They kind of have to give us EJill now that it's basically been acknowledged on screen that Will had the hots for him 

Something like that would only happen on peacock. So who knows. Fingers crossed!!

Sami was understood and at times sympathized with, but the audience was invited to love to hate her in the '90s. They rooted for her getting her just desserts from Carrie. This has never happened with the allegedly rehabilitated Ben. That's the difference.

It is extremely easy to redeem Ben, even now, by blaming a frame-up job in the world of DAYS. Ron Carlivati doesn't do it because he bullishly believes he was right to do similar stories like the rapemance at OLTL, NuFranco at GH, etc. and that it doesn't matter what a character does so long as they or the actor are edgy and fun to write for. But characters and stories do have limits - many soap scribes have learned that the hard way. Even Ron did, which led us to the Two Todds.

tbh I've never disliked Drake. He sold the hell out of his story in the '80s and '90s and he has a certain skill and charm that is often underestimated. He's not Olivier but people have rarely given him enough credit. He is a singular personality, yes, but he's DAYS.

 

I have always liked Drake too.  He fits what Roman/John should be and the stories he was given post-Wayne's run.  He's charismatic, has chemistry with most his co-stars, and looks like he enjoys doing what he is doing.  He is certainly not a good actor, but I think he has a way of connecting with the audience and giving them what they want.   He plays an excellent hero and romantic lead and I agree he wouldn't be a fit for any other soap, he's perfect for Days.  I also appreciate that him, Deidre, and the Hayes don't have to work, but do it because they want to.  

Anyway, everyone continue posting hot DF pics!

Eli serving body-oddy-oddy today.

The Key Lime pie drama was silly. Julie's Place is always empty. Satan's MIA again. Nicole & NuEJ are really sparking. The interaction between Johnny, Chad and Abby was nice.

Today's show was so dull.

[AbcNbc247]

Not for nothing, but I really would have liked to have seen Doug be carted off to Bayview and the effects that it would have had on family, friends, etc., even Ben and Ciara lol

On the other hand, the Johnny/Chad/Abigail/EJ scenes were great, so was Abe’s proposal.

Not even Johnny and Chad’s hug and kiss interested you?

How many times are we going to have Johnny begging for money and talking about how great his movie will be?

How many times are Johnny and Chad going to ask if she's doing the movie?

EJ arguing again with chad about Johnny movie.

Wasting episode counts on the same drivel.

Rafe... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....why bother?

Jackee got engaged... Yay!!!

Not a very good episode.

Yep.

After Chad agreed to fund the movie, Johnny gave him a big hug, a kiss on the cheek and said “I could kiss you all night”
