Having the two different openings was nice. The original one to start and the miniseries one.

For me the episode flew by. It could've been better with improved writing (I don't see that happening). The nonsense with Paulina famous friends was a bit much and not needed. The concept of Killer Ben and Austin buying estate jewelry is ridiculous. Come on now.

I hated everything Killer Ben and Ciara... they continue to prop his sorry ass even in the spinoff. I'm not here for that. At least Billie was horrified that she married a serial killer and told him to stay from her family. Why was Ciara explaining Will's love life to Billie? Billie was there during the whole Will/Paul/Sonny triangle.

LOL yep. There's no need for cheating anymore. Sonny is hot now, out of those ill-fitting suits, and no longer has slicked-back hair. Hallelujah!

I liked Deidre's voice over at the very beginning. The actual opening sequence was LOL. I skipped right through Ben and Ciara as usual, at least until Lipsa Rinna showed up. Why is Ciara parading around in lingerie?

Billie: The necktie killer who strangled my nephew Will?

Ciara: It's okay, they're best friends now.

F*CK I hate Ciara and Ben. This is why I don't watch their scenes.

Paulina is glad Rosie O'Donnell moved away. LMAO. And she's friends with Michele Obama. I love it. Lani and Eli are a very attractive couple.

Christie Clark looks amazing. I'm so glad that Tony and Anna are part of this.

Chad/Will/Sonny was the highlight for me, which is funny because I haven't had any use for Will and Sonny on the main show in ages. Enjoying the new and improved Sonny. Let's get them back in Salem. LEO!!!!

OMG Yes!  I forgot to mention that... Why in the hell was Ciara running around in New Orleans in red underwear?

I feel like VK always dresses like that, but it was distractingly skimpy. 

I liked it all.  It wasn't amazing, but no one bothered me even Ciara/Ben.  

The idea Ben/Austin could buy priceless diamonds is funny, but whatever lol.

Jarlena were wearing the same outfits they were wearing early last week and not the ones they were wearing on Thursday's episode, so that was a continuity error.  And could Days buy Deidre that Blue lace dress in another color at least?  She wears that all the time.

I wonder if this will explain Hope's disappearance better.  I doubt KA will come back though for this.  I would assume they would have promoted that because I don't think she's a bigger get than Eileen or Lisa in terms of promotion.

Haven't watch yet.

 

Sounds like the writing could have been slightly better?

 

So many who saw it were saying it was "game changing" ... I don't see it from the comments here. How? game changing as in a soap is being promoted by the network and airing a mini-series on it's streaming platform? Nothing about the show itself feels game changing so far. So that has confused me. Hype I guess.

It was nice seeing Carrie.

The sets were improved but of course Will and Sonny get shafted with the ugliest apartment. What gay married couple live in such a hideous place? Come on Ron Carlivati!!

 

What a breath of fresh air. New improved Sonny is hot and can act! No more awful cringeworthy faces and screaming coming from Sonny. The opening scene (the hug) with Chad was oozing with sexual tension! Damn Chad and Sonny had smoking chemistry. Will had very little time today. 

I was liking the concept of Will cheating on Sonny. He should've been cheating on old fat righteous Sonny on the mother show. I was hoping for a hot guy to be in the room. I had forgotten about Leo....ugh!...

 

Chandler looked hot as usual. Sonny, Will and Chad could have their own spinoff on Peacock. There is no way Chad hasn't had a taste of Sonny's pie or some other hot guy.

It was really just like a normal episode to me, just slightly more exciting because we had some faces that we don't see on the normal show like Carrie and Austin. And it didn't take place in Salem. No Horton Town Square!

It was fine and I'm looking forward to the rest, but hardly "game changing."

I agree. If we could have nice things, Chad would have been all over Sonny and Will. He'd be bisexual no question. And Billy Flynn plays it that way LOL.

 

So excited to see Zach as Sonny and Christie Clark as Carrie.

 

That's what it sounds like to me. I'm cool with that, I guess, since this is probably the DAYS I'd rather watch anyway LOL

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      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.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      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.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      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.
