I don't think Days has the Emmy stigma it once had. Not with the genre down to four mainstream soaps.

Marlena vs Kristen was fire yesterday and when Eric showed up by the lake where Kristen was waiting for Brady, I literally squeeeed. Another confrontation I've been dying to see!

Nicole: Covering for JJ makes you seem like a sleaze.

No. Daniel makes Daniel look like a sleaze. JJ's got nothing to do with it! But the Dicole scenes weren't completely horrible yesterday. I wish Daniel would hang out with someone else though, like an assassin!

Y'all didn't tell me Mumbles was on yesterday! Bleh!

Love Sonny with Ari, and love T! wub.png

Nicole, you wimp. I thought she was going to whoop Kristen when she grabbed her "scrawny flesh", then Kristen shoves her ass and she does the slow slide down the wall.

Every time I look at Kristen in that cape I think of the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and Elaine see George's father talking to a man in a cape (Larry David). "Is it even cape weather?"

It just dawned on me... Maggie's been on the show for years but I remember SC from ATWT. Who used to play Daniel or was SC an insta-adult child?

Shawn Christian is Daniel's sole portrayer. It was revealed during MarDar's reign in 2011/2012 that Daniel was conceived through artifiicial insemination because his mother (whom we've never met) could not have children. It was ret-conned that in the past Maggie had donated some of her eggs at one point and Victor knew all about Maggie being Daniel's biological mother.

The ending was so silly - the way Nicole repeatedly kept rear-ending Kristen and the impact was like...

It spoiled what was an otherwise amazing episode. Eric/Kristen was amazing - I loved how she tried to b.s. him and he said he wasn't as stupid as Brady lol.

Brady absolving Victor, but not Marlena handwavery to justify at best, but it sets up tension for Doc and the fart whisperer when he returns.

Maggie crying was painful.

Mary Beth Evans is criminally underused on this show (and no, I don't want to see Stephen Nichols ever again).

Kristen running around Salem in that cape was amazing. Her confrontation with Eric was excellent: she kept her lies in order while Eric crumbled in front of her. And then Nicole comes out swinging and rams Kristen's car with her own? Awesome.

I liked the Maggie/Daniel scenes. He doesn't bother me, I can't explain it.

And a Johnny sighting! Coolest kid in daytime.

Today was a bit of a let-down between Kristen & Eric and Kristen & Nicole. With Eric, something was just missing. Hardly enough outrage by Eric - it just felt off. With Nicole, it was way too short. After all the great scenes these two had during the past year, I expected a bit more. On the plus side, it was VERY Nicole to chase Kristen's car and then start ramming it! THAT was believable to me. :)

I agree it is realistic for Nicole to do that, it was the execution that fell flat for me - whenever she rammed Kristen, it was like bumper cars. Unless they were going at 10 miles an hour, ramming someone doesn't just make a noise and a shudder - You loose control of the vehicle! Took about 5 attempts from Nicole to get that effect!

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
