How unbelievably lazy to repeat the first 9 plus minutes from yesterday.  I love flashbacks, but I didn't need to see them again and I could understand repeating the shooting, but that was a huge chunk of the episode.

I don't think Beemer is that bad.  I don't think Marstolf or Vaughn are light years ahead of him as far as talent goes.  BB isn't fabulous, but he's fine.  I thought KA was worse than BB with the fake crying.  And, I mean, how can anyone take anything about this episode seriously when you see that CGI?

On a style note, that is one short dress Wendy is wearing lol.  It looks like something Ciara would wear.

Is Angela really a guardian angel? Because it's kind of crappy to send Bo back to earth to wake up as a Dimera pawn who seemingly murders an acquaintance (or is Kate a relative by marriage...an ex-step-mom/sister in law?), then gets shot by his kid, in front of his true love. 

If Shawn were more of a main character, I think I'd probably enjoy this plot point because I could imagine it going somewhere. I do have to admit, I thought they'd kill Bo again, because it's the kind of ridiculous I expect from these writers. It's a shame they didn't go all out, have Shawn shoot Hope by mistake only for her to wake up as Gina. Hope as Gina with Bo as a Kiriakis could have been fun. 

I guess we'll go to Megan for more magic serum or whatever? Or did Kayla make a batch? 

I wonder why nobody in Salem became, like, a nice guy version of Rolf. Their lives would be much easier. That, and trackers, because the characters from the 80s disappear a lot. Next round, I hope our heroes are better adapted.

A whole episode dedicated to tainted biscuits. The acting is atrocious. 

Why would EJ care about Nicole sleeping with Eric?

I knew something was different about Eric today. No beard...no facial hair. He looks sexier with the facial hair.

The only good thing about today's episode is seeing Stefan shirtless in bed.

This is easily a no reason to watch episode.

No follow up to Bo in a coma.

I like the way Sloan was written today; tough and stubborn in front of all these bitches that are trying to bring her down but vulnerable and fearful around the people she cares about. I can relate to that

I hope she gets some apologies when this is all said and done. 

The EJ/Stefan pissing contest was stupid. To me, it just feels out of character for EJ. They really needed to stay in their own storylines (Stefan, with Brady and Chloe, EJ, with Shawn, Belle, Eric, Sloan, etc.) and avoid this crap for the most part. 

I am interested in how Talia and Jada are going to play out tomorrow though.

Oh I thought you said spitting contest.

And Chanel once again....Sloan Peterson... How many times does that make?

Lots of the scenes today are very cringeworthy.

How can they put such a garbage episode on?

What I suspected. Talia and Sloan's brother are lovers. 

Surprised to see Colin at the end. The ending was the best part of the whole crappy episode.

Spoilers didn't have him appearing until tomorrow.

Even though we know nothing about Colin's full plan, it seems the Peterson siblings make the most elaborate, time consuming revenge plots ever.  They would probably much better off investing their time in bettering themselves than trying to poison the town or sue people.  I guess that goes for most soap characters, but these plots to destroy Chanel/Paulina seem so complicated!

The sister Zoey was played by Britt from GH (at least at first) and she wasn't evil really.  I think she seemed to be more on Orpheus and Christian's sides than she was and ended up just taking custody of David from Rafe.   She was a lawyer to so I can see how that would seem repetitive.

The bakery biz is fickle.  One day of poor sales and Chanel can't afford Talia's salary (after they sold out of stock yesterday)?

EJ and Talia both have flashback syndrome and EJ and Nicole had the hug of doom. 

DAYS has some weird messaging about consent.  Jen drugged and raped Shawn, but Belle misidentified it as cheating.  Stefan drugged EJ and Nicole, but it they think of it as the regeneration of their relationship.  And Talia drugged Nicole and Eric, but now while they dream about their shared moment of passion, she fears EJ will think she cheated.  I don't think romantic fantasies should include the inability to consent due to being under the influence of a mind-altering drug.

I’m honestly getting curious for a list of repeated plots on DAYS between the brainwashing, shootings, lack of consent, evil siblings, returns from the dead.

I wasn’t expecting an increased budget but they should have the most creative freedom and all they do is wash, rinse, repeat.

Idk what to make of Colin yet, but I’m glad that he seems to come off as an actual villain and not some cringey, campy clown. Though I do hope they explain why he has an accent but Sloan doesn’t 

I’m surprised that Alex already had a breakthrough with Marlena. I would’ve thought Ron would give RSW tons of those kinds of scenes with Dee in the hopes of getting him that Emmy

Today’s ending was a bit of a letdown though. Leo planning to mess with Rafe and Jada is not really a hook to get people to tune in tomorrow. Luckily, tomorrow is a Bo and Hope episode. 

And I agree with @j swift The financial status of Sweet Bits is quite a mystery

    • 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
