Today's show wasn't the most exciting but I liked a lot of it.

 

I'm glad they addressed Kayla not being at Beige's funeral. I really like seeing her point of view as a character again and how torn she is on this cure for Caroline. I liked that Roman was involved because he should be.

 

Also liked the Maggie/Hope scenes. Finally Maggie is back interacting with who she should be interacting with and being the Maggie I like. Liked Maggie talking about Hope as a child (considering Hope was born on-screen ...).

 

Other than that, I sort of liked the Bo/Steve stuff but it's moving way too slow for me. The interest for me just isn't there. I want it to be. But it isn't.

 

I fast-forwarded through Brady/Theresa, Justin/Eve/Eduardo/Rafe (and then Rafe/Hope). Zzzzz. No thanks.

 

Griffith's slowness really fits DAYS, IMHO. I just really like the feel and tone of the show. It feels like DAYS again. I know I said it before but I just can't get over it, and then I realize just how bad it got and how easily it can get so bad. Not saying we're seeing outstanding stuff here, but it's watchable, the dialogue remains great, and they're (mostly) focusing on who they should be focusing on. I'm not liking a few things, that I'll get into after certain things happen this week (as well as other minor nitpicks) but it's lightyears better.

I know people keep saying Maggie and others were OOC.   can you please give me an idea on how?  Any scenes you can post of those characters?

Maggie turned into a "pod", propping St.Daniel, her insta son, and not being written as the go=to, advice giving, loving character.  She became a busybody forcing the "Daniel is our savior " agenda the former writers had.

 

I love that she is back to her "real" character, a matriarch with a nurturing soul.  She has been the backbone of the on screen Hortons(though she's a Horton by  marriage) for many years.  

 

Julie's re-introduction(I know she's been in and out) as a member of Salem's in town denizens has also been a joy to watch. I like her on screen, not on cruises...LOL

A. Martinez looks nice, but his faux hawk or whatever hairstyle that looks crooked. One side has more hair than the other, lol.

I agree that the writing for the veterans is a lot better. It's always great when the characters who have been around for decades actually have something to do.

rolling my eyes at Gabi just randomly popping up at the pier in the second half of the episode. I really hope they arent putting her with JJ. Ewwww

That would be a fun idea if they were still schemers.

I admit that I was expecting more after yesterday's action episode. But it was filler. Great filler, but filler. And I loved that Chad/Andre/Stefano scene at the end. Reminded me of Reilly's DAYS when you watch a schemer at work with naysayer partners (think Vivian/Ivan/Celeste or Kristen/Viv back then).

Ugh at Ben being verbally abusive to Abby.

 

The show has been really enjoyable to watch lately. I'm just finishing last Friday's episode, KDP is slaying every moment and she has been for weeks. She should definitely get an Emmy for these performances.

 

A. Martinez has yet to show a single iota of believable emotion as a grieving father. I'm not liking him in this role.

I think he's fine. People handle grief in different ways and Eduardo hasnt been around for a decade. He long since removed himself from his family and obviously isnt an expressive person. Eve doesnt need that anyway. We havent seen him alone and most of his scenes in relation to Paige's death has been with Eve or Rafe. Rafe doesnt want to hear it and neither does Eve, whom herself needs strong people around her. Besides, Paige's death was only a vehicle to get him on the show. His main role will be as the Hernandez patriarch, not father to some failed character who will be irrelevant and forgotten in a couple of months. So far he's doing alright with Rafe and they still havent tapped the surface with Gabi

 

Its too bad they never tested Teresa with Chad as I think they would have been great although I can see how some might see them as a rehash of EJ and Sami. She needs a bad boy that wont judge her and Brady most definitely is not that person. Especially since she's a gold digger, it would have made sense for her to try and get her hands on the Dimera fortune and being a Brady, that itself opens itself up for story potential. I cant see it now since the show is trying to solidify Abby and Chad as a power couple

 

BTW, why is everyone accepting that Ben is the father? No DNA test was taken right? I recall it being said that it was too early but not sure if it was pursued or not.

They did a DNA test and it came back saying Ben was the father. Though the audience saw Clyde tamper with the results

Today's show was pretty good.

 

I enjoyed JJ setting Clyde up to get arrested by Roman. THIS Clyde is who I could have gotten behind. James Read was fantastic.

 

Welp, Caroline's fine and dandy. LOL. I can't. But this is DAYS sooo ... I'll go with it. I enjoyed the flashbacks.

 

Mary Beth Evans is sooo good. I'm glad she's been given the chance to shine again and is somewhat the leading heroine of the show. IMO. I love Hope and all but give me Kayla anytime. Stephen Nichols was great as well as Steve watched the security footage of Bo's torture.

 

Loooved Bo fighting to escape. Great stuff. Reckell was fantastic.

 

So ready for Aiden to go. I don't want Hope/Rafe either, but I'm over Aiden and how they've made him a pathetic loser. I'm just over it and ready to move on.

 

Really great seeing the actors get the material they deserve and then rise above and beyond to deliver a fantastic performance.

Mmmmmm....Bo had a hot little Wolverine thing going on today. Yum.

Oh so over Clyde. So I am glad Roman showed up to arrest him. Hopefully, they got enough on that recording. Would be interesting to see how Ben is without Daddy Paw to back him up.

Love the Victor/Caroline flashbacks. Love all this Kayla focus.

 

ETA: Cheap, you never know they might still go there with Abby/Chad/Theresa. Got keep that frenemy vibe going on. And the writers could squeeze in a Chad/Theresa connection before the inevitable Ben death/Abby doubting of Chad beat of the story.

Damn, Will's final monologue/voicemail to Sonny was pretty decent. Guy Wilson definitely isn't anyone to write home about but that was pretty sad.

 

Is this the end for Clyde Weston or is he coming back? I know they let the actor go.

 

Billy Flynn and Kate Mansi are magic together.

 

The actor who plays JJ continues to be consistently dreadful.

Not sad if you've been watching. Will is pathetic and doesnt deserve Sonny. Its all stuff he's said before and its why he cant be trusted and in the position he is in. On a side note, his voice sounds like sh-t

 

I really hope this is the end of Clyde. The hillbilly needs to go

They at least need to have it come out that Clyde was responsible for EJ's death before dumping him.

DOOL SPOILER: Will's Death!!! #Dool #Days #Wilson

---

Ok so Will is murdered by Ben today after finding A neck tie that Will found in the trash. Will is strangled but not before asking for mercy then ben transports Will's body back to his apartment where Gabi later finds him. Then Ben goes home to find Abi & they have sex.

Ok what the hell did I just watch. I felt like I was watching Another World when Fax Newman strangled the life out of Frankie as she begged for her life for her child. 

I dont get killing Will. He was born on screen 20 years ago and has driven story since his birth. He is tied to two major families and I dont see long term fall out. I see it being done in a week or two since Ali Sweeney & Freddie Smith are only back a week or two max. 

Yes ok There will be lots of grief and yes great acting from all of Will's family bit Why do this murder mystery for a show celebrating 50 years on the air. Nothing says celebration like a serial killer, NOT!!! Who wants to watch major families cry over the death of loved ones (Yes, more are coming) as a pre-cursor to a major anniversary???

There are also some Fractions that say Days is doing this to wash away the Gay story & part of me agrees. Will was front burner til the new writers then both Him & Paul became second thoughts. My only hope, is that Days invests in Paul & we see some romantic pairings there, but Im also afraid that Paul will exit soon (not confirmed)

And there are some that Say Will was killed because Guy wasnt too popular. Lets be honest that falls at the feet of DOOL. They announced that Guy was taking over as Will way before Chandler last aired and to be further honest, some fans can be crazy & wouldnt have liked whoever they picked as Chandler's replacement.

I commend Guy for all the work he did as Will & I loved sneaky Will. There was so much more for him to do & I am sad the character is now dead. However, never say never and I wouldnt be shocked if Will returns alive one day but that still doesnt mean what happened on TV today wasnt a major blow and a major mistake by the powers that be at Days.

Thats all for now.

Who wrote that article? Guy was horrid….why commend him??

Damn, Will's final monologue/voicemail to Sonny was pretty decent. Guy Wilson definitely isn't anyone to write home about but that was pretty sad.

 

 

Its sad that his next to last monologue was his best acting his entire run. I am curious how his last scenes today will go. I am crushed they are killing off Will. He had so much potential with the right actor.
