Just some quick thoughts on today's show.

I really liked the actor who played Shawn's lawyer. He was pretty good. Considering that there's a deficit in the young-mid 30's crowd, I think he would make a nice addition to the show. Perhaps he could play the newly created character--Julie/Hope's nephew, Steve Olson III?

Lots of foreshadowing in the Steve/Kayla storyline. Not sure where it leads, but it didn't sound good during Steve/Bo's conversation about Steve never abusing Kayla or something like that and then Kayla saying that Steve wouldn't be a good father right now.....

The scene at the pub with Kayla/Hope/Billie was kind of strange. I guess Kayla/Hope feel comfortable with the women with whom their husbands once had a relationship. Very sophisticated of them. I don't think most women would react that way but anything can happen in Salem right?

I'm very curious to see which actors have pulled the most episodes this month. I think Julie Pinson along with Ashley B. are going to be pulling some high numbers. Surprisingly enough, Ali S. will be on the low end if the past few weeks of 1-2 Sami episodes per week are any indication of what's to come towards the latter end of the month...

I thought the same thing when Billie mentioned "Eileen" for the baby's name, haha. Here's hoping! I liked today's show. I don't at all feel Shawn has overreacted in recent scenes. I just continually put myself in his place....and I also come to terms with the fact that how he reacts IS HIS CHARACTER. That is who Shawn Douglas Brady IS. He's fiery and immature sometimes, like his dad...but to me, that's who he is. To be consistently bothered by that is fine, cause some people in real life that act like that are irritating at times. But nothing to give up the show over, that's for sure. I loved Bo today, he and Steve are so real in scenes together. That CPS lady is one of the biggest b!tches I've ever seen, lol. And last, I cant believe how much I love seeing Shawn and Belle on screen together. Still waiting for that first sex scene.... :P

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the Steve & Bo scenes today. I'm so impressed with how well Sheffer slid them right back into their brothers/friends vibe without losing that edge they always kept with each other, neither at all shy about kicking the other's ass.

PR and SN really are amazing actors. SN especially really blew me away. The terror in his voice as he cried "please don't touch me" gave me chills. And the way he seemed so ... lost and vulnerable when he was talking to Bo in the hallway. That affect is so not Steve. He was always the badass, macho guy, full of bluster even when (especially when) he was unsure of himself. I don't think we've ever seen him as weak-looking as when he was talking to Bo.

Still really enjoying the teen set, surprisingly enough. Abby, Chelsea and Nick are being written really well and the actors are doing a great job at not being generic plastic teens.

Count me in with those really annoyed at the way they have Hope and Kayla pimping Billie. I actually like Billie (when she's not whoring after Bo or Steve) but when we have Hope and Kayla behaving like doormats and doing back somersaults to be nice to her, it's just annoying and actually makes me like her less. ATTN WRITERS: It's perfectly okay to have otherwise likeable characters not like each other. Having Hope or Kayla respond to Billie civilly but cooly isn't going to make me like any of the three less. In the real world some people don't get along. It's okay. And pimping one character at the expense of another just makes me dislike the character being pimped. Yes, Kayla is a "glass half full" kind of girl who always tries to see the best in people, but she's never been a wimp or a doormat and having her THANK Billie is just beyond the pale. Grrrrrr.

So my head is still hurting from the anvils that bounced off of it from the Steve & Bo and Hope & Kayla scenes. Steve said 3 different times he'd never hurt Kayla. That can't bode well. And Kayla says it's a bad time to get pregnant? On a soap, that can only mean one thing. My only question is just how dark Sheffer is willing to go with this story...

I see what Corday, Sheffer & Kelly (CSK) are doing: CSK know how much everyone hated Brandon Beemer's (he ain't phenomenal, DAYSies) Shawn and didn't care for him with Madison's Belle (many still hate/dislike Belle). So, instead of having them together as a couple right away, CSK are taking Claire away so we'll be distracted. Then when Belle and Shawn get Claire back we'll be so happy for them because of what happend to Claire they will just end up being a family and everyone will be pleased with it, instead of being mad they are together.

Check out these cute photos of Blake Berris (Nick) that Andre linked me to earlier. Cuteness! (And he's very, very... bi, at least). And given the chemistry that he and Ashley Benson share, who wants to take bets that they're dating in real life?

I think this is a stupid assumption. Many people like Beemer and Madison and think they are doing a fine job with their material. Many of the ones who don't like them are Jason Cook & Kirsten Storms fans. Do you honestly think those two could pull off this custody story? I doubt it!

Do you even WATCH the show? Or are you yet another non-viewer who feels the need to bash a soap to make yourself look better? I think it's the latter.

You also need to stop flooding the boards with all these topics all over the place. You're coming off as a huge troll.

I agree that Chelsea is being treated too much as an "outsider." But here's what I don't get: what right did Kayla have to tell Billie that she could hold HOPE'S daughter?! Similarly, what right did BILLIE have to tell Chelsea she could hold HOPE'S daughter?

Only HOPE can say who can hold HOPE'S daughter. That's the way it is.

MOTHER knows best.

So I've been taping Days since the beginning of this year but have only had time to watch a few shows here and there. It's actually pretty good right now. Some random comments:

I didn't like Shawn & Belle then (actually, I did for like 6 months) and I'm not liking them now. The acting's good, the story's good but there is simply no chemistry between Martha Madison and Brandon Beemer. BTW, while I think BB is miles ahead of Jason Cook..there's something missing..and I think it's what you call facial expression.

Ashley Benson sounds a lot like Kirsten Storms. :blink: I'm not sure whether I like her or not yet...I do enjoy her scenes with Nick. I can't believe him and Abby are cousins. For a second there, I thought maybe, they'd move Nick away from his Chelsea crush and pair him with Abby. Did they grow up together? Hey, if GL can do it, why can't Days? Unfortunately, I don't think TPTB at Days would have the guts to "go there".

I wouldn't mind Nick & Chelsea, either..except he had sex with her mom. :huh: It's weird...I saw a couple of Days episode last year and didn't like Chelsea at all but now I think she's entertaining and *gasp* played by a good actress.

Kayla is even more boring than Sierra...:( It's too bad since Patch & Kayla are supposed to be legendary.

Steve having weird visions or whatever has got to be the campiest story on the show right now.

I still detest the bright light endings Days' has.

Just a few questions:

- Are Shawn & Belle together?

- Is Chelsea Georgia?

    • 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.
