BEST. DAYS. NEWS. EVER!!!!

OMG, i cant take it. This is too much. Ali Sweeney is just breaking my freakin heart with every second she is on screen. I still wanna know where the hell GG learned to act that good. And EJ, poor EJ! This is a fantastic story.... now lets hope for an awesome fallout.

I always knew he had it in him. :) Whenever he got the chance to really act on Passions (which only happened like a couple of times on the show), he was pretty good. I thought he was wonderful this past week.

Loving this story too. And I love it when James Scott yells. LOL

I do have some complaints though, I wish there more Lucas/Sami scenes and I wish we got a Sami/Hope/Bo scene where they talk about losing a child. And it's time like this that I miss John and Marlena. Marlena also could've talked to Sami about losing a baby. Surely they could've got Deidre for a few episodes.

I never seen him more than OK on Passions!

I thought the lucas/sami scene was enough. Because they share will, and are friends now, but thats it. I do expect more down the line, but for now i think the one was enough.

Also, i agree about Bo & Hope, but again. We are still pretty much on the same day.day after it happened. She is still reealing from it herself to really have scenes with anyone other than her baby daddies, IMHO.

I agree about Marlena, no excuse. But the same could be said about Eric. I mean, this is his TWIN! lol, but he also wasnt there when Marlena was a crazy killer and got killed herself, so... its a soap. sadly, thats the way it works. And i dont think they could had gotten D for a few episodes to be honest. I was happy they at least mentioned Marlena tho.

Nadja! Step AWAY from the tanning booth! NB is turning into a hairy version of Fanta's little orange bubbles.

Joe Mascolo has the best voice for speaking Italian -- con tutto il mio cuore. Can't believe he was giving Nicole the thumbs-up for the baby switch, though. "Well, at least you picked the healthy baby and not the deficient one." Um, fascism much?

Oh, man, EJ and Sami squaring off was soap GOLD. When EJ swore he would never forgive her as long as she lived. I can see why she wanted to hide Grace from him -- the DiMera's are essentially supernatural-connected Mob family. Few of them ever stay dead for long. However, Sami already has a child by EJ and I don't hear anybody going on about how he's in hiding.

Oh, god, and when Ej and Sami actually starting coming to BLOWS? Like physically hiting each other? I seriously thought they were going to throw down, and I sort of love that both EJ and Sami were beating each other down. Not that I'm into violence but the emotion of the situation... is that weird? It's like Days admitting that Sami isn't just any girly soap heroine, that physically she can hold her own with the guys. Usually chicks on soaps are all pretty and trembly and "Save me, big strong man." Am I making any sense?

Victor's on tomorrow. At Stefano's house, no less. Woot!

I wish nadia would walk away from a tanning booth and into an acting class.

Joe is fantastic, when he decides to try. I am so glad he isnt being lazy here.

Ejami is golden. Something about Ali & James. What they have really is magical, i hateto sound all crazy fanboy, but its how i feel. They just work. They sell it. Anything. They play the passion and the hate both. and they play it equal. They also play it with a level of respect for the other, knowing how much alike they really are.

and ITA about sami, i do wish days would make her more inependent tho. she relays on everyone for everything.

I know most people aren't a fan of the kid, but the guy playing WIll really impressed me today. Typically the younger actors can't cry on command, but his scene with Kate was heartbreaking.

Love Love LOVED the Ejami scene...just pure raw emotion.

EJ: You killed her, you bury her.

Dylan Patton (Will) was fantastic today in his breakdown scenes with Kate. I cant wait to see him react to news that Grace was his biological sister!

Ali & James... phenomenal. heartbreaking. realistic. the pain and the emotion they both played.

Those scenes where sami is preparing things for Graces funeral and EJ sitting with her body. OMG.

This is great drama. This is soap opera.

Ali, James and Galen were once again very good in Thursday and Friday's ep. The scenes at the funeral home were amazing to watch - from EJ/Sami yelling at each other, to Rafe standing up to EJ.

EJ going to see his daughter's body.......what a scene. Kudos to James.

I always love Ali/James scenes but I'll never root for EJ/Sami as a couple - I can't get over the rape. I wonder things would've been different if Reilly had stayed as HW and wrote for them - would he have written them as the "rooting couple" or would EJ have been the villain, the Stefano to Sami's Marlena. And we would've never gotten Santo/Colleen....*shudder*

I admit it....I was wrong....I thought Dylan Patton was going to bomb in the emotional scenes, but he was actually good in that scene with Kate. I still don't like the way he speaks, how he always stops. I wish he would speak smoothly. If he got a handle on that, he has potential to improve in time.

Yup. Tomlin/Whitesell/Higley as a TEAM works because Higley/Wyman and Higley/Scott didn't.

    • I didn’t find it that interesting

    • 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 .
