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 have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.
