The Sarah thing is the kind of [!@#$%^&*] Ron always does with new characters now - he grafts them into a story and often makes them a fierce advocate of some point or another, even when it's way too soon and irrational for them to be involved, by virtue of wanting them to push them and someone else together. Sarah getting involved with the family life of a man she doesn't know, lecturing Maggie, etc. is the kind of awkward interpersonal push he's done a lot with characters over the years.

 

I like LG and the idea of using the character but it's just so clumsy and mangled.

Did DAYS miss a big opportunity to celebrate Susan Seaforth Hayes' 50th anniversary on the show?  After Julie's fall down the staircase, as she laid unconscious in the hospital, the show could have had  each of her loved ones by her bedside remembering their past times with Julie in flashbacks.   This should have been the way they celebrated her 50th Anniversary.

The thing about Sarah Horton is that there is loads of story potential with the character if Ron and other writers would bother to actually study the history.  Her conception story was interesting/ahead of its time with Maggie getting artificially inseminated with what she believed was a character by the name of Evan's sperm and the complication of that which caused Mickey/Maggie to break up.  Than finding out that Neil Curtis was the father of Sarah.. and Sarah uncovering Neil/Maggie having an affair causing Sarah a lot of angst and eventually leaving with Melissa to start over.  So there was all that back story, plus the fact that Maggie has always fawned over Melissa and later her recently discovered son Daniel with Sarah coming in third yet again.  I'd rather the show explored the complicated relationship between Maggie/Sarah over all of these issues than some plot driven story of fighting over the custody of Holly.

I liked today's episode. Especially the scenes featuring Abigail. I liked how she dealt with Stefan, her expressing her reaction to seeing Ben again. (She really did seem fearful/disgusted that he was working and living with Stefan). I also liked her scenes with Jen and her family at the Horton Christmas party. I can understand why she was hurt that her mother and the rest of her family didn't believe she was sane. I also liked how Hope comforted Jen after Abby was heated with her. I enjoy seeing Jen and Hope together supporting and comforting each other.

 

And I thought that the Horton family hanging the ornaments during the show was nice. It was a sweet moment when Hope gave Lani the ornament for her and Eli's baby, David.

 

And I found it interesting that Gabi told Chad she was moving out of the mansion, because Ari was confused about Leo/Sonny's marriage. Even though Chad accepted her invite to move into her mother's house, I definitely don't think that he will living with her for long. If he even gets a chance to move in with her before the truth comes out about how she hurt Abigail and him.

Those were good scenes. Abigail really was hurt when she found out that Jen still didn't believe her after she got divorced from Stefan. I can understand why Abigail felt like no one (outside of Julie) was really on her side. I do like that even though she's mad at her mom and family, she still went home to be with them. I'm guessing she and the baby will probably stay at the Horton family home for the time being.

 

I am looking forward to seeing what happens once Abigail finds out that Gabi kept Charlotte's parternity a secret. I believe that Julie will get her memory back and reveal the truth. (Gabi burned the paternity test results today, so that Chad wouldn't see them, but I do believe Julie will remember what happened.)

Yes, there is and Y&R and B&B are having new episodes today too. GH is pre-empted today.

Her alter acting as Gabi is bad....real bad......but her scenes with her family yesterday were good.

Christmas Eve was very nice.  It isn't just a tradition for the Horton family, it's a tradition for the fans I found I really needed this year.  Hope thanking "Gran" for Ciara and Claire reconciling and everything Abby were the best parts for me... and I cried when Hope hugged Jenn

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

      Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.

      Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

      The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

      That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
