Almost two full weeks we went without seeing Leo. Too bad that streak had to end

Today was the perfect example as to why I hate him so much. He really is Days’ Joss and both soaps would be much better off if they were killed off. 

Can I just say how glad I am that Gwen is not dumb though? Hopefully, she gets back at Dimitri, Leo, Kristen, etc. in every way possible. 

Look at this, Uncle Ron’s got me supporting Gwen. Color me shocked

I did kind of like Vivian reuniting with Stefan but I was expecting a little more. I thought they had a good relationship and today it seemed like they hated each other. 

I also liked Dimitri stepping up to defend his cousin Carly against Vivian’s attacks. Vivian vs Dimitri could be an interesting dynamic, but I think this was a Jamey episode, so it’ll probably never be referred to again. But that little exchange was also more proof that Peter Porte is too talented an actor to be pigeonholed into this one shitty style with Greg Rikaart. He deserves so much better than what he’s getting. Here’s to hoping he runs into Paul and Andrew next week

And btw, everybody seriously left Maggie alone at the Kiriakis mansion overnight with Vivian? Wtf?

So magic penis is back. Jamey must've written today's eppy. Even the Vivian scenes are over the top.

Everyone knowing about Leo but Gwen one of the most bright evil characters doesn't? Yeah right...dumb down the character to make the story work.

Leo wears the ugliest shirts. 

Can someone put a bullet into Leo?

I was actually surprised with the ending. I thought Gwen was sticking it to Leo when she talked about how great Dimitri was in bed.

Dimitri has turned into a big cartoon character. It's a shame what Leo and the writers have done to him.

Hooray! For Gabi, Gwen, and Theresa, good to see women taking charge.

It seems like Alex and Brady's whole "investigation" could have been done over the phone, but I guess that's not as cinematic.  I like the banter between those two, it is like dumb and dumber.

Maggie, possession is nine-tenths of the law (at least that's what they used to say on The Brady Bunch, where I acquired most of my legal knowledge), don't move out of the mansion until Vivian has a judge's order!  And certainly, don't move back to the Horton House, which you should own, but every stray cousin has moved in and never changed to rug.

I feel like there was an episode in Iceland where Gwen listened to Leo/Dmitri's dumb excuses and the last shot was her looking away disgusted like she knew they were lying.  There wasn't any follow up and I can't remember the exact episode but I definitely remember a look that made me think she was on to their game.

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • 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.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
