Sheila plans to hide out at Bill's house?  That would explain why Bill was so afraid and didn't want Katie to leave, and he felt something awful would happen.  It seemed he was having an emotional breakdown. He thought the sword necklace was causing supernatural problems. But maybe he was psychically sensing that he was in real danger - from Sheila?  Right after Katie leaves, Sheila shows up outside his house.

Bill's scenes from the past few days have been odd. Don Diamont was quoted in SOD a couple of weeks ago - DD said that Bill is afraid of being enveloped by darkness and wonders if the sword necklace will keep him strong against it.  It was weird to read.  And his scenes have been weird to watch.  I wondered if this would be about a midlife depression crisis or a bipolar diagnosis.

But I didn't know whose house Sheila had arrived at, until I read the post from @dragonflies .

Okay so now I'm wondering if the show is trying to do some "good and evil" thing ... His recent scenes with Katie were about him trying to be "good" -- and Katie not believing that it's feasible that he could stay good.  And then Sheila arrives.

And funny how Taylor's premeditated shooting just got swept under the rug by all 3 families. Bizarre how Sheila's impulsive shooting, which was a a terrible plot point, is somehow irredeemable, but $B's attempted murder is not. 

Did we ever find out if Sheila actually has money or was that just sweet talk to get Deacon's help?

I still question what happened to Bill and Li, it is odd that they weren't given any time to develop their relationship, because for once it was a fresh pairing on B&B.  Especially now with this Sheila drama, it would be nice to give Li some vengeance.

I only half pay attention while this show is on. Didn't Sheila get stuck in traffic with the cop right behind her? Why didn't he just shoot out her tires while she as stopped? The whole sequence was ridiculous. And I still can't get over the stupidity of Sheila wearing open toed shoes after cutting off her own toe to make everyone think she's dead. Brad Bell's father wrote Sheila so much smarter than this.

MA acted CIRCLES around that scene with AN, she chewed the scenery big time. Dramatic stories are not her forte

Matt is good but you’ve gotta be smoking if you think he did better in that scene than An. Annika is a better actress than Jacqui. Jacqui overdoes hand gestures and she can’t even control her facial expressionsObjectively AN is better and more refined, and anyone who doesn’t keep up with the show and has no faves would agree lol.

Thank you.  I read these arguments about who is better and I'm like...neither?  Annika is terrible.  The best actress on this show was Susan Flannery and there's never been much else honestly other than Heather Tom and her crying.  KKL does fine/pretty good.  I would say the current Taylor Krista?? Holds her own and is decent.  The rest of the cast is pretty much blah.  Don Diamont is in Ron Moss territory.  Not quite as bad because he's not so monotone.

    • 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.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
