@AbcNbc247I believe *some* of the issue with Belle/Shawn is availability.  I don't think Martha lives in California.  Last I heard she lived in Texas with her family and they have a restaurant out there and Martha actually works in hospitality recruiting as well.   I don't think she's ever unwilling to appear although I would assume they block tape her stuff when she's in town and that might explain the gaps.  I do believe she said she would make accommodations (like getting a secondary LA residence) if Days hired her back full time, but they obviously don't so I think we are just stuck sporadic appearances.  It also looks like her husband is a very successful restaurateur and she's quite involved so maybe Martha just doesn't really care about Days being her full time gig.   It doesn't excuse Days misuse of the couple, but I think it explains a little lol.

Anyway, so many things had to fall into place for Sloan's plan to work.  How Kayla didn't demand to test both men at the hospital once they knew boggles the mind.  She just trusted a bunch of civilians with no medical training to do this test?   Even if Sloan was honest she could have screwed the test up.  I've messed up those at home Covid tests lol.  Do DNA test show gender?  I have heard different things.  

I have always thought Xander/Chloe had chemistry.  I wish Xander didn't sell her to a drug lord or whatever because they could be decent.  A Brady/Xander/Sarah/Chloe quad wouldn't be the worst thing even if I despise Sarah.

I like your quad idea. I must be the exact type of fan Ron likes because I’ve pretty much either forgotten or got over all of Xander’s bad past deeds. It’s probably because I find the actor very charming and I’m so happy he’s away from damn Gwen.

I don't mind Xander and I don't mind him having love interests or being a lead.  I just don't like the fact that Chloe was one of his victims and it wasn't a minor misdeed.  I can get over it because obviously I watch a show where Ben is a romantic lead, but it taints the romance. 

I honestly dislike Sarah more than Gwen.  I don't like Gwen at all, but I still think she has potential if the show moves her away from all the unlikeable characters she interacts with.   Nothing the show has given her seems to stick and it's probably just best to get rid of her, but I still like the actress.  LG just grates on my nerves in every scene as Sarah although a recast might help save the character.

We don’t know yet. Because the only sample that was tested was Sloan’s 

I thought that restaurant closed down

I hope something changes in the future though, especially if Martha is willing. This storyline is too important to show up only once every few weeks

Maybe? I found a restaurant her husband was attached to in Dallas and assumed it was the same one.  Actually clicking on the website shows it's coming soon, so TBD on that.  Between deep diving Martha Madison and her husband and looking up Eden McCoy's social media today I have embarrassed myself enough in 24 hours.   Since the soap press cares about MM about as much as Days I just assumed her situation was the same as it was lol. 

Agreed about the story.  My feelings about Belle are clear, but I'd rather cut all of Leo's scenes and give them to Shawn/Belle.

Today reminded me that Leo's worst crime is how Diana's character was thrown under the bus for him. That would be the first thing I would fix before sending him away from Salem forever. It sickens me that he's her son and whatever the hell that notDiana return was.

Diana wasn't thrown under the bus for Leo... because Diana was never given an actual character other then what Genie Francis infused into the character.. which changed quite a bit.

Genie Francis spoke about how it was frustrating to play Diana because the show never gave her an actual character to play.  In fact, she said Diana was a bit part that they expanded once Days secured her.   And she did leave mysteriously by slicking her hair back, putting on a wig and leaving in the night.  So maybe what we saw was the real Diana

Welcome back, Tripp 

Please register in order to view this content

I’m glad Tripp is back in Salem and I like that he’s planning on being more assertive. He doesn’t deserve to get hurt again. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some people in the Soap Universe are gonna be mad about his lines today

Hopefully, we get some scenes of Johnny/Tripp and Wendy/Chanel. There haven’t been that many lately and this storyline definitely needs them. I think weaving Talia into it would be a good idea as well. She needs a new man now that the Colin storyline is over. 

Rafe is still dumb. There really are no security cameras at that hospital that could have shown that Colin didn’t take Abe??

Speaking of Abe, his storyline is total ff material. James Reynolds deserves so much better than this.

I still think if the show wants a successful Tripp pairing, have a young vixen set her sights on him and actually win him. Thought this might happen with Claire, but to no avail. Having him fall for these Mary Sue type characters he's bound to lose out esp. under Ron's pen.

Did the show ever explain why Belle was defending Talia?  Isn't that weird since Paulina/Chanel are her clients and also hypocritical because she hates Sloan for harassing Paulina/Chanel lol?  Since it's Belle I am going to assume the show did not bother to explain.

Johnny really needs a haircut.  I think there is so much potential with Johnny/Chanel/Tripp/Wendy/Talia, but right now everyone is so boring.   I am glad Tripp is being assertive, but Wendy has lost a lot of the original spark that I liked about her.

If the show wants us to think Paulina and Julie are BFF they should probably show them together more than once a year.

@AbcNbc247The Abe story is ridiculous, but I assume James Reynolds is just happy to get a story.

I’m hoping that they do that with Talia. She could get a job at the hospital and start to fall for Tripp, which pisses off not only Wendy, but Chanel too 

Poor guy

Or brainwash him into believing that he’s married to Dominique Deveraux

Wendy and Tripp were the best part of todays episode. I love that Tripp now has that cocky swagger, but still is a good guy at heart. Him and Wendy talking about her relationship with her father and how she felt like she’d never be in the position to have guys fighting over her was really nice.

And Tripp looked really good too

Their scenes got a little catty and campy when Johnny showed up, which didn’t need to happen. It was fine just the way it was. I hope this storyline remains a serious one. And it’s well past time for Tripp and Johnny to have a brawl

I had mixed feelings about Jada today. She was great in her scenes with Talia, but really annoying in her scenes with Sloan. She’s practically in the same position as Sloan but yet doesn’t seem to realize it.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
