A lot of plot holes in todays episode.

I love how Sloan had a fake copy of the test results and the exact same envelope that the hospital gave out all ready to go just in case she needed them for a situation like this

Seriously, do hospitals even give out paper test results anymore?

And I’m glad for the twist with Xander but the whole thing with Alex just seems unnecessary. Surprisingly, I thought RSW did well today, probably because he came off as the bad guy and not the romantic lead that the show tries to prop him as. 

And I’m still not a fan of EOB’s Theresa. I feel like she just seems to be playing a role. She hasn’t fully immersed herself in the character of Theresa, the way that Jen Lilley did. Or the way that she did with Gwen. 

I still think Days would be a lot better if they just balanced out the canvas more and got rid of all the biased prop writing. And all the toxicity on set. Hopefully, with most of that gone, we’ll see some good changes.

Yes, Sloan having the right Kraft envelope with a test result in it, every villainess always should be so prepared! Also, ringing the front door & running around to the patio doors on the side, coming in & having plenty of time to do the switch & look around, like she had no need to hurry. 

And since when does Marlena make early morning unannounced visits to her kids? Eric is Mr. Unflappable. She seems to think it is amusing that Sloan thinks Marlena doesn't like her. There was quite a lot of exposition today. 

And I have no idea why Xander went to see Alex! 

Constantin was really pissed that Victor left him nothing since it was his family's seed money that got Vic started in business. 

Again today I did not hate the show but I sure didn't love it either. 

Oh, yeah, again today I could find no fault with Nicole's hair! It seems it's been a good while since I whined about that. Hmm.

There's something funny about tuning into GH and seeing how much Wally Kurth's appearance changed in six months.

Hot take, EOB could've kept the British accent and justified it by saying she was spending more time with her father Shane in the UK while Tate was in school (like Madonna).  As it stands, I feel bad for Kimberly, isn't she supposed to be ill and that's why Theresa lives with her?  Now that the supply chain is effecting her company, I hope Kim isn't back out on the streets.  I like EOB's charisma, and I have no connection to Jen Lilly's take as being groundbreaking, so I don't mind, it seems very temporary.  And it'll allow for a refresh on Gwen.

Also, I'm still stuck on the idea that Theresa met Alex once, and now they're entwined, he's a baddie, and they're living together. 

If everything stays at this pace, I expect Tate and Holly to get married, have a baby, start a company and buy the Horton House by Thanksgiving.

I am a few days behind on the show because of life things, but I think EOB's wig is much worse than her American accent.  She does fine with it IMO.  The show can ditch the wig immediately though. I don't think the audience is confused about the fact another actress is playing Theresa.  

It's clear I am a big fan of Jen Lilley, so I can be biased, but there is something warm and likeable about her Thersea and that's just not the type of character EOB plays well.  It's just an ill fit for EOB in general.  We are obviously stuck with her, but it really is a baffling decision for the show.  I really do think EOB is a good actress and does have charisma and a certain charm, but this character is just not for her.

I'm also sorry to see Talia go. I really did think that she'd be around for a while when she got the job at the hospital. I still haven't warmed up to Jada but having her sister around was helping. She and Rafe do nothing for me, but I don't mind their function as supporting players.

Vivian's return was all too short, will she be back anytime soon?

Like others, I didn't trust Constantin from the start. He was giving me major Buddy Rourke vibes, for those of you who get that Golden Girls reference.

Talk about heavy-handed.

How many times did Xander have to say, "if I were Victor's son" in one episode?

I know why I tend to overthink DAYS mysteries, because I can't believe they make it this obvious.

Also, there are like 80 people living at the Dimera house, didn't one of them see Sloan skulking about?  And it was so soapy that EJ could not find the time to open an envelope over the course of 42 minutes.

I already mentioned Sloan’s plot hole, but apparently Alex just didn’t notice that most of the letter wasn’t in his mother’s handwriting or that the last page had to have looked a lot younger than the other pages

I’m still waiting for them to have Konstantin say that back in the 80s, he was a high school janitor

I've forgotten, is EJ even aware of the possibility that Eric's the father of Nicole's baby? 

I thought Nicole lied to get him to do the DNA test based on health issues.  So, it seems odd today when he was excited to see the results because they confirmed that he's daddy (meanwhile, not too excited that he couldn't do 8 million other things before he opened the envelope).

Speaking of plot holes, are we to assume that Nicole got the results on Friday, left the hospital, drove home, put them on the table, and never looked at them to see that Eric's the father?  Or, are we supposed to believe that she's just too dumb to know what the results mean?  Which I guess is possible if she didn't memorize EJ or Eric's genotype.

And, if it's so late that Marlena was surprised that Sloan had to go see a client, why was she visiting Eric at that late hour?  And is that hit lady still in the hospital?  Because everyone seems to have forgotten about her.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
