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

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
