Speaking of looking good, Tamara Braun makes 50 look amazing. Shame that Ava is useless.

A possession free day. It's nice to get a break. From that dry and boring story. But the other stories are just as dry and boring. EJ's hair is drenched in hair gel. I do wonder if Days will revisit Abby and EJ's affair?

   He needs to show his new look to Nicole and make her forget all about Rafe.

Duke the Bear wouldn't let that happened.

When Deidre was on Kelly Clarkston she made it sound like filming the repossesion is over

 

Also IF IATSE strikes Monday, Days will be in Good shape will episodes filmed thru Feb 2022

[Errol]

Here's hoping some changes are made IF there is a strike (which we do not want - the strike part that is).

With that dress and hairstyle, I think he looks more like Belinda Chinashop

Yikes.

Imagine what that’ll all look like when he’s older

[Soapsuds]

Do you know when they taped the Kelly Clarkson show? Deidre said they had already taped the Christmas episodes and will feature heavily the possession story. 

I heard no mention of the story being over as John said.

It was early September. Around the time of Beyond Salem 

[Soapsuds]

So that means they are about 4 months ahead.

DF is looking thinner! He looks good!

[John]

Well Hopefully AMPTP gets their heads out of their butts. IATSE aint playing

[AlexElizabeth]

This movie stuff is so stupid. Chad and Abby don't just rip up the contracts or throw them in the fireplace? And Johnny is just going along with this crap? Dumb. Thankfully EJ taunting Chad was funny, which saved these scenes for me.

EJ says Chad would bring a lot to the role of Roman the cuckold

He's looking forward to that conference table scene

Besides EJ being funny and DF's scruff, today was a total bore. Nicole looked really pretty though. Too bad she and Rafe are god awful. She's only mooning over Rafe because she hasn't seen EJ's new hairdo. Chloe/Philip/Brady is literally the same scene on repeat.

Albert Alarr told DF he needed to get in better shape. Imagine being Albert and having the nerve to tell the guy from Spartacus that he needs to hit the gym.

Do you guys remember those scenes Ben and Ciara had with the tour guide in NOLA? They talked about the history of enslaved people building the property, as well as accountability/reconciling with the past. Their last scene ended on this spooky note of foreshadowing (at least to me), and this was before I knew about Possession 2.0. I admit my gut reaction was, “Lord Je… please do not tell me black ghosts are following these two back to Salem.” I mean my mind really went to some pseudo woke type paranormal storyline. Did anyone else get similar vibes, or was it all just about Ben Ben Ben and his fear of passing his genes onto a child?

Honestly, showbiz storylines just never seem to work for soaps - maybe it's because if you really wanted to make a movie (or have a successful singing career etc) you'd be off to either Los Angeles or New York and not stay in little Salem in the middle of America. As others said, if Johnny had actually been a teenager doing a high school project it might've worked better with having people around him in the cast. Maybe they should've just brought on Sydney as a teenager and eventually had all the secrets of her family coming out as a reason for her to turn into a mini-Sami nightmare.
