Are there even any around now? I guess the Tyler Perry shows? 

It's smart of him to leave a sinking ship. If he could take the talentless hack who helped hire him, DAYS might be able to wrap up on a passable note (as long as Higley, Griffith, etc. aren't brought back).

I’m glad Shawn is now in Greece. He needed to be a part of this storyline as much as anybody else did. And he looked good too

That being said, that cliffhanger ending, WTF? It was really good and I didn’t expect it but it seemed a little out of character for Shawn, hence, why he should have been a part of this storyline more, so we could have had more understanding of his actions. 

I’m also curious as to what Roman is going to now that Andrew’s told him about Bo and Kate.

The John/Andrew scenes were good too. Him encouraging and supporting Andrew about Paul, once again, proves that John really is the best Soap Dad

So much good and bad in today's episode.

The acting by Peter Reckell and Josh Taylor was just awful.

That said the Bo and Hope scenes were good but the outdoor fake set was just bad....really bad.

Love seeing Ed but the scenes with her and the Scooby Doo gang was painful to watch. Billy Flynn couldn't even keep a straight face.

Steve escaping by the fake wall was laughable. The whole wall moved when Steve was barely touching it.

Loved loved the Andrew and John scenes. I felt a father/son bond in just those scenes. Great stuff!

The ending was shocking!  I expected Steve to maybe pull the trigger but not Shawn.

Sorry but all I see is a Jay Leno chin when they shoot a profile of the Andrew character. I can't get into him. He can leave now.

I Love Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. They have the same chemistry that they had 40 years ago. I wish they'd stay around. Bo and Hope forever.

That was the worst CGI I have EVER seen in my entire life. This "Peacock Budget" thing is not working. My God. It was so bad it almost took my attention away from Peter Reckell's horrific acting in the Bo & Hope scenes. And the staging/direction of the shooting at the end of the episode could not have been more amateurish.

The Bo & Hope montage would have been good with a strong, well-known soundtrack. I know music is (supposedly) ridiculously expensive, but lame music torpedoes a great montage.

I’m slowly making my way through last week.

Eileen Davidson as Thomas Banks was hysterical to me. I’ve never seen the character before but it was amazing. Eileen is so good.

I enjoyed the DiMera sisters scenes in prison. Would be interesting to see the sisters take on all the brothers.

Knowing how limited of time we PR and KA they sure are dragging their feet.

I will say I like Hope and Harris together, so it’s a shame that’s gonna have to end.  
 

So Talia is a mini Rolf experimenting on the whole town in her first two weeks living in Salem

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
