I agree with this. 

(I didn't intend, in my earlier post, to agree with or imply any judgement of slutty or not slutty. I intended to agree with the statement that she wasn't hitting on Eli. And just commenting that it was unsurprising that when she was feeling lost. she hit on her ex who is Theo.)

Even his voice is OTT. He uses this gruff grandpa voice all the time now, where his delivery used to be a little more natural. He just hasn't been the same since the RoboJohn story. Or maybe I paid less attention in the past.

I haven't notice a voice change.  He's always had that gruff voice, but he's practically filled that grandpa role and is doing weird things in the background.  Him and Deidre did that in the past as well.  It's just distracting. He def used to be more natural.  Idk, he looks like he's enjoying himself so whatever I guess lol, but I want to take away his caffeine or redbull because it's alot.

Finally got caught up on the week. I really enjoyed the Lucas/Phillip scenes. We don't see them interacting enough.

I also thought it was kind of weird that Tripp and Allie having sex was such a non-event. I'm guessing the show doesn't want us getting too invested in them? I don't think it's a COVID issue since the actors are obviously comfortable kissing each other. For me I thought it was weird how Allie was suddenly okay with being intimate with Tripp. Last time they tried, she kept having flashbacks to Charlie and it was a big deal. She even talked to Marlena about it, and Tripp talked to Kayla about how he understands since he went through this with Ciara. Then it wasn't really brought up again and Allie was perfectly okay going to bed with Tripp. It felt kind of rushed to me and like they were glossing over Allie's rape trauma.

And I don't think Chanel is a slut. She's a young girl who has feelings for her supposedly-straight female friend and is trying to take her mind off of it by throwing herself at her ex. And I'd be ogling Eli too if he was walking around the house naked, lol. That hardly makes someone a slut. It just means she's not blind. She's a gold digger yeah, but not a slut, especially not by soap standards.

I'm so over Brady and Phillip fighting over Chloe. They both act like they own her. I get why guys would fight over her but it's lame. I did laugh at Phillip saying he belongs at the party because Nicole used to be his step-mom.

Brady really needs a rest or a different kind of story because all he does is go from woman to woman. It's so tired.

I thought Eli questioning Xander was pretty funny. When Xander was like, "What friend? I have lots of friends," then Eli was like, "That's news to me."

Eric and Nicole still have awesome chemistry I just love them. But I know it doesn't make sense to keep Nicole in limbo if GV isn't going to be on the show. Gotta torpedo their marriage so Nicole can go be with Rafe... yuckkkk. LOL at Sami saying that Eric is looking so well because he's been away from Nicole for 10 months.

    • 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.
