Today was… ehhh.

Hopefully, when we reach the episodes that were written solely by scab writers, they’ll be less obsessive prop writing.

Leo just needs to die.

Alex is another character that gets the obsessive writing as well. I think I actually would have liked his and Stephanie’s scenes if there wasn’t an agenda at play. Crazy how this team gets tired of some characters and storylines so quickly, but these two clowns are still shoved down our throats.

I’m still Team Chad, even though he overreacted today about Alex and Stephanie. He really is the best example of what a gray character should be. 

Steve’s scenes were the best part of today, both with Stephanie and with Jada.  I liked him encouraging Stephanie not give up, and also him and Jada remembering Marcus. That’s the way that you use history.

And btw, Dimitri’s gone? Just like that? I’m sure we’ll see him again but damn lol

I didn't dislike today. Well, Leo, Alex, goes without saying. But ignoring them, I am over the moon with Patch & Stephanie and then Patch & Jada. Finally! 

And, about Leo dying, him & Alex, too, please! 

One more thing. They should have found a way, not hard, to show a pic. So, I will.

I don't dislike Stephanie or anything, but I just don't find her compelling enough to have three men chasing her.  She's nice and pretty, but I don't find her to have any distinct personality traits.  Someone like Jada is much more interesting and gets half the screen time.

5.5/10, I thought Tuesday was better than Monday.

I appreciate for all the kerfuffle around the disrespect for female characters in the writing, that Nicole is not being treated as a raving lunatic (yet, because I saw the spoilers).  It was a unique touch to have EJ support her, and the scene at Eric's place was nice.  Kind of weird though that Eric and Sloan are walking around like business as usual.  We just welcomed a baby in our family and his parents didn't leave the house, shower, or eat a proper meal for a week!

Also, props to remembering that Eric and Jada were a thing.  I've been wondering about her reaction, and it was delightful to close that loop, especially since she was the cop that arrested Leo at the scene of the birth.  I think mid-week episodes are perfect for that kind of scene, which essentially summarize the story, but through a pairing of characters that don't usually interact.

Furthermore, I continue to like Chad.  It is a credit to the actor that I don't find conventionally attractive, and whose motives are childlike, that I keep wanting to see more of that character. 

Now, here's the thing I don't get.  Dimitri had immunity for the whole caper on Beyond Salem.  It's not like probation, where one false move, and they send you back to jail.  So, why is he going to supermax now?  It seems like a convenient way to extend the baby switch plot, but now Leo's got nothing on Sloan, if Dimitri can't testify about the baby.  So, I don't see how he's much of a threat?  On the other hand, if they wrote Sloan as an intelligent person, she would've known that getting rid of Dimitri was her best move. So, she could've tanked the negotiation to get him sent away, and she should be working on making Leo beholden to her ASAP.

Lastly, I'm totally confused as to the purpose of making Dimitri's final scene with Lucas, considering that it meant nothing if Dimitri was going to be moved off-screen the next day.

True.  Stephanie's entire story is juggling these men.  She doesn't have friends, she doesn't have interesting conflicts with her family or anyone else.  She's basically just 3 men's prize to win.  Stephanie needs more an edge or something.  Or one or two of these men need to drop out.

I also rewound looking for the punch I know I didn't see. Is it possible that it looked super phoney in editing and they decided to omit it? Maybe no fight choreographer was on hand so they only shot the aftermath?

Did Jada ever mention an ex-husband before the Everett reveal? I don't recall. All I remember is her coming across as pretty thirsty for a man when she first came to town. Am I forgetting the detail that she was rebounding?

I found it curious that they'd cast a guy who could certainly be a slightly younger Johnny recast as Tate. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but the choice has grown on me in terms of Holly. It makes some interesting comments on the ideas of a. not realizing what's right in front you, and b. how the heart wants what the heart wants and no degree of superficiality can change that.

Today was actually pretty good, despite there being a strange obsession with socks

But finally, a Stephanie/Jada scene!

I liked it. The actresses seem to play off each other well and it’s always good to get a friendship scene between characters. It was the right decision to have Stephanie’s ex and Jada’s ex be the same person. That opens up this storyline to so many more possibilities. Also, some people may disagree lol but Harris being a part of this storyline, and to an extension Stefan/Ava, could be good as well.

And finally, a Theresa/Tate scene. And just like I’m sure we all suspected, it was lousy. EOB’s Theresa did not come off as  Tate’s mother at all. She came off more like the uninterested, gold digging stepmother lol It just seems so out of character, especially since we were told for years that Theresa was pretty much  raising Tate all on her own and was devoted to him. If they were gonna go this route, they should’ve at least had Theresa say that she was stepping back a little on raising Tate now that Brady is playing a bigger part in his life. 

Btw, Shane and Kim were married three times? I thought it was only twice. 

Brady/Tate was a good parent-child scene though. Brady seems to be doing what he can in order to show Tate that he does care, while also trying to help him stay on the straight and narrow and I like that. It’s a good dilemma for Brady… and it finally keeps him away from Kristen.

I wonder if anything’s gonna happen now that Brady gave Tate his credit card. It could lead to some kind of conflict for him and Holly. 

And idk why but I enjoyed Stefan/Ava today as well, even though I’m not liking their storyline at the moment and Clyde needs to die. But it may actually improve if that happened lol. And with Ava calling Stefan Jake today, it seems like they may be going with some kind of transference storyline and I actually don’t mind that. 

One thing though, since Days is written and taped so far ahead, they really should cut out any pop culture references. Does anyone still stream Mrs. Davis?

Yeah.

It was mentioned from the beginning that she had been divorced.

John and Marlena are this show’s centerpiece super couple and they barely air. Hopefully that changes once Janet’s production begins to air. 

Out of the current crop of characters who would you cut? I’d get rid of Stephanie, Patch, Kayla, Tripp, Wendy, EJ, Ava, Harris, Rafe, Sarah, Xander, Brady, Maggie, Roman, Chad, and Alex. 
 

Yeah that’s a lot but there are plenty of characters they could bring back and plenty of kids to SORAS like Noah and Sydney.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.

      @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.
