Watched this episode late last night after work. OUTSTANDING episode IMO!! I am amazed at how much DAYS has improved, it is a COMPLETELY different show...and I LOVE IT!

The Philip/Belle scenes and Kayla/Steve/EJ scenes were PURELY OUTSTANDING!

Jay Johnson...I don't know what he did when he left DAYS, whether it was just mature or take on some hardcore acting classes, but it paid off...this guy CAN ACT and he CAN ACT GREAT!!! He was BORN to play a villain, he is truly shining with this material and the screen chemistry he has is unbelievable. Martha Madison and him act very well opposite each other...those showdown scenes between Belle/Philip were SO deliciously great, loved EVERYTHING both of them said to each other...Philip was SOOOO cold to Belle, his words SO hurtful...but she stood her ground against him thats for sure.

Stephen Nichols was once again OUTSTANDING as Steve...that scene where he pulled the knife on EJ was CARAZZY....VERY intense!! Loved how EJ kep taking that knife and knocking it on the table, like he KNEW it was triggering one of Steve's episodes....that was very creepy!! Mary Beth Evans was also VERY good...I am glad they are pulling her more into this story and I am glad Evans has stepped up her game!

Rachel Melvin is just charming the pants of me...I am just loving her more and more each day. Loved where DAYS is going with Chelsea now (who knew I would end up liking this character.......) and Nick/Chelsea pairing is GREAT, love them!! Loved the moments between Shawn/Chelsea, I like that DAYS is mending this relationship.

Overall a great show, with OUTSTANDING acting from Madison, Johnson, Nichols, Evans and Scott!

With one month already in the books, 2007 is looking to be DAYS best year of this current decade!

This is a very enjoyable episode.

Kate is incredibly cruel! I actually felt bad for Sami when Kate went and lifted the beam that Sami couldn't move at all. Kate finding out Sami is pregnant is going to cause trouble, IMO. I'm sure the news will somehow leak to EJ via Kate.

I'm very proud of Nick and especially Chelsea. They were brilliant! Even though we haven't seen Belle and Shawn off on the boat yet, they did their part very well. Phillip is a flipping moron ... I can't believe how they got Claire out of the safe house. Too cool! I believe that Phillip wants to be apart of Claire's life because he loves her, but maybe he doesn't know it yet, but more of this is about seeking revenge, IMO.

The ending was a great cliffhanger! I don't want to see Kayla and Steve in the hospital again, so I hope they're okay!

Good episode.

My thoughts on EJ vs. Steve today. Steve is under some kind of hypnotic suggestion to be an assassin and Steve is fighting it tooth and nail - generatiing these psychotic episodes. Today really showcased this with the 'code' EJ was plunking away at with that knife. He set Steve up. He needs him to break away from his circle of love so to speak, before he can step in.

Philip and Belle were superb, but damn did Belle cut him down right.

ITA! The acting has been superb thus far, so there is no reason for them to not get nominated for Best Show. And if The Hack's writing team at Y&R or Jean's writing team on ATWT gets nominated before Hogan's team on DAYS, I'll truly be pissed.

Whoa! I loved Belle standing up to Philip. And when he started shaking her :o I always wanted a domestic abuse storyline for Philip and Belle, especially when Kyle Brandt was on the verge of his exit and started playing with an edge. Jay does it even better! I want PHELLE back!

Jay sucks, Jay sucks, Jay sucks.

Screams every line. Sounds like a little boy whining to mommy because he didn't get his way. Not menacing or scary in the least... only pathetic.

This episode sounds good, though. I can't wait to watch it on SoapNet tonight.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
