This is going to be long....Things I enjoyed about DOOL include:

Nick/Chelsea:

I'm going to start calling them CHICK because I am really loving their chemistry together...I love the banter they have; and I can see that they are truly trying to make Chelsea somewhat more kinder and less snotty when they put her in scenes with Nick...I really loved when Chelsea was apologetic for how she was making fun of Nick...They are just cute together.

Willow/Philip/Victor:

My favorite line from Victor to Willow was: "You're dripping," when she was smacking on that ice cream cone...I swear, I DO NOT want a Philip/Willow pairing...I like her, but not with Philip, and definitely not with Shawn. In fact, I hope it's Philip that will knock her down a few pegs.

Victor was dead on when he told Philip that his quest for revenge was clouding him from being logical and resourceful. Jay really did good in showing Philip's angst in all that he's been through...Not only being seriously injured in war, not once, but twice; learning that the woman he loved with all his heart was still in love with his former best friend, but also learning how EVERYONE except he, knew that he wasn't the father of Claire. It was a major slap to the face learning that both parents were aware of it and said nothing.

So, when he and Victor had their words, you could see that a part of Philip was also hesitant to trust his father; and the same with Victor, actually trusting his son to do the righ tthing...

Willow:

Looks like that little money seeker has found her another cash cow to latch on to...Not only will she continue to be trouble for Shawn and the Brady family, but she's going to be a major pest to Philip and Victor...and she had nerve to ask Philip: "Your father doesn't like me for some reason, how come?" :lol:

Um, wow. I actually... liked Willow today.

I loved Victor and Philip conversation about revenge and Philip obsessing and losing sight of his goal.

Shawn is an idiot. Why would he want to get himself arrested?

Nick and Chelsea are truly casting a spell over me...adorable together.

Keith that was what I was cracking up at...Shawn in his 'drunken' stupor being hauled away by the cops...That was a dumb move to begin with, especially if Belle has no knowledge of what to do by herself on the run...those folks at the hide-out aren't going to help her, and Nick and Chelsea can only do so much, which isn't that much either.

Despite Victor being a part of this plan to get Claire, he was spot on with what he said to Philip today. JKJ continues to impress me with his performances. I wasn't so sure he could pull the angry, vindictive soldier personality off but I was wrong.

I still hate Willow but she wasn't annoying as usual. If the show insists on keeping her, she should be a foil to Philip and Victor and steer clear of the Bradys and getting this delusional revenge because Shawn decided she was too scary to boink. However, she will never be another Nicole Walker Kiriakis.

Chick is chic! :lol: Nick smelling Chelsea's hair and that look on his face was adorable.

Also some nice Shelle moments with Shawn putting his arms around Belle and the touching. If we ever get a real love scene between MM and BB in the future, I think it will be great.

I still dislike Willow, but loved Philip and Victors conversation about her. What is it, the sex? THen the look on Philips face when Victor said that. Hilarious.

I really do like Nick and Chelsea and thought their convo on the plan was funny. But, they definatly need to stop talking about it and move on.

Shawn acting drunk was a bit odd to me. I think it was a great thing to do in the fact that it helped Belle and Claire stay safe, but honestly why do it. Someone else should have taken the fall, but good ole' Shawn trying to do a good thing. I love Shelle and this storyline even with the big potholes in how things are going.

I can't wiat for todays show.

:D Everyone's coming around to Willow! You don't have to like her, but you can't say she's useless anymore. Annie provided some great entertainment yesterday in the airport scenes. I loved her line at the end when she said that Philip will be stuck with her for a long time. I can see her mooching off the Kiriakis men. I'm with Venus and don't want a PHILLOW pairing. Shawn is the only man for Willow.

Haha, how do I need a better taste in characters?

My favorites include Sami, Lucas, Kate, Marlena, Belle, John, Abby, Max, Philip, Billie, Chelsea, Steve and Willow.

Of that group of people, the only character that isn't "popular" with the rest of you is Willow. I think my taste in characters is just fine.

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!

How can you have a show with only 1 or 2 familiar faces ON???? Nick and Chelsea are nice but by no means can they carry this show. I don't believe THIS is February sweeps? Pure crap. Just like November. DAYS is going out besides December, DAYS has been sitting in transition, the trash can and just utter nonsense. It's a drama, how about having some drama instead of running around in fricken circles??

I think it is unforgivable that you can have a show that revolves around two teens, one who is a fricken newbie, Shelle, one part of a the "new" version who is still new, nu Phillip, WILLOW??? That too for February sweeps?!!

And the rest of the show is backburnered?! What happened to John's shooting? This was just a ploy to keep him in a coma for so long? For all of December it was about EJ shooting John and the police department stopping it. It happened so everyone has given up??? EJ is out doing his thing and EVERYTHING about John's shooting has just been forgotten???? Bo and Hope's baby doesn't have a fricken name?!! This is BAD soap!

Sweeps suck for DAYS (more than usual). DAYS hasn't had a REAL sweeps since what... 2002 or something?! Hogan is dissapointing IMO and besides December, he hasn't really brought anything to this show at all except several new characters, one who is becoming obsessed with. And I also like Nick and Chelsea but they shouldn't be on this much and they shouldn't be the "major" part of an episode. At least not yet. What nonsense.

This is not the show's fault. DAYS' budget doesn't allow the big four (John, Marlena, Bo and Hope) to be on as much anymore. Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols have a very low pay and that's why we see them more than the other two supercouples.

    • 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.
