I’ll never accept nuClaire either. Just don’t like that actress in the role.

 

That donut recipe was handed over far too easily to service a storyline that will probably look ridiculous. Allie and Chanel running a bakery? Uh...ok. Talk about random.

 

And while I’m fine with Chanel being sexually fluid and flirting all over the place, having Allie show interest in her seems like game playing to me, and I don’t like it. Ron couldn’t write stories for gay males but he can do it for gay or bi females? Yeah, right.

There have been rumors that Isabel Durant(Claire) is no longer on the show. If that is the case, maybe DAYS has recast Claire. I thought of 2 former Y&R actresses who could takeover as Claire. They are Anna Grace Barlow (ex-Zoe) and Bayley Corman, who once filled-in as Summer.

Durant is just too soap opera bland. She's... ok, but Keegan just had this quirky vibe about her that made Claire stand out. With Durant Claire just fades into the background with the other "good girls".

Finally caught up on the past week (and still struggling to find the motivation to watch).

 

Ava and Rafe are boring together. Then again, Rafe is boring with everyone.

 

I cracked up at Julie saying, "Sorry, not sorry, as the kids say." I love Xander and Julie living under the same roof. I cracked up when Xander said that the living room was "his room" and that the couch is his bed. Do Abigail and JJ not have old bedrooms there that he could use?

 

Gabi is so insecure about Jake. Everything about these two together leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

Chloe sure looks good for someone who's been tied up and wasting away in the trunk of a car for three days. She still looked good after being shot, too.

Ben the hero Why did they just sit around chit chatting in a cabin full of smoke? Untie her, go outside, then talk about divorce papers and what not. Silly.

The whole Jake/Kate romance was clearly a plot device lol. At least it's in character for Kate to pull a stunt like this, so I'm cool with it. I'd have rather she had been playing him all of these months for her own purposes but then started having the hots for him as he dumped her. It's close to that. Sometimes just a little change in the writing could go a long way.

The fact they are very conspicuously having no clue what to do with him is another sign for me, along with the weirdly rushed and poorly timed way her exit story came about, that LG's Sarah's exit was a last-minute decision/off-screen issue that they had not planned for.

To which I will simply reiterate I hope LG is OK and I am going to cut them some slack on the way Xander has been floating from story to story without landing on anything interesting so far.

I agree that they probably aren't entirely sure what to do with Xander because of LG's abrupt exit, but honestly I adore Paul Telfor so I'm totally okay with him being involved in everything. He is so fun and is one of the bright spots of the show for me lately.

Paul Telfer is lucky tptb are hot for him because usually when you abruptly lose your love interest/big story, you languish on the backburner lol.  I like Xander and think he functions really well like this, bbuutt . . . he is problematic af.  He was legitimately psycho until his unexpected romance with Sarah.  Like, it is really disgusting that Nicole hooked up with him after EVERYthing he did to her.  And it wasn't just her; remember everything he did to Eric, Theresa, Chloe, etc?!?  I know they explained that Jack is friends with him (which I love, btw) because Xander didn't know who he was in the warehouse, but he could have done his due diligence . . . and it doesn't excuse why he let everyone in Salem believe everyone there was dead.  Idk, I'm so much more down for overlooking his past then, say, Ben but it is a big ask.

 

The Horton Home residents have become a really fun crew . . . but it is so implausible that Jack, Julie, Doug, Gwen, and Xander are living together.  Isn't it Jennifer's house?  Why is Jack inviting in all these strays???  Lolol

Yeah, I get sets are hard to come by on DAYS but Jack inviting Xander and Gwen to live in the Horton house is ridiculous to me. All of them living together is amusing but it feels wrong lol.

 

In my dream world, JJ, Abby and Jennifer are with an alive Laura in Boston.

 

It's ironic we got Jack back and now none of his kids or wife are on the canvas. His mother in law is dead. But he's playing daddy to Gwen and Xander. It's like we can't have *both*.

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.
