Ok....

1. If it hasn't been said before, I'll say it now.

Only Nixon could go to China......

And only Joe Mascolo can play Stefano DiMera. Only he can turn kidnapping John, erasing his memory once again, and keeping him prisoner into calling himslef a saint!

2. Josh Taylor with the line of the day......

"I don't want to look at his face any longer. Get him outta here before I strangle him."

and JM.......

"It isn't over........not by any STRETCH of the imagination. No, Bo Brady......this is merely........the beginning."

This show is on fire. It does still have its faults, but this is truly the best this show has been in years. Every other soap better look out.....

The REAL Days Of Our Lives is here, and as The Phoenix says......

"It's good to be back!"

Really good episode.

John/Marlena were great. The Bo, Hope, Roman and Stefano scenes were very good. Stefano was scaring me and making me laugh (in a good way) - such a sociopath and once again a great villain. I got the sense the characters aren't as stupid as they were last time I watched the show on a regular basis. That's very nice.

The only scenes I didn't really care for were with Chelsea and Patch and Kayla's daughter. That's playing like a bad horror movie (not even a horror movie, but a mock of one), at this point.

Watching today I felt like DAYS was actually a soap opera I could get back into, I never thought I'd feel that way again. I'll keep on watching to see if they can keep this up.

Very good episode. I hated to see it end!

I loved the focus on Stefano's chess set and am excited to see what kind of game he's setting up...he certainly didn't seem at all concerned that John was discovered so I think it's all part of his plan. The Marlena/John scenes were wonderful. He seems so blank and innocent and yet he seems to instinctively trust Marlena.

Only one complaint--please get some makeup on Hope!

Fantastic show today yet again.

The J&M scenes were gold. Dee knocked it out of the ballpark and I love the nod to history to the handshake in 1986 at Shenanigans. That was wonderfully played and I like how Bo got attacked by John for being a cop. Loved snarky Stefano and his cigar :lol:. "I have no peers." :lol: He had quite a few one liners today and his scenes with Roman were quite fun. As I said, this was all too easy. It's all part of the plan for Stefano. It's clear this is John's mission beginning now. Stefano's line to Bo about this only being the beginning gave me chills. I also jumped a bit when Rolf jabbed John with the needle. This story just rocks and it's like I am going back in time.

I love Crystal and Rob too. Both actors are playing the roles well. You don't what their intentions are and that makes a good mystery. Kudos to Days for how they are portraying this kidnapping. It's scary and Martha and the little girl playing Claire are rocking this. The family one was chilling and so was the line Crystal had about Brady being gone. Wonder what that is about. The Chloe/Shawn scenes rocked too. This quad is just amazing and I enjoyed how Sami and Philip interacted again and how they were in scenes with Hope, Chloe, and Shawn as well. Seeing so many characters crossing paths is just so enjoyable. The tension between Shawn and Philip yet them coming together to find Belle and Claire, Sami telling Philip she knows he cares about Claire, Hope asking the detective what has been done...the little things. I just love them. Perfect.

The detective did look like RKK. He was on during EJ's shooting too. I like him. I like how realistic things are. Also, I hated it last week but thinking about it more, I like that KA is wearing no makeup. It adds to the realism given all that is happening. It shows how much Hope cares that she didn't take the time to stop for makeup.

The Chelsea/Stephanie scenes were good. I agree that Rachel played it well with how subtle she was. I like how she is taking Nick's advice and trying to fix the mistakes made. It shows growth. Stephanie/Max was ok but nothing much there. I like how supportive he is and I love how Days is handling the rape. Stephanie should slowly tell everyone and should not give a damn about Ford. Shelley played it beautifully IMO. She was controlled and tried to hold back but eventually just let it all out. Her scenes with Ford's father were impressive as well. I like him too. He plays the right emotions and really fits the role,. How quick he went from angry to begging for answers to where the body was...impressive work. I really enjoy this story and love the tension of Chelsea taking action and Stephanie against it.

Overall, wonderful show and tomorrow looks fantastic as well.

Great episode... it ended too soon. That music during the J&M scenes almost choked me up again. The Chelsea/Stephanie stuff is okay, but I can't see it going anywhere but drawn-out and headache-inducing. Fortunately, the rest of the show was exciting and gripping.

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
