Can they bring on Andrew Trischetta as Jack Jr? Its ridiculous that this character isnt around and makes Jennifer come across as an awful mother considering she hasnt seen him in over a year

Now Melanie's going to be a model? I love her but wow, am I the only one who finds it really annoying how Madison is scampering around town asking everyone to model for her...what is up with these writers turning everyone into models?? rolleyes.gif

And all anyone ever does on DAYS these days is waltz around town (literally) in circles & have conversations. Where is the drama & juicy stories?

The Jack/Marlena stuff with the war veterans today was really good, I loved that Actress who was playing Pat...Mattew Ashford was awesome!

I like the plot movement in the political race in terms of the stolen jobs program. Nicole catching on there is more to Will / E.J. than she knows. E.J. knowing Nicole is going to try and bribe Will and then labelling their relationship dysfunctional. Abe and Jennifer deciding to put the screws to E.J. as a result of the job plans fiasco. This is decent plotting, but I'm still not emotionally invested in the outcome. E.J. being the mayor of Salem would certainly provide the most conflict, but E.J. is such a nasty human being I cannot imagine him being elected. Now, if the Dimeras rigged the election, I think the eventual downfall of E.J. would be something worth watching especially if they played outside the box like having a scorn Nicole help Abe, while reestablishing the parental role Abe played now and again in the lives of Fay's daughters.

This is the first time I've seen Jack in a while. Granted my viewing is sporadic, but are viewers invested in Jack's story? The idea behind Jack's return was great, but I'm shocked by the lack of conflict it has provided. Other than the scenes at the cabin, has Jack had any other episodes? I saw some scenes in December with Jack and Abigail about the journalism award, but Jack seemed okay. I think I would be more invested if I saw how Jack's illness was affecting his day to day life. I thought the therapy session was nice, but I find the writing tends to be a bit preachy at times.

I have no problem with "Days" telling business stories, but this all feels so inorganic. Everyone is suddenly becoming involved after toying with other career options. I'm quite aware young people change jobs all the time, but it all seems to be a bit much. I miss the hospital crowd and am disappointed University Hospital, which was important to the show since the beginning, has been pushed aside in favor of the lipstick wars.

    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
    • Joel Crothers would have been perfect as Owen (maybe because Margo wasn't too far off Denise). A shame he couldn't have played a dual role. Eliot did have more room to grow. I wonder if whatever allegedly happened with Denny Albee played a part in both their exits.
    • Andre is the standout in the cast among the males when it comes to fashion.

    • I remember Evie's last scene and it was in Justin Marler's house and she is telling them that Ben is asking for a reconciliation and she is going to join him. I always have wondered what Janet Grey did after leaving Guiding Light (I know from the interview with Kathleen Cullen that she did have a baby and they stayed in touch for awhile).
    • https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/trump-accept-luxury-plane-gift-qatar Donald Trump is reportedly ready to accept a luxury plane described to be a “palace in the sky” being offered to the US president as a gift from Qatar’s royal family, almost immediately igniting accusations of bribery and corruption as well as commensurate criticism. citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, ABC reported (link) that the Trump administration was preparing to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8, a jumbo jet from the Qatari royals that was estimated to be about $400m. Trump would then use the 13-year-old plane as the new Air Force One until shortly before the conclusion of his second Oval Office stint, at which point it would be transferred to his presidential library foundation no later than 1 January 2029. The luxury gift from Qatar is expected to be announced next week during Trump’s three-day tour of the Middle East that includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, ABC reported. Trump toured the opulent plane in February while it was parked at the West Palm Beach international airport, ABC added. According to ABC’s sources, Trump’s attorney general Pam Bondi and his top White House lawyer David Warrington have pre-emptively concluded that it is “legally permissible” for Trump to accept the luxury gift and then transfer it over to his presidential library.
    • Yeah I’m confused how wearing baggier clothing wouldn’t just make him even smaller. I have no problem with his fashion at all. He’s a well put together man.
