Did anyone catch the names on the plaques in the DiMera crypt?

Just a quick note:

The single best thing about today's show - Thursday 5/26/22 is Eric's slightly glistening naked bulging biceps!! I mean - seriously - yummy!!

Only DAYS would have a character pass out due to poisoning on a Tuesday, then not follow up on it until Friday. Who's idea was it to have Sonny passed out on the floor for 3 days? 

They need to change the pacing so that 1 day in Salem isn't stretched out over a week. It should be 1 -2 episodes max unless it's a big event like a wedding.

Side note:  My mom loves to recall the time she and her mom were watching a soap called Somerset in the 70's, and they went on vacation for 2 weeks right when a character was shot dead and fell behind a couch out of sight. They thought for sure they'd be so out of the loop with the storyline when they returned, but as it turned out, 2 weeks later and the people of Somerset still had yet to discover the body!

IMO, maybe it would have been better if Lani had blocked out the memory of shooting TR. I don’t like the way Paulina’s being sent up the river 

[Soapsuds]

Douglas Marland would do this as well on ATWT back in the 80s.

I think it's more frustrating on Days because of how poorly written the soap is. Viewers like you and others are looking for something good to watch on a continuous basis. Viewers see a story that might have potential but its not on daily and then there's frustration.

I have zero faith in the Sonny story considering it features Leo who I loathe and it's being written by a horrible HW with a terrible track record.

Chandler looks so good!

Will be watching later when it airs here.

Glad to hear that he will be on Tuesday's episode too.

Ugghhh

Ok, how many men has Leo sexually assaulted now? Uncle Ron sure loves to shoot himself in the foot. 

[Soapsuds]

Carlivati is a very sick human being.

This is the best storyline he can come up with for a returned Sonny?

[Faulkner]

What’s with his fascination with rape? I wish he would create some rules for himself. No masks. No non-consensual sex (or situations where someone questions whether they’ve been violated when they were unconscious). No DID. He’s so lazy.

This whole Sonny and Leo story is an example of something where I think the idea was great, but the execution of it poor. 

I could totally get into Sonny coming back to town and seeking revenge on Leo for what he did years ago. I was fine with the idea of Sonny being obsessed about it to the point it might start harming his marriage, but one the first major mistakes was when it came down to blowing apart Leo and Craig, they had Sonny go MIA and it was Chad that showed up at the wedding. Should have been Sonny. 

Then the current phase, Leo making an enemies list and seeing counter revenge, once again, sounds like a good idea that I'd be interested in seeing, but his revenge against Sonny was both problematic and stupid. 

First, while I'm fairly certain no sex actually took place, drugging someone, stripping them naked, then sending pictures to a gossip site, is both assault and revenge porn. Unless you are going to treat it as such and write it in a serious way, those kinds of plots need to be left in the past. They aren't acceptable in 2022. 

It's also dumb. What's Leo's aim? Sonny already figured out he was drugged, which I'm sure he'll tell Will, so Will is likely to only believe Leo's story in the Intruder for maybe all of 5 minutes. There's a million other better or interesting things they could have had Leo to do Sonny.

The best part of Friday's show was Will and of course Sonny. 

I guess the wardrobe department had to buy a new suit for Zach. He looked good in the suit.

When Will first appeared I thought he had a man purse. Nope it was satchel bag for his laptop.
