I could really use a nice long break from Hope.

How many women, past and present, could come to Daniel's funeral to weep about their one-time love and throw themselves at the coffin? Let's do a three-generation sob fest with Kate, Billie, and Chelsea.  Did Julie Pinson's Billie ever do anything with him? Can't remember. 

No, she was on her way out as he arrived. I remember finding it bizarre that they'd finally cast someone who could be a primary love interest for Billie and then wrote her out and gave him to her daughter instead.

 

They almost went there with Daniel and Lisa Rinna's Billie in 2012. They had them flirting by kickboxing in the lobby of Quinn's spa.

Another day, another round of AWFUL acting from the Ciara actress. I'm literally amazed on a daily basis that she got this job, I can only imagine how awful the girls who didn't get the role must have been.

Maybe she's another daughter of Ken Corday...?  

DOOL is extremely boring today with tons of commercials. New Phillip and Bitchy Belle. Hope and Rafe Ciara coming out of nowhere having a panic attack The character of Ava didn't take off during her first run why bring her back? The only bright spot was Chad and Abby who have great chemistry. Rafe finding out about saint Daniel

Are they trying to downplay the fact that Hope is Claire's grandmother?

 

Claire referred to her with Ciara as "your mom."  Any grandchild would refer to her as "Grandma," even in reference to her aunt's mother. 

 

Its just awkward. 

 

Loved Belle saying today that "Eric and Brady are fine."  Whew!  That was fast!  Apparently, John and Doc can't leave the hospital to shower, change clothes or eat. Thank God Belle has nothing to do but run their errands. 

 

I can't imagine Daniel's funeral without Melanie. Maybe she'll ate d offscreen?

Not to me. Whats awkward is Hope having a grandchild that old. With that said Claire referred to her as Grandma Hope last week so it is being acknowledegd

 

It was weird seeing Belle with Eric bc I dont think Ive ever seen them interact ever before. I forgot that was even her brother

 

I almost laughed at Rafe finding out Daniel died from his iPad. The show really should have used him at the scene of the accident. Too bad they have a low budget bc the accident should have been an episode or 2 with the cops coming to the scene and trying to save the victims

 

As for Daniel's funeral

Melanie is returning. So is Chloe

 

As usual the pacing was an absolute mess on today's show. Something has to give bc whoever is breaking these episodes down as well as teh editing is absolute sh-t

Was it a new day midway in the episode? Or still late at night?

its the same day, just pushed to morning

Hey. At least Marlena has finally let the "G" word be uttered since her 2011 return. Which is good since she's gotta add another "G" to that title for Ariana Grace. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA at that spoiler.

 

I thought the week has started off strong. But by yesterday...other than Nicole mentioning her babies...I'm over it.  I guess I feel it too rushed while last week had a good flow to it.

 

 

Like sand through the hour glass, so our the days of our deaths. It's too much. I really feel nothing and it's not just because I wasn't a Daniel fan. This show is just one rushed death after the next.

Ciara flying down the stairs and out the front door was the second best comedy of the week, behind John's proposal for Brady. 

I forgot to mention but why was Belle spilling the tea to Phillip? That made no sense. What a lame way to get him in a position to get his hands on the Dimera money. As cliche as this may have been, it would have been better for him to overhear her speaking to Chad, come to his own conclusions and confronted her about it.

DAYS has apparently adopted B&B's quick, frenetic pace of storytelling. On one hand, it's better than the sleeper mode the've been in for the past 4-5 years, but on the other hand, there's so much missed opportunities and a lack of reflection and chance to really absorb what's happening. Even the epic failure of the SSK of 2003-2004 had constant mentions of those who died. Now, you would barely even know that legacy child Will Horton had been strangled to death a couple months before Christmas. 

 

One randon note:  In the past couple weeks, they've added a cute "slice of life" element to the show by showing three different instances of characters camped out on their sofas watching TV. There was John/Marlena, Theresa/Brady, and Steve/Kayla. Normally, you'd think nobody in Salem owned a television set.
