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.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • 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?
