Thanks Kev for pointing that out.

Benji just popping up is nice because it surprises you. I like how they are using him and that he is still deaf and all. I think him being recurring is better in a way. The actor does well given what he must play and how he has to play it. I didn't think it would work out because I wanted him to be a bigger character but Days was smart with how they handled him thinking about it now.

You know, I just have to say another word about SN acting today. I know so much of his work the last few weeks has been screaming and ranting and over the top batshit crazy (which some love and some hate), and it's easy to forget just how well SN does the subtle stuff. Today we got to see him playing very tightly controlled emotions. Anger and hurt with Benji; anger, fear, and love with Kayla, all played very tightly and quietly over his face.

Brilliant performance.

I think you don´t have to be a genius to see that something major happened behind the screen. I don´t know if that rumour about budget troubles is right or not, but for some reason Sheffer had to put on hold almost all his stories. And the remaining were slowed and drawn out to fill the time. Lexie´s exit were written in at the last moment. Bonnie/Connor and the skeleton story was cut in the middle. J/M are backburnered and going in circles. Sheffer even didn´t do usualy sweeps preview and we know how he loves to talk about his plans. We are obviously back in the transition period and it shows.

I think it will now take another month or so till Sheffer readjusts to the new situation and the show will be great again. Of course, if there really aren´t enough money to pay the vets anymore, he will have to create stories for characters Corday can affort.

I completely agree. I don't know where I heard it (always a reliable statement), but there are serious budget issues. I don't know why they suddenly appeared, but it is the reason for so may seemingly sudden firings and backburnings. I am enjoying to show, for the most part. It just sucks this transitioning had to happen during sweeps. I am open to enjoying stories with any of the characters—they just need to be written well.

There are definitely serious budget issues. SN confirmed it at a fan event last weekend. I can't give any further details because it was posted on a private board, but I think it's safe to say that the budget issues are real and affecting a lot of things on Days right now.

Yeah I agree. The show is good right now but not great. Something is up behind the scenes. It sucks because last month and the first two weeks of January had so much cohesion and it was on a high. Now it's good but it's lacking what made it great. Alot of the momentum is gone. They can get it back and I hope they do for the show's sake. I know I like alot of what I see but there are others that don't.

DAYS has really been an utter snoozefest the last two weeks. I don't think I finished an episode since mid January.

This episode was very good. I actually watched the whole thing. :lol: DAYS has been very static lately. It better find a medium soon.

BENJY! My main man, right there. One of the best actors in the cast. If not for the budget, I'd be screaming contract. His scenes with Steve and EJ were the best things on DAYS in weeks. I'm proud that Sheffer seems to be goign the yang-yang approach with these brothers. Very appropriate. Gimme more!

Willow/Philip is really, really interesting. Now Philip and Shawn have 'mystery' kids out there. :lol: I think, especially if Mimi is not recast, that Willow and Philip could make an awesome villain powerplay couple. Annie doesn't blow my mind, nor does Willow, but they're fun together, these two.

Oh, and Kate's theory? While she's right, it's full of holes. You can't recreate the adrenaline that made you save someone's life. It's one of life's mysteries. What Sami claims actually does happen to people. And she's pregnant, so do you really expect her to be able to lift even something half the size? Please. As someone said, IRL, Roman would have laughed her out of the precinct!

Lying isn't illegal, but if she's lying, there's a reason to lie, and Roman hates to admit it, but Kate is right and she has a case. You guys are arguing like Sami isn't hiding anything. She is. And she's being mind-numbingly obvious about it, as she usually is.

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
