Did anyone see the cover for this week's SOD cover about Alison Sweeney returning to DAYS? If anyone read this week's SOD issue, can you please divulge if AS is returning to DAYS back on contract, or for guest appearances for the show's 50th anniversary episodes?

This week's episodes were the best they've done in a long time overall. Still some head scratcher writer choices like having Paul come out to his family over an extended phone call. And Guy Wilson has to go; this is a vital character who could follow in Sami's footsteps with complex emotions but this actor is fairly awful, no way around it. His ticks and facial expressions when he arrived at the hospital and learned about Will, well that scene alone should get him canned, notwithstanding the fact that the writers are portraying him one day like a saint and the next day a sinner. It make no sense that he would have slept with Paul. They could have drawn many parallels to Sami's past behavior etc. Maggie and Victor finding Sonny was really poignant and Maggie stopping the bleeding. I was crying. Adrienne and Lucas work too and gave the story some gravitas. The Serena story is another one where the writers don't seem to know how to construct a compelling ACT ONE. We don't care about her quest or secret and she doesn't have all that much chemistry with Eric. He was better as the boy toy priest for Kristin. And his hair dooo has to be cut back in a dramatic fashion. Girlfriend have too much froth going on but keep that shirt open honey; it makes your scenes bearable. The Elephant statue reminds me of the Red Swan plot on AW. Tomlin directed AW at that time and liked the story i guess.

Sonny acted this week too; loved his confrontation with Victor; he showed out in that scene.

Maxine needs some Abe love though; she workin' too hard finding blood and all. I loved that she called Paul. Right on girl. You violate every hospital protocol to save them Gays!

Janet Iacubuzio actually turned in two compelling scripts Wed/Thurs.

I loved the split screen montage at the end of Thurs, very 90s and fun. l

I liked Chandler in the role. I miss him in the role. I miss looking at him everyday. I liked his Will (for the most part). But he chose to leave. He phoned it in for a very long time. He checked out and was done. He's moved on. He wasn't fired for Guy Wilson.

Just saying ;)

That being said, Guy Wilson has had this role for a year and he's made no improvements. DAYS, cut your losses please. I tried to defend him. I tried to give him time. But just, no. He's not a good actor.

    • Today was painful (especially for Philip).  I still feel for Xander. He was clear he was happy sharing and working with Philip. It's just one more betrayal from someone he loved. Going back to last year when he found out about Victor and Fiona, then Alex and Philip. He forgave and tried. Then Philip went behind his back again. He's been walking on the edge for weeks. This is a man who was abused, neglected and has never had any therapy for his horrific past. He has zero coping skills because he's never learned them. I hate this but I refuse to hate Xander
    • Lucy Coe wasn't even this big of a whore. 
    • Kate being the one that Alex called was a nice surprise. The cut to her looking all sheek made me instantly get excited for her to get back into business mode. And the Jack reference from when she first came to town (on-screen) was inserted naturally which is always welcome. When they were talking about how much sex sells, I almost got the impression they were sizing each other up in a May/December type of way.  All the Philip stuff was gruesome. I'm happy the show isn't shying away from Xander's ugliness. I love them both, and it just makes me intrigued for the aftermath for it all to be taken seriously. I cheered when Philip spat out at that Sarah knew the truth. I'm on tenterhooks for their eventual confrontation. I was surprised that Kate wasn't a little vicious towards Sarah for Xander's obvious behavior, but maybe that's still to come. How wonderfully entangled is it that both Philip and Shawn/Steve stopped each other from getting the drug. Both equally at fault. Who/what will ultimately save Bo? And with everything going on, is a Salem where it's looking likely that EJ is about to own the hospital imminent?  
    • Oddly.. Chase and Steve seem to have both vanished from the canvas in December so the Estelle return loses impact when two of her kids stop appearing shortly after her return (and I assume TR leaves in early 1986 as well). The Steve recast doesn't work... but it's odd that he has a long scene with Teri with Cagney looking jealous.. when the majority of his time on the show previously was a relationship and engagement to Stephanie (who he barely has a scene with in the episodes I see). Your idea for Wendy/Bela/Stephanie sounds just like what Ryan's Hope did with Michael/Kim/Rae... and considering Louise Shaffer was playing Rae and Stephanie.. it would have been a lousy redux of a superior story on another soap (that had months of build-up) I think Quinn becoming assistant to Stephanie was Mayer/Braxton... but not 100 % sure. I don't know if Mayer/Braxton was setting up Sarah as a bad girl disguised as a good girl.. but the actress (Joyner) was playing the scenes in that manner.. and Tomlin wisely tapped into that when he took over.  
    • She’s such a caricature - which is a shame because I think the actress is capable of so much more.   I don’t know why Cady often feels like she has overcompensated in her performances. She already proved she can play much more than just Dixie Cooley during her first stint at ATWT (her best acting era). Her performances in various roles since then have been quite strange at times.
    • It feels like the show suddenly woke up today and remembered it was Sweeps month. Lots of action and forward momentum, including a delicious Nina/Carly fight.

    • Where did I say that you weren't allowed to say anything? Personally I just find "disgusted" a very strong word, and not something I would use for such a trivial matter as a song contest. You obviously do, and that's your prerogative, just as it is mine to disagree.

    • Vanessa is such a bad bad cliche.
