I found out about the preemptions on November 12, which is the day I posted about it on the web. I'm guessing the people at Days probably found out a little sooner than that. They were taping April at that point, so they would have written through some point in May at that point So this was always the time frame where the episodes would get back on track.

When I saw Steve and Kayla's crib, I thought they lived in the same building as John and Marlena as some model units look the same, so I wasn't sure. Then, I saw that small hallway, and I had a flashback of John's exorcism kit he has somewhere stashed on one of those shelves, lol!

I'm a Gwen fan through thick and thin. I don't think that Emily O'Brien has been given any meaty material lately. The same can be said for all the actors, lol! It's not just Emily O'Brien. I don't enjoy criticizing actors, and I hope it doesn't come across that way. But when I see some lousy acting, I call it out. I've always been like that. Perhaps Boatman and Wilson are the nicest people on the planet, but they're both terrible on the show. I think I briefly spoke negatively about Marci Miller, but she is a great actress and wonderfully talented. However, I'm not too fond of her take with Abigail Devereaux because what Abigail needs right now is a big fat lip. Perhaps that is my reasoning for liking Gwenyth. Emily O'Brien's performance this past Thursday with Paul Telfer (5/12) left me breathless (although I would have preferred for Gwenyth to let Zander have it). Still, I'm curious because I thought the spoilers for Gwyneth were going to be different, but I'll tune in for this.

It's nice to see the meddling mother hens of Salem find a truce somehow. On the Horton side of town, you've got Julie, while on the Dimera side, you've got Anna. Last but not least, on the Kiriakis side, you've got Maggie. Although we already knew Maggie pressing charges against Anna for what she did to Sarah was bogus, it's nice to see the meddling mother hens of Salem unite. I'm kidding. Maggie, Anna, and Julie are annoying AF.

So, the first time Charlie rose from the grave, he looked like Beetlejuice, but the second time he rose from the grave, he was clean as a whistle with waxed done eyebrows. I'm glad this storyline is coming to a closure, but there's still a lot of mess to digest in the town of Salem.

I might be in the minority, but I thought today's show was pretty good.   A little weird it was on a Monday and not a Friday though.  Not going to spoil since everyone hasn't seen it, but I was entertained.  I'd go as far as saying it was one of the better shows in recent memory even with the Devil stuff.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Jdee43 · Posted

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
