Victor is always such a charming host at his parties. :lol:

I just can't get enough of John Aniston, and wish there were more people pissing Victor off. Daniel saved Philips's life, Chelsea's life, Bo's life, Kate's life and even Vuctor's own life I think, and all that gets forgotten because Daniel slept with the town slut.

Just wanted to extend my personal thanks to Days' PTB for yesterday's episode:

1. Sami & Rafe's love scene. Certain soaps do not believe in Love in the Afternoon anymore. But not Days. It's like the producers got together and mused "You know what we don't have enough of? Love scenes between a potential supercouple. Love scenes in a bed. With satin sheets and soft lighting. Like it's the 80s!"

The only thing missing? Don Henley's Boys of Summer playing in the background. Then it would have been truly NBC-Daytime-80s.

2. Shirtless Philip and Brady. JKJ and EM have been shirtless for more than one episode. Why? Who cares? SP&B = a good thing. For all you confirmed bachelors out there, Philip was also wrestlin' shirtless for an extended period with Owen.

And are Days really letting Wes Ramsey go? Because I am gonna put $$$ on GH picking this Tom Pelphrey lookalike and casting him as Dante.

I'm scared to watch. :( I don't like seeing little babies sicken.

Maggie is so... there are no words. I love how she is like the matriarch of the show and everybody needs her advice.

Daniel fantasizing about Ghoul Girl was... kinda hot!

I was watching the other night on Soapnet ... and YES.

DAYS has the most attractive cast in daytime, particularly the males. I'm not talking about their hair (especially the males), but physically. Hot. I'm not usually superficial, but so, so YUMMY - sometime a girl just needs to drool, lol. EM's arms are amazinj. JKJ/Philip has a gut but still hot. The new cast of youngens - they're not terrible actors.

I agree on Ramsey. You have him, try to keep him! He's good.

I accidentally read a baby Grace spoiler on another site because the spoiler was in the subject/topic. Ugh!! <_<

I hope he stays too. If he's gone, what a waste of a good actor.

Damn, Ali Sweeney just freakin NAILED it. Yes, her performance was a bit OTT at times. And No, im not claiming shes the best actress ever, however she plays Sami Brady to perfection. Sami went into mass panic at one point and Ali took it OTT, but not to far over. And IMHO its hard to play over the top hystrical without it coming off comedy.

I love Daniel Jonas. There, i said it. I dont care. He is a fantastic male character and i hope he stays on the show for a long time. I am also sooo down for his next woman to be Sami!

I really liked the roman/stphanie and kate/philip and philip/steph scenes. I love Shelly, shes come a far way. I mean, shes still got miles to go before shes great or outstanding, but she improves a lot over time.

I also love Chloe & Lucas. And Chloe & Daniel. The only angle i dont like of the story is Kate, she needs to go. Now.

But i hate the fantasy's.

Will & Mia :wub:

Jealous insecure Nicole watching EJ & Sami was great. I loved Sami & Lucas' scenes too.

I will say its moments like todayn with Sami and Stephanie where Marlena and Kayla/Patch are missed, but they handled it OK.

Mia finally standing up to Nicole! I loved it.

I cant wait to see EVERYONES reaction when the swap comes out.

I also love Ali & Joe in scenes together. Stefano & Sami anyone? :wub: lol... Ejami :wub: Sometimes i forget how amazing Ali & James are together. I love Sami & The DiMeras. I loved her with Tony too back in the day.

Ha. Stefano knows. EVERYTHING! Yes! That is a great twist.

See, I didn't think Ali Sweeney was OTT at all. I'm not a mom but I can just imagine how frantic I would be if I was in hospital watching my cute baby get worse and worse -- and having to ok a lumbar puncture? I had to watch my mom get one this year and it was HELL o' painful. Watching my mom cry was bad enough, but that little baby screaming when Daniel performed the procedure? OMG, I know I'm a sap but I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

IMO, AS was right-on as Sami. Who wouldn't be upset and panicking and having a nervous breakdown? I never not bought her hysterics yesterday.

I could get behind and Daniel/Sami pairing. If Rafe wasn't already established as the Right Guy for Sami! Plus, Daniel is turning into a big ole ho. How much Salem ass has this man tapped?

Eh, Shelley. She is very pretty and she and JKJ have a lot of chemistry. But Stephanie comes off as a bimbo. It's like watching Nadja Mark 2 sometimes. OK, Nadja really *is* bad and SH is moderately better but I'm still not seeing much beyond a big ole cloud o' bland. Philip was all "You are the love of my life blah blah" but I can't really see why. As you say, she still has a ways to go. Maybe TPTB just needs to give Stephanie more dimension.

Ejami do still have it. I liked how both EJ and Lucas were there for Sami in a time of crisis. And of course Stefano knew. The moment Stefano caught Nicole spying on Ejami in the hospital, I knew he knew.

BTW, can you refresh me about the switch. I'm still confused. Nicole is passing off Sami & EJ's baby as her own, right? And baby Grace is Mia's right? Or is it Nicole's? I thought Nicole lost her baby? And does Sami think Grace is her & EJ's baby but she's hiding it from him because of all the DiMera sh!t?

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
