My problem with Eric/Nicole is that the fundamental issue they broke up over (the fact that Nicole has to pretend to be a better person than she is to meet Eric's expectations) hasn't changed.  Eric just decided he wants her back now.  The same issues are still there.  There is no major growth from either of them.  The only difference is Greg Vaughn is on the show lol.  I like Eric and Nicole fine.  It's just nothing hasn't happened to make me believe this time will have a different outcome.

What an odd assortment of characters at the wedding who were going to swear to never tell that Lani killed Ray.  Some of those people have never even spoken to Lani!!

Does either character have a job?  Wasn't Eric just fired from the church and when was the last time Nicole went to the office?

Maybe these 40something characters should start focusing on earning a living and stop swooning like high school teens?

I mean where's the character growth?  He's still trying to save misbegotten women only to berate them for their indiscretions and she's still trying to avoid being abandoned after her 27th relationship with everyone from a priest to the former mayor.

I honestly don't know what Eric does for a living outside of being a priest.  I know he was a photographer, but I thought he just sorta helped people around town lol.  At least Eric lives at the Pub for free and is not another boarder in John/Marlena's apparently enormous townhouse.  Again I really don't mind Eric/Nicole as a couple, but nothing has changed for them to make this relationship work except Eric being physically in Salem. It's not anywhere near the worst thing happening on the show, but I actually am invested in these two characters and it's all very, very lazy.

Quite a unique journey you would not think happens in the world more than once let alone on a soap twice lol.  I think Eric would be well suited to be a counselor or something.  It seems to fit his experience and it runs in the family-and it would take away the fact that I think it's nearly impossible for someone to jump in and out of the priesthood the way Eric does.

Honestly, that's why I miss Marlena's old penthouse - at least you could conceivably believe it had a bunch of bedrooms. The current one just looks like a one bedroom apartment, so you wonder where the hell they all sleep.

Hi, there Paulina! Hey Abe, and hello to both of you, Eli and Lani! Hey! How's it going? Well, we haven't seen the likes of you since May 18th! I mean, with what we thought was sure to be a front-burner storyline with the murder of Mr. Zombie Mayonnaise Mayhem himself dressed in a Sears suit wound up dwindling to a "nothing burger." Why should we care when we have not seen these characters in over a month? Oh! Because it's Juneteenth? GTFOH. Yeah, let's push back this storyline and put these characters on hiatus for a while until Juneteenth. Meanwhile, let's also make Juneteenth educational for our lovely viewers who perhaps live on the outskirts of some po-dunk town with nothing better to do than hang out at their town's fresh produce and live bait shop. God bless Julie and Big Momma, lol! No, I am glad the writers put in some history reference, but it also felt like I was watching QVC at the same token as if they wanted me to purchase some form of merchandise.

From my perspective, I don't get this show's delivery with these storylines because they implode so disastrously. Seriously. They're so forgettable. Eli was in a coma and now walking in tip-top shape like nothing ever happened, and then Lani confessing to shooting Mr. Mayonnaise Mayhem in a Sears suit in just two episodes. Where's the delivery? Oh! And Chanel, Johnny, and Allie are acting like these cheesy teenaged characters from a low-budgeted afternoon show on the Disney Channel. I don't get why people are obsessed with Chanel. Is she like B&B's Paris? I don't understand what's so great about her. 

I'm still going to watch. Why? Because I'm addicted to messes.

      Last episode with Stephanie's script.

    • It is clear the secret involves some sort of roadside incident so it could have been a police stop. And tge Duprees support a police foundation could one of the clues that Martin's secret involves the police.
    • Hours later, I'm still wondering, what was EJ's plan in going to the hospital today? Does he think it's like a car dealership, and you can simply walk in and make an offer? That's why I laughed when Steve said that Dr. not-Rolf comes and goes.  One gets the sense the people in Salem randomly leave their offices, midday, to talk to relatives and co-conspirators.  I understand, they don't use the phone on soaps.  But, the amount of walking these citizens do in a day is remarkable.
    • Look how long it took to finally write Jack an age appropriate long term relationship with a woman he’s had history with since the damn 80’s. 
    • This Sarah/Xander Lake Geneva weekend getaway trip will either be where Xander finds out that Sarah knew about the Phillip situation, or an emergency happens that prevents them from going.  Brownie points for the Lake Geneva mention since that's the getaway for a lot of people that live in northern Illinois/Chicago. EJ is kinda hot... though I never thought that about him when the previous actor played him.  I do think a Dimera owning the hospital would be interesting since the Hortons/Brady's have always had a rivalry with the Dimeras... and carrying that over to the hospital would be organic.
    • In the "things you miss while FFing" category---that 'ho Lillian Raines wanted Ed to keep the affair up and sneak around? Flippin' WHAT THE HELL? Mo should've cut the bitch.
    • Absolutely. And I think Eden could play that in a reduced role, or until a recast comes round. I would easily give her a brainy comic love interest in the Spinelli vein regardless of who is playing Joss. I do think Eden works very hard, and can do certain things well. But I would at the least downshift her and then consider writing her out and bringing on someone else. She is not a lead.
    • I am a couple days behind, but is it just me or do some of the glimpses of Martin's nightmare look like a police traffic stop?  
    • IIRC, there was fan outcry when viewers realized Donna was going to be killed, although someone more in the know might have a better idea. Donna was always more popular with viewers than she probably should have been, which I credit Stuart for. I do agree she would have been easier to write out than Felicia or Rachel.  Cass and Donna dated briefly during the Malone run (late 1997). http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/cassd.html AW should have invested much more in Quinn than they did. All the pieces were in place for her to, at the very least, have a steady build in importance the way Jessica did on ATWT at that time. AW had moved away from usual patterns by bringing Henrietta and Quinn into the show to diversify the canvas. What always bothers me is the comment an AW person gave to SOD after fan complaints over Quinn's death - essentially, they did not know Quinn had any fans. Says it all.
    • I like that the Martin story hasn't been frequent.  The nightmares are airing only periodically.  Each time, we viewers see more of the accident or whatever happened.  I think we might (or at least I might) be annoyed if we saw the nightmares too often.  At this point, I've become more curious, and so, when it's finally revealed, I think the timing will be just right.
