They were so fun today. I know some people don't like him but I freaking LOVE Queen Leo. He is awesome in small doses - perfect for Beyond Salem. I adore Greg Rikaart in this role. I actually rewatched all their scenes today because it was just so fun. I totally missed Leo grabbing Will's dick the first time I watched

OMG! And I loved Leo and Jackie texting at the end.

Time for them to come back to Salem.

Also, I love how during those group scenes with Leo and Jackie, Billy Flynn was just sitting on the couch laughing. Like maybe Chad laughing was actually in the script, but BF looked like he had fun being in the background of those scenes.

Leo's complete lack of shame and his audacity just give me life LOL. He's SO over the top but it works in small doses. You know Ron is living through him LOL. 

 

That shower scene ... yes please. I like that it was an actual shower and not some broom closet with a shower head nozzle. But it needed to fit three people so ...

Julianne Morris as Greta had this sweetness and light that emitted from her face. She may not have been Meryl Streep in the acting stakes, but she had chemistry with her screen partners and committed to the part and the script. I mean, the Garden of Eden nonsense was hairy (on many levels), but by God, she did what was asked of her. Even though I could feel her embarrassment burn from my screen.

As for Beyond Salem, I am behind (just finished Ep 1). But I am loving how breezy and fun it is. Everybody looks like they are having a ball, and everybody believes in this project. I also like what I'm hearing about the upcoming episodes pushing the envelope a little in terms of what they can show versus Daytime's restrictions. This is the place to showcase what streaming can allow Days to do beyond a Daytime setting.

I'm not a fan of Lisa Rinna on RHOBH but watching her as Billie on Days, all my old fondness for her is rushing back, lol.

    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone.

      I thought it was the doctor that freed her from the closet
    • The show must have edited/rearranged scenes, or else the spoilers were wrong.  This is what was spoiled for what aired this week: Monday, April 28 – Episode #044 Naomi struggles to gain the trust of her new client. Ashley and Derek adjust to their new living arrangement. Leslie launches her latest scheme against the Duprees. Tues., April 29 and Wed. April 30 BTG preempted due to CBS live coverage of UEFA Champions League soccer. Thursday, May 1 – Episode #045 The Duprees kick off Ted and Nicole's anniversary party. Eva tries one last time to keep her mother in check. Kat inches closer to unearthing the conspiracy that threatens to shatter the family's big night. Friday, May 2 – Episode #046 Ted and Nicole's anniversary party is a night the family won't soon forget. Ashley and Derek juggle the messy realities of moving in together. Bill braces for his part in Ted's deception to come to light. ---------- The changes: Monday April 28 Naomi and her client were not in the episode. Instead, Chelsea met with Allison from her threesome. Friday May 2 Thankfully no Ashley and Derek.

      Thanks for the heads up
    • That tidbit of Leslie giving Martin a brownie at Orphey Gene's and then telling him when he was little she gave him brownies was soooooooo good.   Fantastic show today 
    • Best episode of "BTG" since its premiere. I thought it was Andre.
