The thing about Leo/Dmitri is that Leo is easily discarding the most genuine relationship he has on the show.  Like it or not, Gwen/Leo has been shoved in our faces and Leo just immediately trashed that relationship to jump into bed with Dmitri.  I thought he had some loyalty to Gwen, but none at all.   Gwen is awful, but she has literally done nothing to deserve this treatment from Leo or Dmitri. 

As far as Wendy, I thought when she was introduced she was quite spunky and different.  She's turned into a standard heroine at this point and she is boring.

Deidre loves a blazer.  Deidre has loved a blazer since forever.  Of course she has 1000's.  I hate the look and actually think her sleep/loungewear looks much better, but her blazers have been a thing for decades now.  Pair it with a flannel and she's raring to go.

  Johnny has always given me bisexual vibes from day one. I'm sure Tripp would play too. They're hotter than the whole Dimitri and Leo mess.

You forget how both Leo and Gwen railroaded each other on pining a murder on the other. They friendship is bogus.

You are right I did conveniently forget that.

  So fair...

At this point though I think they moved passed that and are bff's again?  Anyhow, I think it's really crappy to do to someone you claim is your friend.  It's gross.  There really isn't a good reason to just let Gwen in on the plan.

Well, it doesn’t have to be just over Wendy lol they rehashed everything in their scenes today. I didn’t realize how many reasons Tripp and Johnny had to really hate each other. And all this stuff with Wendy could be the spark that finally sets off the dynamite. 

And honestly, I just want to see a good fight

It doesn’t have to be Tripp/Johnny. It could be Eric/EJ, Chad/Alex, Brady/Xander, etc. 

Heres that Shawn vs Philip fight that I referred to. The camera work sucks lol but this was a good one.

Just like with a lot of characters on the canvas, it was too much and they were taken too far. And fans got tired of it.

And agreed, that maybe they should’ve cast a younger actor to play Leo.

I knew there was something to get you to keep watching

There did seem to be a lot of subtext in those scenes 

Sounds similar to a certain young blonde over on GH

Only difference is that Gwen kind of deserves it after all the things she’s done

Well, I hate to defend Joss but even she wouldn't sleep with Spencer to prove he's no good for Trina lol.  That's like a Sonny thing to do lol

Gwen deserves it, but it would be more satisfying coming from Sarah or something.  Not someone who is her bff.  It makes me feel slightly bad for her.

There was no reason not to tell Gwen to begin with.  I assume she would have been fine with it.  And then she could have caught feelings and realized Dmitri and Leo were a thing.  Now she just looks like a fool and it's a bad look for everyone involved instead of a difficult situation of fighting feelings with nuance.

Yup.  And it's just a missed oppurtunity to make the story have more layers.  Not that I am advocating a Gwen/Leo/Dmitri triangle, but it's like the ending and 'root' for couple have already had sex in one episode.  No longing, no progression of feelings-it's so rushed as usual.

It happens lol back when I started watching OLTL, I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread

And i used to think something similar about garnering sympathy but after what happened with Nancy last year, I started thinking there was some misogyny there. The way that storyline was written was just gross. 

And that’s what ruined it.

@AbcNbc247 I don't have the video, just the still. I use it as a banner pic. Scott McKinsey directed the scene & he suggested they use a jab instead of the roundhouse they usually throw.

@j swift  In my opinion Ron definitely has misogyny in his wheelhouse but it's not like it's strange to have it in DAYS.

        Thank you! Agreed on both posts. And the comments about Mike Manning are nonsense.

      I haven't watched yet, but did they explain the current ownership of The Bistro?  Because when RonC was writing, wasn't he applying for work with Sophia?

      I think Brandon has gotten better in normal day to day scenes, but he’s very over the top when the character is meant to be angry or agitated. I did laugh when she started yelling at Leslie and then when he started to throw all those damn books, lol. He needs an acting coach to work out some of these kinks.

      I've never found him as bad as some. I think he's always shined in scenes with Vernon, who should be his father. I also think he has great chemistry with Kat and Dani which I hope they tap into more over time. Dani/Martin feel like such a fun and believable Auntie/Nephew relationship.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.
