EJ & Sami so remind me of classic Stefano & Marlena cat and mouse scenes.

James & Ali play bitter ex lovers scorned and out to get eachother so well.

I am loving that Ali went makeupless after Grace died too. Adds a touch of more realisim IMHO.

Abby was mentioned today. And the show finally wrote Patch & Kayla out of town.

Nicole needs to be killed.

Hot damn. AS and JS are on fire.

Ejami as mortal enemies is just about the best thing this show could have done in the last few weeks. Every time they have a confrontation, it's like a fight to the death. I can't tell whether these two want to rip each other's eyes out or tear each other's clothes off. OK, obviously everybody is sad about baby Grace and all. But you know, eventually, down the line, somebody over at Days is going to say "Hey. May Sweeps. Sami and EJ giving in to their love/hate passion." In the meantime, I am just going to love them doing battle because they do it so well. EJ bending waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down to whisper sweet threats to "Samantha" is absolutely priceless.

Daniel. OK. I still can't get into Dr. Pelvis. Shawn Christian goes all cross-eyed everytime he does his "Ah cain't keep away from u Chloe" speech. And his "sexy" hoarse voice is bordering on Sam McCall whispery ridiculousness. I mean, I know he hasn't got much to act against (a plank of wood with a weave) but, really. He is letting his hairy chest do all the acting for him.

I will say that Days does brilliantly what no other soap does right now -- delayed sexual gratification. Eternal foreplay. Soaps pioneered and excelled at this once upon a time. When EJ and Sami fight, you feel it. When Daniel zips up Chloe's dress and start panting, you feel it.

Poor Lucas. Always the guinea pig, eh.

Sami turning to Philip and Stephanie just moved the Kiriakis/DiMera feud up a couple of notches. I like how the Bradys are just bystanders caught in the middle at this point.

Gross, no thanks. LOL When EJ/Sami go into Santo/Colleen mode and become all romantic, it ruins them.

They are better like this, it's way more enjoyable.

I'm so glad Kate's back to revenge mode - it's fun watching her try to kill/harm Chloe and like I said before, she is what makes this storyline watchable.

Yup. It's too bad Daniel/Chloe are getting the "I want to be with you but can't" angle - if this were a different couple I would be enjoying all the sexual tension. Reilly-1 was very good at this. This and Kate trying to kill Chloe with poisonous eggs are just more thing that this regime does to remind me of Reilly. :(

Even though nothing came out of it, I still liked it those scenes because I'm a big fan of character/family interactions.

I'm still on yesterday's show thanks to the stupid pre-emptions that put me behind. Was it ever mentioned where Steve and Kayla are before? I haven't missed an eppisode in years and I never heard anyone say that they left to a third world country to help out. Did I miss something? I thought they were supposed to just wander off screen and still be in town. Which would really suck and there would be no explanation for them not being with Stephanie given all that she has been through. But still, that was the first time I heard of them being gone.

Nicole really has me feeling sorry for her. Ari in really stepping up in these scenes. I hate to say it but I'm on her side and not Sami's right now. Nicole is showing more of a human side to her than I've really ever seen from Sami. She hates Sami yet she feels sorry for her. Sami would never show any type of empathy for Nicole. Just for that alone imho Nicole is the better person right now.

I think this was the first time it was mentioned that they were in the 3rd world country.

I'm loving Nicole/Ari too. I was surprised to see her call Sami and offered to help her see Johnny. Nicole feels so guilty, but of course she won't tell the truth, and I like that in Nicole.

AS & JS are magic together. Love, hate, the inbetween. They just have it and have from the first moment they met on screen. I hope Days forever plays this up.

I love Daniel. LOL. IDK, but i do.

Lucas is what he should be.

And i so agree. The Bradys who? OK, well Steph and Sami are Bradys so they are involved, but really the only Brady who really thoguht of Sami as one is Caroline, lol. I do love how Bo is just trying to stay out of it. he is like yeah, me and hopeless have delt with them long enough. we r done, yall r stupid. lol. But i do love Sami going to Stephanie. I like the family relations being played up, i just wish they had more of Bo/Philip brother scenes.

Kate is the worst part of the show. I wish someone would kill her off.

I disagree about Kate. While I will always fondly remember Deborah Adair, Lauren Koslow is a treat to watch, even if she is treading water through the same old "No woman can have my son but me" story (Nicole... Sami... now Chloe). More than that, she and Shawn Christian have explosive chemistry together and I sort of wish Daniel would go back to his hot affair with the cougar.

Chloe: I'm not cut out for TV. I've been saying that from the beginning.

:ph34r: She said it, not me!

SalemPlace, I agree about AZ and Nicole. I don't know how she's done it, but yesterday she had me feeling for her and was Voice of Reason with Stefano. BTW, I love the way AZ and JM naturally integrate in their scenes their interaction with the baby who plays Sydney.

Thoughts on Stephanie & Philip? I know she's all Stepford-y and stressed with the pills and Owen but... it's like the actress is shy about looking into her fellow actor's eyes! I wasn't feeling their connection yesterday.

^^ It's been a few weeks now. They are so quick I almost missed it the first time and FFd through it. I like them and find it a nice little addition to the show.

Yeah but they do have to tread lightly. As Toups said, when they get all Santo/Colleen, the whole vibe is ruined. No matter what happens, the knock-down drag-out adversarial nature of their relationship has to be preserved.

I love him too. I don't know why either. I'm just a sucker for hot, hairy chested man-hos I guess. I just can't help myself.

But I have to wonder if Bryan Datillo ever gets tired of the Loser McClueless routine.

There's just something about Koslow, I can't hate Kate even when I want to.

    • 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 .
