Going back to the passport thing with Ava, Harris, Tripp, and Wendy - which looks like it might become an issue this week - are Wendy and Li citizens of the US? 

Their father Wei Shin lives in Hong Kong, where I assume his wife gave birth, so why do his children hold US passports?

Shane!!

This was a total surprise, especially considering that Charles Shaughnessy was still on GH when this was all filmed. I can’t believe Days was able to keep this secret for so long lol 

It was great seeing him again and to see that he is a part of the Victor storyline. Now, if only his son had a bigger part in it

I’m still really interested in this mystery surrounding Victor. It was the saving grace of this episode actually. 

Everything involving Leo makes me cringe. And I can’t believe that it’s starting to look like Dimitri/Peter Porte is being sacrificed for him as well. As we saw today, the man has an amazing acting range and to waste him in order to prop the worst character on the show right now is ridiculous. Btw, I still love how we have to ignore the fact that Dimitri loves Leo so much, but was willing to let him die in Beyond Salem. 

And, I’m glad we got an explanation from Gwen. This is the most I’ve liked her in years and I look forward to her getting back at everyone. 

As for Gabi/Stefan, right now they’re the perfect example as to why you should never rush through a storyline. They deserve a lot better than just being secondary characters in Dimitri’s story.

I like the Gwen and Kristen stuff.  I think Stacy Haiduk does a better job playing Kristin as a delightful schemer, rather than a homicidal vixen.  And I enjoy the consistency that the character of Kristin has always been a good friend to her allies.

Question of the Day

Why did Theresa have to break into Victor's briefcase?  Certainly, Shane would not have dropped off a locked case for Brady without a key or a code.  And even Alex isn't dumb enough not to notice that the case with tampered with.   Given the soap-laws-against-cell-phone-usage, I won't question why Shane didn't call Brady when he recovered the case, because clearly that's what a rational person would do IRL.

However, I really liked the way that Shane interacted with Theresa.  It makes sense with their history that he wants someone who puts his daughter first.  And he knows that Theresa has done much worse things than using Alex to make Brady jealous.  So, I appreciated that rather than getting angry, he just reassured her that she deserves more.

I pretty much have tired of Gabi and Stefan. They need to both go.

So now Dimitri is going to kill them? He's going back to being a thug when he was a spineless wimp all this time with Leo. Whatever. I just want Gwen to really get some sweet revenge.

Dimitri and Leo have ZERO rooting value. They are one awful couple. Gwen needs to kill Leo.

It's too bad Shane had zero scenes with his son Andrew.

Here's the thing (as has been said before) there's zero tension in the Stefan v EJ war. 

Neither of them ran Dimera Enterprises for a significant amount of time.  Neither has a plan that is being diminished by the presence of the other at the company.  And they're both always going to be rich regardless of their title. 

If anyone dies because of this fight (as I assume will occur), it is a pity, because it is a meaningless rivalry with no stakes involved.

Dramatic Writing 101 - the audience needs to feel the tension in order to commit to the plot.  For example, I am committed to finding out what happened to Victor, because I care about Maggie.  But this EJ v Stefan story is forgettable.

Kyle Lowder sucks, he was absolutely terrible, horrible as Brady, and thank God they didn't bring him back as Brady!!  It was stupid they brought him in as Rex, and gave him Kyle Lowder's dumb Brady personality instead of the nice smart guy Rex was with Eric Winter in the role.  DAYS should re-cast Rex with a guy similar to Eric Winter, who CAN ACT!  But knowing DAYS now, they'll cast Greg Rikaart LMFAO.

I LOVE Leo! He's very entertaining. Unpopular opinion on here but who cares! Obviously other viewers feel the same way or they wouldn't keep writing for Leo. Loved today's Leo centric episode. I wish they'd use Leo more often but given Days budget, I know they can only use characters so many times per week.

Jada was really smart today. Maybe she does deserve the commissioners job more than Rafe does. Guy wasn’t even smart enough to make sure he had cops at the airport to intercept Ava and Harris

I thought Shawn/BB did well today. He’s another one that a couple of characters should take lessons from

Adding Talia into this storyline adds another dynamic to it, and I’m interested in seeing how it’s going to play out. In some ways, it could also be tied to EJ/Nicole/Eric/Sloan, especially since Belle and Nicole seemed to be so friendly lately. 

Speaking of Nicole, her hair did look better today, but it still looks like she’s wearing a wig. 

Mixed feelings about Ava/Harris though. Not bringing Johnny into it, in order to cause conflict for Tripp/Wendy would be a big mistake.

Was there a sale at Bartlett's?  Why are Harris, Shawn and Eric wearing the exact same shirt?

The last time that I saw two characters in the same scene wearing the same wardrobe, it was done intentionally for humor (also, bad hair is a DAYS tradition).

At least you know your opinion on Leo is unpopular. But "Other viewers feel the same way"? Uh...with DAYS' taping schedule, there's no way to know that. Ron C. doesn't take any of our feelings into consideration.

The idea of Leo appearing even more often is gagworthy. The character is an abomination.

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
