It was nice to see Chelsea's humanity on display again. She needed more depth and Hogie is slowly providing it for her.

All in all, a good show. Another set up show, but still good...

I'm watching the show now...and this is my favorite episode with Max so far..I love how Hogan has revived this character...and now Max actually has chemistry with his two costars: Farah and Ashley...the max and mimi scenes are hillarious so far..Great stuff..I'll comment more later..

Today was a good episode.

I enjoyed Steve and Billie's scenes. I felt for Billie. Here she is, hung up over another guy that chooses his "true love" over her once again. Can't Billie get a man to herself just once? I like that Chelsea comforted her mother. Redemption coming along?

EJ and Patrick were good. James Scott plays powerful villain so well. I'm with those that think that Patrick has improved a lot. After 2 years, we finally have a direction for Patrick. He's not flip-floppy like he's been since he was brought on.

Max and Mimi are cute. My MABBY love cuts off any enjoyment though

My favorite scene today was also the Kayla/Bo/Hope scene. MBE has awesome chemistry with PR and KA; I love Bo's relationships with his family members. I just wish Kimberly and Shane were back too; then it would really feel like old times.

I don't have any clue as to the 3 murders, but I'm wondering if Steve is going to be involved in the 2nd one?

Chelsea is growing on me as a character. Hogan is giving her so much depth to her character now.

Another good show.

Mimi wasn't that annoying today, but I still want her gone. I liked the Brady Pub scenes, and Julie gave a pretty good little performance. Chelsea acting like a human being is wonderful.

The highlight was little Elvis acting evil (I hope this is still not a spoiler because it was revealed in Monday's show EJ was the SORASED Elvis DiMera). Man does James Scott know how to play creepy and slimy. Brody was good as well, baiting him and being the "conscience" when it came to EJ's plan to murder John.

Good little show today.

I forgot to add that i loved when EJ refered to himself as Elvis Dimera...I think i got chills!!!!!!! James Scott is so delicious in this role...

Awwww, Billie....you had to see this coming, girl! I just love Julie Pinson, and she plays heartbreak so well. And the hug from Chelsea was a great moment. But this housing thing still has me stumped. Isn't Billie running Countess Wilhelmina for Titan? Can't she afford an apartment on her own without Chelsea needing to get a job? Not that it's wrong for Chelsea to get a job, but evidently rents are very, very high in Salem.

Bo/Hope was great and enjoyed Kayla's interaction with them. All these actors have such great chemistry; they really feel like a family.

Does anyone else think Mimi is starting to show an amazing resemblance to Cheryl, the pro dancer who's won Dancing with the Stars the last couple years? I think this is a very cute look for her, but if they would cut back on the eye makeup it might make enough money available in the budget to bring back Kristen and Vivian. Just a thought!

He so is.
