Have to agree. The only enjoyable scenes were with Xander and Leo — funny, sexy, campy. Xander hotness is off the hook.

 

The Sonny and Will scenes? Awful. No energy, no romance, no heat, no feeling.

 

The Chad scenes just seem like same old same old every day. RSW is strikingly fine, but characters need to stop rehashing his crimes and sins every day. It’s boring and it’s wrecking the character.

It would serve CM and FS right to have "Leander" take off and become DAYS' (token) gay pairing.  Never have I seen two "actors" sabotage their characters' relationship like Chandler and Freddie continue to do with theirs.  Guys, if you don't want to be on that effing show, or play those characters anymore, then just leave.

The square by the park is the LEAST private place in all of Salem. For some reason, everyone ends up at that tiny little bench.

 

Leo and Xander where the best part of today for me. I love how Xander just can never seem to find a shirt, and I can't blame Leo for at least trying.   Interested to see where the hell that's leading. Although, I think it makes Leo more complex if he really does have feelings for Sonny. Leo's the most fun of the whole show lately.

It seems like Brady and Eve still have feelings for each other. I wonder if they will end up making their way back to each other or if he will move on with Chloe. 

 

Also I think that Ciara is coming across as immature. This is the second time recently, she confronted a man she's in a relationship with about something but he ends up being the one that walks away. I definitely don't like Ben's past as a serial killer. But even with that, she still comes across as immature. Out of all the things she could be mad with Ben about she chooses to be mad because he "plotted" (which really mostly amounted to having a few conversations talking about breaking them up) with Claire to break her and Tripp up because he wanted to be with her. There is way worse stuff to be mad with Ben about.

 

IMO, Ciara  right now seems kind of directionless. Before she got this job at the pub, she wasn't doing much of anything besides living off of her trust fund and getting into petty fights with Claire. She doesn't really seem to have any ambition and she's not making the best decisions by dating Ben. Claire for all of her faults, at least has goals, and works towards them. And she seems more sure of herself when she's dating men as well. Theo breaks up with her, she tries to start something up with Tripp. I don't often agree with her tactics when it comes to doing stuff, but at least she tries to make stuff happen. 

 

And I thought that the scenes with DA Trask today was interesting. I wonder if she sent Haley to the hospital to help get somebody in trouble. I wonder what her connection to Haley is.

It's also nice that the show is continuing to expand its racial diversity. I hope that continues!

 

I do think Vanessa William's Valerie was a missed opportunity. The actress exuded charisma, and I really wanted to see her get her own story.

Killing off David Banning: another mistake that DAYS' current regime has made.  With Eli on canvas as their son, there might have been some good material to be had from a potential Abe/Valerie/David triangle.

My suggestion to beef up their African-American cast:  Bring back Vanessa Williams right when Abe & Sheila are starting to get closer. Meanwhile, bring back Thyme Lewis as Jonah Carver and bring on Lawrence St. Victor (currently wasting away recurring on B&B) as Benjamin, Jonah's adoptive son. Hell, even bring Yvonna Wright back as Wendy Reardon. Keep the drama in the family and have Valerie fall for Jonah. 

 

I know, I've been pushing a Jonah comeback for years. Won't happen, but if they must have ALL black characters be related to Abe, at least use existing ones from history. Plus, Benjamin would have no blood ties to anyone, so his romantic interest potential is bountiful... I mean shoot, he could be Will & Sonny's next interloper.

Really enjoyed the Deveraux family dinner today. The scene with all of them reminiscing about a theatre trip to a dinky theatre in Islington was great and I loved that it ended with jack and Jennifer quoting Shakespeare to each other 

 

Sarah and LG’s portrayal continue to be hugely annoying

Finally caught up in episodes

 

Gawd Will and Chub Sonny have zero chemistry. Sonny looked like his damn father in those scenes.......so hoping Sonny stays with Leo and put Will with another guy or Gabi.

 

End Will and Sonny!!

    • In regards to the Reva vs Erica discussions... I think there was one main difference between the two characters.... Erica never took over/ate up airtime on All My Children.  While she was a larger than life character, she never took over the show and there were times she was even supporting and not the lead.... while Reva basically suffocated Guiding Light in the later years with her presence.
    • That was such a missed opportunity, especially with May sweeps.  And, it would’ve been a much better story for Naomi/Jacob than whatever’s going on with June 
    • https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979 Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.
    • I forget his name but Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth had the EP on after they didn't understand the 60s flashback episode due to the lack of original music. He felt that was one of his strongest episodes so he came on to explain to them just how much the music changes hurt the series. Basically, they only allowed him to pick a selection of episodes he felt the music was vital and other than that they didn't bother to save the music.  They kept music for prom and things like the Color Me Badd episode and for most of the musical acts but any music you loved from the opening of the show or just music played in random scenes was cut.  I know there are also some scenes cut but I don't know too much about that. The most glaring one was Clare's final scene being cut which is obviously a huge problem for a character who'd been around for so long. Overall I was able to enjoy my rewatch using the DVDs but without all of the original music it isn't nearly as good a show.
    • Too many returns, that's when you know a show has run out of ideas and doesn't care anymore.  Zoe annoyed the sh!t out of me most times, but the Kat/Zoe storyline will always be iconic and close to my heart (that's the era I first started following the show in near real-time), and probably the only storyline in 21st century EastEnders that had long-term value for the characters involved during their initial run together. However, after all this time and the writing choice that Zoe never wants to see Kat again, I think that ship has sailed and I don't know that it makes sense to revisit it at this point. 
    • Former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan is reprising her role as Zoe Slater on the BBC soap following an absence of over 20 years.  It’s been reported that Zoe will return to Albert Square later this year and that she’ll take centre stage in a dramatic new storyline involving her family.  The news comes amidst news of other big returns, which include Max Branning (Jake Wood), Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who will also be back in Walford later in the year.
    • I actually love the new fashion.
    • Admittedly, I was a latecomer to ATWT (first becoming a regular viewer in 2000). But I really liked KMH's Emily. I thought she was a very specific kind of neurotic professional character, and I loved her prickly relationship with MM's Susan. I will say I don't think the show did her any favors after Hal died, stranding her in storylines with several of the show's dullest characters: nu-Paul, nu-Meg, and nu-Dusty. I actually quite liked one of her last major storylines, when she discovered she had a grown-up biological son with Larry named Hunter. But then Hunter just sort of disappeared, and the story fizzled out, which was pretty typical of the late Goutman years. 
    • I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.
    • Well, her staff pointing out the movie connection never seemed to stop Long from using those plots.  She was right about Vanessa--she needed a man who loved her, which she'd never really had up to then. But as others have pointed out, Long borrowed heavily from Taming of the Shrew to get it done. (which while I kinda disputed that, I get more now, having watched Kiss Me Kate a few times since.)
