Ben holding a gun at Vincent for almost the entire show was so BORING. The Salem Air Field looked awful. But at least it wasn't HTS. I guess due to Covid-19 and lack of a real budget. Ciara's funeral and memorial service weren't shown. Not that i mind.  Both Allie and Tripp deserve better than this crappy rape story. Poor Elani everything is Kristen this, Kristen that.

To bring back Tripp as rape suspect or possible rapist is stupid. It a waste of a character with potential. Why can't Allie and Tripp have a romance. RC doesn't have the skills or talent to write this type of story.  I would've preferred they had a fling or one nightstand. The girl that plays Allie is green but she has raw talent. And deserves better.  Both actors deserve better. For awhile now Days hasn't let it's young characters enjoy being young adults. Everything has to be dark af for them.

I have to agree. Why couldn't they have just had a one night stand? Both actors absolutely deserve better.

 

Or they could have committed to a true rape story but that's not possible, especially under Ron.

 

I think there's a reason young actors flee DAYS like they do ...

nope

 

Marty and Victor Jr. spring to mind immediately

 

Sort of unrelated to that ...

 

I also want to rant ... you give a young hunky white guy a contract but then you bring on someone fans have wanted back since they left (Theo) and it's just a 'complication' and visit?

Okay, now that we got the cliffhanger that, according to the DNA test, Tripp is the father of Allie's baby, I wanted to share my crazy fan theory. I'm guessing that the real father--and the man who actually raped Allie--will be Tripp's long-lost half-brother, Ava's other son who we never knew existed. And I'm guessing that will be Charlie, and I'm guessing that he's actually working at Titan as a mole, feeding info on the company to his mother (who I'm guessing is also Phillip's co-conspirator). 

 

I have no idea if my guesses will turn out to be right, but I'm excited to keep watching and find out!

 

Also, I'm living for those Jake and Gwen scenes. I feel like other soaps need to study what Days has done with those two, because THAT'S the right way to introduce new characters to the canvas.

Add that soaps in general just don't have a great track record with telling stories about somewhat sensitive issues like rape. Too often it's been used as sweeps fodder to make me believe that this time, especially under a plot'n'camp based writer like Ron, it'll be done right.

    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      Btw, if he’s on again, you should apply to be a contestant
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
