OMG Nicole's reaction to finding out she was pregant was funny. Now that I have DVR I can record DAYS every day. Nicole's my fave!

And I think Melanie killed Trent.

It's been a long time since I posted, but I must say that I am happy for Nicole and I hope that her baby will live.

I'm not a Sami EJ fan, I like EJ with Nicole. I think that for once, Nicole really cares for EJ.

When did this show get so corny? The dialogue between Doug, Julie, Maggie, and Mickey made me cringe. And the chick playing Melanie sucks!

On a shallow note, Susan Seaforth Hayes looks so much better with her hair short like that. It was the same way as it was when DAYS aired over here (starting with the time that Bo married Gina and she shot Shawn or something like that, and ending with the Coronation massacre) and she's barely aged. That longer hair she was sporting for a while really made her look a lot older.

Oh, I like this idea of Abe running for Mayor. I hope he runs!

And as I said before, the motives for the list of suspects is really pathetic. This is already one of the worst "Who killed.....?" I've seen.

[MichaelGL]

To me it seems either way to predictable or way to corny. It seems to me that Higley is following the book "Writing Soap Opera Murder Mysteries For Dummies" page by page. Like before the murder "I'm going to kill you Trent" was the most heard line on the show now it's going to be either "I would have killed Trent myself blah blah" or "Did you kill Trent?".

[Toups]

"Writing Soap Opera Murder Mysteries For Dummies" - that's exactly what is is!

When you have a murder mystery, you're suppose to have months or years of build up to give the suspects a believable motive. This murder mystery build up happened in 2-3 weeks! Everybody's motive happened in such a short period of time.

Today was another good show. There was a lot of movement and that's a great thing.

I'm glad they made Steve a private investigator and they have him working the the police. Smart move. I always imagined Steve as a police officer, but not really because he's not one to follow the rules, himself, much like Bo back in the day. But with him as a pirvate investigator, he can do his own thing and not have to worry about following the rules because it may look bad on the force if he chooses not to, like Bo always seems to be in trouble with. Maybe Bo and Steve should be PI's together.

Thank God no one believes Caroline could've committed the murder. It's a good thing they mentioned the beatings on Trent and the beating he took probably before he wask killed. It would have been completely stupid for anyone to believe that Caroline could've done it considering what happened, and the writers could've easily went that route.

The mayor is a complete [!@#$%^&*], but I love him so far. I wish he would become a more permanent character.

The scenes between Max and Melanie were right on. For the first time since Max found out he had a sister, despite the several scenes they shared together in Paris and recently in Salem, today was the first time I felt a sibling vibe from the two, and I could see staying power with Melanie as Max's sister and nothing else. The way they sparred against each other, one accusing the other of murdering their father, it was great. Darin Brooks and Molly Burnett played well off each other. That was great.

I thought it was a good move to have Cheslea be the one to put the bug in Hope's ear that Melanie may have done the killing. It reminds the audience that Chelsea's a little conniving and manipulating bitch as well and if she doesn't like you, you better watch your back. Chelsea got back at Melanie for her interest in Nick and she didn't get her fingers dirty at all. I love when they write Chelsea as the bitch she is.

I like Lexie and Kayla's new friendship. Maybe they've been friends for years, since Lexie has been a character on the show since the late-80s, despite Renee Jones only coming into the role in 1992. Were Lexie and Kayla friends back in the day? I wasn't watching then so I don't know. Anyways, I like their scenes together. At first, when I was watching and saw Kayla tell Lexie that she was the interim Chief of Staff, Lexie's reaction made me think she may be a little upset and jealous. But we returned from the break and she was congratulating Kayla. While I don't mind Lexie being okay with Kayla taking over the job, I would have liked a little bit of bitterness from Lexie, sort of the way she reacted to the mayor choosing Hope to be Abe's replacement. Before she knew Hope was Abe's choice, Lexie was ready to duke it out with Mrs. Brady. I hope we do see some sort of resentment from Lexie in the future. It would just be natural.

There have been rumors that Abe would run for mayor since Higley's last stint at DAYS. Since she was booted out before she got the chance to do that back in 2003, I guess she's going to have it at this time. I can see it.

I'm so glad to hear Sami is trying to find a job. She's been unemployed for way too long. Does she evern work at Mythic anymore? Does anyone? I had to laugh when Sami said that she had the top SAT scores in her class. Um, bitch, you never graduated? She dropped out, as I recall. She never went to college. The only thing that could've happened was the piano lessons, but yeah... So whatever on those scenes. I liked the touching EJ and Sami moment. I'm a fan of theirs, due to the chemistry, despite the horrible destruction of both characters.

And HALLELUJAH! Lucas cut his damn hair. It's about time. And did anyone else see a side of the old Lucas come out today? I felt that Lucas had his fire back in today's episode, sparring with Sami and EJ. Lucas and Sami are so much better when they're at odds, and Lucas actually tells Sami off rather than just accepting what she does and forgetting it. I'll take Lucas vs. Sami over Lumi anyday. But I do think it was a okay to have Lucas be the one that found Sami. It shows that despite their hatred for each other now, they will always have that connection and I think that's a good thing to show every now and then. Just keep the two apart please.

There are not to many Days fans enjoying the show these days, but I am one who really enjoys it. I have been really into it since August, and have only been using my FF bottom to fast forward threw commercials(Something I haven't done for at least 2 years). Also, seeing Abe and Lexie front burner has really been nice, and it's about time they got their own story!

Going off topic for a second Days is the only TV show I watch along with the news, and sadly once Days becomes available online here in Canada the cable will be gone for good at least for me. Its sad but I have no interest in TV anymore.

[JackPeyton]

I am loving dfays right now.

No, its not soap brilliance. However, when was the last time Days was soap opera brilliance? In the 70's? Maybe the early 80's?

Its fun to watch. I enjoy it.

[MichaelGL]

IMO it was 15 years ago.

[Toups]

1993-1997, 2002 and Fall 03 to May 04.

Woah, Colin Murphy flashback! Bad memories from a bad era. LOL

On Global, after the opening, it goes back to the show right away instead of commercial break. Is NBC doing the same now?

[Antoyne]

Everytime PR and JKJ pronounce Kiriakis like John Aniston, it warms my heart
