Well those grainy flashbacks and Stephanie's behavior reaffirms my fear that she was raped. Ugh. And Ford is too OTT creepy awkward to live! What was his Halloween costume supposed to be anyway? Rapist in a vest? Thank goodness Max and Morgan continue to be totally freaking adorable. But if Hogan's way of putting Stephanie and Max back together is that the truth comes out about Stephanie's rape and Max feels sorry for her and helps her get through that I'm going to be sooooooooooo annoyed. Oh poor Cordy. :( Hogan had previously talked about a moratorium on killing babies (which he lied about with Willow's baby dying). When will this show put a moratorium on sexual assault stories? Because today is fine with me.

That said, I loved Chelsea's snark to Stephanie that maybe she should be wearing her devil costume when she was snarking on Morgan and though I don't always feel bad for Stephanie in her pining for Max I did today even though I prefer Max and Morgan together. Wasn't crazy about Chelsea's forehead makeup but was happy for the moment of Chick fun and their angel-devil cuteness. It's almost like between Steve and Kayla yesterday and Chick today this show is trying to mix in a little romance with the dark, dramatic stories? What a concept.

I couldn't help smiling when EJ was so impatient with Kate for the paternity results and so giddy when he got them and talking about the zoo and the park and all that whether the selective morality police elsewhere thinks I'm a heathen for not hating this show for "rewarding a rapist" or not. But damn EJ was delusional talking to Stefano about what a piece of cake it will be for him to win over Sami and thinking she will go along with all of his plans for their son. Kind of an interesting juxtaposition with Sami's delusions yesterday talking to Bo about how she isn't going to let Stefano anywhere near the kids and her delusions today that her marriage to EJ won't put a crimp in her and Lucas's love life whatsoever. Cleopatra and Marc Anthony ain't got nothing on this Queen and King of DeNial. I have a feeling they are both in for extremely rude awakenings when the smoke clears following the wedding.

As for the Santo Domingo stuff... what the hell was that crap about the black and white movie where the immigrant girl comes to America and marries some man she doesn't know and they fall in love but they can't get married in a church? Was that supposed to have any relevance to Lucas and Sami whatsoever? Because I didn't get the connection and it actually reminded me more of Santeen with the foreigner rushing into marriage and the priest stopping it from happening. So WTF? The whitewashing of the icky Franco history when the subject of Lucas committing murder came up also annoyed me with Sami not having any bitterness when she talked about Lucas having killed Franco but her being the one who went to death row and he let her stay there and then recanted his confession and kept quiet about the crime for years afterward because he wanted to retain custody of Will. I mean I buy that she's forgiven Lucas because she loves him, but to have no resentful feelings about that event whatsoever because of that love? Not buying it AT ALL. Even with all that whitewashing, I still can't root for this pair. Stick a fork in Lumi already and FINISH THEM, DOOL. They're DONE.

Randomly, I loved the fireplaces at the DiMansion as I hadn't noticed those before but damn I'd think EJ could get some better stationery than he had for the fax he sent Sami about the twins. Someone in the props department needs to work on their paper skills. I mean the church annulment papers looked like a takeout menu and now this. Work on it, Ed.

I loved the Max/Chelsea scenes. Those two could have sych a great friendship, i wish more soaps had friendships.

The Chick scenes were adorable. I dont know who i wanted more - Devil Chelsea or Nick as an Angel!

The rape storyline could be good... but its falling flat. But then again after watching Degrassi for 7 years all teen storylines on soaps fall flat.

Lumi wasactualy cute today, for once in a long time! I thought the movie note was cute, i dont think the overall plot was suposed to reflect Lumi, just the love they had.

EJ & Stefano had the best scenes.

It wasn't a great episode but not a bad one either.

I'm liking Morgan - and Morgan and Max the more I see her/them. Meaning I figure Days will ruin it by putting Max and Stephanie back together. The way Stephanie is acting (over him) is annoying and I'd like to see her move on with someone else. lucas maybe?? If she was raped - and I'm getting the feeling she was - I'd like to see Max there for her - but only as a friend and along with Chelsea, Nick, Morgan etc. It looks like this aspect of the storyline isn't going to drag on and that's a huge plus. The sorority group can be interesting without having a freaking rapist - Days just needs to steer away from that kind of storyline; although it does show the contrast between what Ford is doing vs Dec 29. I'm sure Cordie and others would have LOVED to have had a choice in the matter!!

IMiss - I hear you loud and clear on both EJ and Sami being in for a rude awakening once the smoke clears. They're not giving each other enough credit, which hits me as funny. They're so much alike and seem to realize it - yet they're just not seeing it right now or they'd both know better than to even entertain those expectations. I loved EJ's excitement over the baby and the way he spontaneously picked up Kate for a hug. Enjoyed the scenes with Stefano and EJ, too - but I'm curious about that DNA report Stefano was looking at after Andre died and how/when it will tie in.

As for the Sami and lucas scenes, at least they didn't go over the same things like they've been doing so that was refreshing; and for a split second I thought lucas was pulling out his escort service card out of his wallet :eek:

and if they had a choice, and they chose to sleep with him, it wouldnt have been rape... sami decided to sleep with ej. she chose to do it. she was a consenting adult. in no way was that rape....

i couldnt agree more about sami and ej being more alike than they both relize. and i dont know why they did this sicne in the beging they seemed to relize it. but whatever, hopefully days stops the ej distruction for lucas propping and tell a good story about a woman torn. cant wait for that wedding.

lol at the escort service card, that woulda been MAJOR lolz!!

i also hope that Days is only going there with steph/max from steph's side.

im watching an old days eppy and just saw a preview for Jennifer & Peter's "wedding to die for" lol.

Lumi was sad. Bryan and Ali rocked that. I am just glad we are getting somewhere.

I wish Kate would tell EJ to !@#$%^&*] off. Her running around for him is annoying. I did like his reaction to the baby being his. Scott played that well. The best scene was the one of Stefano up and walking while listening to his opera. Classic. Glad to hear the stem cells mentioned. Hope Stefano gets them so we can tie that up.

The sorority story is fun. I liked the end and I am enjoying seeing them all in a story that fits their age and isn't over the top.

    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, they made her manic and also much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been completely decimated. Almost every shot was of her by herself because nearly everyone she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.
