Sorry y'all, but today was not that good.
There wasn't any stupid, campy crap, but a lot of the unlikable characters were front and center. And it was quite sad that Marlena had to spend her first Valentine's Day without John with Leo, who once again proved what a selfish POS he is. He was so in love in Javi but now he's practically an afterthought for him. And I'm definitely not looking forward to him trying to prove Dimitri's innocence. This character will never not make my skin crawl. He doesn't deserve to be happy.
And honestly, those scenes weren't a good look for Marlena either. Idk what Paula/Jeanne are thinking but Leo will never be the good guy in this storyline, regardless of how it's written. Not only because of the character's history, but also because of the way Greg Rikaart plays it. As always, even when he's trying to be sincere, I feel like he comes off as fake and manipulative. I hope Javi tries to steal Dimitri away from him when he comes back to Salem. Anything would be better than this.
And honestly, who wrote the dialogue in those scenes? The guy who was going to kill millions of people with a damn Peacock, including Leo, isn't capable of holding people captive?? I know Uncle Ron pretty much wanted us to forget Beyond Salem in order to push this utterly repulsive couple, but come on 🖕
Speaking of Dimitri, it was nice to see him again, despite my hatred of the storyline and my dislike of today's episode. And now that he got bail, it would be the perfect time for him to start investigating what Gwen is up to at the lab... and meet Mark.
As for EJ/Gwen, I'm still not really a fan of the two of them together but their scenes today didn't annoy me as much as they usually do.
And yeah, Kristen is a terrible mother. And Brady giving in to her crap was just sad.
