Tell me about it! Bo, you chose Shawn as your father back when the truth was revealed. It's not Victor's fault that he's more powerful in Salem than your fish market/pub owning daddy :lol:

The duo that is Bonnie and Connor are hilarious! Hogan is really giving Judi Evans some great material, FINALLY!

It's great to see the Carvers. I just wish the story was slightly better, but I know it will end soon, sadly, resulting in Lexie's exit :( I don't think the storyline is as bad as people complain. I think it's an okay story, period.

I agree that this is Martha's Emmy reel for Supporting Actress next year! :D The scene where she was pleading with the judge to give Claire back... broke my heart. And I'm usually pretty hard with Martha, because I know how well she can perform and she usually delivers under par.

It's very uncanny, Phoenix, and it's been visible since the beginning :) And I'm loving it. I look foward to Willow teaming up with Philip against Shawn and Belle over Claire, which is a undeniable resemblence to Nicole and Lucas teaming up against Austin and Sami over Will.

Willow Stark shined today! Brilliant performance, Annie! BRAVO! ENCORE!

I loved the way she just casually approached Bo and Hope outside the courtroom. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Brady, congratulations on your baby's birth..." Willow got the Hope eyebrow. Consider yourself in the club, girl! :lol:

Definitely the best eppy of the week with great acting and directing throughout.

I have to admit I thought Annie was great today as Willow, I have to admit she plays the [!@#$%^&*] really good. I didn't like Ari as Nicole much at first either, but by the time Ari left Nicole was one of my favorite characters and Ari is still someone I want back on DAYS. Who knows if the same will happen with Willow/Annie, time will tell. IMO Willow overpowers Hope like its no big deal, just very nonchalantly and disrespects her with ease. I would have liked to see Hope stand up to her and actually show some attitude back, but I still enjoyed those scenes.

Martha Madison can cry with the best of them, what a great performance. I can't wait to see how her and JKJ in scenes together.

My favorite scenes of the eppy were the Bo/Victor scenes, very well written. Its just too bad that Bo always throws out you are my father when its convienent for him and his situation. I would like to see Bo cut Victor off completely as well as Caroline.

I wish JEL wasnt leaving, its hard to watch her scenes knowing that she won't be around much longer.

Monday looks to be just as good...

ICA! I love Willow vs. Hope scenes. Willow is not intimidated by Hope in the slightest. She will go toe-to-toe with Hope and not think twice about it. And if Bo wants to get in there, Willow could probably take him on too! :lol:

Best episode of the week, other soaps during Friday try to do the whole crazy cliffhangers, ut Days did it simple. With the great courtroom action and with Phillip coming back, nothing over the top.

Connor and Bonnie are Comedy gold. One of my fav. Mother and Son teams in daytime

This was a GREAT episode...Brandon Beemer, John Aniston and ESPECIALLY Martha Madison were the MVP's of the episode.

Loved the Bonnie/Connor scenes, DAYS once again has a found a great new younger actor.

This courtroom battle is only going to get better...I saw tomorrow's episode (so much for that bullshit about Canada losing their day-ahead episodes) and Jay's return is a good one!!

Yeah, I'll say it again, I wish it were Kyle in the role, but nontheless, having Philip being rolled into the courtroom was amazing. Loved the looks on Bo, Hope, and Marlena's faces :lol: and then of course Belle and Shawn's.

Thank goodness for Brandon Beemer, these scenes would've just falllen apart without him in the role ;)

I never liked Willow, but I loved her today. Stick it to the Bradys! Yeah!! :lol:

Bonnie and Conner were great.

Mimi/Max, Abe & Lexie were eh...

I was so proud of Willow today. She looked amazing and just as lovely as Belle except in a more feminine and softer way. She said what she had to say. Shawn doesn't deserve custody of Claire the mess he is now and thankfully the judge thought so, too. We don't know a thing about Willow, neither her last name or any history. It's more than obvious that she has a story and I'm not sure it's this one. This is coincidental. If she did accept payment from Victor, it's because he offered, but she would have said what she did without any coercement at all. It was the truth except leaving out that Shawn did want to shape up for Claire, only not enough to leave EJ and Patrick out of it heehee, until the end.

Now seeing Philip, I'm squeamish about siding with him, though. I don't like people who aren't straightforward and if he isn't straightforward, I won't be on his side either. Poor Claire. Belle needs to take her daugher and raise her by herself.

Loved Bonnie and Connor scenes. Connor may be the best actor on days. I love Nick, but can see Connor sweeping me off my feet (he has reprive of being a con because everyone knows it).

I laughed when Marlena left Hope talking saying she needed a walk and loved Hope's expression. There is conflict there?

Oh I love Annie as Willow! If she wasn't a factor in the Shelle storyline I think everyone would like her more. (And Annie's a sweetie too. She posted on her fan site last night even though she isn't very familiar with computers). Anyway Willow's awesome! I hope she's not going to turn out to be Jan. I LOATHE AND DEPSITE Jan Spears.

    • 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.
