The Lucy vignette that opened the episode about writing her book over the last year was actually surprisingly charming. It did make it seem like she's been offscreen for a year, though.

 I have a copy of the book! Haven't read it yet.

 

The Gail tribute was nice. It's too bad they didn't feature more characters but it's not like too many characters that are left were even connected to her. I do know her will is going to have storyline impact, though.

 

The new guy Hank/Shiloh can act! That's so refreshing for a newbie. I'm genuinely intrigued by the cult story. Don't let me down, GH! (Who am I kidding.)

 

Lastly, the vet who plays Chet is still a bit wooden but wow is he a million times better a fit for Maxie than Parking Lot Peter! My god, it's like night and day when there's actual chemistry afoot. I hope they brought him back to give these two a chance and not just make him collateral damage for the grocery store hire!

I tuned in for the Gail tribute.

Interesting they showed Kin/Scott in a flashback but only the back of Monica/Leslie. Was the contrast b/w then and now too startling?

Kin is starting to look like Mickey Rooney....

Nice if Laura had have been included as she was involved with Gail back in the day. And Bobbie also.

The election stuff is SO bad. They play the cliches for a couple days. Leave it, then return to it a month later. UGH.

 

Nate’s cabinet is all male and all white because he trusts them? Huh? Yeah, I know we have Trump, but is the rest of the world so obtuse? 

 

And all all these election scenes are in Julian’s bar???

Tbh I forgot there even was an election storyline.

 

Don't you guys love how they write Nina as the most loathsome bitch ever, and then we're still expected to love her? Why the f-ck is she going after Liz? And just being a bitch to everyone in general? Nina's the one in the wrong and she's a sad excuse for a step mother. She needs to be Ryan's next victim.

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
