Marlena is pretty tolerant and forgiving.  Remember when she was taking care of Stefano after MarDevil pushed him off a roof?  NO sane person would do that ever.  The Ben love is problematic for so many reasons.   I chalk it up to the show propping the character of Ben so hard and perhaps Marlena's desire as a psychiatrist to fix people.  Also, Marlena is BFF with Kristen now and that bothers me more than Ben. 

 

With the John/Steve stuff, I actually will cut Marlena some slack.  I took at she was trying to de-escalate the situation between Steve/John because John is still suffering from those rage attacks.   I think it was more about keeping the peace than full on taking Steve's side.  But it is such a missed beat Marlena does not ever get to mention her rape and that it comes off weird when it would probably be actually helpful for Allie.

I know we're not supposed to like Charlie anymore, but he/Mike Manning looked sooo hot today

 I'd keep going but I think I've already thirsted for him enough on here lol

 

Today's episode kind of reminded me of an episode of B&B, where the entire episode revolved around one story. But, tbh, DAYS does that much better than B&B does. Every scene had some kind of flow and purpose. Instead of having people just talk about the situation, which happens a lot on B&B, things actually happened.

Ron thinks all these violent plot driven confrontations between Tripp and Allies family is him trying to portray both sides; he is sadly mistaken. Lucas and Allie nearly killing Tripp doesn’t do what her character went through any justice, it just makes it cartoonish. While anger and rage is part of ones reaction, it shouldn’t be written the only reaction from those involved. It’s getting tiresome.

Carlaviti got Charlie shirtless with closeups.......damn....that said this story is dragging at a snail pace. Claire is being dumb down so much that's it's not believable. 

 

Again we got to see Will all of 5 seconds. I did love the puppy eyes Will gave Tripp though...lol

      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.

    • 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.
