@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.

Yeah, they could really use a bar a la the Cheatin' Heart or a café like Java Cafe or Dot Com (but, uh, update the name either way). I'm glad they're using the Bistro a little more, but a fine-dining type of place has been missing for a long time, too. Everyone's always slurping down chowder at the Pub or eating at that one table in the Town Square.

It's supposed to be the "Salem River," right? Which is a long-established thing, but on this show, I assume their definition of "river" is about as accurate as their definition of "townhouse" (that place is a condo at best). Basically, there's water somewhere.

I guess that tracks, since it is supposed to be in the Midwest, and Doug's Place was on the lake.  I forget that they aren't in Salem, Mass.  But, it seems much easier to spot a submarine in a river.

But Salem, Illinois is in the lower part of the state and not near a river or Lake Michigan, so the mystery continues...

Honestly, I just deep dived the state of Illinois more than I intended to.  But I did think at some point in time Days did accept it was Salem, Illinois.  That's why they talk about Chicago and Springfield a lot.

I've come to accept that they live in a parallel universe version of Illinois where women can have children fourteen years apart, days last for weeks, and kidnappings, doppelgängers, and returns from the dead are common occurrences.

So, I guess the fish are plentiful there...

It's sad that viewers have to go there to believe the unbelievable/impossible.

I'm about finished with all soaps. My blood pressure gets sky high with the ridiculous stories on Days and now B&B.

I get your point.  But being honest Days has been impossible and unbelievable for at least 25 years now.  I think the former budget Days had made it seem more glossy and fun, but it was never deep down and gritty to me.  It was campy entertainment, but I truly do respect your opinion on it.  The early 80's and the early 90's were the most realistic time period for Days, IMO.  It just delved into to supercouples and sci fi in between.

DAYS has always had a heavy-duty need for the willing suspension of disbelief! There's nothing new about that. Geographically, they always seemed situated with regard to Chicago. Realistically, impossible. Agree that it's a river. 

I only wanted to say about yesterday's show, ... arduous, just damned hard work for the viewer to slog through the heavy oppressive Abe story stuff. It's gone on too long. And the fun stuff ran out days ago. Thank God for Black Patch & Chicago to LA planes & buses & interrogating Jerry! Didn't get much off of Kayla & Marlena & the discovery that Whitley had been a DevilDoc patient. Very late in the game to offer motive for Whitley.

Oh, yeah, I nominate Lani's ankle bracelet as the most frustrating thing about current DAYS. They could have tracked her by it the whole time!

      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.

      It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.

      I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).

      I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.
