Solid episode - not the best of the week though!

I'm glad Bo finally arrived at Tinda Lau (sp?). I love how he went into action so quick. He knew exactly what to do and remanined postive.

I love how Belle continues to try to make a fool of Phillip - unfortunately, I think that ship has sailed. Is it just me, or did anyone else feel that Claire actually feels way more comfortable with Belle?

The Nick & Chelsea stuff was nice! Someone needs to smack Nick though for letting Willow interfere. Something tells me another serious love triangle is about to develop.

Sami & Lucas were outstanding!!! They have really grown as characters, and I'd like to thik that they will be together for the long-run. But, Sami didn't tell Lucas that she also drugged him and went to kill EJ that night. Lucas straight up asked her if that was everything that she was hiding, and she said yes. BAD MOVE SAMI!

I'm posting early since I'll be out for the afternoon. Heads up: This post is very spoilerish for those who haven't seen the show.

************************

First, THANK GOD that Bo is now involved with the Islanders. Talk about a breath of fresh air!

Chick were enjoyable today. There story has been far too angsty lately so it was nice to see a return to the cute stuff. I have no interest in a Wick/Chick triangle, though.

But LUMI pretty much owned this episode, IMO.

I've long suspected that Sami's rape was ultimately a vehicle to redeem Lucas. Today was the confirmation. I could kiss Hogan and his scriptwriter because his reaction was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. I liked that instead of just having him randomly forgive her, they worked his history into the scenes There was acknowledgement that the "old Lucas" would have turned to the bottle instead of facing the problem. And he recognised that his past behavior played into her inability to trust him with the truth. This wasn't just a "payoff" for Sami but significant growth for Lucas as an individual.

I'm ashamed of the man I used to be -- the man who doubted everything and everybody, especially you.

It is my fault, all right? It's my fault. If you didn't have enough faith in the power of love, it's my fault because of what I've done to you and how much I've loved you and left you in the past.

I mean, where the hell do I get off appointing myself your judge and jury?

That last line addresses everything that went wrong with the character (and LUMI) under JER.

It was also a relief that he recognised the rape for what is was rather than seeing it as some kind of betrayal.

Lucas: Who cares? Will you listen to yourself? Rape is rape. It's never the woman's fault.

Last but not least...

You're my best friend. You're my lover. You're my wife. You're my hero, Sami.

That's a part of LUMI's history that often gets overlooked so the mention was a nice touch.

I knew Bryan & Ali would be amazing with these scenes (and they were) but the real surprise was how well they were written. I like to think of today's scenes as being the "unofficial" wedding vows.

So much for Hogan not *getting* LUMI or being incapable of good romance. B)

      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.
