Ron can't write for two people much less six.

Silly posters.

He can borrow some of my ideas if he wants

I think this is where Kristen says she will be his new mommy too.  Seriously.

[te.]

Well, I guess we can assume Kristen and Brady gets in freaky word play in the bedroom.

[carolineg]

Probably.

Kristen and little Brady didn't have a ton of scenes, but I will never forget this set.  Kristen has Marlena locked in the Secret Room and tells Brady since she's marrying John she will be his new mommy.  More should be made of this on the show, but Days has clearly shied away from the whole John/Kristen romance over the last decade.  Kristen/Brady will never not be super creepy even if they aged Brady 2 decades along the way.

Does all of this mean that Stephanie is two years older than Brady?

Dude's gotta lay off the sauce because it looks like he's got more than a decade on her.  Or, all of that fast race driving really snatched her face.

[carolineg]

Yes!  Stephanie is older than Brady in chronological real time.  I think the best correlation to Brady is Abby being about 5 months younger than him or maybe the fact Theresa and Andrew are both older than him as well.

I'm slightly concerned for Nicole

Although it would be creative if this was the origin story of Nicole as the new Salem superhero, Iron Woman.

Thursday's ending was pure bad camp.

Colin didn't hit Paulina as Thursday's episode showed.

Again important things like Abe being hit happened offscreen.

The actor playing Colin is really awful. He isn't even menacing. He is a cartoon.

The writing is atrocious for Days.

The acting is so bad.

All the Sloan pimping is just too much.

There was some good acting today. But there was also some bad acting too. 

Jada seemed a little checked out, which surprised me because EC is usually a lot better than that. 

Same could be said for EJ, who seemed lousy in the first half of the episode but was doing better by the second half. They could get something really good out of EJ/Nicole/Eric/Sloan. I really hope it isn’t rushed and squandered.

"Elvis" must have taken over by then.

[AbcNbc247]

Maybe Dan’s realizing that the writing team seems to have gotten tired of EJ

[Khan]

I agree.

The acting was pretty much awful all around.  Everyone was just screaming on that roof.  I couldn't understand half of what was being said.  I did think it was a pretty exciting episode though.  

I could have done without EJ/Nicole's proposal scenes though.  It seemed out of place in the episode even with Eric/Sloan having scenes as well.

I also thought it was weird there was more than one scene of Rafe getting a hold of Theo.  Half the show happens off screen, but we had Rafe call and talk to Theo on screen with random Dr?  It was such filler.
