Let's be honest with ourselves here: the possession is not going to be a story with a beginning, middle and end.
It is going to be another open-ended tool for RC, just like the face masks, to be able to tell any story he feels like telling without any limitation of plausibility or characterization.
He is using the "Devil" as a get-out-of-jail free card to write things happening that he is too lazy to make happen slowly and organically based on proper storytelling and well-developed characters with motives.
The Devil Did It is so much easier.

100%. It's been obvious since the Devil entered Johnny - most of the stuff Johnny's done so far isn't stuff that he couldn't have done without being The Prince of Darkness. Maybe if the Devil story had been more about him influencing the Salemites to do bad things (leaving it open to interpretation how much things people did under the influence of the Devil versus how much they're themselves just using it as an excuse), but then there wouldn't have been any need to have the Devil literally jump around inside of people.

As of now, he's just having Johnny do things that he could've done either way, just without having to justify any motives for having him do so.

OMG, I'm at the episode where Johnny is just "casually" working out in front of Craig... at the mall... which is supposedly an indoor one - this is so bad

If the idea was to have the devil tempt Craig through Johnny (and his "gorgeous" body), why not just have the devil appear (as naked Johnny) to Craig in a dream?  The devil can enter people's dreams, you know!  It would have made much more sense than that scene at HTS.

Getting caught up still. I’m actually annoyed they showed that flashback of Craig and Nancy in the bathtub, because it just shows that man was actually madly in love with his wife, despite what RC wants us to believe now. Honestly Craig just seems like a prick now. And as others have mentioned, I truly can’t see how Leo of all characters would be the type of man he left his wife for.

Good episode today.

All this makes me believe even more that most of the story ideas are good, but it’s the poor execution of it that’s really hurting the show.

Glad to see Will interacting with his siblings. He had good chemistry with both of them. 

And as for the devil going into Belle for a while, I don’t mind it

Will looked very hot today. The haircut, the beard, the outfit. It just worked. I loved his scenes with both of his siblings. I also really like the idea of Will and Johnny not getting along. I'd keep that dynamic even after the devil stuff is over.  I assume we are getting more Will and Allie, tomorrow, but I did like what we've got so far. It took Will a long time to come to terms with his sexuality, so helping his sister in a similar position I think is really sweet. 

I do think there are decent stories on DAYS, but the devil possession story is terrible and dragging the whole show down. You take that out, you have a solid base to build from.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
