Oh my God... these previews look sweet. The whole show looks like Hogan and the writing staff did their homework.

Almost makes losing John worth it. I have a feeling the show's gonna be very, very sorry it did this in the long run, but short term the material's just been one home run after another.

Can't wait for Thursday.

LOL! That was the character of Kathy Roberts.

She released a statement saying, "You have only to look around you, read your daily papers, to realize that we cannot, any of us, live with life alone..."

She also told Agnes Nixon (then head writer at the time), "Here, it's your problem now!"

Irna only really did it because ATWT was struggling in the ratings at that time. Needless to say, a few months later, ATWT would become the #1 rated soap and stick there for 20 years.

I didn't want to watch the clips but it was just so damn tempting!

The best episode of Days of our Lives I have ever seen. I have been watching for the past 11 years, and there has never been an episode like today's, not while I was watching. Nothing comes close. The writing. The directing. The acting. All three were supurb and really brought this episode to be what it was, and that is simply amazing.

Whoever thought of opening the show with that pier scene from 1991, is a genius. I loved the way it phased into the present with Marlena now on the pier hoping to find John. Instead, she gets Roman. It shows the irony of the whole situation.

The pub scenes felt so realistic. Just to see all of the family and friends banning together getting things ready for the dinner after the funeral. It was nice seeing everyone in one room. It's great seeing Celeste again. Where has she been?

Sami said the line of the freaking century. "This day is not about me, you (EJ) or Lucas!" Never thought I'd hear someone say that. <_<

Victor's entrance was amazing. It added so much drama to the show. John Aniston has such a presence about him. I got chills when he stormed down that aisle. They need to utilize him more. Victor is a powerful man. He's not cartoon-like like the DiMeras. I'm more scared of Victor than Stefano. Not so much Andre. After those disguises (the woman, then the clown), he's one scary dude.

The eulogies were beautifully written and performed. James Reynolds, Martha Madison and Deidre Hall blew it out of the park. Josh Taylor even blew me away with his speech. I loved it. It was a nice little homage to the Roman/John mess.

King, I think you may be right about Roman. There was something in the way he was talking today during his speech. It sounded like he felt victorious as he is the last Roman standing. If he was the one that hit John, this is going to open a new can of worms. Could you imagine what the Bradys will think if he killed on of his own? If Roman was the one that killed John, it better be Roman, no pods or replacements, nothing. I want Roman to have killed John in a sick and twisted way of thinking that by killing John, he finally has his life back that he feels John stole away.

Just greatness. It saddens me to know that DAYS has no chance in hell of getting a nomination, let alone the win next year at the Emmys. They so deserve for these past few weeks.

21 posts for a show that hasn't aired yet.

That's great!

I hate soap opera deaths. It's strange but they're always hard to take, as if they're real people that we're having to say goodbye to.

Brings back so many memories over the years of other characters loved and lost.

Having been a 30-year veteran of this show, something tells me this story is about to take a dramatic turn. I truly do NOT believe we have seen the last of Mr. John Black.

I'm just glad that Hogan is writing the way he should be. The balance still needs work, but it's well on its way.

I'm sorry that John is being killed off. One thing about Wednesday's show. I have though Diedra Hall has just been so-so for a little while. On Wednesday, she was super. It was one of the best performances I have seen in a while. I put it up there with some of those given by Erika Slezak.

      I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?

      I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.

      Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.

      I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.

      Today was really boring. I get we needed to have Martin accepting Eva but man I needed some Leslie today. Anita being hung up on was intriguing though.

      Yup, that's John Mahoney, a few months before the star-studded 1986 production of The House of Blue Leaves. Also, God bless TPTB for thinking that a circus storyline was gonna grab the hearts and attention of viewers.

      I don't think we have. I suspect @Paul Raven could confirm it for sure.  ETA: off the top of my head, I counted 13 sets (counting the hotel room Doug/Vanessa made up in separate from the hotel room Ted is in unless it was refashioned).

      Have we seen them? There’s a bit more variety than some of the other soaps but I feel like GH still has them beat. Right now everyone literally only eats at the country club or Orphy Genes. Jessica and Samantha look like twins.
