So, June ended with a bang… or four 

Some were hot and some were not. And some made us wish that Jada was still in Eric’s orbit 😂😂

Unfortunately, it appears that none of that helped at all in June, when so much of the good scenes and good storylines were overshadowed by stupid crap and stupid decisions. And stuff that we’ve seen God only knows how many times in the last six years. And with the hint of bad news on the way, who knows what’s going to be in store for us Days fans? Not only for this month, but for the rest of 2023 as well. 

Best way to find out is to watch and see 👍

DISCUSS!

Agreed. Not having Wendy and Chanel have any scenes together in this storyline was a mistake. Hopefully, they’ll correct that now. 

And yet he thought he could make it as a priest 😂😂

Wendy was always jealous of Chanel but they never interacted.

Also, Eric as a priest was always so weird to me.  It work for the Kristen story years ago, but when you actually think about Eric and his upbringing and life it doesn't work at all.

It's amazing to me. Someone should really do a photo collage of nothing but bad hair on beautiful Ari. 

It's probably Nicole's most consistent character trait.

It’s actually kind of strange how they refused to play that beats. I wonder if there was a reason.

The cynical part of me wants to say, yes, there's a reason, but it probably comes down to the fact that Chanel spends tons of episodes with Paulina and it probably blows through RB's guarantees.

I mean, I’d be okay with less Paulina scenes… #Bawlina 

I would take 50% less Paulina scenes and 50% more Marlena scenes, but such is life....and Jackee seems to have a much higher guarantee than most other vets.

Today was an improvement over the last time we saw this stuff with Abe. I’m guessing a certain hack was not allowed anywhere near the script or the breakdown. 

I was dreading what was going to happen when it came out that Nurse Whitley was one of Marlena’s patients but the way everything was tied together was actually pretty clever. I didn’t see it coming. 

I also enjoyed the Kate/Paulina scenes. Things are always a lot better for the two of them and a lot of characters on Days when scenes are written with more subtlety. 

And, I see John was channeling his inner Clint Eastwood today. How many times did he call Jerry “punk”? 😂😂

I enjoyed today's show.  So why didn't Jada or Rafe get Lani's location before this?  It took the US Marshall like 2 minutes to get it.  Rafe is the worst detective.  Kate and Paulina aren't wrong. 

Spoiler

I guess Phillip is coming back.  No one has mentioned Phillip in a long time.

I liked the attempt to tie Nurse Whitley's story together with Marlena, but her motivations still don't make a lot of sense to me.  Maybe they will expand on it more on Monday.

I really can't take John/Steve's 'tough guy PI' schtick seriously.  They are both 70!  Jerry could have probably just out run them.  And John flashing the gun (the one Brady stole?) at Jerry.  What was John going to do? Shoot him if he didn't talk lol?

The Eastwood comparison is apt.  They share the same "get off my lawn" energy.  But, it also seems like both of them ache when they try to stand up from a chair.  Meanwhile, I don't know what Dr. Rolf did to him all of those years ago, but somehow John still looks five years younger than Roman.

The other day when John knocked down Jerry's door I was seriously worried about Drake's health.  Why is Days making this poor guy still do stunts?  To be fair, I have always thought Drake/John looked significantly younger than both Roman's.  He's aged a lot in the last decade though.

On a different note, it's so strange to think when Drake was EM or GV's ages John was settled with Marlena with multiple children, but Eric's on his first kid and Brady can't figure out how to move out of his parents house.

DAYS is getting their money's worth out of that dock set.  In my mind, the dock is within walking distance of Horton Square, but I'd still like to know the layout of Salem.

I'm also questioning Paulina's wealth.  She owns the DAYS equivalent of Walmart, so is she Sam Walton rich?  Because she doesn't seem to use her privilege to fund the search for Abe, or to oppose the police commissioner for threatening her daughter.  Does she own other homes?  Is she on leave from work because her husband is missing?  Is she richer than John or EJ?

Also, while I appreciate that they needed to write a way for Marlena to tell Whitley's backstory, why is she divulging confidential information to Kayla?

Finally, it was interesting to find out the Body and Soul is still on the air, given that Wendy was watching it the other day.  Has it moved to a streaming service?.  I wonder if anyone in Salem recognizes that the actors look like familiar people in town, or if that is just a part of Abe's hallucinations?

My husband told me a few weeks ago that there was a reference by Whitley to watching Body and Soul on the network until it moved to streaming. Or something like that.

Right. In the dialog first day it was mentioned. Specifically she said that she had taped it every day for 15 years, until they moved it to streaming.

So, it's a real meta commentary on the audience that young, tech-savvy Wendy watches it on streaming, while older, nostalgia-addict Whitley watches videotapes of episodes.

It is like DAYS is saying,"watch streaming, or you'll end up as a lonely cat lady who kidnaps civil service workers."

I think the Pub is supposed to be near the river too. Or at least that's how it was back in the day.

@AbcNbc247 It has to be an ocean dock and not a river, right?

I mean, Rolf's submarine and Victor's freighter couldn't travel on a river.

I know we had a discussion of the minification of the square upthread, but originally didn't the Pub exit out onto the square?

Speaking of sets and the 20something crowd like Tripp, Johnny, Chanel, and Wendy, they need a more age-appropriate meeting venue for group scenes.  It is a shame that SweetBits doesn't have an interior set because a coffee shop would be perfect.  The Bistro and Short Bar seem too upscale for a Gen Z hangout joint, and I would like more natural scenes of them just sitting around outside their tiny homes.

Also, I just read a rumor that I'll add to the spoiler thread.
