Just like with Alex yesterday, I see the show tried to make us like Leo and Gwen today. And just like with Alex, it isn’t going to work. 

And btw, that’s a big HELL NO on a Brady/Gwen pairing. 

I am really glad that Victor knows that Bo is alive and that he’s going to Greece to see him. But at the same time, I think that this Bo and Hope storyline should still include Bo and Hope, just sayin. 

Has there been any word yet as to why the Bo and Hope storyline was ruined so badly? Like in the Soap media or on Twitter?

Yeah, the height difference is mind-boggling. I'd certainly notice if my husband suddenly had extra... inches. 

With Deidre Hall's 5000th episode about to hit, I think now would be a good time to have Marlena retire as a therapist. But that would involve acknowledging that she's reached a certain age, so...

When Marlena was having that whole issue with the hospital board after the Possession I kept wondering why she didn't just retire.  It doesn't appear John works (when's the last time BlackPatch had a case?), but I do think the writers do like to give characters a shrink to go to.  The show probably would have been better served making Belle a shrink instead of a lawyer so there would be more shrink options and Marlena could quietly retire.

The "He could not be a campier gay boy" writing for Leo is HORRENDOUS, and Greg Rikaart does nothing to elevate any of it.

In other gay news, it's cringe watching Talia pretend to be sexually attracted to Chanel. We're getting a straight girl who looks petrified and even disgusted that she might have to have sex with another female, and it's all offensive as phuck.

Just for the sake of discussion, (and not to be confused with defending the story), it would be odd if every young woman that Chanel meets is sexually fluid.  I didn't see it as Talia being disgusted with the idea of a kiss, I thought she is hesitant to manipulate Chanel in order to please Colin.  I interpreted her hesitation as some degree of apprehension which will be used to rehabilitate the character.

I'm actually a bit more offended on behalf of Jada who is not only being sexually harassed by her boss (hyperbole), but also nobody is giving her credit for cracking the case so quickly.  Left to his own devices, Rafe would still be staring at some bulletin board with Sloan's picture on it in July without a single clue.

Gabi and Stefan were pure FF material. This Dimera crap is so pointless. And, is it just me or has this writing team seemed to have gotten tired of EJ? As a character, he just seems to be missing something lately. 

Rafe is just dumb. One of the dumbest cops I’ve ever seen in Salem

I hope Jada keeps her suspicions about Talia. 

Eric/Nicole are always great together. I hope they play the long game with their storyline. If they start re-investing in EJ, it could end being really good.

Yeah, and EJ’s not like that.

Judging from the storyline, it seems like a lack of interest to me. Either that, or they’re trying to sacrifice him at Stefan’s expense.

Made his debut and planted a big juicy kiss on his sister in law

Outside of the initial Sami stuff, I don't find the show has ever had much interest in DF's EJ.  He has airtime, but his stories are either stupid or end abruptly (see Belle and the first incarnation of him and Nicole)

I honestly don't know if we are supposed to take this Stefan/EJ stuff seriously or if it's supposed to be comedic and they are supposed to look like idiots.

I think it doesn't help the cause that we hardly ever see them in the workplace.  Show us, don't tell us, how EJ treats his employees.  Is Stefan good at negotiation?  Or, at the most basic, how does their company make money?

On a similar note, I think they've dropped the ball on having Maggie as the CEO of Kiriakis.  Yes, her interplay with Xander and Alex is an interesting source of conflict.  However, I want to know how Maggie deals with Victor's prior more nefarious business endeavors.  They mentioned the prisms three weeks ago, and now seem to have completely forgotten about their importance.  Does Maggie know that her company is funding medical research in Greece?  I'd like to see Maggie struggle with the ethical issues at Kiriakis and then use Xander and Alex to help decide how to keep the company on the straight and narrow.

I guessed that it’s supposed to be funny, but I don’t think that’s working at all

I also think you’re right that they wanted Ejami, but they have to know by now that Ali Sweeney is never coming back full time. Instead of holding onto that dream, they should use what they have. The Shawn/Belle/EJ could have been so good and weaving Eric/Nicole/Sloan/Jada/Rafe into it would have been so good as well. But now it’s like it never happened. What I don’t understand is why EJelle was built up for so long like they were going to be an actual couple if it was just gonna be sex.

Yep. Looks like it. 

And I’m dying to find out what happened behind the scenes

Considering Stephanie’s attitudes towards Harris, and today with Alex, is it possible that they’re writing her as the fall guy in order to prop them both? I do like that Harris is joining up in the search for Kate though. And I’m curious about the cliffhanger with Kate today and who the mystery boss was, because Kate doesn’t know the person that I think it is. Unless

I hope we get some more EJ/Eric brawls. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good fight on Days. And it’s definitely time for EJ to get his teeth back. And why aren’t they allowed to say ass***e on Days now? It always gets cut

Btw, congratulations Nicole!

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
