EJ egging Rafe on will never not be funny. The Nicole/Rafe stuff is so eye roll worthy. Do the writers think they're 5? They share custody of a teddy bear and now they're peeking at each other over their menus. Make it stop!

I wish that they had more of a reason as to why EJ is *so* mad over Johnny's movie-making dreams. I get that EJ is upset that his son doesn't want to work for the family business, but his reaction seems so over dramatic. I know that now Johnny's movie is just about the possession, but at first when it was going to be the Sami story, I think it would've been interesting to have EJ be opposed to the movie because he was afraid that Johnny would find out the details surrounding his conception (I'm assuming Johnny doesn't know). But instead we just get EJ wagging his finger at Johnny because he doesn't want to wear a business suit.

I did enjoy the EJ/Nicole scenes at the end. More of this please and less of Nicole and Rafe acting like middle schoolers. Also, EJ cooking for Nicole sounds hilarious, and I'd rather see those scenes than Ava in Rafe's kitchen making Italian yet again.

I hate that weird-looking modern chess set at the DiMera mansion. I really need it to be a new day in Salem because Abby's outfit is hideous. LOL at Johnny/Chad. Between that and the EJ/Will shoutout, they're really teasing us lately.

Chad and Abby have been fun too.

I wish we could've seen Doug getting admitted to Bayview. I rather would've seen that than Paulina's pie drama.

I'll post them under a spoiler tag so the thirst police don't get upset I wouldn't want the Datalounge posters to look down on me.

Meanwhile, EJ had like six layers of clothes on today...

I am playing catch-up on a bunch of episodes, and I may never forgive Ron Carlivati for luring me back to the show with possession 2.0, and making me sit through Johnny singing whatever that was.

And damn, Bill Hayes is really killing it here.  Him not coming right out and saying it is such a Reilly throwback.

The slicked back hair is a tragedy! It always drove me crazy with Sonny. It looked horrible. Philip could use a new hairstyle too. It's just crazy to hire DF and then do that to his hair.

 I don't know any man in real life who slicks back his hair, lol. Maybe I'm not hanging out with the right people. 

I was thinking maybe they're trying to make DF look older? There's only like a 12 year age difference between him and Carson Boatman.

ICYMI DAYS’S DAN FEUERRIEGEL GUESTS ON DIGEST’S PODCAST

 

On the latest Dishing With Digest, DAYS’s Dan Feuerriegel shared some interesting facts, including 1) that before discovering his passion for acting, he planned to become a veterinarian, 2) that he came close to landing the role of Y&R’s Adam, and 3) why he nearly decided against screen-testing for EJ.

    • 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.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
