Thanks. I figured it was something like that.

 

I always felt crazy Liam from a few years ago should have turned out to be Peter, but Idk, I guess even the mere appearance of the character is too much for Missy and Scott.

Weren't there also rumors Missy was a bit of a partier and or serial dater before she married him?  And she certainly wasn't as devout?

 

 

It has always left a bad taste in my mouth even before Missy's other behavior.  I don't care she had an affair that happens all the time.  I don't care she wanted to save her marriage, but it makes me feel like she basically dictated what she wanted twice.  First by bailing mid-contract then by having say over her story and casting decisions.  I am not saying Peter is necessary, but he has always been a strangely absent character over the years.

What's up with EJ always being in pajamas? Let this dude take his shirt off. He looks gorgeous in every picture I've seen of him, especially shirtless. Let him be hot, show! I still like him as the new EJ though.

 

Being with Rafe has made Ava's character so boring. Not here for a triangle with Nicole. I did like the Nicole/Lucas scenes today though.

 

Loved the end with Kate voting to remove Jake.

I agree that it's time to bring back Cady McClain as Jennifer. Forget about Missy Reeves. Cady was fantastic and made me forget that she was even a recast. It's weird that we finally have Jack on the show and being written for, meanwhile his family is all gone. Abigail I get since the actress is on maternity leave, but why is Jennifer still out of town? And I still want JJ to come back in general and also so it can be acknowledged that he wanted to date Gwen who turned out to be his sister, lol.

 

I don't need deVry on the show, though.

Am I the only one who strongly suspects that Missy's exit last year was not about the difficult commute in the times of covid19 but because she didn't want to follow the covid-precautions procedures?
I mean, they are very likely to be anti-maskers, aren't they?

Maybe?  But I figured it was mostly about the heat she got for her racist views and tweets.  Cast members spoke out against her, so I don't think it would be the best environment for all involved.  Or the show or Ken may have strongly suggested she take a break.

I don't really follow the DAYS fan/stan paths - I wonder how popular Cady was among the more vocal Jennifer fans, or even how many of those are left. I can't see a lot of the show's remaining fanbase disagreeing with Melissa's views (as soaps have chased away most fans who aren't white and conservative), but I never really heard the type of outcry over the recast (admittedly people knew Cady was always a temp and Melissa was not replaced because of her views) that I know I would have if, say, Hope or Marlena had been recast.

I haven't heard a lot of outcry.  A lot of people say it would be better if Missy played this or that, but I think the consensus is Cady did a fine job.  I haven't seen many complaints even from online Jack/Jen stans really.  Just disappointment that Missy wasn't there.  To be fair though, I think Jack/Jen stans are used to this stuff.  Both Jack and Jen have been recast and off and on the show for years now.  I consider Jen important, but not in the league of Marlena or Hope.

 

I am nowhere near a Jen stan-I can take her or leave her.  I thought Cady did a great job, but a few times I wondered how Missy would play that or felt CM was off on Jennifer's vibe in certain circumstances.

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
