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.

      I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable.

      I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
