Am I the only one who actually wanted Leo not to be scheming?  I am not a Leo fan and could care less about him, but this all feels so predictable.   I don't think this is leading to Leo/Sonny- I think it might be leading to an addiction story with Sonny.

No, you're not the only one, lol.  If anything, I wanted this to be one time when Leo WASN'T scheming, if only because he could feel justified in getting revenge against Chad, Sonny and everyone else for messing up his one, real chance at happiness.

Frankly, I don't see how.  Perhaps, if Will were to die off-screen, or if Sonny were to receive a "Dear John" letter from him, I could see Sonny turning to drugs or drink in order to numb the pain.  But you know what would be weird?  If it were Leo, of ALL people, to help Sonny beat his addiction and get sober again.  It'd show a surprisingly human side to Leo's nature and possibly lay the groundwork for Leo/Sonny Part Deux.

Agreed.  Again, I don't really care about Leo, but there are definite layers there with his abusive father and finding love with an older man and a chance at redemption.  But, nope, just scheming away for money..

ZT played Sonny really hopped up today. I could see a progression of Sonny staying in Salem and being lonely without Will and turning to booze at first to relax and then it escalates.  I wouldn't mind an addiction story and if Chandler isn't available I wouldn't be against Leo having a heart and helping.  I also want some Leo and John scenes.  I liked them when he thought Leo was his son.

So, how is Eli doing? Now that Kayla no longer serves as the Chief of Staff at Salem Hospital, has Eli been transferred to another hospital where he can get the proper care that he needs? How are Lani and Valerie handling all of this? Paulina and Lani briefly text each other now and then, but Chanel had to talk to her mom about Allie and how she got dumped not only once but twice in the span of 2 to 3 months by "two different people." Doug and Julie haven't bothered to talk about Eli either. I don't know about you all, but I think they secretly visit him at the hospital, but we don't know. Likewise, the same as Belle and Shawn when they have private conversations with one another, and we're clueless. 

Is TC Coates (who's a big fan of fries with mayonnaise) still snorting heroin? How's the devil possession movie coming along? What is Abe doing to save Paulina from TC Coates? Is the new actress (who has a past with TC) sinking her teeth in the meaty Celeste Perrault role? Is EJ, TC, Susan, or Marlena looking for Johnny? Wait. Are they trying to pull our legs by doing this in private?

A couple of weeks ago, Leo and Craig had scenes where they were dining out and Leo kept encouraging Craig to “live” and order decadent food (steak, and so on). It totally reminded me of Maureen Stapleton’s character in Interiors when she’s telling her fiancé’s daughters over dinner how she’s been widowed twice all the while encouraging their father to indulge in gravy and cheesecake as ya only live once. She’s colorful (literally) and “fun” a la Leo, Nancy and Geraldine Page’s character in Interiors sharing the duped and rejected role as first and now no-longer-thrilling unwanted wife.

I was thinking about the original demonic possession and I think of it as a virus that attacked one person only & caused plenty of trouble for multiple persons as a result of it but that it wasn't contagious. And then I think of this version as Covid-aware & highly contagious & infecting multiple persons & I hated the different voices in Johnny. They seemed so silly. Now Sarah is a child & she again seems silly to me.

I hated the whole deal with the Parole Board pressuring relatives to take in a parolee. Just a cheap writer's trick to create automatic tension & conflict. I'm just so uncomfortable with a convicted pedophile sneaked in among normal people. And I have a pet peeve about bad Southern accents. I think they make the people using them seem stupid. And I think the accent James Reade is using is pitiful. Altho' it does fit with the name Clyde.

I miss Hope. I think there's a glaring hole where she should be at times. Elsewhere I saw a poster claim that Ken Corday promised KA that Hope would not be recast. Evah! Of course that could just be gossip. They say, the oft noted they, that it was Corday's request that the show revisit the demonic possession. More that could be gossip.

I still can't stand Gwen. And, I still dislike Leo altho' I love Greg Rikaart.

Let's hope for better days!

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
