I predicted this crap 2 months ago I believe. That's all they do with Stacy. Either Stacy dresses like Susan or she wears a fake mask. Yeah, is that all you got, sis? Big whoop. 

She needs something different to do. Hopefully,

with Megan coming back

Kristen will play a part in that storyline.

This is common with Ron and it's also what he's tried to do with Leo, Gwen, etc. and characters on his other shows (hence the attempts at cockeyed redemption arcs for Leo and Gwen which deliberately try to drag down more conventional protagonists to compare unfavorably with them). It's why they're trying to pair Leo with Sonny too. 'The love of a good man.'

It's not like that kind of story in soaps with reformed antagonists or schemers is not as old as the hills, BTW. That in and of itself is not a bad trope. But it's how Ron does it - and how far he takes them both before the 'redemption' and after, while vacillating and wanting the character both ways - that always wrecks the execution. And frankly Kristen cannot and should not be redeemed IMO.

Agreed.

He does take them too far, and because of that, I don't really care what happens to any of them. Leo, Kristen, Gwen, Ava, Gabi, even Allie lol I'm tired of all of them.

I liked Gwen as I thought she was nice, but then, seeing her live in that meth motel with the ship painting and tacky wood wall paneling, I immediately lost interest in the character. For the love god, that room even had a 4-inch full-size foam mattress topper that was placed on top of a king-sized bed. Tack-o-rola.

So EJ and Nicole was a fake-out?

Idk if I like that or dislike that.

It was Nicole's nightmare only.

SOD put on their cover "Nicole sleeps with EJ".  Not true!
SOD gave their article the title "Nicole wakes up in bed with EJ".  Not true!

Well, it's not the first time SOD's made a mistake 😂😂

So, Cass left Bay City and become the Salem City Council President. I hope he's still married to Lila 😂

I have to admit Eric and Sloan have chemistry. And I do like that they drew a parallel between the two of them over them both losing something that meant so much to them.

A good episode overall, but who the hell wrote Rafe and Jada's scenes today? Half the time I was cringing.

Does that mean the Salem City Council President looks just like Julie's half-brother Steven Olsen?

Hmm.. Should we be looking for Stephen Schnetzer in the background of any DAYS actors' social media postings on set? We know how Carlivati works... 

Cass Winthrop... so random. Sometimes these things can be clever, and sometimes they feel like bad fan fiction and they mean nothing in the Days universe. 

The Cass Winthrop reference was the level of "in-joke" that works for me. If you caught it and got the reference, it was a fun little treat. If you didn't, it was just a name said in passing. At least they didn't bring the scene to a screeching halt like they usually do so that Abe and Paulina could have a random, ridiculous discussion of how Cass used to work in Bay City and had done business in Oakdale and Springfield and, oh, remember that lady Felicia he used to hang out with...?

She's Messed, but the actress is good and I must admit she has charisma, but she Killed Doctor Laura, I couldn't like Gwen since then

I meant to put a comment under the pics but I guess I didn't. 

It's just interesting to see the stills/screencaps.  In his youth, GV was a model, and he seems to still know how to pose.  But that's how it looks when you freeze the frame and there is no sound - I don't think he intended it that way, LOL.  He can't help being gorgeous in the stills.

But I realize he was acting the role of a hungover angry man. And when I watch the episodes this week I see someone who is just angry and spiteful, which I hadn't expected from Eric.  I found it sad to watch, but GV said an interview that he wanted that type of challenge.

It is interesting that in contrast to Sami and Brady, Eric seems isolated from his mother and father.

Has he told Roman or Marlena about the abortion, or his troubles with Nicole, or even that he was arrested? 

Brady would have been crying in John's chest all week. I mean they can't even get Brady to move out of the penthouse for more than a few months at time.  Meanwhile, Eric doesn't seem that close to his parents.

Good point.  Although, I have never felt Eric was super close to Marlena or Roman.  Maybe it's because GV never truly clicked with them and Eric was gone for so long.  We watched Carrie/Sami/Belle/Brady grow up or at least watched their teen years.  Eric showed up as an adult and has always felt more removed and independent from his family.  I don't even buy his bond with Sami.   I'd almost say it's part of his character, but I doubt the writers have that depth.
