I guess Gwen can't live there unless she reconciles with Jack&Jennifer, which doesn't seem likely (until the holidays).

Lucas could live there if/when he's ever released from prison.  Along the same lines, Will could live there but seems more reasonable to stay at the Dimera mansion since Arianna's mother lives there.  And I don't why Sarah chose to live in a rat-infested motel rather than live there.

It really highlights the lack of Hortons currently in Salem that it is such a stretch to think who should be living in one of the oldest sets on the show.

I feel like it would be perfect for Mike.  He feels like the character most like Tom to me.  Unfortunately, he's dating Nancy, but if the show had any brains they would recast and establish Mike had remarried and had teenage or young adult children.

What was the point of Harris keeping the secret about Bo if it was only going to be kept for one episode? 

Oh well, I still thought it was good. I’m looking forward to the reunion scenes for Bo and Hope. And Stephanie and Kayla.

I also enjoyed John/Roman/Marlena. When was the last time Roman and Marlena had a deep scene like that?

It was nice seeing Andrew too

Colton played ruthless really well today with Megan. I hope he sticks around after this is over. 

He did well today. And he looked really good too

It’s crazy. The Hortons really have been decimated these last few years.

Why is Steve Burton so red? He is so buff but he does nothing for me.

Harris and Chad are wearing the same work out joggers.

Nice cliffhanger!

It's a shame everything comes to a conclusion next week. So much wasted time. The story had potential and they wasted Kristian and Peter's return.

This was definitely tweaked by Jamey. The whole orgy talk from Andrew and Meghan wasn't needed. Andrew looked good!

The Marlena/John/Roman scenes gave me Cocoon vibes. 

Can they get WN back as Roman? JT is terrible.

I liked today's episode.  Overall very good.  I loved that cliffhanger even if I don't love the story.

@SoapsudsI often imagine Wayne playing some of these Roman scenes (especially the ones with John/Marlena like today) and think of how much better it would be with him.  I don't think John/Roman/Marlena should still be fighting after 30 years, but there should still be some tension there after everything they have been through.  Also, did John just not tell Carrie Marlena was alive?  Rude....

I like SBu as Harris a lot more than I should.  I think he is doing good work.  Although letting Hope walk into a potentially dangerous situation blind was a little weird.

There is just something missing with Chad/Stephanie.  I can't put my finger on it, but I don't really like them as a couple.  I did in the beginning, but they are kinda boring right now.

She's bland. The actress isn't bad per se, but she also isn't... good.  Some actors have natural charisma right off the bat (i.e. Jada, Talia, in my opinion) and others don't. 

Marci Miller didn't WOW me at the beginning when she took over as Abigail, but I grew to appreciate her and her work improved and she showed more of a spark eventually.

I hate to be mean about actors who've been around for a long time, but Jesus, that mush-mouth line delivery is so damn annoying. Are his dentures loose or what?

 

Have to agree. I thought there was something there when Alex was in the picture and Chad was pining for her. I saw some sexual energy there. But since they've been together, they've been "kinda boring" and worse. I'm just not feeling them at all.

Talia definitely immediately had charisma and so did both Chanels.  I think AK is a good recast of Stephanie, but at the same time Stephanie isn't the most interesting character either and she doesn't elevate the material.  Stephanie and Chad don't really have any obstacles or tension and I don't think bringing Alex back into the mix will help.

Considering JT has played Roman for over 25 years and I still imagine Wayne in the role is not a good reflection of JT's portrayal. There is an underlying history that just doesn't get played properly in certain relationships.  I don't mind him in most scenes, but scenes with Jarlena and his siblings, I miss Wayne a lot.  I think JT does fine with his onscreen kids and Kate. 

I just feel like Chad/Stephanie are just there.  They aren't awful, but there isn't anything I can say about their relationship that makes them unique or interesting.  It's just two decent, attractive actors playing a very ordinary love story.

This is my fault, not theirs, but the entire cliffhanger was in this week's preview (if I wanted to be surprised I shouldn't look at spoilers).  But, I expected the scene to go a little further to explain the situation.

I'm a bit more conflicted about my theory that this isn't Bo.  On the one hand, they've deliberately shown that this isn't Thomas, but there's got to be some reason why Bo and Hope won't return to Salem, and if he escapes, then she has to go hunt him down at the other Kiriakis properties around the world. 

At this point, I don't see a future for Harris.  I guess there are available romantic interests.  But, why would anyone in Salem be interested in befriending the guy who terrorized the Johnsons and lied to Hope?  If we're headed toward a Stephanie/Harris pairing, I do not approve.

The high point of the episode for me was the banter between Stephanie and Chad when she questioned where he got his investigative abilities.  It was cute.  It mirrored the audience's response.  And, it is nice that she's not just gaga about every idea that he has, which makes them more like partners than when Bo&Hope were investigating crimes back in their youth.

      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.”

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.
