Shawn-D is lucky to have married well.  He's a part-time beat cop who picks up a shift whenever he's in town and not being kidnapped. He's Victor's grandson but was never in contention for CEO, unlike his most of his second cousins.  And he lives in his mother's bedroom because he can't seem to afford his own place.

I mean he married Belle who sucks in general and also cheats on him once every few years, so I feel like he deserves whatever monetary support he gets from Belle.  At least he has a job.  In the mid 2000's he actually had a story about having no life direction or job (nor did Belle) and he worked at Max's garage or something and I think he actual did do a stint at Titan or attempted to.  Not as CEO, of course, but I don't think anyone has ever considered Shawn-D smart.

I don't mind him being a cop because of his parents, but I don't exactly think Belle or Shawn's careers make sense either.  Perhaps Shawn could own a garage or do something with boats? I don't buy Belle as a good lawyer and I actually liked when she decided she was going to become a nurse.  And then never mentioned it again and got written off...

I guess there's only so much you can do with a mechanic on a soap though, which is why people end up becoming a cop/lawyer/doctor. It would be interesting if they had pushed Shawn / Belle into a more lower middle class dynamic though as it could lead to different conflicts in their relationships, but it's been so long since DAYS (and in all honesty soaps in general) dealt with such matters.

Happy to see that Shawn and Belle were included in today’s episode. He needs to be a part of this storyline as much as anyone else does. 

As for Paul and Andrew, I’m glad that they’re taking a chance and becoming a couple, but at the same time, I feel like they rushed it a little. Let them have some angst first. They should have brought up a lot of aspects, like their hectic schedules, the fact that Andrew’s cousin was once the love of Paul’s life, etc. And it would have been so good if they had been about to kiss, then be interrupted by Hope’s call. Drag it out a little, then at the end of this whole caper, they could become a couple.

But I’m still glad lol I just hope that when it comes to love scenes that Colton doesn’t get the Zach Tinker treatment, like he did today

And of course, it was great seeing Bo. Figured he was under some kind of mind control. 

But while watching today, I just totally realized something. If the second chance that Bo got meant that time was altered and that Bo was never dead and in Heaven, then how would he have been able to bring Tripp back to life? Or give Ciara the strength to save the baby from the devil? Sounds like we have a Terminator paradox on our hands

Andrew was also Shane’s father name. He and Kim named him after their dads: Andrew Shawn.

Major goof-up in today's (3/17) episode, lol! Will they correct WHEN to do the ending credits? Actually, it was done twice. Glad I could still hear the audio during Marlena and Kayla's scene with Dr. Rolf toward the end. So wild. No, not the actual story itself. It's Peacock. Sloppy.

It happened exactly as you described. I kept thinking I must have a device glitch, or I need coffee! But then I saw your post, and then I noticed comments about this on twitter.

It's possible some viewers may have assumed the episode was over, and stopped watching when the "glitch-credits" began displaying, I sure hope that didn't happen, but who knows.
If anyone stopped watching, they would have missed that important Megan/Bo/Kate scene at the end.

Yeah, I had to rewind it two times to make sure I wasn't smoking crack. Hey, it happens. I was doing crack-like behavior but minus the jaw tweaking because that can be so brutal. And I love my cute teeth. But no, I had to rewind it twice. So wild. I was still intrigued though as I noticed today's episode seemed a little longer.

Yeah, Hope seemed devastated to hear about Marlena and Kayla and then managed to change the subject and make it all about herself, lol! I need to watch this again.

    • I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.

In the loving arms of his wife, Dr. Marlena Evans, John took his last breath at the end of the June 2 episode, after suffering devastating internal injuries during a lab explosion. The iconic character went out as he lived — a hero. Sensing the fans’ devastation on Monday, Marlena’s portrayer Deidre Hall posted this simple-but-powerful message to fans on Instagram: “I know. I know. Hardest day ever.”

    • Now coming into June...well...   I knew it was coming but I didn't like the start to the next round of Dani/Bill/Hayley. As the 3 A plots from the start of the show (The SilkPress storyline and Martin's Secret being the other two), it needed to be benched for a while to develop those characters and allow other characters and storylines to grow. 3 months in, Hayley is the weak link, Dani is still divisive, but not boring, and Bill has been making his mark with some plots faster than others. So last week seeing the story starting to loop back around to them with Hayley's potential pregnancy, I honestly had mixed feelings.   I get it. The SilkPress storyline is currently in aftermath/next turn mode, so it has to be moved into a C plot position. Moreso if we want to keep the very talented Miss Trish around. And I love how clever the writers are being with the storyline. They give us enough in the episodes and are still playing out beats to keep the appetite fed. I don't feel like anyone is being dumbed down to keep her around. And Trish is giving nuances in her alone scenes with NuTed. I shouldn't care for a clear psycho, but she be selling it. That said...I wish they had given us a little more of the Martin's Secret storyline in the last week of the month though I loved the game of cat and mouse Bill did on Martin and Smitty to keep the storyline alive and active after it had a nice build beginning of May and vanished for a week mid-May. And it appears like it's about to go back to the backburner as an A plot which of course leaves the A plot of Dani/Bill/Hayley.   I am probably in the minority as someone who is not anti-Dani here and even she annoyed the heck out of me last week. In character true, but I just felt like there was a way to get all of that across without it feeling like...as I've said before...one step forward, two steps back...and have it feel organic. I liked Hayley got a little bit of edge with her, but she still ain't no match for Dani. And it reminds to be seen if we should be going back to that well of a story yet.   Now about today's show...   And I thought Tracy was bad! lol. But YES. Sharon has been worth the wait. And so has Anita's story! Finally having TT in the limelight. This has been a nice slow burn for me and a nice B plot. And the actress is good. The wig is giving. And her holding what Anita's secret is over her head and threatening to tell Vernon....Ooooo...that is what I was waiting for.    And speaking of bad...I thought Eva vs Kat was a great rivalry. But I am loving the rivalry that is growing with 'Nancy Drew' and Silk Press Sheila! They both get good licks in and are so cunning with each other. And I definitely have liked that since the anniversary party, that it has been growing. Now that Kat has been proven right, she has not backed down. And neither has SilkPress. And we got a 'Ms. B@tch' moment, too? LOVE. Eva coming up with a trump card was delicious and so 90s Sami Brady. GOOD. And the coda with Jacob and the expert...YES. The Silk Press storyline has been the best paced on the show so I love that the aftermath of the anniversary party continues to be so...barring one flaw...well for me. Not enough Nicole's POV.   And I like the C plots on display. And by that, I mean Chelsea with Vernon. And it made me wonder what the writers have plan for her love life now that the throuple is over with. I was watching her and going awww.   And of course the mystery man around Martin. I am starting to wonder if he really even works at the country club given how he made a run for it. That would be a twist.    Speaking of Martin...good to see him in scenes with his father and mother.    I'm getting used to NuTed.    I felt the last episode of May was a bit of a letdown, but this was a very nice recovery.
    • Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.
    • The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.
    • That would be his older sister Stacey. She was the center of a big story back in the day. Nola was out to snag medical student Kelly Nelson, who she thought would provide her with the life she craved. He was in love with a girl named Morgan. Nola plotted to get pregnant by him, but couldn't manage to get him in bed. So she seduced Floyd, who thought she was in love with him. When she knew she was pregnant, she got Kelly drunk and made sure he woke up next to her in bed. Kelly believed her when she told him he made her pregnant. They were about to elope to Las Vegas, but her mother ratted her out and Kelly abandoned her. She almost married Floyd, but jilted him at the altar. She went to work for Quint. When the baby came prematurely, Kelly saved both of them. She named the baby Kelly Louise to irk Morgan, who was now married to Kelly. When she fell in love with Quint, she had a change of heart over all the trouble she had caused, so she changed the baby's name to Anastasia Louise, shortened to Stacey. Quint was a devoted stepfather and Henry treated her like his own granddaughter.  After Quint and Nola leave SF, I believe Stacey is never seen again. Which is odd, you would think they would have brought her back with Nola and J, but they never did.
