The Dr. Hilliard stuff was making my head hurt today (which I guess was somewhat better than boring me - i.e. G/A). Why exactly am I suppose to think Dr. Hilliard is anything other than a guy who has overcame his problems and is now an alternative medicine doctor? Am I suppose to think he's a quack doctor because he believes in alternative medicine? Am I suppose to think he's a quack doctor because a kid had an allergic reaction to an ingredient? Am I suppose to think he's a quack and "a fraud" because BEFORE he went to Betty Ford he was addicted to pain killers so prescribed himself a few which caused him to lose his medical license for a while? So I guess Erica is a big ole fraud too who needs to be railed out of her careers, who's she to be giving advice on television?

Seriously though, was the intent today for us to buy that people would have to be crazy to trust a Dr. Hilliard type and that Dr. Hilliard is a quack? If it was, wow that just went wrong and what a narrow-minded message for the show to try to send, to me it came off like significant prejudice against the ways of alternative medicine/healing. I'm hoping that tomorrow they at least try to clean this up a little instead of keeping up with the quack talk.

I think Erica found out that Dr. Hilliard was a fraud before he entered Betty Ford and there is more to the story than he prescribing painkillers to himself and upon reinstating his license, the medical board did not realize this

Blue Streak Ryan

Uh oh baby Spike turns blue on today's show and yet Ryan is not there to be able to help bring his baby boy back to life! Call the media and alert them that the wannabe doctor has not been able to perform miracles just like he did with the Green Butterfly and bringing her out of her psychotic stupidor. My gosh well Ryan has just lost that magical touch of his and is no longer going to have his precious little Dynamite Kiddo medical license to help out someone who is choking on a condom or has passed out after drinking some urine infested Dynamite Lippo wine. Well slap me silly and call me Billy but it appears as if too many people are going to be in woe is me peril that someone will just have to make up for Ryan losing that license of his and come ride to the rescue. For once St. Ryan is not going to be riding on his white horse to come save the day and play HIGH HO Hero but it certainly will not be Ryan. In the meantime the oaf is going to be reduced to waiting tables at the Ho Ho BackaBack restaurant since he really has no use for a job right now that at least requires an MBA. For some reason people in Pine Valley think they can work without a degree but with Ryan he has to have one or else the consequences and risks will be skyrocketing high. Perhaps even higher than Cher's afro. I just wonder now what will happen when Spike turns blue again. Perhaps it could be Ryan will just think he is "getting" the blues rather than is at death's door.

yes very sexy but essentially we're going to have Wes and NuBabe which is like having two new characters that we really don't care about. He might have been a good match for Di but you know the AMC All BABE ALL THE TIME philosophy. Sigh, why is this show so bad?

Haha - I saw that commercial too. Soooo cheesy and off the wall - haha.

Anyway - yeah, I felt sorry for Dr. Hilliard! I don't understand why Erica turned on a good rehab buddy 10 years later just bc he practices alternative medicine that Greenlee happened to find and suggest? WTF! I understand her overreacting once Spike almost died, but again, it was an allergic reaction. I feel bad for the guy.

Again, that Wes is HOT! I wish I didn't read spoilers, bc the whole Graiden 'mystery' thing would intrigue me more...and the transitioning today would have meant something more today in that last scene. That's all I'll say I guess...

Kendall was back to being annoying today - and Minshew was back to over-stuttering. I don't like it when she does that....ugh.

Loved Adam's parenting skills today - loved the coalminer story and how JR doesn't have the drive, etc.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.
