My grandmother died in her sleep and it was just as shocking as if she had died on a plane.

I still remember the shock finding her and receiving the phone call of her passing and all the confusion and pain.

I thought Days should've gone passing in his sleep version.

To be fair, someone like Victor dying quietly in his sleep just feels wrong for his character. I definitively want more drama than that for him, though a classic "plane crash, no body recovered" also feels wrong because it's a classic soap opera non-death and they can't (or rather shouldn't) recast Victor. I'm not sure how I would've done it though; I guess if they'll milk his body not being recovered for storyline purposes it could be ok. I doubt it, but we'll see.

Decent episode today.

I liked seeing everybody absorbing the news about Victor’s disappearance and also being there to support Maggie. And I liked that they somehow managed to include Shane into this storyline. He and Victor were such bitter enemies back in the day. And since Victor’s supposed to have been missing for so long, I wonder if there’s going to be some kind of mystery put into this storyline. There are so many Kiriakises on the show right that this could have such a big effect on so many characters and their storylines.

I also liked seeing messy Brady today. It was a lot better than that kidnapping crap from last week. I’m actually curious about where he goes from here, especially now that Victor’s gone. And I also hope Chloe soon realizes why Xander wants to marry her so quickly. 

And, I can’t believe I’m saying this but Li and Melinda do have chemistry. Who would’ve thought? 😂😂😂

I guess this is now my morning routine:

1. play wordle, (send it to my group chat)
2. check in to see if @AbcNbc247 liked the DAYS episode, (avoid the trolls and gatekeepers)
3. drink a cup of iced coffee, (try to get the correct foamy top consistency)

It's very hard to press the play button.😂

I appreciate that Gabi/CB is one of the only actresses that realize when the episodes are airing and dresses appropriately for summer (even if the dress wasn't the best).  It's clear the show has no idea where to go with Stefan/Gabi now.   Li has a stronger trajectory than those two and that's surprising.  I like Melinda and Li as well and I had some reservations about it in the beginning.  They are cute together.

It's strange to me that both Brady/Shawn are much more closely related to Victor than most people at the party.  They were both on, but I am not sure why they weren't at the party or couldn't have had those same conversations at the party.  I know they are both estranged from Victor, but so is Xander and having Brady/Shawn/Belle/Chloe at the homecoming would have made it feel more important.  Days seems to drop the ball on the family/community feel for big events and I don't think it's a budget issue.

Completely agree. The points you made about the party are all on point. Seems like this should be Soap Writing 101, yet here we are...again.

Glad to see them back, but these returns happen during the week of AUGUST 28??? So we have TWO MORE WEEKS before we get to this memorial???

It already feels like they're stalling, so I'm thinking the next couple weeks will be painful.

I’m so glad that spoiler turned out to be true.

I’m curious as to why

Theresa’s there though. She and Victor hated each other. Unless this is paving the way for a reunion with Brady.

Andrew should be there. For a while, everyone thought he was Victor’s son 😂😂😂

Colton said sometime in the Fall

 

Today was… ehhh

The acting mayor just needs to go away. There is no purpose for his character and there never will be. 

Johnny/Chanel/Talia was ok. I am curious to see what Johnny’s gonna do now that he thinks Talia and Chanel are a couple. Hopefully, it involves Tripp and Wendy lol.

As for Dimitri/Gwen/Leo, Leo just needs to die. Done with him. This writing team doesn’t seem to realize that saying you feel guilty doesn’t mean jackshit if you’re on your back 30 seconds later.

Dimitri was hot as ever, but Gwen was absolutely pathetic. I swear, I really think Ron gets off on [!@#$%^&*] like this. Which is why I raised the question as to whether or not he might have a problem working for a woman.

Hopefully, there are some good changes made soon. #JanetPlease 🙏🙏

@AbcNbc247

They are dumbing down Gwen. Gwen was never stupid. The writing continues to be awful.
