Back from the dead with Rolf’s serum has been way too overdone, and for DAYS, that’s saying something 

Brian Kinney had a name for gay guys like Will and Sonny lol I would say what it is, but it’s very mean and offensive 

They’re one of my favorite rivalries too

I tuned in a for a couple eps for the first time in a few years to see Sami, Vivian, & Ivan again and was pleased with what I saw at least not was I offended. 
 

I see Days is still heavy on music used from 2002 though

  Agreed I love the Jake Lambert character, and hopefully he'll stay the same, not end up being just like Stefan.   Good Karma for the witch Gabi, that her true love is truly dead!!! Yeah the Rolf serum is waay overdone. 

    I wish they would've had it at St. Luke's, but it was enjoyable. I was saying the same thing about Holly, can't wait to get rid of the Jonas last name.  I hope Parker ends up being Phillip's so he can lose the name too, when he eventually returns SORAS'd, which I predict will happen sometime around Chloe's return. 

   This scene was awesome.  Nicole went too far, and deserved the slam into the cake and table imho.   Like seeing Sami & Nicole's rivalry heat up again, thought it would when Allie was confiding in Nic.

  Hope so about Stefan.   Lindsay Arnold (Allie) should be put on contract pronto, same goes for Ali Sweeney!

Will: Let's toast to me surviving you killing me.

Ben: Let's toast to you licking my a$$.

Will to Ben: You're so hot.

Will: Hey mom!

Sami: Are you kidding me? You're shacking up with your killer?

Will: Damn she's back!

True, she deserved it but I still feel bad for her. I wouldn't mind her and Jake getting together. It just has to be completely different from the way Gabi and Stefan were put together. Invest in them so that they could get their own fanbase.

 

And keeping Gwen around would make it even better

Totally agree about Allie...she's a find and her character helps expand the Hortons. 

 

I sooooo wish AS would return for a longer stint...even six months. The show immediately got a needed jolt when Hurricane Sami returned.

Preempted due to continuing CO kids back in school debate. 

 

I was planning on rewatching the week anyway.

 

So just adding...I thought they did a good job with the space at the pub for Ericole wedding. But I could be bias. We'll see how I feel once they get to the Ben/Ciara wedding and how they use space. At least I felt they tried and there were people.

I agree. I didn't really get the spark of Sami and EJ. And, I definitely didn't get her and Rafe. Sami and Lucas have so much history that their characters can say so much with just facial expressions while in scenes together. I don't understand why TPTB don't understand that Lucas should be full-time.

 

I also liked seeing Claire, Ciara, and Allie hanging out together as girlfriends (and various forms of cousins/aunt /niece). I hope that continues. Soaps need those kinds of relationships. Too often all the women are pitted against each other and can't be friends. I hope there's long story planned for Claire. She's sooo good. I know it's hard to pair her with someone since she's literally related to everyone on the show...she's a Black, a Brady, a Kriakis, a Horton...but that's why we need some new, young fresh blood characters outside the main families to mix it up. Is there any plan for Theo to finally return from South Africa? Poor Abe needs more to do.

It seems like the show has really been investing in friendships in the last few months and I hope they continue to do so. Including Allie into the Claire/Ciara relationship is a really good way to further weave her into the canvas.

 

Haven't heard anything about Theo being brought back, but he definitely needs to be. Tripp does too.

    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
