I've only seen a few clips so I'll hold off on my response until I've seen the whole show, but I can tell you that MM is an amazing crier, BB really owns the role of Shawn now and Steve scares the holy hell out of me in the previews for Monday!

Me too, GBB! I want to know WTF is going on in that scene.

I loved the scenes in the chapel. Healy is a wench. Loved that Steve and Kayla convinced Belle and Shawn not to run, of all people to do it- great move. I saw a flash of fire from MBE today. More please.

Julie Pinson was on FIRE! She was so subtley frank with Bonnie towards the end of the scene. She so saw through Bonnie's 'woe-is-me' act, and I loved it! Her line at the end of her scene with Caroline was also delish, about egtting back to apartment hunting.

Darin Brooks continues to charm me as Max. He had this little smirk when Abby was going through the book, and he told her about the card.

Looking forward to Connor- hopefully he's an enjoyable troublemaker.

I loved today's show. Everyone was amazing, some beyond amazing.

MM broke my heart with her portrayal of such a distressed mother ordered to release her daughter to the court system. It's a nightmare beyond comprehension (I'd think) and Belle was excellent and I loved Shawn's protecting his family best he knew how. Thankfully Uncle Steve and Aunt Kayla were there for support and much needed advice. If it weren't for them, I'd have liked for Frankie to have been available for Shawn to have and defend their side and give support. He is so needed on Days sob.

Marlena was superb today and I loved every second of her performance. Totally believable.

Even though her acting is a bit see/saw, I love FF as Mimi. Her eyes are fascinating and her figure is stunning. She was showing both off in today's show (hoping to give ideas for her new offers I'd think). I'm really loving Max, now....the little devil heehee.

Even though I don't care for Billie much, I love Julie. She makes Billie watchable which is amazing as I would never watch Days when the other Billie's were on. The only reason I didn't stop when she showed up on Melaswen Island and grabbed Bo and kissed him, is because she quickly made her stand clear that she wasn't going to interfere in Hope and Bo...and hasn't been too bad in keeping that.

Bonnie is a work. Again, excellent actress, awfully heartless role. She only wants Connor home now to do her bidding. Wonder how bad he really is.

Yes, Steve's episode shown in the previews was scary. He can do scary very good LOL. What I loved from him today was his Greaser step when he headed into the chapel to comfort Shawn and Belle. I love that swagger.

This was a beautiful nod to history. I'm really impressed with how the writers have done their homework.

Steve has no love for social workers and he and Kayla spent some time hiding Frankie and Max rather than let them go to foster care. I thought the writers skated a really nice line between showing Steve had matured but still showing he has little respect for for "the system" (loved the "I might be Shawn's uncle. Who the hell are you?" line and the other smartass digs he got in).

From Prevuze I wasn't sure I'd be able to buy Steve arguing for them to cooperate with the social worker, but the writing made it work.

I loved today's show. Belle broke my heart when she had to hand Claire over to Child Protective Service. Victor and Phillip are two low-down rat bastards for doing this. Victor shouls know more than anyone how it feels to have a child and not know it and he wants to put Shawn through the same thing all in the name of making things right for Phillip because he kept the truth for so long. How about Phillip try to get the baby he and Mimi are gonna have by the surrogate. I would rather want to have my own biological child than take someone elses from them.

Matha was great. It broke my heart that CPS took Claire.

Loved Steve and Kayla coming in to help talk to Shawn and Belle.

I am really starting to like Darrin (or however he spells his name). Max is finally getting interesting.

Previews for Mondays show look amazing.

AWESOME SHOW!!

Best of the week. The action is back after some much needed breathing and setup.

MM rocked and Brandon Beemer proved that Shawn is his role now. I was heartbroken seeing CPS take Claire. Love Steve and Kayla being there. Like many have said, nice nods to history knowing what Steve did with Frankie and Max and him and Kayla going on the run once before. Their advice had some much needed weight and I was happy they were drawn in. MBE and SN were great.

Deidre Hall rocked. Finally she is getting the story and material she deserves. I loved that scene where she was laying by John and professing her love. The ending with him speaking was quite good. Roman is bugging me though. It seems his jealously for John is becoming more obvious and something doesn't seem right with him. I also liked that little dream Marlena had in the beginning with John crying in pain to her. I am liking this.

Loved Bonnie/Billie. Judi and Julie rocked it. I love how Billie saw through Bonnie's tears. I also liked the expression on Billie's face and the way she acted after Caroline left and she said "Back to apartment hunting." :lol: . I also liked Caroline being good to Billie and trying to help her. Hogan has really made Billie part of the community and has gotten her to a point where she can interact with others and not have Bo thrown in her face all the time.

Bonnie/Mimi was good. Can't wait to see Connor. It seems from today he is truly Bonnie's son :lol: . If Mimi is right and Connor took after Bonnie, lord help us. I love how Patrick is in jail, Mimi has lied alot in the past, and now Connor has been arrested. The Lockharts got issues and I love it :lol: . They are definitely more interesting now.

Mimi and Max are nice but my poor Abby. I was glad she told Max off when he gave her that gift. I hated Abby walking in on Max and Mimi about to do it in his office :angry: .

Great show and the previews for Monday look fantastic.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
