I know the production model they use is what keeps the show on the air, but it also contributes to the problem if you ask me. "Oh, we know we're going to have Nicole heavy in story for 15 episodes out of 20 next month, so let's not show Ari for two weeks."

Viewers notice these things. I notice when my favorite characters aren't on screen (I used Nicole as an example, but you know what I mean)... I know the alternative is no show, but there has to be a slightly better way to do this.

So Sami's new apartment has a great view of the Horton Town Square. Is she gonna look out her window and spy Will getting it on with a hot guy at the next gay bar night?

KA's Gina is off. She was better at it in the 90s. At least she tried. DH's Pawn is exactly like his John

That's what I'm thinking. At least it would be more soap-y than everyone just admitting things the next day rather than waiting for a dramatic discovery (I'm looking at you Abigail).

Also, when I first was watching today's show at first it seemed like Hope and John were faking their conversion into Gina and the Pawn. I was surprised when the episode moved on and there wasn't a reveal that they were actually still Hope and John. If they are going to stay as Gina/Pawn for awhile I hope they can get more comfortable with those characters (and especially Gina's accent) again. I enjoyed the Gina SL in the late 90s, but it just seemed kind of awkward today.

I don't think there are any spoilers here except in vaguest ways when they discuss their story. This is a week old.

LOVE that Abby sees right through Gabi and called her out on her ish. I hope she keeps it up and tears into her

Why do I get the feeling that on Monday, Nicole and Rafe are going to convince EJ that she's pregnant with Rafe's kid?

These women are so stupid and never learn, it makes me feel no sympathy for them when EJ goes bat crazy insane and mind tortures them for lying to him about his children. Do these women think they are dealing with Mr. Rogers here? This is EJ. EJ is going to put Nicole threw hell when he finds out she lied to him about his kid, just like he put them both Sami and Nicole threw the ringer when he found out about their lies the last time around.

Catching up on this week's SLs -- I am on Wednesday's episodes right now. I disagree about Rafe & Nicole. I like their sweet chem and think they work a lot better than Rafe/Carrie (even though watching Sami tear Carrie a new a**hole is worth the price of admission).

Kate being jealous of Marlena over Stefano and her closeness with Will is such fab story. I love that "Katie" and Marlena are interacting in story together. Kate is like my favourite anti-heroine heroine on soaps right now. And Marlena has seamlessly slipped into the fabric of the show again.

DC said that Will & Marlena are Days' unofficial #1 supercouple. They are right. Love DH and CM together.

I like Kate/Ian/Madison/Brady but the show needs to move this story along some.

Surprisingly also enjoying Melanie/Chad/Gabi.

I love Julie Pinson and wanted her to come back as Billie initially. But now that Lisa Rinna is here, I like her just fine as OriginalBillie and am happy with her staying. Pinson is the better actress but this is Rinna's lifetime role. I like her chem with almost everybody on the show. I also think Billie needs to get involved with Jack Devereux in some way.

Dr. McHairychest needs to go. For God's sake, Days, you've tried with this character but it ain't happening. Cut him lose from the show and undo the appalling Maggie-Daniel blood tie story. EJ should be Maggie's son instead -- just saying -- imagine Victor's wrath at finding out EJ is his stepson! Maggie can still be unofficial grandma to Melanie, their relationship is already cemented. And Melanie and EJ can hate each other, jealous that one has a place in Maggie's heart that the other may never have. Honestly, I'd even push for a Melanie-EJ affair further down the line. And Chad and EJ can go head-to-head, they have always had a great brotherly-hate vibe.

Also: Hapka and JKJ need to return. This bears repeating.

    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
