It was pretty dull but some parts caught my attention at times. I'm basically taking scraps at this point when I tune in. It wasn't awful but classic Griffith boring.

 

I like that we're seeing more characters interact again and the show feels a lot more smooth and together instead of all over the place. Characters aren't in bubbles anymore. At least Milstein and Griffith give us a lot of interactions and a more woven together canvas than Higley has (who, again, has no time for "feelings" which is why we get little cross-interaction when she writes) so I'm praying Quan can balance her. I want to like Griffith's DAYS because I get some little things out of that I know Higley will crap all over, but it's just been a very rough go.

What a rare treat Julie appeared in two episodes in a row. I liked Julie's scenes with Aiden. I like the Martin House set wish Days would show it more. The Deimos/Nicole/Kate stuff was awful. I liked Justin's and Victor's scenes. I'm sick off all of Aiden's flashbacks. We get it Andre replaced Aiden with a double. I was shocked that Days scraped some money together and gave Maggie a motorized wheelchair. Maggie's and Victor's scenes were great. I love that older characters like Victor and Maggie have a story. But does it have to be so damn depressing. About time that Shawn and Hope had scenes together. Eduardo and Rafe dull conversion about Hope made me sleepy. There was some great interaction between characters. But it was still a rather dull episode.

Enjoy the Julie sightings. I read she isn't on again until July :(. But we'll see. I don't know why it's so hard to use her regularly? I don't have any hope Higley uses Doug and Julie but maybe it's a producer/Corday thing that Julie and Doug are finally filling in for Tom and Alice.

 

It's been really nice seeing Julie involved in Hope's storyline finally, and her pulling the letter opener on Aiden was hilarious. I love Julie. I about fell over when Hope had scenes with Shawn. ABOUT TIME!

 

I just cringe seeing Maggie anymore. And Nicole. Nicole saying she can't breath sometimes because she misses Daniel. I can't. Thank you for making me hate one of my favorite characters ever. At least Eric sent her a letter. He gets more mentions and airtime than he did before he left.

 

And I have to lol at the virus story being off-screen and we get a few throw away lines that people are doing better and are slowly being released. Like, seriously? I'm not at all upset this isn't dominating for no reason but it's a complete and total non-story.

I don't know what the point of the virus story is. It came out of nowhere, we saw a bunch of Kayla and Fynn worrying and talking about the CDC, Mama Hernandez the insta-nurse with her holistic healing, and now people are magically better and being released... off screen.

 

The letter from Eric was nice, but I'm so over Nicole and Maggie still boo-hooing over Daniel.

So I'm over a week behind, but the "big virus" story literally just started. And it's all resolved off-camera a week later? I don't get it. Was there a last-minute writer switcheroo, or are they throwing spaghetti at the wall again?

So let me get this straight?

As a young girl on the farm Maggie is seduced/raped by Noah and gives the child up. Was she crippled at the time?

So that child has to be at least mid 40's.

In all that time,through adoption (Melissa) surrogate birthing(Sarah) and egg baby (Daniel) as well as Mickey's infertlity and being raped (Ian) and babies and long lost children turning up regularly with close family and friends, Maggie never once mentioned this???

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
