How about not suggesting anything to Josh?

I completely about her breast cancer story…we should be thankful that the Pandemic break essentially killed it. 
 

I do think Sharon could have at least befriended Diane to give her something more to do as a talk to Diane and actually be the one person in town friendly to Diane. After all Sharon herself was pretending to be dead around the same time Diane had passed, had her own turbulent past with Jack and Phyllis, and both of them are arsonists. Otherwise Sharon is pretty much a modern day Aunt Liz from Another World at Crimson Lights.

I admit to feeling disappointed, but I think I see it a little bit different than the rest of you all.

 

I really cannot believe that Nate confessed already. Nate vs Devon has really been the storyline. And it had the potential to be a real umbrella story with everyone that it dragged in. The reason he did...his love for Elena...seems plausible BUT the execution was just flat after the buildup. It really could and should (and spoilers seem to hint it is not over) until at least November Sweeps. Unless now the storyline is going to turn into a Tucker story...

 

As for Tucker...Yeah, I can see it with him and Ashley. But I'll take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her.

 

Was not expecting Adam to trick Sally into a date. When it comes to revenge, I would have expected anything, but that. Nice that his talk with Tucker made him take a softer approach.

Nate vs Devon is my favorite story on the show. The Winters/Barbers/Hastings haven’t had a story this juicy in a long time. Lily saying to Billy I thought we were different from the Abbott’s and Newman’s filled me with joy because they are finally giving this younger generation of the Winters/Barbers/Hastings the type of writing the Newman and Abbott kids constantly get.

Although you're right about Devon's hypocrisy, overall I thought the writing/logic for Devon was much stronger than it was for Nate.

Nate's "No one listened to me" is a really lame comment from someone in a business like C-W, and expecting to make autonomous moves is ridiculous on its face. Likewise, Nate lost me when he made a case that Devon's relationship with Neil was the problem -- I honestly could not follow that logic at all.

Devon not only had the obvious arguments on his side, but the writers gave him good dialogue. I don't think they fared nearly as well with Nate with one exception: when Nate talked about how Devon stole his life and career as a surgeon when he messed up his hand.

It really has been a minute since they had a juicy story.

 

And it all started with Nate and Elena sleeping together and Nate losing his hands...so to speak. And regardless of what Nate or even Devon have said...the subtext just seems to be there in the face. All we need is a Olivia visit but alas...

Hmmm...is that some chemistry I just saw between Victoria and Nate?

 

I'm always done for some feuding so Sally vs Summer could be something if her and Nick become serious. And thank you, Cameraman for 10-17.

It's funny it's been mentioned in the threads that CBS has been having promos/episodes being posted wrong. My tv system has been all over the place with what is airing and deleting episodes at chucks even when the episode just aired a day ago rather than its usual up for a week time. So in the interest of specific scenes I wanted to see, I'm caught up to this week. lol. 

 

LOVED the Nate vs Devon fight in the apartment. I loved that they had it all out. And it felt like it was ALL out...besides letting Devon know that VICTORIA was behind the takeover...and I've been saying that it goes all the way back to Nate, Elena, and Devon hurting his hand. Just...hmmmm. Yeah, they both had points, but what IT REALLY WAS ABOUT WAS THE FACT ELENA LEFT YOU FOR HIM AND YOU KILLED HIS CAREER. If anything they could have gone deeper with the resentment on both ends. 

 

THANK YOU, CAMERAMAN.

 But lord...Adam and Nick on the roof was just par the course. I do admit though I am curious at how messy this will get. Especially now that Victoria is throwing Nate into all the work drama. She's single, too, so...

 

So about that next turn in Diane's story...so basically it was Tucker that got us her return because he set her and Keemo/Allie on a collision course with each other which would lead back to her return and a chance to get Tucker closer to Ashley? Did I get that right? I liked seeing JH...though I cannot remember if it was mentioned that when the Feds started to close in if he was arrested. Perhaps he will pop up again as well. I have liked that slowly but surely the Abbots are learning about what they think Diane is up to.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about the takeover story now that the best part of it (Nate vs Devon) might not be a part of it going forward. It sounds like Victoria is still going to go after it. And Tucker is waiting in the wings...though he claimed to Devon he wouldn't.

 

Speaking of Tucker...I like that Allie is trying to be the bigger person, but she clearly is going to have to give Audra a good Ashley Abbott-style slap. 

 

Hmmmmm...Jill. She was great on the computer screen, but she is overdue to fire back in town. 

 

And just to add to the set conversation on the other page...in terms of Crimson Light...I wouldn't mind it being used like how Jabot kids and teenagers use to use it for a hangout. But of course we would need kids or teenagers running around, but alas...

It’s amazing how much more interested I am in Tucker now that an actor I actually have enjoyed for many years is in the role, age appropriate or not. I’ve never been emotionally attached to Stephen Nichols on DAYs and his Tucker was so unmemorable that I blanked out everything about his run outside of being Devon’s dad and Katherine’s son.

TSJ plays seething anger so well and can switch it on and off so well. The scenes with Diane at Crimson Lights with Diane were captivating today.

    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
