Same with Zach Tinker. He's on contract and we barely see him. 

Who to blame? Ron Carlivati...

I feel like they use Sonny more than Lucas.

They needed to have Jake and Ava in each other's orbits from the very beginning. The pairing with Rafe was always DOA

The pairing with Rafe was always WTF?  They weren't good together, they had no chemistry, and Ava did nothing but cook pasta for him.

Ava and Jake were boring together.

I don't even think Ava/Jake had the chance to be boring together lol.  They have had about 15 scenes depicting their entire relationship lol.

My guess is, at the time, she was meant to be a spoiler for Rafe/Nicole and nothing more. I think it could have been a decent triangle if they had invested in both Rafe/Nicole and Rafe/Ava

Zach Tinker looks great in that suit!

I cringe at any attempt at Ron doing or mentioning a business story but I guess it's nice to see Sonny actually working.

I found today's episode just as dry as yesterday's. The mugger's facial expressions had me cracking up.

Today was boring. That bad boy thug didn't look to menacing. Days laid it thick with the foreshadowing to Jake's demise. Don't remember Jake being madly in love with Ava. Eric looks like his procuring rough trade in this pic.

You can take the boy out of the priest.....

I haven't even seen the episode yet, but the mugger already reminds me of that dorky mob guy last year. I get that these day player characters are meant to have exaggerated features since they're appearing briefly and they're not going to waste time diving into their psyche, but they could do with pulling it back a bit at least.

Gwen, Xander and Sarah boring mess

Fake Kristen gloating about a company she now runs which seems to have no office or clients.

A day player kills Jake.

Gabi and Sonny talk amounted to nothing.

The cliffhanger showing a close up of sweaty nude RSW with Sonny wondering who he is.

Ron Captivating truly sucks!

I'm a firm believer that one should always find something positive even if one is completely bored and indifferent at what you're watching. And I was truly bored and indifferent to today's show.

But here goes:

1. I highly enjoyed a barely dress Xander throughout the entire episode. Anytime we get a half-naked Paul Telfer on our screen is always a good thing!

2. Eric's naked biceps. Like fine wine Greg Vaughan gets better with age.

3. Despite the fact he was fully dressed in a pleasing suit, Sonny was still the hottest piece of male eye candy on today's screen. Zach Tinker's mere presence has given Sonny a character trait he never had when played by Freddie Smith - SEXY!! Even with the pornstache. LOL.

That's all Xander is used for.

I got to agree with this statement.

No truer a statement...and I have to say I'm grateful for it. LOL

I miss the days when soaps shamelessly, unapologetically and blatantly exploited the male body on a daily basis. In fact, soaps is the one genre in the entertainment field in which the male body is more exploited than the female body. At one time almost every soap had at least one male actor who sole reason for being hired because they had a fabulous rock-hard torso. LOL

I think it’s so crazy that they’re not connecting Abby and Jake’s deaths as a DiMera thing.  I will miss BB! 😍

Jake was boring and useless. They kept giving him the same gay porno scenes with serial killer Ben in that damn garage.😂

I like BB but damn was Jake boring.

Why were Kyle Lowder and Lucas Adams in the closing credits? I thought Lucas was gone.

And yeah, I'm totally not buying this Jake and Ava great love thing. Maybe if they hadn't rushed it, I would've felt differently. 

LMAO! 😄 How were Jake and Ava great loves? Seriously. All they did were back massages due to Jake's lower back pain, ate some scrambled eggs next to the bed, and they passed a roll of toilet paper to each other through the door in case one forgot to replace it. More importantly, they both held their breath while doing it because they didn't want to smell it. 💩
