Kinda felt bad for Li today. He was being all sweet and Gabi ruined it. Why does he even want someone like her?

A lot of people were written as petty and spiteful today though, which is out of character for most of them. 

Am I still so silly?

I'm skipping most of this week. The previews sound awful. 

I'm still trying to get through Sonny last episode on Thursday. The writing by Jamey Giddens is horrific. I've had to fast forward a lot of the episode.

You know, I am not surprised at all it took Belle three tries to pass the bar.

  I am glad they dragged Shawn and Belle out of the closet for today's show.  Her, Brady, and Eric were enjoyable.

Yeah… I still think Rachel needs a slap

John was good today, trying to mediate and explain Brady’s complicated relationship with Marlena when he was younger. He’s a good Dad and a good Grandpa. 

I wish they’d give Sloan more humanity. If she’s sticking around, they should at least make her a character to root for. They could still leave her with the edge she has but make her likable.

Rachel being a demon child generally cracks me up.  Days rarely has children (besides young Ciara) that do anything but be quiet in the background.  I am not exactly sure why John is the only one parenting her, but I just think Brady is overall useless.  I don't think comparing Chloe to Marlena would make any sense to a child and it's not really the same situation at all, but at least John's trying.

Sloan isn't exactly likable, but people do keep during her dirty so I don't hate her.

I love EJ/Nicole together so much more than I anticipated.

I liked Wendy/Johnny in the beginning, but Tripp/Wendy > Johnny/Wendy.

Most days I wish BB would go back to GH as Johnny Zaccara and today was no different.  I don't like him and Gabi and this whole story is stupid.

That’s a problem with the show

There’s not that many people to root for. But if I had to name a few, I’d say Marlena, Kate and Kayla  

Haha I’m glad somebody else noticed.

Tripp and Wendy always had the most chemistry, even going back to Beyond Salem

That's how I feel. BB time on Days should've ended long time ago. Gabi and his character have fizzled as a couple. Ron ruined any momentum this couple had when they killed off Stefan. And yes the story like most of Ron's stories is stupid.

Yeah this is a case where the momentum was killed by getting rid of BB/Stefan, then making him a new character, then bringing Stefan back to life.  UGH....what a waste of like 3 years of my life lol.  I also don't understand why Li is so mad.  He literally knows exactly where Gabi stands on him and the marriage, so I don't know why he is so furious she's lying.

I honestly don't know if we should think Li is a villian who's gone crazy at this point or if we should feel bad for him because Gabi hates him.  The writing is so weird for him.  I am not sure where they are going with him, but I doubt Ron knows either.

The writing is weird for almost ever character.  Ron is clueless. His writing is all over the place. If something happens or is done without rhyme or reason, there seems to be no logical reason for it to happen or be done.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
