Days of Our Lives: May 2022 Discussion Thread

[AbcNbc247]

Why are Shawn and Belle acting like Jan holds all the cards? They really need to tell this girl that they’re the bosses in this whole mess.

But overall, I really enjoyed today too. It reminded me of Passions, in the years that it was good lol and I really liked the parallels that were drawn between Tripp and John, back when he fought MarDevil in the morgue during the original possession. And I’ll say it again: Tripp may be boring, but he’s definitely the type of guy that you would spend the rest of your life with

I see Soap Twitter isn’t a big fan of him though

Plus, I see Ron borrowed my idea about borrowing from the end of The Exorcist

And, welcome back, Bo. We’ve missed you

I like Tripp. Somebody needs to be a more normal even keel. Not everyone can be all over the place.

I tweeted Bo today. He tweeted back. He said he was nervous!

I'm 7 minutes into today's show and I am laughing so hard at these special effects with Ciara. What the hell am I watching?

Today's show was pure garbage! The acting was horrible. The ending with Tripp was laughable. It reminded me of......

Today was awful and I say that as a Days apologist.

[Soapsuds]

Bo ghost eh...I'm not here to see Bo prop the serial killer.

[Contessa Donatella]

So it was awful but you're sorry that it was awful? LOL!

I'm no help. I just watched Friday's. DOOL has a 7 month lag time. I have a day lag time. Maybe tomorrow this time I'll be thinking how awful Monday's show was!

Idk, I get why most of you didn't like it, but the Possession ending, Ciara/Ben getting their stupid kid back, Tripp throwing himself out a window, Jan wanting to name her kid Britney Spears, and GhostBo?  Any one of those things would be a highlight in a normal episode lol.

I thought it was one of the better possession episodes, though the special effects were horrendous. At least things were happening today. 

[Soapsuds]

OMG...they are already taping Christmas episodes.

I agree.

I'm watching right now on Peacock and those were my exact words.

If I remove myself from the show's history and take these episodes at face value, I can see how teens would enjoy it the same way they enjoyed Passions (as someone mentioned upthread) and shows on Disney. I'm all for the idea that there's several ways to be a soap. But I do realize how frustrating it is for loyal viewers to see the identities of their shows change so drastically. I went through it with AMC and OLTL.

I'm also very against naming that baby Bo. I say this as one of many relatives (including my own dad) named after my great-grandfather, but soaps (especially B&B) do this to death. It's particularly egregious when a baby is named after an iconic character like Bo. Thank G-d Kendall nor Bianca never named a daughter Erica, I would have been sick.

And his name will be Bo Weston. Sounds like one of the Dukes.

Well, we spoke up for Tripp just in time to lose him! I suppose it is worth it to be shed of the devil. If I never have to hear the words, "THE DEVIL" Muah ha ha, again it will be too soon. I just had to go ahead & watch today. I'll just be a day behind on GH this week. So, what did I think? Honestly, I am so glad to see this day come that I just feel like having a good stretch & falling asleep calm, where after watching DOOL I am usually tense. Watching especially Ciara, half the time garish & half the time really pretty & soft lit, I am well pleased. Now Ava has no sons. Salem took them both from her.
