Yeah… Leo just needs to die. Hopefully Janet makes it happen.

I’m so tired of him. And I’m getting really tired of soaps and soap writers who have such raging hard ons for the worst characters on their shows. It’s just such a fucked up message to convey.

Emily O’Brien did really well today, but of course, her performance had to be cut short due to the hard on for Leo. 

I did like Shawn/Jada today though. She was actually nice

They really should have explored some kind of relationship between Shawn/Jada. That was a missed opportunity.

The most shocking part of today's episode is that Shawn is still a cop.  How have they not fired him, given that he's been drunk on the job twice?

Also, Gabi is remarkably calm for a woman who has been threatened by a gun for the second time this year.

Agree completely. We've been given ZERO reason to care bout Leo. He's an awful, selfish human being without humanity for anyone but himself. Am I supposed to love him because he gives us gay quips???

Leo has ruined the Dimitri character for me. I was excited to see Peter Porte on the canvas, but what they've done to him is horrific, to the point that I don't care if he lives or dies.

Leo has zero redeeming qualities. Gwen should've shot him. Leo is a miserable excuse for a human being.

Dimitri can just die too. Can't stand him anymore. The story with Leo totally ruined him. Glad Vivian shot him.

Agree 100%

Who would’ve thought that a relationship with Leo would be more character assassinating then trying to kill every Days character in Beyond Salem

It just sucks because Peter Porte is so talented, and charismatic. And just so friggin gorgeous  

He has such an amazing acting range and can play pretty much anything they give him and they give him this.

You’re right. In some ways, it would be better for everybody if Dimitri was killed off. But as much I love Pandrew, an Andrew and Dimitri pairing is still my dream storyline 

Worst gay soap character ever.

Unpopular opinion, but even worse than Daniel Colson on OLTL

This London stuff could be so much better than what it is, but it was nice to see Tripp basically telling Rafe what a lousy cop he is

And now that Tripp is in London, this would be a really good time for Wendy to have some scenes with Johnny. 

Shawn/Belle was the best part of today though. I felt we really got good insight as to the way each character was feeling. Martha and Brandon did really well too

But at the same time, I also gotta say, Belle…

His acting is just average for me. His charm and looks makes him appealing. His acting was bad in the Hallmark movie he was in last month.

Andrew is the only one that can save Dimitri but why would Andrew even give him the time?

Of course Ron already has them set up to be a couple. Dimitri kidnapped Andrew and on Days the person kidnapped falls in love with their kidnapper.

Did anyone else think the scene between Marlena & Talia was very strange?! How is it she concluded Talia had slept with Shawn? Belle told her that Shawn had crashed at Jada's and Talia told her she got drunk & slept with a married man? Was that it? Sometimes Salem is far too small a town! I was surprised she didn't give Talia a referral. 

So, Andrew as savior? Do we have any reason to think the show would book him some more episodes?

Do we know anything about Martha's schedule? 

I'm very annoyed at seeing EOB in the credits for both roles! 

I think PP is a better than average actor & then he is amazingly good-looking but his character is an absolute skeeze.  

I am so tired of Leo that I'm tired of saying so!

Well, have you seen Dimitri?

Please register in order to view this content

The story writes itself: after Leo dies (for real, no chance of coming back) Andrew (after breaking up with Paul) moves back to Salem on an ISA mission determined to take Dimitri down. So, Dimitri then starts plotting to take Andrew down. Eventually, they realize that even though they dislike each other, they’re also attracted to each other. And you play that tension between the two of them for all that you can. 

Or even better, have it be revealed that Andrew and Dimitri did have a relationship when Dimitri was in the ISA and that he feels that Andrew is the one that got away. Which could explain why he was so “in love” with Leo: because he was trying to get over the true love of his life

    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Amber doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that.
