https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/commentary/a-critics-review-of-days-a-roundup-of-the-best-and-worst-of-2023/ 

First, let me see if there's any I agree with. Flashback Usage, Megan Best Villain, Chad & Steph Break-up, Hoofing, Worst Death Victor's, Susan Banks BFTD, Ruined Bope Reunion, Shirtless Xander, Holly Jonas, okay, that's a LOT! But, disagree, uh-oh! Leo & Dimitri WORST ROMANCE, Sloan "ends up with" Nicole's baby? Try steals!!!! Xander is the true heir is a story they haven't told yet! Alex? Lack of Personal Growth!!! Sloan is Worst Parent!

Not sure what to make of today’s Chad/Harris/Everett brofest, but I didn’t really mind it, even though Chad is a bit of a dick for not spending the entire day with his kids. Bruh, it’s Christmas

I still don’t like Everett, but him being a part of the drug storyline with Harris and everybody could be interesting. 

I liked the Kiriakis family scenes, except for Konstantin’s part in it. He really is like the Leo Stark of this storyline. He just messes it up every time he’s on. The best part of this is the Alex/Xander dynamic. I hope they continue to keep building it up until the secret finally comes out and that Justin starts playing a bigger part in it as well. And I’m glad that we got updates about Bo/Hope and Will/Sonny.

And, we got a new set!

It kind of reminded me of the alley behind Shenanigans, from back in the day. I hope it’s put to good use and doesn’t just disappear like the kitchen at Sweet Bits did.

Wasn’t really a fan with the lack of consistency with Stefan though. Yesterday, he was so determined to try and stop Clyde but today, he came off like such a victim. There’s gotta be someone that Stefan can reach out to in order to get Clyde killed.

And, thank you @j swift! Hope you had a good holiday.

I confess I continue to like these scab-written days, DAYS, etc. 

You are so right about Chad being wrong. Doug & Julie are too old to have to mind your children 24 hours a day! 

There was no Leo! Hip hip hooray! 

I hope something ill befalls Constantin. Saying he's going back to Greece but then telling Theresa no he's not really. 

Right in the middle of my episode, the video stopped & just sat there & buffered for about 20 minutes. I suspect it  must be a time when Infinity goes on the blink in my whole neighborhood. 

I was trying to think: How long has it been since Brady has seen Rachel? IOW, what month did he lose custody? Also, has Abe now had amnesia since June?!!! Pretty long times for some things to be dragging on.

To be fair, a little later Johnny was possessed by the devil, his eyes glowed red, and she didn't notice that either, so she might just have poor eye contact

But yeah, he had retinoblastoma as a kid and had his eye removed

It's the regular excuse, Justin said she was off to visit Mimi.

I recall they hyped up this Bo news in the fall preview, but if that's all there is, it was kind of a con.

Why doesn't Alex shave for Christmas?

Konstantin has a thing for tablecloths, didn't he gift a lace one to Maggie already?

The excuse about Rachel is becoming an AMC-Bobby-Martin-skiis-in-the-attic situation.  How is Kristin keeping Brady from visiting?

I hope Holly's not going to get caught up in the drug ring situation.

4.7/10

    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • 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).
