Great episode.

I have decided that Farah Fath should never play a 'cutesy' scene with a child again. That was traumatizing.

I can't stand Mimi's half of the couple, but I adore Darin Brooks' Max being romantic, and funny, and wonderful. More please.

The custody battle is heating up.

I'm disappointed that the skeleton wasn't on today, or at least it's storyline, lol.

I am really indifferent about the episode.

I agree that Mimi was not all cutesy as she thought she was.

I found it difficult to believe Mimi would still call Belle her best friend, or Shawn being ready to put the past behind them. That just confused me. Oh well, at least we don't have to deal with that anymore.

I am really getting excited for the custody battle to begin and the story behind Steve's connection to this tarot card.

Oh, and doodlebug Brady, I like it.

Mimi was definitely "off" today. Whether it was Farah preoccupied or Mimi was supposed to be totally knocked off kelter due to Patrick's arrest and situation and everything she has been through last couple of days, who knows. My thoughts about Shawn apologizing and Mimi mentioning "her best friend Belle" is to get them back in sync....only Max replaces Philip in the quad and Shawn has a job.

Steve is really bugging me. This story has got to advance.

Bo and Hope need to name their baby. Doodlebug is cute, but gee whiz, guys, she's your first daughter and that's the best you have to offer her for life LOL. I really look forward to how the naming works out, though.

I hope the John story is leading to something interesting because if it's just the astral projection love series mentioned, that won't be worth it for me. Show me something new.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

LMAO at Kayla holding Bo and Hope's daughter. Had that been a real child, the head definitely would've popped off! :lol:

Finally, Farah Fath has someone on her acting level to play off of. Unfortunately, the White twins upstage her :P

Today's show put me to sleep, literally. I wasn't even intrested in Mimi and Max and I LOVE them. I think the reason the show was a dud to me is because I'm not a "super couple" fan and the show had Bo and Hope, Steve and Kayla, and Marlena and John (even though he didn't talk) And the "super couple-in-the-making", Shawn and Belle. Super couples do NOTHING for me.

I like the couples and still thought today was boring. We've got the message already--"devil" triggers something in Steve. Move on. And John's in a coma but is reacting to Steve. Move on. And someone is stalking baby Claire for custody purposes. Move on.

I think I'm just in a bad mood today.

We sure are seeing a new side of Marlena as of late. My mother brought this up yesterday. To her, Marlena seems a little off, different. My mother doesn't think that she's Marlena. Obviously, my mother has no idea that Reilly is no longer writing DAYS. But I started noticing that we are seeing a "new" Marlena. As someone that grew up watching Reilly's Marlena, I never saw Marlena with true emotions. Sure, Dee sprouted those tears from time to time, but Marlena was always the rock of Salem and barely ever showed emotion if it wasn't necessary. This version then fell onto SSM, Brodderick, Langan, B&C and Higley. Marlena was the voice of reason. She was as emotional as a wooden door. Marlena is acting as any concerned wife would if a doctor was telling her that her husband is brain dead and there is a slim to none chance of recovery.

I understand that everyone's definition of boring is different, but I can't see how people are thinking the show is boring, even today's episode. There is story movement. Steve has been checked out and was cleared of all injuries. Shawn got his job back and mended his friendship with Mimi. The photographer snapped a shot at Mimi "endangering" Claire. Hope suggested Marlena counsel Steve.

The movement is there. It's just more real and not what DAYS fans are used to seeing. This is a real soap opera, people. Adjust! :lol:

Really? Have you been watching long? Because this is the real Marlena to me. This is who Marlena was in the 70s and 80s. Sassy, strong and she's ready to kick ass if she needs to.

She's all feisty and sassy fighting for the man she loves. She doesn't just know him, she knows him. Love that she's not letting anyone take him somewhere that he'll be stashed away and just "another one". Awesome! And her quiet speech about just giving her a sign? Beautiful.

Random thoughts on the ep before reading everyone else's:

Farah Fath has gone back to playing Mimi as whiny. I know Mimi has reason to whine but somehow it just doesn't work on her. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me. Even worse, FF seems to be sleepwalking through her scenes again. She had a totally flat affect today. She might as well have been reading from cue cards.

Max doesn't do a lot for me, but he does have a nice cool casual flirty thing going that I think will work great with the right onscreen partner.

The little girl who plays Claire is just the most adorable, happy little baby! I love her happy litle babbling. I just want to squish her.

Love having the Bo & Hope sparkle back. They're just so great together.

Loved Steve's slow mosey back to Kayla and the big kiss 'n' dip . Swoon!

Adored the Bo/Hope/Kayla scenes. They really have wonderful "family" chemistry.

The platic doll/blanket baby thing is ridiculous looking. No one looks natural holding it.

Really loved Kayla opening up to Hope about what she and Steve are feeling right now. It helps explain a lot about why Steve hasn't been fighting heaven and earth to figure out who ripped him away from his family. If I were him, I'd be scared of what I did during those missing years too. Really loved Kayla's "There is nothing from his past that I won't defend or forgive."

Poor Steve. I think he's gonna be ripped apart before it's over.

This made me laugh because it's what I'm usually yelling at my computer when I'm reading everyone else's complaints. And today I was the complainer! I think it's just my mood, seriously. But give me a break, because I've watched--and loved--this soap for almost 35 years!

As for Marlena being "different" (according to some), I think she's just acting human again. She was a robot for years, and now she gets to actually experience emotions. I would be very surprised if this isn't the "real" Marlena as a few people have speculated.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
