John cracks me up! And I loved the tears from him at the end when he said goodbye to his mom. <sniff> Kayla's pregnant? That was quick!

Today was a good tearjerker day if you're a sap like me. All the Brady's together when Colleen died - OMG she and John killed me! <sniff>

Excellent episode today..I'm loving Bo, Hope, Marlena, John, Steve, Kayla, Shawn, Belle, Chloe, and Philllip all interacting..And i can't wait for them to all lead the february episode counts..Could be the most balanced month in years...Also Shirley Jones has rocked the past few days...She has really impressed me and made me care for Coleen, who i despised over the summer...This episode reminded me of John's death, with all the characters in the room...Great directing and great script..

Yup, today was really a good episode. You can't go wrong with you write episodes about family and having everyone together. Those scenes with John/Colleen and the Brady family saying goodbye to Colleen were so sad. I love that shot of Marlena crying and putting her hand on her mouth when John sat down so Colleen could wrap her arms around her son. :( And then how about that last scene with John leaning over to kiss his mom, then wiping away his tears. :( Kudos to Kathryn Foster for directing today.

I still think it was a bad idea to kill her off so quickly.

Best episode from the scab writers so far!

An absolutely beautiful episode. Shirley Jones did an amazing job with Colleen, and made me care about her so much that I forgot she was a newbie, made up character. Her scenes with John and Shawn Sr. were especially sad and heartbreaking, but everyone did a wonderful job. And Martha Madison simply rocks these emotional scenes--she's one of the most beautiful criers I've ever seen, second only to Deirdre Hall. Ironic that Colleen called Belle the future of the Bradys! I like that Hope mentioned Sami should have been there, because that's my only complaint about this show--Sami definitely should have been there. I don't know how Drake showed so much emotion without showing any emotion--except for the tear at the end--but his scenes with Colleen were very moving. And we got to hear the Santeen music again! Love that; it's so beautiful and haunting.

A little part of me can't help wondering, though......if today's episode was this good with scab writers, how amazing could it have been with Hogan's team?

An absolute superb, memorable episode! Everything played out really well and all of the beats were hit. Shirley Jones was utilized perfectly. Colleen's appearance on the show wasn't dragged out for to long or to briefly it was just right. Phillip and Chloe's scenes were good to.

Nicely done :) !!

That was really well done. It was the type show that made me watch DOOL previously and to come back to it last year. I think Peter Reckell is the most under-rated actor on daytime. He communicates just standing there and watching someone. They way he looked at Sean, for instance. Every year when he is not nominated for an emmy, is another example of why daytime honors don't deserve to be taken seriously, IMO.

Anyway, it was a really good episode.

An unbelievably touching episode. It was truly a real soap opera: emotional, unhurried, family-based. Was it just me, or were some of those scenes the longest individual scenes that have been aired on Days in years?

^ Believe me, it wasn't just you, koos, who thought they were the longest scenes on DAYS in years; it was wonderful. The show as a whole seemed longer. I think part of the reason is that the first segment before the theme song wasn't even 2 minutes long.

Terrific episode by the scabs. I never thought I'd say that.

    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
    • You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

    • "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva. 
    • But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.
    • Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
