Pretty decent episode today. Best scenes today were the Chelsea/Stephanie confessions. I love how it cut back and forth between Chelsea telling Nick about Ford and Stephanie telling Max about the rape. But I was disappointed in Nick. After all that Nick's done for Chelsea, he walks out on the woman he loves?

Looking forward to tomorrow! It's the big day! :D

I think I'm siding with Nick on this one. Chelsea keeps making stupid mistakes and getting herself involved in bad situations and never seems to learn anything from it. Zack, the hairbrush incident, Ford....she has to learn to accept responsibility and suffer the consequences of her actions. Sure, Nick may love her, but he's probably had enough of getting in trouble for Chelsea's mistakes--he lost his job at the hospital, lost all his money, almost went to jail. Now he has a job he likes and is rebuilding his reputation, and I don't blame him for walking out on Chelsea today. I've grown to love the girl, but she's pretty toxic. And you know he'll be back...he always comes back panting like a puppy dog.

I was so disappointed in Nick too. But when I think about it, I wasn't that surprised. This is what he usually does, then after a while he's back. Let's hope there's still some sense left in that head of his.

Liked the scene when Steph told Max about the rape. Good job Shelley.

Wow, pretty much half the cast was on today..We had Nick, Chelsea, Max, Stephanie, Bo, Hope, Shawn, Belle, Phillip, Chloe, Claire, Crystal, Roman, Abe, Sami, Lucas, EJ, Stefano, Rolf, Marlena, and the mystery patient....I have to say with so many cast members, it was a well put together episode...

I'm really enjoying how mysterious Crystal is, and they are doing a good job of slowly integrating her into the show...Instead of some new character that are shoved down our throats on a daily basis...Marlena was so fierce today, and i'm loving her getting scenes with so many different characters..Also its nice to have Marlena's daughters there for her..Back when JER was around, we hardly saw interactions like that...A day like today would have never happened..

Finally, i enjoyed the Nick/Chelsea and Max/Stephanie scenes..i really liked how they cut back and forth..What sounded dumb, turned out to be a surprisingly good story...I just hope that this groups next story is more integrated with the rest of the cast..and i'm hoping with Tony and Anna around, that may happen..

Superb again.

Everything is interconnected, people are interacting with family and friends, every scene has a meaning and purpose, there is direction to every story, nothing seems forced...wow. I love it. I also love the pace and the usage of so many cast members and sets per episode. Plus, the way people pop in and out is great.

Loved the juxtaposition of the Max/Stephanie and Chelsea/Nick scenes. Adding the flashbacks in was a nice touch. Rachel and Shelley did a superb today. Good work. I think Nick only walked out because he was in shock at what happened. I did enjoy their scenes and Max crying when Stephanie went to lay down...loved it. Darin was so good there and...Lord help me...I am beginning to like Stephanie and Max. :lol:

Loved the "patient" scenes. Just like the good old days and loving Stefano and Rolf, especially the end with Stefano grinning. The scene with the "patient" cleaning Marlena's window was creepy and very engaging. Loved it.

Bo/Hope/Shawn was so cute in the beginning. It was a classic Days scene that warmed your heart. His shout out to Claire, the medal...loved it. Hope overhearing Crystal made me laugh. She has become quite the busybody.:lol: I do like how she passed the message on to Marlena. Good interaction. Bo and Hope were adorable today too. I also liked the chemistry between Shawn and Chloe, as well as the Chloe/Philip scenes. Little Claire is too cute for words.

Lucas and EJ and the fight in the cell was hilarious. Carmine's reaction, Lucas and EJ sniping and offering different views of what happened was hilarious :lol: . Sami is feeling more and more like herself and she looked like herself today with her hair and all. I think she looked fine and enjoyed her scenes. She is more Sami-like now and loved Roman, Marlena, etc counseling her about Lucas and Marlena talking with Lucas and EJ. They are really showing how much the Brady's stand behind Lucas. Loved Marlena telling EJ to prove himself too. Seeing more Belle/Sami bonding was a nice touch as well.

I loved that DA calling out Bo, Roman, and Abe on them bending the rules and getting people off all the time. I was glad they mentioned the heat her office was under for the actions they take. Very good and I am glad that was acknowledged. Also loved Marlena going off on them and it looks like we get more of that tomorrow. She has a right to be upset and her asking what is going to be done is realistic. I have to admit, when Marlena walked in with Sami and Belle on both sides of her, I kind of thought of Charlie's Angels for some reason :lol: .

The week is off to a great start.

Wanted to chime in and say that the show is superb. Honestly, I don't know what it is that has become of the show as of late. I'm definately watched more of DAYS than I did last year that's for sure. And I'm so glad this sorority storyline doesn't suck compared to the one they had last summer.

    • 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?
