Don't think he meant to post a spoiler....probably from Canada as that's the episode I saw today also. Probably just thought that was the episode everyone else saw. I forget all the time that the US doesn't see what we see until the next day.

DAYS is seriously firing on all cylinders as of late. With the past week being Marlena-centric, it was so incredible. :D

The whole show is rocking right now, and it has nowhere to go but up, up, up.

On top of that, the balance of characters is just wonderful. Sometimes we have characters showing up in the second or third segment, and they interact with different people. It's so great! :D

I applaud DAYS for the best 2 weeks in a row that I've ever seen since I started watching. Keep it up!

5 stars.

Me too. It's great.

Today was superb. The show has been solid for months now but the last 3 days have been flat out amazing. Whoever said that someone has a firm handle on the show is right. It's so cohesive now and everything just clicks. I think we have Ed to thank for that. He's been a godsend.

Love the Marlena/Belle/Philip scenes and Marlena sniping at Philip. The little Philip/Belle moment while alone was nice. Jay and Martha play well off each other. It was also nice to see Marlena interacting with Claire. Loved the Crystal phone call too and Belle picking up. Ashlee is doing very well right now. Marlena is so fierce right now, even with that phone call, and loved the music and suspense when she was on her way to Crystal and pulled out the gun. Also loved when Belle called Roman to help her. All the beats are being played now and people are moving all over the place and I love it and I love not knowing what to make of Crystal. I tend to think she wants to help and is sort of grasping at straws in a way.

Stefano was amazing today. The lighting of that scene in the beginning with him near the fireplace, drinking brandy was superb. Loved him throwing the glass into it and his scene with the "houseguest" was classic. It was a nice nod to the Pawn days and to some of the flashbacks we used to get of Stefano and John smoking cigars together. Also loved the scene of Rolf with the "houseguest" and how he grabbed him before he could give him the needle. The end was a perfect cliffhanger as you didn't know who was coming after Marlena. All you knew was he had a knife and the music set the tone, along with Marlena pulling out her gun. Loved it. Classic cliffhanger that we should get every Friday.

I enjoyed the tension of the Lucas/Carmine scenes and him kind of toying with befriending him. The part where he offered him a magazine was funny. Also, liked Lucas' scene with Kate. I love seeing these two interact again and love seeing their whole family lately coming together to help each other. Philip has his hands full helping his family. Kate got arrested and now Lucas. Of course, there is also Chloe he needs to help. They should all be glad he has power laugh.gif . EJ punching the cop and ending up in jail with Lucas had a weird hilarity too it and Carmine added to it. Good stuff.

I liked the Sami/Roman scenes and the acknowledgments of her past mistakes and how Lucas forgave her. Fiery Sami has been back of late and is it weird that the Will phone call was the best acting Gerse has ever done and we didn't even see him? laugh.gif I'm glad they got him to do it because it added a nice touch and had to do a double take and then I saw his name in the credits. Hope Will is recasted but it was a nice touch. Nice Carrie mention too and I enjoyed Philip speaking to Sami for Lucas and her only ending up going to see him to give him a piece of her mind. That is the old Sami and I was LMAO when Philip asked her to be easy on him :lol: . After watching on Soapnet again, I also noticed when Sami was talking with Carrie on the phone about Will and she was giving her all these excuses since Will didn't want to talk to her that Sami called Carrie a "bitch" under her breath. Ah...good times :lol:

I hope they can keep this up because 2008 is off to a fantastic start.

    • That would be key; I know they have a "Tribeca" set that's active at the moment, so they could easily use the exterior of that set and then create "indoor" sets on the next set budget. I think that'd be a key idea. I love the community lots we presently have, although there is always room for more.

      Like, you cannot tell me that cannot be some kind of shopfront. Or even a salon front Serenity Beauty & Hair?
    • They really did; I know the transition wasn't as beautiful as many thought it should have been, but at least with Mulcahey at the helm, I felt like there was going to be resolve at some point... even if we didn't know what it was at the time. Seeing everyone turn against Sonny, except for Ava (with her mysteriously nefarious reasons), was beautiful to see. Plus, Mulcahey swiftly fixed Alexis' law license issue that had dragged on far too long. Again, was it perfect? No. But did I get a sense that Mulcahey, if given a true chance, could have done some effective changes? Yes. Very glad to know I am not alone in this, and yes, Harper's chemistry with Sawandi Wilson's Isaiah has been lovely. But it seems like every time there is a viable match, TPTB nix it before it can truly begin.
    • Reading all the theories here and on twitter.  Someone wondered if June is connected to Leslie? So now we have June possibly connected to Hayley, to Samantha&Tyrell, or to Leslie. I love that we don't know! To be honest, the first time she aired, I didn't think June was connected to any major character.  I thought she was simply a client who might prove to have an interesting backstory as part of the "have-nots".   But then June dropped the photograph, so that has to be an anvil or mean something.
    • Thanks for the factoid, that's so interesting! (The character, though, was not, LOL. Ridiculous storyline). You know what? Even though he was a core family member, I think you are right. I would much rather they had kept Alan Michael on the canvas to represent the second Spaulding generation. (Of course, they would have had to write some good stories for the character, which, who knows if they would/could have). Reva, yes, I agree. Her shelf life expired when she drove that car off the bridge. The ever increasing desperation to keep her character relevant after she came back was very difficult to watch.
    • I don't suppose you have that August 4, 1995 episode @soapfan770 has with Hope throwing Nikki out of The Newman Ranch?
    • I have taken extremely long breaks from the show because of Sonny and I didn’t watch in the 90’s so I didn’t realize this was a crutch the show used all the time. Hell even though Maurice hates it, it was the most I could tolerate Sonny because he was written as the ass.hole he actually is at his core. His meds working again don’t erase all the characters I’ve either liked or accepted that I had to watch he and Jason murder and somehow come out as the good guys.
    • When I saw the pic of two kids on a stoop, I immediately though it was Samantha and Tyrell but that could be a red herring. The picture is quite old so maybe it is Hayley and June. This would help to bring Naomi back into Hayley and Bill's orbit. If June is Tyrell and Samantha's mother, that story would seem to be a dead end - unless Martin and Smitty adopted them through improper means. I did wonder if Anastasia is who Shanice has been chatting with during her shift. Her line to Ted about making her mouth even bigger? I was scandalized. Anastasia has to return soon.
    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
    • I would love to see it as part of a backlot shopping district where characters can bump into one another in a more natural way. Lately there has too much getting up and leaving then coming back during meals at Orphey's and Uptown. It's becoming a distraction. There could be shops, more restaurants and a coworking space. All of the "you will never be a Dupree" lines definitely are pointing to this. This is one of my favorite stories. I love stories about show business and MVJ has a background in the music industry so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Anita instigated the breakup - we have already seen her mean streak come out with Hannah and Eva. I expect one member (she called Sharon today) to be holding a grudge and another member (Tracy) to be somewhat bitter but more open to the idea of a tour, playing the role of peacemaker between Anita and Sharon. Maybe Sharon will pull a Mary Wilson and write tell-all about Anita.
