They wanted the Carey clan to be suffer a bit and have their happy ending then fine, but they did NOT have to demonize Adam in the process. He is teh victim here just like anyone else yet he gets trashed for feeling any type of pain after the love of his life (AMC's trash, not mine) tore his heart out and stomped over it with her trailer park payless shoes and everoyone else verbally and mentally beating up on him. Of course he hasnt been completely innocent, but they really went overboard to show he is an SOB to justify what Krystal and company did and to make him teh villian when he is probably the one that deserves teh most sympathy

<smallvoice> I kind of do. I remember similar feelings when Days went through its transition last summer -- awkward so-called redemptions and pacing, albiet countered by nice balance and character moments. The comparison might not be worth much, just thought I'd offer it up.

I also loved the Janet/Tad and Amanda/Adam scenes.

My favorite part yesterday was Adam turning the tables on JR, who imo is betraying his father by choosing Tad & the Careys over him. Adam's heart attack could have given JR the chance to make amends and instead he tried to trick his father into a confession.

Erica is the perfect choice to catch Sean & Ava since she was a teen temptress, too. I like her mother/son scenes with Sean and I think she'll probably end up helping Colby land him this summer.

I hate to judge an actress this early, but I have to agree that Sabine is not Greenlee. She lacks the smug snobbishness that Rebecca brought to the part, which made sense since Greenlee was raised to think the Smythes were superior to everyone else. Alicia did her best to salvage the scenes, but even her tears didn't make me believe this was Greenlee with Kendall.

I also agree that Jenny's kidnapping felt truncated. I feel torn about that. On the one hand, I wish Krystal had gone 10 months without her child for the sake of karma, on the other hand, at least McT's drawn-out storytelling style is over, which makes the entire show more entertaining.

IMO Tad and KWAK haven't suffered enough. When they go 9 moths believing their child is dead, while off with Janet or someone who will actually love her and raise her right, then I might say they've suffered enough.

Right now they got off easy once again. I only wish Bianca could have gotten Miranda back that fast :angry:

That is what I have been thinking recently as well.

Yesterday's episode was another great episode I love that AMC is heading in this direction. I loved practically every scene yesterday. Especially the Tad/Janet scenes and any scene with Amanda.

It's still kind of hard to watch Sabine's Greenlee. I want to give her a chance and I am hope that she will grow on me.

My problem with not Greens is not that she is not Rebecca's Greens because Bex is a tough act to follow. I'm not saying that Bex is a tremendous actress, but Greens was a unique character, and Rebecca put her stamp on the role. It would be tough for anyone. Sabine is ok in the acting department, but I think she needs to bring it down a notch for 2 reasons:

First being - it's annoying! notGreens and Ken together would bug the hell out of me.

And secondly but more important, why in the sam hell is this girl so perky anyway? She should not have returned as if nothing happened. She should still be angry and her wanting "Kenlee" back is just stupid! The writing for notGreens is all wrong, so there is really nothing to look forward to.

As for Ryan and Annie... They would be a nice couple if I could only tolerate Cameron (I'm so passed being annoyed with him), and I don't think the show did enough with Annie to make us root for her and Jughead. She went from Annie on the run to Annie/Ryan. Exactly who is this person as an individual? The character was not developed enough and then to chain her to that moron Lavery. Nothing to root for.

I totally agree. These days this show is too busy trying to pair off people, make instant couples, instead of letting the audience get a little insight as to who these people are, what they're about, decide whether or not we like them and THEN start testing the waters.

It's like Simone. For the longest time, we've been wanting her paired up with somebody because viewers cared about Simone and wanted to see her in a relationship. When it finally happens, they date off screen, and then get engaged out of the blue?! Two months later, Ethan's dead, and we're supposed to believe Simone is incredibly torn up over losing this guy... when we've seen NOTHING of their relationship because it all happened off screen. I feel the same way about Annie/Ryan. They went on, like, one date, find out that Emma's Ryan's biological daughter, and next we know Annie's in love and they're planning to get married?!? :blink:

Does Annie have any parents? What's Annie's maiden name? Why hasn't the show even given Annie ANY last name in the closing credits? It's only MCE as Annie. No McDermott? No Schmidt? No nothin'?

Greenlee has to hate Kendall. I mean Kendall now has everything she wanted and had. Greenlee had a successful company, a loving husband and desperately wanted a baby of her own. Kendall heads Fusion, has a great marriage with Zach and the baby with Ryan that was supposed to be for Greenlee. She also has to resent Ryan bc him not wanting kids pretty much ruined their marriage. His demons from his childhood haunted him and caused all types of problems. Now Ryan has 2 kids whom he loves and he's planning on having more. He's perfectly find with his past and has moved on. Why couldnt all of this happen when she was married to him? Greenlee is a very jealous, selfish and self centered person. Its in her nature to resent those 2 especially since she had so much hate in her before and after she left. This sudden change is too drastic. She better be fooling Kendall but I think she's genuine

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
