So, it looks like Days is back to being uploaded at 6 AM. Hopefully, Peacock fixes it. 

As for today, I didn’t like seeing EJ so stupid. The EJ we’ve watched for years would have known from the very beginning that Stefan had managed to switch the glasses. Not a good look for him.  

I did like Tripp not taking crap from anybody. He still has the best chemistry with Wendy. 

As for Alex and Gwen and the writing, I understand it. We’ve all lusted for straight guys

 But does this guy seriously think that if he keeps writing RSW and his characters this way that he’ll somehow get in his pants?? I mean, come on.

I noticed they delayed the upload. I skimmed through the first couple of minutes and noticed Tripp was on. The rest of the show looks dreadful like last week.

I'm rewatching some BS2 the Paul and Andrew scenes for Thursday return.

So are they just throwing RSW at anyone and hope one of these pairings works out?  He's been with 5 different women since he debuted.  His love for Stephanie clearly knows no bounds.

Maggie making Zander part of Titan is idiotic.  Alex might not be wrong about her being in charge.

How many clauses are in Li's agreement with Gabi?  He said not sleeping with someone else was clause 2.6.  What the heck? That sounds like a very wordy contract.  Plus, It's so exciting to watch them have the same conversation over and over again as well.  

I have nothing to say about the Stefan/EJ nonsense.  I honestly couldn't keep up with all the glasses switching today.  I still don't understand why those two just don't make their own drinks and keep them in their hands or just not drink at all.   I personally feel like I am dumber now after watching that entire sequence of events today.

Tripp/Wendy/Johnny was pretty good.  I can understand why Johnny didn't think stealing Tripp's badge was a big deal, but it was very serious to Tripp.  Tripp showed restraint by not telling Li to shove it after he asked Tripp to take the couch to save money.  Why are all the doctors on this show poor or assumed to be poor lol?  I am sure Tripp can easily afford 1 room in a 3 bedroom apartment on his salary.

The only point I would make in fairness about the silly living situation in Salem is that they work in a university-based hospital where salaries are much lower than in a private healthcare system.

That being said, the weird nepotism of Sarah and Tripp being hired mid-semester simply because their family worked in the hospital is far more unrealistic.

I just don't understand why they are making EJ dumb.   He's not dumb.  Nicole's not dumb.  Why did they continue the dinner for hours when it was clear that something was off?

The last several years have made me feel dumber, but sometimes it's silly and laughable dumb.  This was like a weird teenage game these two 45 years were doing and I am supposed to think they run a billion dollar company lol.

    • I've watched more episodes, but I wanted to make one short comment before I made my longer post. Someone on the show loves dressing men in ways where they have plunging necklines and show lots of chest hair. Not complaining but I think Chief Marceau (sp?) and Logan are the only two who have not shown their chest hair at this point. I have now watched episodes 6077 to 6090. I'm up to September 11, 1979. Nancy and Mike have returned from their vacation. Ann Flood is another wonderful presence. She's only had a few scenes, but I already like her. They're worrying about Draper and his lost job offer in New York. The truth is slowly coming out. I can't say that I'm invested all that much. I still don't care all that much about Draper, but he's no longer bellowing and whining so it's all good. He has had some nice scenes with April and there was an uncomfortable confrontation with Margo. Draper and Logan's scenes are where I like him the best. The two actors play well off each other. Also, Draper and Raven have an interesting thing in scenes. I wonder if they hook up at some point. They always give each other weird looks during scenes. Is this foreshadowing? Hmmm. The Raven of it all. MY word Sharon Gabet is amazing. How did she not win the Emmy? Was this going on during the Judith Light time? Gabet owns every scene. Raven and Eliot's scenes crack me up. Gabet and Lois Kibee are giving masterclass acting scenes in their moments together. I never wanted their confrontations to end. Kibbee's Geraldine has discovered Raven doing something she should not be doing and that confrontation was pitch perfect. The later scene with Logan was shocking. He does something that I've rarely seen on soaps. Such good storytelling and acting. I also liked how April and Draper were drawn into the madness.  Paige/Tobias/kidnapping/Steve: This is the one storyline that suffers because I came into the show late. I'm not connecting to it as much although I enjoy it. Steve and his low cut shirt amuse me. Calvin is such a cute and bright presence. I thought they were writing him off, but he's back  so apparently not. Marceau seems to be leaving but I hope not. The actor is wonderful. Deborah has come back in the episode I just started so Frances Fisher is here. I will say the actor playing Tobias is excellent. I think he was on another ABC show I watched but I'm not googling.  Nora/Owen/Eddie/Brian/Paige: After a week of non-stop Nora, the movie storyline has not started full force yet. It's more about Nora's drinking and Brian and Paige's feelings for each other. Nora is becoming more manipulative as she lies to all of them so they will make the movie. Owen revealed Brian's secret which I accidentally guess from the first episode, but I actually don't think it's true. Eliot/Margo: Margo had a fantastic scene with April where April confronted her about the real relationship she has with Eliot. Mario admitted the truth. It's so refreshing when characters are intelligent and honest. It makes their mistakes even more heartbreaking. They're not idiots. Eliot is such a fabulous character. He's an absolute slime and yet he's one of the most compelling characters on the show. So nice to be hooked into a soap opera again.  
    • Joss can go, permanently; killed off, body bag and all, and never ever return.

    • I was under the impression that it is always wrong to post private email unless there is some threat of bodily harm. But I think your doing so brings up an interesting point since it shows that I had known about the illness/disease since the prior April if I am wrong & you are right & my point was to break the news why didn't I post it ages ago? My reply is that my point was never about scoop or breaking news.  Somewhere in this onslaught you've said I posted about some actors having an affair. I have zero idea what or who you're talking about.  You mention a cast member's medical condition which about a dozen people discussed & someone NOT ME began the discussion at least a month before I joined it.  Is everyone who took part in that conversation based on having concern for the actress in trouble or just me? There are definitely things that are not true ... and they are not lies told by me. Probably they are things being misremembered. 
    • Lol.  I still believe there is a place for Joss on the canvas.  This just isn't it and I am not sure Eden McCoy is the right choice for the role.
    • I haven't read it since high school--but it has stuck with me and is a pretty important book (as a kid I did always assumed it was related to the Wells work too

    • I am entertained by the Duprees.
    • This would be a weird comment to make about the face of the show if it wasn't damn accurate. In the 90s she was mostly confined to her own orbit with her daughters and Cass, aside from a few stories. Her relationship with Rachel was pretty weird too. A case of tell not show. They seemed to be there for each other at big moments (weddings, funerals, etc.) and proclaim how close they were, but rarely interacted outside of those. I only remember one storyline they had together - the Lucas lookalike - but that was more about their significant others' animosity if I'm remembering correctly. In hindsight, it was pretty strange how little Rachel, Felicia & Donna - all around the same age give or take - had to do with each other for the last decade. The actresses were all top-10 in longevity for the entire show and made it to the finish line, but never meaningfully mixed it up at the end. Even Donna dating Rachel's son didn't lead to many interactions between those 2. I can understand JFP's reasoning for getting rid of Donna, even if I didn't agree with it (she was my favorite of the 3).
    • The people of Genova should all be 300lb. All they do is hangout and restaurants 
    • It's called being pro-active.. something that soap operas have failed to do in the last twenty to twenty five years. The Duprees are not a compelling family.. .a lot of telling and not showing.  I'm actually more invested in the non-Dupree characters then the Duprees right now.
