Im glad Im not the only one that feels that way. Ever since they returned almost 10 years ago,its been the same crap. Jack is irresponsible and puts his family second. Jennifer whines about how immature Jack is bc he cant seem to settle down. She gets herself distracted by other men who seem morefamily oriented, blah, blah, blah. I wish they had just killed Jack off to explain her being back in town isntead of going this route again

Anyone else find it so disturbing how everyone started leisurely drinking around baby Parker?! Daniel asked everyone if they wanted a beer, then Chloe suggested white wine. I was like omg you guys can't wait until the baby is napping or something? Carly was holding the baby and was like "Want a brewski, Parker?" ugh that whole scene just annoyed me, I'm no dad yet but I know I would never drink around my baby or anyone elses!!

at Caroline.

Loving where the Hope story is going, I knew she would find a way to secretly put something in that note to Bo to get him to realize that she's in trouble.

This Will/Gabi stuff is just so sudden and there's been absolutely no buildup to any of it, but I still loved them today they are adorable. I loved the scenes where they were text messaging each other! And lol @ the awkwardness that ensued when Rafe & Sami entered the building.

Wow, Johnny told EJ that he hated him. That was pretty intense. EJ deserves it though, he needs to realize the damage he's doing and just stop all of this. I LOVED his scenes with Kate. Her advice to him was so true and I love how once again she used her past experiences to fuel all of it. DAYS has been doing a nice job of that lately. Lots of history mentions across the board.

Well…... the reality is that Europeans and Canadians are not as bothered by drinking as Americans seem to be, and considering Daniel, Chloe and Carly have all spent a good portion of their lives elsewhere, I don't think it was unnatural at all. Jewish children are given a taste as babies, so are Christian children in some denominations when they are baptized. And studies all over the place shows that kids who are raised around alcohol being a natural, normal part of life tend not to grow up abusing it.

I actually thought that whole scene was delightfully normal - especially Carly saying "let's keep to our gender stereotypes", lol

Kate was hitting all the marks yesterday. I'm actually really starting to like her. As for Johnny - that kid has great potential. Intense indeed.

Oh HELL YES to this! SIT DOWN Maria Arena Bell and Hogan Sheffer, because many of the reasons I used to love Y&R are now the reasons why I'm LOVING DAYS. The characters are so richly drawn and three dimensional now- these actors must be THRILLED after years of horrid characterizations and storytelling. I just LOVE the subtleties like the pained look on Nicole's face as Johnny was yelling for Sami- just a few years ago, Nicole would have had no compassion for Sami, as her hatred for her was priority one and the show insisted in shoving it in our faces, even at the expense of Nicole as a character.

The same goes for Kate. A few years ago, NO WAY would Kate have warned Sami that EJ was going to leave town with her children. Her hatred for Sami would have trumped everything, even her own life experience and history. There's a richness now in all of the characters that the writing simply never allowed for before and I have to say it's amazing.

No, it's just written to suit the plot. That's why Sami's rivalry with characters like Nicole, Kate and Lexie are ignored. Alison Sweeney wants to be the shows leading heroine. And what Alison Sweeney wants, Alison Sweeney gets, even though she doesn't have the talent or looks to back it all up with.

Today's episode of DAYS is so different from what I'm used to watching, almost every act has a history mention of some kind lol

Oh, and I think EJ is still a viable character, but they have certainly crossed the line into villainy now. There's a lot they can do with him, but he's no longer a character who can play as just a romantic lead. Any love story would have to be very complicated and slow, and it can't be with Sami.

EJ crossed the line into villainy when he was revealed as the Gloved Hand in fall 2006.

Lord, I didn't even remember those storylines...shame on me...or shame on the sh*tty writing. I didn't consider the Serial Killer Storyline a 'Who Done It?'...I considered it a 'Serial Killer' storyline (LOL soap semantics!)

The writing was good for the Colin Murphy murder storyline. It's my favorite "Who Done It" on DAYS. The one with Trent wasn't good. It was rewritten and rushed.

Old Sami was back for a while today! I love those scenes at the cop shop! Lexie needs story pronto!

Someone better keep an eye on Johnny - that kid is a scene stealer. I loved how nasty he was to EJ. That kid must be having so much fun.

Wow what a great episode today.

The Phloe Flashback <3

Abe & Lexie getting airtime <3

Old Sami raising hell on Abe <3 Oh, how I wish we could have Lexie & Sami locking horns again.

I have to admit that I felt bad for Sami telling Johnny she didn't love him anymore.

Ben & Lexie? Hmmm could be interesting.

Today's episode was so good!

PHLOE!! Omg that flashback was amazing. I love these two together so much, today was the first real sign that they could possibly get back together in the future. Loved when Chloe said to Philip "Thank you for being the first boy who ever looked at me twice." Then DAYS picked the most perfect flashback to follow! It was great.

Lol @ Daniel saying the baby had a dimple and asking what side of the family could that have come from? Camera is on Philip the whole time, his dimples just out and about ;-). Loved that scene!!

Did Abe & Lexie feel distant to anyone else? I sure felt a distance between them...idk, they were just slightly different to me. But I loved the scenes they had with Theo, if only this story could have a bit more of a presence on the show! I felt so bad for Lexie when she realized Theo really didn't make much progress. Then Dr. Walter's came in I saw some chem!! I think it would be interesting if those two got really close and ended up sleeping together.

LOL, loved Sami ripping into Abe! Then Bo settling her down, lol I love Bo/Sami scenes! I like how they interact.

Didn't really feel bad for Sami in the end with Johnny because didn't her and him make that secret signal to show that they love each other? I remember they made that up the other night when she visited him. She used it with him before she left. Those scenes were heartbreaking but then I felt really happy when they signaled each other. So smart of Sami to do that. EJ doesn't have a clue and I love it!

Ben and Lexie... could this finally mean Lexie getting some airtime and being away from old man Abe?

I sure hope so. Ty Treadway & Renee Jones would be smoking hot together.

I sure hope so. Ty Treadway & Renee Jones would be smoking hot together.

So would Renee Jones and half a chance, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Finally a glimmer of old Sami if only for just one scene against Abe..Love whenever Bo calls her Samantha Jean...See Days, Sami works if you let her see other people outside of Will/Rafe/EJ/Grandma

Loved the Phloe flashback from 10 years ago! But didn't Philip "change" faces when he returned in Jan 2007 and that's why his face was bandaged up?
