DAYS: Monday

[Josh]

LOL! I'm sure it was good and I will be watching, but by golly I wanna see Billie rip Nick's shirt off and go to town...LOL, that boy is hot!!! LOL!!!

[WillenFan21]

It would be awesome if they did this because they could include Chelsea in the storyline some how. I agree with you about Julie Pinson giving a stellar performance. She did amazing acting drunk today lol.

This was my first Days in months (I havent watched since Hope and Patrick were on the island alone together) and it bored me to death. Nothing really intrigued me and WTF with Billie hooking up with some teenager thats interested in her daughter.

That restaurant that Maggie is running, is that the old Tuscanny? If so how did she get it back from Bonnie's rodeo?

Why did Willow burn down Shawn's apartment?

Why is Abe still with Lexie? How many times must this ho cheat on him for him to get a clue? I was rolling my eyes when he said she was the best thing to ever happen to him.

What's the deal with EJ? Sami and Lucas dont hate each other anymore?

How involved did Billie and Steve get?

[DrewH]

Maggie's restaurant is not the old Tuscany. Chez Rouge is an entirely new set, although many feel that the set resembles the DiMera mansion. As for Bonnie's Alice's, we haven't seen that set in months and I doubt we'll be seeing it ever again.

It's just a pissed off female's scorn. Willow gave her heart to Shawn and he just used her as a crutch to move on from Belle. When he realized that he still loved the b*tch, he dumped Willow like yesterday's news. Willow got him back big time!

EJ Wells is Elvis Banks, Susan Banks' son with Stefano DiMera. Not much has been explained about EJ's past besides his paternity. That's for 2007! No, Sami and Lucas don't hate each other anymore. I know, so stupid, but for the 43964096th time, Lucas has "forgiven" Sami and she went right back into his arms. SNOOZE!

When Steve returned, he didn't remember anything, including Kayla. He was cold towards her and found interest in Billie. The two got closer over the year, but then once Steve remember his love for Kayla, he dumped Billie. BASTARD!

[Cheap21]

EJ is really Elvis? Oh boy Days SORASing f-s up again! Wasnt the kid born in like 1996, yet he's older than Will and about the same age as Sami? This is reminding me of the messed up SORASing that occurred during the teen invasion.

So did Steve and Billie ever have sex or fall in love?

[kristi123]

well its one pm in canada and we have the day ahead episode still!

[DrewH]

LMAO! Yes, Elvis was born in 1997. And even though it is DAYS' worst SORAS since Philip, it isn't that bad. James Scott is so good and EJ is so dangerous that it works, and you completely forget that EJ should be 9, lol.

No. Sadly, Steve and Billie never had sex Billie fell in love with Steve, and "Nick" (Steve's amnesiac self) fell for Billie, but once Steve's memory returned, those feelings no longer existed. Horrible, I know.

[Josh]

So does Lexie know that she saw her half-brother shot someone???

[DrewH]

Nope. Roman knows. Abe should know. I'm surprised no one's told Lexie that EJ is Elvis.

[LumiLove]

Ok another confusing moment for me today! I usually got DaysAhead and I thought that was going to change .... but with everyone discussing "todays" episode .. Im feeling like I still get DaysAhead. I had no Abe/Lexie Scenes or Kayla/Steve scenes today. I did have Willow with Chelsea and Maggie, Tek/Lexie, Billie/Nick, Abe/Mimi/Max and Sami/Lucas/Kate scenes :S

[DrewH]

LumiLove, it sounds like you got tomorrow's show.

[Canfan]

I really liked the show today and yes Julie Pinson was awesome. I could really feel Billie's pain and her hitting the bottle made sense. I would love a revisit of Billie's addiction as addicts do frequently relapse. To me that is more of a socially relevant storyline that some other stuff that is currently airing on other soaps. Delving into her molestation and porno past would also be interesting. She is a character with a great history to mine. Her and Nick are kind of but I found the scenes tastefully done at least.

Not much really happened but the writing was so good I barely noticed. Characters having genuine discussions and letting us into their mindset is refreshing especially coming from an ABCD viewer where I have to fanwick so much of what is going on because the characters actions are so 'out of character'. It's also a nice contast to have happy characters on ie. Steve and Kayla versus the unhappy ones ie. Billie and Sami instead of all angst all the time. I can't enjoy watching soaps when they are all doom and gloom cough *AMC*.

[LumiLove]

So then what happened to the supposedly ... No More DaysAhead thingy?!?!

[GBB]

Nope, not alone. I really felt for Bilie today and she and Nick managed to make their scenes not at all sad or creepy but completely understandable. They're both vulnerable and lonely and attractive. I totally get how it happened. And yeah, it was actually kind of hot.

I think the relationship is doomed but man is it going to be fun (in a trainwreck kind of way) to watch it play out. And hopefully both Billie and Nick will come out the other end stronger and more sure of themselves.

Loved Steve/Kayla playing doctor and flirting today, it really harkened back to the old days for them. She was always patching him up and he was always a huge flirt when she was trying to doctor him. A little last bit of fun for them before all hell breaks loose, I suspect.

Sami's scene with Roman today broke my heart. {{{{{Sami}}}}}

Abe and Lexi didn't really interest me, sorry to say.

[Ives]

OK - Forgive the length of this reply. LOL But I am still wondering so much about this storyline . . .

The Steve and Billie thing was strangely written, IMO. My guess is that it was a remnant from the JER storylines. One day Steve races back from his previous home because he missed Kayla, wanted to be with her and work on getting his memory back. Then the next week there were about two scenes to show that Steve/Nick was feeling pressure to remember from Kayla. Then there was a scene where Steve/Nick and Kayla are kissing and he has this very intense reaction. He gets freaked out by his reaction and races out, and Billie finds him on the pier. He talks about wanting things casual and in the moment. Billie agrees that she likes that also and they kiss.

Over the next month and half or so, we see Steve and Billie on about two dates and sharing a few kisses. All of a sudden Billie seemed to be in love with Steve/Nick. He had feelings for her but, IMO, they seemed somewhat ambivalent at times. After certain occasions when he would have a memory of Kayla, he did not have feelings attached to that memory. Whereas when he would have occasional memories of other people, like his daughter Stephanie or Benjy Dimera, feelings were attached to them.

Stephen Nichols mentioned in one of his blogs at tvguide.com that it is suspicious that Steve does not have feelings attached to his initial memories of Kayla and that he seems obsessed with Billie. He throws out there that maybe it is something that the bad guys did to his head. Not sure whether it is part of storyline that we have yet to see or whether Stephen Nichols was just speculating. Anyway, once Steve got his full memory back, his feelings for Kayla came back in full also (some of the most amazing scenes and most phenomenal acting jobs by Stephen and Mary Beth if you haven't seen it yet - Day 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g4GlM0x7I0...ted&search= , Day 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeE0cZ7a3Yk) ).

When Kayla asks Steve where his relationship with Billie stands, Steve adamently states that it was like he and Nick were two different people. Nick was someone walking around half asleep and in limbo. Also, Steve speculates that both he and Billie were looking for a casual, in the moment thing so he doubts she will be very hurt. Yeah, he was pretty wrong on that count. Since then, it has been clear that Steve does not have an attraction to Billie.

So after going into that long explanation, lol, I am really curious why they even went into the Steve and Billie relationship. It was strangely paced and the seriousness of it seemed to come out of nowhere. I hope they address it a little more somehow. Although I am 100% confident that Steve is 100% happy and in love with Kayla, I have to believe that it will come up again at sometime. Too much emphasis was placed on the relationship to have it just drop like that ??
