Too bad they didn't show more of the acutal fight before they went throught the window. As I understand it, Stephen and James did their own stunts in those scenes - which I assume means flying through the window.

He left because at that point he was going to bow out and maintain his dignity. He decided to re-enlist figuring he had nothing else left but to give service to his country and he ended up getting badly injured. During all that time in recovery, I think he thought about all he has lost and decided to stop being a pushover and change. I also think that he had no intentions of going after Claire but since Victor began the pursuit, all in an effort to aid his son after the hell he had been through, I think he became convinced that he should go after Claire as he stood a chance of getting her with Victor on his side. That and he could get his revenge on the man that had his wife's heart and now has the child he beleived was his. The motivation is all there. The fact that he is going about it pretty much the long way is what is making the story. You have to have someone in the wrong and in the right.

No doubt about it. Definitely stupid!

Ive put some thought into the idea and can't decide one way or another. What do you all think? If it did come down to it where Phillip got complete custody of Claire, would Belle leave Shawn and go back to Phillip, to continue being apart of Claire's life?

Excellent episode today. The Shawn/Belle on the run is still super silly, but going with the flow, the actors are doing a fairly good job, except JKJ. I don't believe in him as Philip at all. He is too insecure, shrill and out of control to be a strong, headstrong, take-serious man. Kyle Brandt could have played this part superbly and won gazillion fans.

Steve/Kayla/EJ were beyond compare today. I was thrilled to see them deliver so beautifully, believably and it was more like a movie than just reading lines like MBE has seemed to be doing up until today. Intriguing and sophisticated. Loved, loved them.

Sami/Lucas/Kate. Gee, I used to enjoy Kate and now I feel like hissing at her and telling her to stop fooling with her face, her lips, her earrings, whatever and be still for a change. Sami just has to tell Lucas the truth about the rescue and the baby or this story is going to blow up, I fear.

The ending was the best I've seen in the almost four years since 8-2004.

Excuse me, but why are people telling Kenny he's wrong about not liking Jay? (And YES, people are saying "WRONG.") Get off his back. He has an opinion and it isn't the same as yours. Get over it.

And as for the majority of fans enjoying Jay, I'd like to see proof (note: there is none) of that besides your "feeling" from around the boards. Go to Coffeerooms and no one likes what's happening; go to SON and you've got a Pollyanna convention. Some do, some don't.

Thank you, Andre. This is a problem I've seen in so many Days threads over the years here. If you enjoy it, you enjoy. If someone else disagrees, why waste the energy to try to convince someone that they're wrong about it being bad for one reason or another? It's so much more enjoyable (heh) to agree to disagree after you share your side and they've shared theirs. JMO.

Because disagreeing and arguing a bit in a respectful way is fun. If everyone just posts their feelings and leaves it at that, the threads get a bit boring and don't go on very long. As long as it's done respectfully, we can all debate back and forth and just agree to disagree. It's all part of good discussion and debate.

Andre, I am well aware other boards don't like alot of what is happening but alot of that isn't JKJ's performance. Alot of that is Bo/Hope and John/Marlena fans wanting screentime for their couples. The on the run story is not the problem. The problem is it's on way too much right now for their taste and I can understand that. I have seen very little negative response to JKJ's performance. Alot of that could be due to people loving him the first time around or could be because there were many who didn't like Brandt. Whatever the case, it seems a good majority likes him in the role right now. I'm not worried about what other boards say because alot of that is fanbase driven. You have fanbases that are even jealous of each other when one supercouple gets more airtime, like Steve/Kayla are getting now.

I am always one to agree to disagree. That doesn't mean I won't post and say why I disagree with you. It's all part of the discussion. I will never belittle someone's opinion. I am well aware that most times you can't change someone's mind about something and that is fine. Everyone is different. All I am saying is that different opinions are welcome. Part of the fun of these threads is disagreeing and going back and forth. As long as everyone is respectful, it's all good.

    • @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.
