Wouldn’t it be so nice if Leo was killed off while Ron was on strike? I know it’s not happening, but it’s nice to dream about. Hopefully, they’ll be a lot less prop writing at least.  

I enjoyed Nicole’s therapy session with Marlena. Ari is still killing it. And I’m glad that Nicole confessed that, for a time, she did wish that the baby was Eric’s. With the way that Ari’s always played it, you could always tell that, deep down, Nicole wanted that. And I like that Nicole is now determined to be a good mother to Holly. Once Eric and Nicole reunite, Holly finding out the truth about her father’s death could be a really good storyline. 

Btw, Eric has a job?

As for Konstantin, I still can’t stand him but I am a little interested in him knowing John from the past or wherever. I wonder if this was in Ron’s plan or if this is a strike story. It could be good. I just hope that it doesn’t contradict John’s already convoluted backstory. 

That’s for sure lol 

And besides, it’s been SIX AND A HALF YEARS!!!

Even if things were going good, it would still be time for a change 

I like Harris as well. And its always good to see SB play someone that’s not a Jason clone, or Jason like at all. 

Was it Mia?

Give Ron a chance under Janet’s production. I’m sure you’ll see that the problem was always Alarr. 

Meanwhile, Days needs to fire its lousy script editor Fran Meyers as well as ALL of their script writers. They are the actual problem with the writing on Days.

——————————

Have you noticed continuity often doesn’t line up with previous episodes? That’s Fran’s job to catch and correct and she simply doesn’t do it.

Her son Henry Newman is a nepo hire.

In addition, Fran cuts mentions of history, including references that are often important to upcoming story. 

She’s foul. She needs to go. 

I’m so tired of people like Fran getting away with her nonsense and not being held accountable by the show or the audience. And I’m so tired of Ron being the scapegoat for things he’s not even responsible for. Alarr’s biases played a heavy role in the writing, particularly over the last couple of years. Ron has to work within certain parameters. He doesn’t have carte blanche.

4.2/10

Doesn't Konstantin rolling his ankle feel similar to the last excuse he used to stay in Salem?  Much like the tablecloth he bought Maggie for Christmas feels like a repeat of the lace he bought her earlier and pretended it was from Greece?  What's up with the déjà vu in this story?

Also, kind of humorous to see Black-Patch rough up Konstantin considering they're like two years younger than him.  When John picked him up, I expected his back to go out.

Also, today I got why everyone goes to Marlena for therapy, despite the fact that she's a psychiatrist in a hospital without a private practice.  Nicole, Eric, and Harris don't have any friends.  So, they use their insurance to talk to Marlena.  It's not therapy.  It is just a substitute for not to talking to themselves aloud like they did in the James Reilly days.

Finally, I'm sure Maggie knows John's backstory, but I wonder if she was in town when he first moved to Salem?  I know Maggie spent some time in New York, so I'd like to know if she met John when he thought that he was Roman?  Just so she'll have some perspective when the whole Konstantin tale is revealed.

I liked today's episode.  Loved the Marlena/Nicole scenes.  No matter how unrealistic it was for Marlena to be her psychiatrist.  I thought Ari was great!

I was cracking up at Drake literally only having one line today.  Why was he just sitting in a chair watching Steve threaten Konstantin.  So weird lol.

@j swiftI am 99% sure Maggie was in town when John/Roman showed up.  I believe she was gone from 84-85. She definitely knew John as Roman and had scenes with him.

I'll be honest, the Paris webisodes were pretty boring IMO.  Austin being in them was weird, but I do think it's one of the first Li Shin appearances!  Unless you're a Chad/Abby completionist (which I am certainly not) I can't really recall anything too exciting happening.   The Last Blast webisodes were much better.

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
