This the non-spoiler thread, so I will say only that something in tomorrow Tuesday July 12 episode might remind viewers of someone/something from that place.

Nope and if I did I didn't notice.

I usually don't pay attention to them or I go to the kitchen for a drink.

This was cute. I really enjoy the intention and the history-loving energy they having going -- I just wish they'd scale back on the inside joke stuff by 50% or so. 

Megan's re-entrance, for a relatively nothing character who has not been mentioned in a meaningful way in almost 40 years, was pretty well done!

That was fine. They're all fine in isolation. I just feel like they club us over the head with them, and I was watching with my fiancé, who soaks up a lot of Days because of me but isn't a fan, and those things almost always strike him as weird little moments that take him out of the narrative if he's gotten into it. I think a few are fun, for sure, but they sometimes create entire scenes out of them when a quick throwaway line would work.

Also the new Joey... is kind of hot? Wasn't expecting that.

Well, then, okay, I'm sorry that they overdo it! Nobody likes to be overstimulated in certain ways. And, too much of good thing, well, it's still too  much! Hope you can shake it off!

Yeah, I thought Joey is a nice looking lad. Good voice, too.

Your fiance' has my sympathies. Sitting through their stories with our loved ones can be trying, I believe.

My favorite line of the day was when Steve asked John WHAT is that in your hair?! Just the way John said GLITTER brooked NO teasing, like Glitter, wanna make something of it?!

I liked the living room furniture in Tripp's apartment as well as the actress who's playing the role of Stephanie. It's weird how a little fire that came out of a pizza box could do that much facial damage to Stephanie making her look like a Thundercat while it leaves Steve, Kayla, Tripp, and Joey unscathed. Also, Kayla didn't seem at all bothered that her husband has been kidnapped, lol!

 Perhaps we'll see some grief now that Stephanie has woken up from the hospital bed.

Was the living room table in Paul's apartment made out of cardboard? That had to be the most flimsiest kind of material I've seen in a long time. Paul should invite John to Folsom Street Fair in September for some lovely festivities. John and Paul's clean-up party seemed kind of like Jack and Grace's good ol' fashioned "Folding Party" on Will & Grace (S05E21 - Dolls and Dolls). Although the physical altercation between Paul and Harris Michaels was a little cheesy, I still had to bare in mind the set is small, but why did Paul have to check on John like that? Dude. Seriously. It's a Michael Myers opportunity just waiting to happen, but you're getting clocked over the head by a light-weight kegger instead.  

It's nice to know that televisions are in heaven for entertainment. I've always been wondering about that. It's very reassuring to know as we spy on our loved ones while they privately masturbate on Earth. No, but is angel Bo supposed be a "rebel" or a "misfit toy" in heaven? And if we're seeing angel Bo, then where's angel Zack? I know angel Zack has made some brief appearances in 2008 and 2016. However, I think I already see the predictable direction of where this is going minus the masturbation. I keep forgetting that Peter Reckell is 5'3". I would love to see him in a scene with Dan Feuerriegel. 

And I'm so sorry, but I'm confused about the one-year thing. Could someone help me out as to why I'm having such confusion? I know we were one year ahead when Jennifer woke up from her coma, but I don't remember the outcome of that one-year ahead storyline. Well, I guess we're still one-year ahead, right? But, when Harris Michaels shot the two dudes on an inflatable boat, that occurred one-year ago on the Mediterranean? So, did we immediately jump into the present when Hope met Ciara, Ben, and baby Bo on the Montreal loading docks? Also, in a stretch of two-days, I do find it weird how baby Bo jumped from a newborn to a 1-Year old? No. 4 to 6 or 7 to 9 month old baby? I'm confused to this timeline. Wait. We have to be in the present because when John was talking to MarDevil on the phone, he wished Lucas and Sami the best on their wedding day.

Last but certainly not least, how does one travel on a boat from Salem, U.S.A. to Montreal, Canada? Do you go from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron? Then, from Lake Huron to Lake Erie? Oh, I see. There's the Welland Canal that takes you from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Then at the end of Lake Ontario, the water current flows upstream to Montreal. Okay. I got it. But, baby Bo don't grow up fast like that. It's not like Ben and Ciara were sailing the Orient.

Of course! And, I'm spreading the seeder love. So far, 14 leechers are trying to download episode one. I believe in the fruitful love of giving. Oh, you're right about another episode. I just didn't know if Peacock was releasing the episodes on a weekly or daily basis.

I'm not downloading so I have no seeding & no leeching. I'm just streaming with a dose of binging in for good measure.

It is interesting that heaven has the same tech as earth! I bet they get the best prices.

Is Loretta Devine an award winner? She seemed out of place to me. And, isn't it just really inconsiderate for Sami & Lucas to wed today when we're all so busy?! I don't know what to think about Lucas confessing instead of just keeping his blackout drunk to himself! Maybe his guilt is not enough to sustain him. Is Peter Reckell really 5'3"?

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
