I really like the pace of the Boyd / Nicole relationship so far. I never would have thought to put them together, but they do have loads of chemistry.

Kylie / Evan has me cringing. I like the story, of course, but it is hard to watch because you know it's going to go completely wrong sooner rather than later.

And Roimata now deciding to have a baby to feel connected to TK again? And her strange relationship with Josh. I can't not watch this all go to hell. LoL

Things are getting very messy with Roimata and Kylie. Evan is not what it takes to get the perfection that is Vinnie. The actor playing Evan is doing at great job with this SL so far.

Superstitiously, I have no idea how Roimata could be into Josh when she has TK. He fills out a pair of jeans like nobody's business. But he is such a square, like Sarah, I don't see why them boring bitches ever divorced.

I'm going to need Brooke and Vasa to hang out a hell of a lot more. And I'm so excited that Brooke is now going to try to seduce Boyd for his money. She was already the best character on the show and now this just amplifies her perfection.

Thank God we won't have to deal with a naive Bella trying to become a painter. I love the ditz, but it's good to see she's not that stupid.

And I love hearing about the old Nicole in this episode. I wonder if Brooke's pursuit of Boyd will somehow/eventually make her fall back to her party girl ways. I sure hope so!

I agree with you, Bright Eyes, on two things. Brooke is the best character on the show. Love that look she gets when she starts to realize her current scheme is not working in some way.

And I hate Sarah. She's been better in the last year or so and was OK when she was first with TK but in between that she is so disagreeable, I'm glad she's fictional. Just so self pitying and proud. The scene I recall when she had an attack of MS and Bella had to break in and rescue her, but she still would not let Bella call 111 proves her pride comes before her child's safety. And when she made fun of Daniel for being confused since he originally though she was his sister - her feelings came first, it was clear. Well who wouldn't find that unsettling? Her parents must have spoiled her to raise him that way for her and it shows - she is a spoiled princess.

She divorced TK because she did not want kids and he did - even though he said he was able to live with that and she came first before his having kids, she divorced him merely because someday he might resent her for it. Then she ended up having his kid anyhow.

The show has a long history of female characters who are unpleasant to everyone else but others still cater to them and baby them and reassure them. Besides Sarah, there was Alice, Morgan, Maya, Zlata, Jill, and now we have Ula. Maybe they think they are showing strong, spunky women and that's a good thing, but you can be a strong woman without being a spoiled, demanding shrew.

Is it wrong that I'm happier you hate Sarah than like Brooke? I've never wanted to see a character get put in her place as bad as Sarah. Rachel came close the other day. I just wish someone would make her life hell. And at least with Ula you have people like Vinnie and Nicole reassuring the audience that she's not always in the right. Everyone lays down at Sarah's feet and it makes me puke. And speaking of people I hate, I like Boyd, except when he's looking down his nose at Brooke. He good use a swift slap, too.

Didn't Maya end up going psycho?

I love Alice lol her drunk scenes were awesome.

Morgan though urgh i'm counting down the days til her death, Irish pace is at the bit where she's just married Gerald & she's being a grade a cow to everyone.

We're at the nutty Maia stage, few months after she killed Ethan and isnt coping at all, she went on holiday with her sisters looking after her son (they made her leave without him as she's nuts) she randomly arrived home & took JJ to the park not leaving a note, so Tania thought he'd ben kidnapped.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.

      Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any.

      I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.
