It’s too stupid for words. Granted, the whole story was stupid, so it’s a blessing that it’s over, but this is the pattern. Dumb sh!t drawn out, then abandoned.

Jason Thompson deserves better because he’s actually doing good work.

In service of bullsh!t.

Whatever happened to ashland? He seems to have become a supporting character when he should be instigating stuff.

Devon needs to guzzle a giant can of STFU. He agreed to be a sperm donor. Abby and Chance are giving him access to Dom and he's acting all put out that he can't have a bigger role in the kid's life. Too bad.

Traci was drafted in to replace Jack in her scenes.

I don’t know what they’re doing with Devon. It’s one thing to give him a sense of regret, or if they really pushed the idea that Abby and Chance were neglectful parents. (Or if Chance was having PTSD that made him potentially dangerous. They’ve toyed with it.) But this makes him look terrible, and the resulting drama isn’t strong enough to be worth it. 

The surrogate story has been an albatross for all involved.

This is why I hate surrogacy storylines on soaps: the sperm/egg donor inevitably becomes so attached to the baby that they end up making life hell for the couple who would otherwise be childless.  It's become a cliche, and it paints a very negligent picture of surrogacy.

Y&R under the current powers that be are in the process of ruining yet another character.  This time, Devon, who's being an a-hole for thinking about suing for custody when he agreed and signed paperwork to say he would have no ties to Dominic.   What's next?  Amanda, saying she snuck a clause in so that Devon can get Dominic away from Abby & Chance?  SMFH

Pretty much. Yikes!

If anything at the very least I think better drama would come out of it if Devon began desperately wanting his own son and began pressing Amanda to bore and/or adopt a child. Amanda is very hesitant/reluctant about it as she wants to be more stability and also a bit apprehensive about it as she remembers Hilary was pregnant when she died. Imani however becomes close to Devon and a lot more open to hearing of Devon’s plight, causing friction between the three. 
 

But the show would actually have to write for Imani….

Imani reappears to flirt with Nate - again, and Elena grimaces.

They needn't have bothered taping that scene as it's been played several times. Just insert it from a previous ep.

As for high drama, Phyllis is being sued by an unhappy client over the Escrap Club. Several minutes were spent on that nonsense.

Business intrigue in the corridor at Newman Media.

Amanda and Imani are going great guns at their new law firm! You know, the  one we have never seen .

    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
