A few pre-Memorial Day thoughts on the week!

1) The Rose twins have done great. Allie has always been the backburned child and I am glad Allie is getting her 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight.

2) I know this is a soap opera.. but I really wish Nicole and Eric would have waited until marriage to have sex. After all that Eric has been though with his faith and how many times he has said how important it is to him to wait until marriage to have sex I really wish they would have had them wait until their wedding night (if that ever comes) - it could have been a beautiful romantic moment with great montages, etc.

3) John needs to be given something to do.. I'm not a John hater - I definitely think he works best as a supporting actor at this point.. but he needs to stop snooping around in other people's business and start apologizing to Marlena.

4) LOVE seeing Lucas this much.

5) You guys know I'm counting down the days until an Abe/Maxine wedding!

6) Rob Wilson's one episode has already proven that this is a successful recast. He is handsome, sexy, AND a better actor!

7) I'm so glad the show remembered Arianna Grace's birthday. It was great to see all the family gather together at the apartment for the event :)

8) Great scenes between EJ/Abby. I want a HUGE reveal for this!

9) The only real downside to the show right now is seeing Daniel on our screen EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Danifer are killing this show. They are even brining down Eric/Nicole. I don't even want to see Abe/Maxine in the same orbit as Danifer, because I don't want to start resenting them too!

10) Speaking of Daniel... it is wayyy to early to be able to tell this, but I am going to be so disappointed if Shawn Christian were to lead the episode count for 2014. It's a very real possibility, especially if he continues airing this much! As of the end of April, James Scott is leading - but with his exit, he will not lead the year. Neither will Ali Sweeney. The other contenders are Ari Zucker, Greg Vaughan and Kate Mansi.. maybe Missy Reeves if her episode guarantee gets bumped up in the 2nd half of the year.... I really really do not want SC leading this show in ANY way!

Last thing- the show is pre-empted Monday for a scheduled pre-emption (so none of us miss an episode) for the French Open. I was actually surprised - my local affiliate ran 5 or 6 announcements for it across the bottom of the screen during today's broadcast. Happy Memorial Day everyone! Travel safe!

I wasn't watching closely enough -- what reason did Eric give for abandoning what he had previously claimed to be a deeply held belief against premarital sex?

If the the show is going to use John, they have to use him a lot more effectively than they have been. His interaction with Marlena this week was very bizarre given how he's treated her for the past year or so. He's been sour with her since Kristen first arrived back in town, then this week he was suddenly jovial and happy to see her. I liked that she gave him the brushoff, but I wish she would have said something like, "You've treated me like a bug on the bottom of your shoe for the past year, why are you greeting with me with a happy hello now?"

Honestly, I was only half-way paying attention as well. (Heavy Danifer weeks tend to do that to me) but I don't think an explanation was even given.... Lazy writing possibly :/

And I totally agree about John. They are not using him effectively at all. There is no logical rhyme or reason as to him just "popping up" from time to time to be a jack*ss and then disappear. He needs to have a purpose... either he is apologetic and wants the love of his life back, or he doesn't.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I was almost proud of Abby at the beginning there! I say almost because it's a tad hypocritical after all the ranting she did about Nick before. And she's still so damn naïve. Yet I actually kind of enjoyed her when she went off on EJ at the beginning ONLY because she showed a backbone for once. Of course it didn't last. what a twit. Just like her parents. She is so Jack and Jennifer's daughter. Not a good thing. She can't defend herself against a Dimera for many reasons.

I don't care about Sonny and Will. They're just like GH's Felix, UGHHH!!!!

I don't care if Nicole set up Daniel. And it makes me so sick that she feels so bad about setting him up. I so want Eric to give Daniel a good roundhousing. And it cracks me up how desperate Nicole is! "This just might work. All I have to do is convince Daniel that I told Eric the truth. I can't lose Eric." Lol... She really is slow. But she's fun to watch.

"Here we go." Yep, that's Sami and Kate. I wonder if they'll somehow end on a high note though. You never know!

I like Hope a lot more when we don't have to watch her personal life. Seeing her as the cop on the case is so much better than that!

Gabi is so naïve and Camila Banus makes it worse. I don't know whose a bigger twit, Abby or Gabi?

    • https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/19/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-take-control-gaza-uk-france-canada-threaten-action    Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will “take control” of all Gaza, as three key allies attacked his “egregious” escalation of the military campaign and blockade on humanitarian aid. Britain, France and Canada attacked Israel’s expansion of its war as disproportionate, described conditions in Gaza as “intolerable” and threatened a “concrete” response if Israel’s campaign continues. finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel’s army would “wipe out” what remains of Palestinian Gaza.  “Now we conquer, cleanse and stay" ---------------------------- My thoughts: This is genocide, ethnic cleansing.  It's just evil and there's no excuse for it.  I'm glad Canada, France, and UK are making a statement, and I hope they back it up. There are some Israeli citizens who don't support what Netanyahu is doing, and I hope they are able to enact some positive change from within.
    • -- I'm not unhappy that Nina and Carly had a bad fight including slapping and tackling and falling down. But geez, all that insane SCREAMING was over the top. It was three minutes of shrieking, and I thought it was all too much. -- And ANOTHER day of Dante ripping Gio and Gio again discussing his sins and failures. Make it end already. -- In the previews, Gio is walking the Nurses Ball red carpet with Joss. Uh...why??? I don't know why Joss is there at all. Doesn't she have some secret agent stuff to do? -- Chase is at the end of the previews, yelling into the phone "You want me to do WHAT???"  My guess is that's another fakeout that there's something important going on, and that Chase got a call to perform at the Nurses Ball. This show....
    • Watching...   For the most part, today's show is boring and trending on fast-forwarding scenes.
    • I figured that they would take Kat in this direction with men for the time being. I like those small bits of history from Tomas, but I still have not warmed up to him yet. A Pamela/Vanessa feud could be worth the watch.

    • Part of me wishes Sarah Whiting had been exposed as a fraud, someone who claims to be Len and Patti's foster child, but whom Patti exposes right off the bat when she arrives in Henderson.
    • I agree, and I think both could be true: Jane Wyman needed to reduce her work schedule due to health concerns, and CBS/Lorimar took advantage of that in order to cut costs, too.
    • It's quite confusing what she's doing with her character. I'm not from the DMV, but what is that accent? Is she pulling a Dorit? Also, why are Dani and Pamela acting like they're broke. They don't have any money aside to start up a business? With their background in the modeling world, why would they even need a physical studio? They have connections (and Dani wasn't afraid to mention it when she was tasked to replace Chelsea in the fashion show when Chels pulled out). They can literally use Dani's small catwalk in her house to test potential models. They can easily scout online using social media. It's 2025! Dani is supposedly a recognized model from her day, then have her act like it. I know some people are saying it's a stretch, but in the 90s there were plenty of models that graced covers and runways with the likes of Naomi and Christie that were never as big, but they still rubbed elbows had successful careers. Dani could easily fall into that category. Also, it's not like a lot of the big name 80s and 90s models didn't go on to live very typical lives after their moment faded...why couldn't Dani be that. 
    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station.
