I have a feeling stating it was due to traveling was to glaze over the fact several cast mates were upset over her views (ie: Candance Owens, et al) and, of course, her likely desire to [probably] not follow COVID precautions.

It's clear, to me, she seems to prefer being in Tennessee, any way, with her family and running their coffee shop business.

I was coming here to comment on the bear as well. I'm sick of Duke! LOL. I love when they let Eli be the voice of the audience and just be like, what's the deal with the bear? I can't believe Eli and Rafe talked about it the whole episode. Loved Eli's idea about putting Duke in the incinerator!

 

Nicole's green dress is fugly! Tamara Braun looks amazing for 50.

 

I was not expecting to have scenes where Paulina talked about having a lesbian dream.

 

I loved watching Jake and Gabi get kicked out of the conference room and leave with their tails between their legs. Bye losers! When Jake came into the mansion and started screaming at Kate, I wanted her to rip off her sunglasses and punch him in the face. They're so mad at Kate for deceiving them, as if they haven't been lying to her this whole time too. Idiots! #TeamKate

I heard the same.  And yet during the DiMera board meeting stuff (June 24, 25, 28) Peter was mentioned and phoned in his vote.

 

And they actually had Jake say this:

 

 

Writers throwing shade at "nobody ever talks about him for some reason"

Am I the only one that thinks Cady was terrible as Jennifer. She was great on ATWT, so I was excited to see her join DAYS. I still can't believe she was SO bad. And was quite surprised when I saw so many online praising her. I was like wtf really?

I still don't understand why the *character* could not even be mentioned.
I mean, not bringing back the actors; fine, I get it. But the character? That'd be a ridiculous thing for them to agree to.
One more reason for her to stay off-the-show.

I'm slowly getting back into the habit of watching DAYS everyday, and I really liked Monday's episode. It had a nice balance of scenes that moved the plot forward (e.g. all the Dimera Enterprises intrigue) and well-written funny scenes that weren't so plot focused, but involved characters talking about their feelings (Lucas and Sami, Paulina and Abe, Eli teasing Rafe about Nicole and the bear). I'm also interested to see where this tension between Chad and EJ leads, and I love how they're using Tony more in this mix. 

 

The only parts for me that didn't work involved Ava. I feel like they've defanged Ava too much, too soon. DAYS is a little too in love with this kind of "bad girl gets reformed by the love of a good man" plot, and the "bad girl" often loses all the characteristics that made her interesting in the first place, turning her into a kind of Stepford wife. (Seriously, what does Ava even do all day? Just cook for Rafe?) This happened with Nicole, back when they last paired her with Eric, but I'm relieved she's finally got her edge back. Now they just need to do the same for Ava. Maybe Paulina can hire her to do some shady stuff to the businesses in Horton town square.

I *think* the character of Peter could be mentioned, but not in relation to Peter/Jen.  Basically, the Peter/Jen/Jack stuff was just wiped out of Jennifer's history.  With Kristen also off the show, there wasn't a ton of reasons to mention him.  It was just obvious when Jen would recap her history or romantic history and not mention Peter at all.  It's really stupid because I would have never noticed it if Jen mentioned Peter a few times in passing.  It became more noticeable when she went out of her way to avoid it.

Yeah, she can stay gone lol

 

Did anyone else find Abe and Paulina cringeworthy?  I appreciate Days trying with the sexual fluidity stuff, but the show is making it awkward and clunky.  JR looked embarrassed.  It's just a lot to hear about Paulina's sex dreams...But it's better than talking to a teddy bear.  Thank God, Eli was a voice of reason.  

 

For someone who cooks Italian all day, Ava sure is skinny.  TB is just playing Carly lite with Ava this time around.  Slightly less weepy than Kim Nero, but without any of her Carly's bite.   BORING....  Didn't Ava briefly date RoboJohn?  I am pretty sure they were sleeping together.  Is not something the show mentions?  Have they even shared scenes?

Lauren's line that most people are working remotely lately was kind of humourous, but a nice nod to the pandemic.

 

MTE. James Reynolds looks bored and uninspired in this storyline. I'm sad TPTB dropped the Abe-Valerie pairing, which I thought had great promise. Plus, the potential pairing with Maxine... and didn't they, at one point, tease Abe and Kayla...?

Yes they teased Abe/Kayla and Abe/Kate. 

I think I liked Abe/Valerie better too.  It's not that I mind an Abe lovestory.  It's just I am not sure I need to see the morning after with Paulina lol.   Since 99% of Abe's romantic stories have played off screen (outside of Lexie), it's weird for this to be on screen and so sexual.   But I am not sure anyone can make that dialogue work.  I always picture Abe as fairly straight laced and that's why Lexie cheated on him so much lol.  So them talking about lesbian dreams is just weird.......

I don't know if I see what you see - maybe a bit uncomfortable but hey - but I would be VERY surprised if a soap actor veteran in his 70s was complaining he was given a romance and front-burner storyline. I don't think JR is mad at it.

    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in solid gold. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. (did not see Naomi?) -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white shirt over it, black jacket. Andre - black tee, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket.

      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...
