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

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
