I’m getting caught up now and it’s so hard for me to see Kyle Lowder, who by the way looks great to me, playing Rex. He was Brady when I started watching Days and I actually liked the previous Rex so it just feels so odd. Especially with them playing him as Eric’s brother so heavy handedly. By the time Rex was revealed to be a Brady, he barely interacted with the family in that capacity before he left the show.

 

Really enjoyed the Devereaux family dinner. Billy Flynn and Kate Mansi still have great chemistry.

 

I really enjoy DA Trask. She’s such an unrepentant bitch, but she’s totally right about Hope and the police force.

Never liked The Gemini Twins. Even by Days standards their origins were too silly. I don't remember original  recipe  Eric Winter/Rex very well.  But this New Rex might as well be a different person. I liked KL as Brady. As Rex his awful. Here's a clip with Rex & Mimi. Makes me sad seeing the beautiful Tuscany set filled with tons of extra's. If this was modern era Days they would be at an empty HTS.

I saw him last year in a Hallmark Christmas movie with Jodie Sweeten (a.k.a. "Stephanie Tanner," on "Full House.").  He wasn't bad.  But, then again, the bar's pretty low when it comes to Hallmark movies.

Am I the only one that's disappointed that Xander and Leo didn't do the deed? I'm not surprised by the twist, but I think it would have been interesting to see Xander go that far to get Leo's secrets. Plus...I could totally see Xander going both ways and being nonchalant about the whole thing.

      ok maybe I am obsessed with @melodythomassco ) I looooove my job! Thank you cast of @youngandrestlesscbs for allowing me to be me!! @melodythomassco @eileendavidsonofficial @hayleyerin13 @mel_ordway @missyclaireegan @swaltersashby @christianjleblanc @ericbraedengudegast @peterbergmanyr @michael.mealor @ameliamheinle @jeddiepeck @jairodriguez          
    • Just so you know I said it... @Antoyne ASHHHHHHHHLEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Yes, the Liz and Lucky scenes were horrible. Kristina better be sent to prison.   I'm already getting tired of BLQ continuing to blame Lois for her mistakes. Yes, let's move this along.
    • Oh I agree that they erred in not showing her bonding more with her family and not having this examined more closely. I think if I cared about Lucky or Laura I'd be more agitated. I think the material they have given her (aside from chasing after Charlotte, which was hurt by not focusing more on Rocco's response and just by Charlotte never having a reason to exist) has been OK but certainly not what it could have been.
    • I have never been much of a Lulu fan either since the JMB days.  I do think Alexa Havins is really a great recast.  When Lulu returned it was at the expense of Sam (no loss to me) but not the best for audience favor, she was barely on screen for weeks after she woke up, then went to run off and put everyone in danger to find Charlotte at the expense of her other child, and finally moved on to this Brook/Dante baby investigation.  Lulu never had a chance to grieve the years she lost, re-bond with her family or her friends, re-integrate herself back into town, or be anything more than a chaos creator. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn is this poor, innocent victim that's being bullied by Lulu.  I don't think Lulu is right.  I would just like a little more subtlety in the writing. 
    • Just beautifully done. I could name some minor quibbles, but I won't, because what DAYS gave us today was golden. That was soap opera at its finest, paying homage to history and legacy and actors and the audience. This is why we love soaps.
    • To clarify, we could argue about the necessity to have John Black speak while in hospital, but the body created an opportunity for people to touch him, and move around him.  Even though I never totally suspended my disbelief, I appreciated their creative choice to form a visual representation of loss.  Certainly there were other ways to tell this story, but it will stay with me because those production choices enabled these performances. However, with disdain, I note that Days has found an odd middle ground between a flashback and a montage.  I define a flashback as least a couple of rounds of dialogue, if not a whole scene.  And a montage would be a visual snippet without much dialogue.  But, these were often just a single line, or an entrance.  It felt like a bit of a tease, and made me wish that Peacock had curated a playlist of John Black's Greatest Hits, like they do for some Bravo shows or SNL characters.  OT - but they have yet to maximize that platform.
    • It's tough for me because I feel like this has always been Lulu. She used to be even worse, slut-shaming, verbally abusing other women, and always being written as being in the right. They should let Brook Lynn get dirtier, but I think the material of Lulu digging and being self-righteous, making everything worse even while not intending to do so, but also not being as in the wrong as Dante thinks she is, all makes sense for her. But I don't have as much experience with Lulu as a lot of fans as I just could never stomach her beyond the time she was a mute kid, so I don't have much right to speak.
    • Thanks @JAS0N47 for all the ratings!   All My Children hits Number 1 in the ratings for the first time in its history during the week of 8/20/73-8/20/73!
