Overall though, I found this to be yet another boring as hell episode. As mentioned, I'm so over this gaslighting mess and how stupid it makes everyone involved look.

Noah is the voice of reason, all those adults around him are idiots. However, I wish we could see Noah a lot more than he is being used, I get that he's recurring, but still. They can't just have him decide to want to be legally emancipated from his parents and use him sporadically, even if Jack talked him out of it today.

Stacy Haiduk has a great body.

I can already smell Adam and Patty Jane being in cahoots together down the road. Meh, I really don't care to see the two psychos join forces for more ridiculousness.

I still think not developing him was a deliberate writing choice. They probably want viewers to be shocked at the idea of straight Adam using a man to get what he wants. Rafe as a character may not be relevant. He's just the gay man who is being used.

I think the twist is too cute by half. I don't enjoy seeing the writers pat themselves on the back, which is what I get from this twist, and some other moments like all the stupid chipmunk stuff. I know I'm being petty, but after what they've done with Adam I can't be as objective as I probably should be.

So based on tomorrow's episode I have concluded that we have these interchangeable characters in the Mac/Billy/Chloe- Sharon/Nick/Phyllis dynamic. Since the stories are so plot heavy I have to point out that based on current states the stories being done on each triangle have been done on the other within the last year at most. Boring! Next up lets see what they do with Nina-Jill-Katherine and Victor-Nikki-Ashley-Jack. Adam is up in the air there are just too many holes in his current story.

I can't judge Muhney's acting in this role yet, he didn't have much to do in today's episode. His facial structure is a little hard, so I can see how some would interpret him based on that alone, but I didn't think he was hideously bad in his first episode, especially given the circumstances of him being on this show. I think he plays the faking blind thing a lot better than Engen did based on this one episode though.

  • Love the new Adam. He's amazing. And yes, he does have chemistry with Vail. In fact they had a a sweet scene together. He's got the depth, the pathos, that's needed for the character. Engen had that Tom Cruise thing that made everyone love him, but this guy is the real deal. YAY! Poor guy though - he had no time to get in shape for a shirtless scene. Shame on them for making him do that!
  • What is Victoria wearing? Her scenes today with Victor was so HUH?
  • Nick asked Noah if he's going to keep mooching off his grandpa? I take back what I said - Noah go get emancipated from that jerk of a dad.
  • I shocked myself a little bit when I got SO happy during MJ's dream. Even then I knew it wouldn't take, but I was SO happy to see Jack say he only wanted MJ! Damn she's got the hottest body. If we don't get Vail in a bikini this summer, at least we get SH in her underwear.
  • Ashley is coming off as the Mayor's wife in The Color Purple! All that's missing is Ashley saying "I've always been nice to you people!" When Heather can look superior to Ashley, explaining why she didn't fight to have Estella put behind bar without bail, you know Ash is SAD.
  • I always knew they were waiting for the recast before they had MJ and Adam intersect. Good choice. And poor MJ, now Victor thinks she's the gaslighter! poor MJ.... :(
  • Previews for tomorrow - WOW!!!!!!!!

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

      This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
