What a month August was for us Days fans

Some of the best episodes we’ve seen in a long time, some of the worst episodes we’ve seen in a long time and an absolutely gorgeous and talented actor being wasted in a horrible storyline #PoorPeter

Not to mention the behind-the-scenes scandal that united a fanbase haha.

Is Elliot Roth's,(aka the von Leuschner lawyer), loved one going to have ties to Salem?

It seemed rather foreshadowing that they showed him talking and phone and saying he would be home soon.  Also, given his history of going to drag shows, and the obvious lack of gendered language when speaking to his partner, is Elliot also going to be gay?  Because they could've just re-used the actor who played Dimitri's family member to do all of this inheritance stuff.  So, I wonder if there's a story arc for Mr. Roth...

And now that they've gotten rid of the toxicity behind the scenes, maybe they'll get rid of it onscreen as well #JanetPlease

Just gotta get rid of the "writer" permanently.

Today was an improvement over yesterday. Just the storylines themselves made this episode better. Clearly, yesterday’s main storyline is a failure on every level. 

Welcome to Salem, Dick Van Dyke! 

It’s so great to see him working again. He really is a national treasure. And I actually enjoyed the little *wink**wink* to Mary Poppins too.

I have mixed feelings about what his storyline may turn out to be. I don’t necessarily hate it, but it’s been done before, so many times already. Can’t wait to see Monday’s episode again

For the first time in a while, I actually found Abe’s storyline interesting as well. His reaction today to Paulina and the date that they had just seems so natural and organic considering everything he’s been through. I do wish we could have seen their date though. 

I also really liked the ending of today as well. Despite the casting rumors, I think this could be a really good storyline for Brady and everyone around him. Kristen and her demon spawn still can just go away

Yeah, they've mentioned the year already and/or showed a date on paper. 

[Soaplovers]

And we're not even into the strike written episodes yet..wonder what they will be like when they start airing during the holidays/post holidays 

[carolineg]

Is Dick Van Dyke John's dad?  Are we going down that road again?

Good show today overall though.  I don't understand why Theresa's appearance got wacky background music when last we heard she was a stable, good mother to Tate and Brady spoke positively of her.

I REALLY hope that this is not it. John's backstory has been changed so many times I'm not ever sure Drake could tell you what it is.

[carolineg]

Agreed.  I just felt we were getting some anvils today with the story.  I could be wrong, but that was my first thought.

[Contessa Donatella]

No, I don't think you're wrong. John's biological father is gonna come up. Where they're gonna go with it, no idea!

I hope they do not retcon anything! As far as I know he is John Black and he is Forrest Alamain but there is no reason for him to go by that name.
