All the jokes in today’s show about ANOTHER person coming back to life were both entertaining yet annoying. It’s like RC knows he’s ridiculous with all these returns from the dead but just constantly does it because he DGAF

At least this return from the dead has been foreshadowed for several years, as the flashback to Dr. Rolf's Nashville warehouse of reanimated corpses took care to remind us. And I feel like Ron hasn't been quite as kill-happy as his predecessors, which should reduce the need for these "magic death-defying potion" plots in the future. Ciara has "died," but they never found a body. Adrienne died, but they can always do a kooky "Bonnie really died and Adrienne thinks she's Bonnie" plot if need be. And I guess Haley and Jordan both died under Ron's pen, but so what?

I always take it as the show just acknowledging it's ridiculous and there's no point in playing it out like it's the first time this has happened. I agree with you though; it's both entertaining yet slightly annoying. lol. But I get why they take the stance they do on it. Literally just about everyone on this show has come back from the dead so there's no surprise or shock left so they treat it like the joke it is. I don't know that I agree but I get it.

I mean, I would be more shocked if Salemites actually were surprised at this point. Days is the soap where everyone comes back from the dead, even if you've been decapitated, hit by a meteor and then had your remains eaten by hungry tigers. I'd think it would be easier to list characters that have stayed dead at this point.

ETA: I just realised that Tamara Braun briefly played Taylor Walker in 2011 - how soon before Ron pulls another doppelganger storyline?

Ugh... you know we soap fans can put up with a lot of crap, but I hated how they rewrote it that Bonnie and Adrienne were lookalikes. There was never a mention of this when Bonnie was introduced in 2003, nor when Bonnie left/Adrienne returned within a month of each other in 2007.  

 

Boy, did it make Maggie look foolish when it was revealed Bonnie was posing as Adrienne and Maggie had no inkling beforehand.

To me, the stupid part is casting a long-running Days actress in a totally different role in the first place. I know it's standard practice on Days (see also Josh Taylor as Chris/Roman and Kyle Lowder as Brady/Rex), but it's a dumb practice.

It adds SO much to this J&J story.  Seeing Jenn at the Horton home wallowing gives it all so much more weight and poignance.  However, I'm confused about who lives there now.  That was Jennifer's house since shortly after Alice's death in 2010, and then Doug & Julie temporarily moved in to help Jenn through her recovery in 2016 (and then I guess never left?) . . . but on the Thanksgiving ep. it was played as Julie's house?!?  I thought Jenn being "the steward of their family home" (like Maggie called her one TomSell Christmas) has always been perfect.  To think of her living in Peter's father's house was SO wacked out.

 

Also, seeing Cady in the Horton set goes a long way in making her feel more like Jennifer.  So far, Cady's Jenn has been pretty stuck in the DiMansion bubble.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
