On the one hand, I liked that Chanel and Jada were given the opportunity to discuss racism from their perspective.  So often we see racism and homophobia stories that are only about becoming empowered in the face of being victimized.  However, both women talked about enduring issues that aren't simply resolved by punishing a single evil or ignorant person.

Yet, I think what rings hollow about today's script is that they only seem to discuss race once a year.

I agree.

I love how we've turned Johnny into a quintessential himbo, lol.

Ron Carlivati needs to lean into that more and make Johnny basically the Chrissy Snow of Salem.

Today was a strange one.

I’m not really sure about the way Sloan was written. It almost seemed out of character for her. Her guilt over what’s happened makes sense but she’s never seemed like the type to be intimidated by anyone, not even Marlena. And what was this implication that John and Marlena could be judgmental all about? Maybe this was written around the time that the BTS troubles were reaching their fever pitch. 

I wouldn’t mind Sloan’s guilt driving her to become an alcoholic. Even though I still would have preferred her guilt driving her to sleep with Dimitri

And I’m not sure about Harris either. His anti-Dimera attitude seemed to come out of nowhere. Were his feelings for Ava really that deep already?

I’m glad that Alex finally apologized to Justin though. I hope we get some more insight into the way he’s been feeling. 

I’m still wondering when he even got his law degree

I always get a kick out of seeing especially actresses play drunk & this was in no way a disappointment. Sloan totally got snockered in record time & made an absolute & utter fool of herself. It made perfect sense to me that she worked herself up ahead of time worrying about the kind of impression she'd be making with Marlena & John, although, perhaps it was really just Marlena that she was worried about. She wouldn't be the first woman to be afraid of her husband's mother disapproving of her. For her part in things Marlena is just well put together & calm & unruffled & on top of all that, she's a shrink to practically the entire community. And, of course, we know that Sloan is suffering under the weight of a huge guilty conscience. She clearly was puzzled at Sloan's behavior but then so was Eric! 

I was discussing Fired Guy still being in the closing credits with someone & trying to compute. Alarr was fired on Aug. 4th & they keep 6 months of show in the can, so, counting on my fingers, that comes to Feb. 4th. @JAS0N47 does that sound right?

Yep, we could easily see Sloan slugging down wine at every opportunity! But, you've gotta give up on this Dimitri dream with him gone with no sign of a return. 

I guess I didn't take it as an anti-DiMera attitude. Don't you figure they conducted the raid based on a tip?!! They'd have had to have something like that to be able to get a search warrant. 

Absolutely! And, how brilliant of Justin to get him out of that adult jail. Rehab & group therapy & all of that is gonna be very hard on Tate but it's still so much better than the danger of his being in an adult jail. 

I figure he got a law degree to go along with an MBA, from a business point of view. 

Well, I thought today was another good DAYS.

      If I'm not mistaken, much of this took place while Claire Labine was writing LOL -- and believe me, it was a very compelling show!  Probably the best soap on the air during Labine's short tenure as head-writer.  I assume Labine left LOL to create Ryan's Hope in 1975, but much of the action your describe seems to be her work.  Not sure why -- maybe some dates are off.

      Felicia and Rachel were suddenly represented as friends when Mitch came back to Bay City in 1986 in order to try to add tension to the storyline of Mitch and Felicia getting together. I suppose we are lucky that Margaret DePriest didn't eliminate Felicia as she did Quinn and Maisie for being outside the "core families" of McKinnon/Love/Cory.   Felicia was more antagonistic when she was first introduced. She brought Carl to town not knowing he was Donna's ex. She was carrying on an affair with Cass while he was sneaking around with Cecile behind her back and was livid with him when she found out. She was resentful when Cass signed Julia to Winthrop Publishing. She was friendly with Lily though IIRC.

      Just coming to comment about Joss and I see there is some conversation. I want to know what's with the subtle "moments" between Joss and Emma. I've been noticing it, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.

      In regards to Sam and Amanda... both of them were immature and crappy people.  She was a spoiled daddy's girl while he had a chip on his shoulder.  Both were stubborn and pigheaded... and I'm thankful I've resisted wearing the 2025 lens of assuming women are empowering and men are toxic.... when quite frankly both men and women could stand to be a little less toxic (in real life, of course).. not on my soaps where toxicity should be the norm.

      I'm copying and pasting the entire post because, while I enjoyed the watch, I agree with every single one of your points (as I posted above I thought the dialogue tried for clever sophistication without sounding realistic throughout, in fact.)

      I've just been over Josslyn since her corn costume on Halloween, putting her into a "leading lady" kind of position, simply because she is Carly's daughter, all while backburning other children is annoying AF.

      Hilarious that Steffy just barges into Brooke's house to see Hope without knocking. Ridge bought it, so I guess she feels she's entitled to.

      Joss is nowhere near the top of my list to keep currently.  I just wouldn't kill her off and consider bringing her back sometime down the line.  I guess it depends on how well the show is able to develop the next generation of talent with Rocco, Danny, Georgie, etc.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      I've watched more episodes, but I wanted to make one short comment before I made my longer post. Someone on the show loves dressing men in ways where they have plunging necklines and show lots of chest hair. Not complaining but I think Chief Marceau (sp?) and Logan are the only two who have not shown their chest hair at this point. I have now watched episodes 6077 to 6090. I'm up to September 11, 1979. Nancy and Mike have returned from their vacation. Ann Flood is another wonderful presence. She's only had a few scenes, but I already like her. They're worrying about Draper and his lost job offer in New York. The truth is slowly coming out. I can't say that I'm invested all that much. I still don't care all that much about Draper, but he's no longer bellowing and whining so it's all good. He has had some nice scenes with April and there was an uncomfortable confrontation with Margo. Draper and Logan's scenes are where I like him the best. The two actors play well off each other. Also, Draper and Raven have an interesting thing in scenes. I wonder if they hook up at some point. They always give each other weird looks during scenes. Is this foreshadowing? Hmmm. The Raven of it all. MY word Sharon Gabet is amazing. How did she not win the Emmy? Was this going on during the Judith Light time? Gabet owns every scene. Raven and Eliot's scenes crack me up. Gabet and Lois Kibee are giving masterclass acting scenes in their moments together. I never wanted their confrontations to end. Kibbee's Geraldine has discovered Raven doing something she should not be doing and that confrontation was pitch perfect. The later scene with Logan was shocking. He does something that I've rarely seen on soaps. Such good storytelling and acting. I also liked how April and Draper were drawn into the madness.  Paige/Tobias/kidnapping/Steve: This is the one storyline that suffers because I came into the show late. I'm not connecting to it as much although I enjoy it. Steve and his low cut shirt amuse me. Calvin is such a cute and bright presence. I thought they were writing him off, but he's back  so apparently not. Marceau seems to be leaving but I hope not. The actor is wonderful. Deborah has come back in the episode I just started so Frances Fisher is here. I will say the actor playing Tobias is excellent. I think he was on another ABC show I watched but I'm not googling.  Nora/Owen/Eddie/Brian/Paige: After a week of non-stop Nora, the movie storyline has not started full force yet. It's more about Nora's drinking and Brian and Paige's feelings for each other. Nora is becoming more manipulative as she lies to all of them so they will make the movie. Owen revealed Brian's secret which I accidentally guessed from the first episode, but I actually don't think it's true. Eliot/Margo: Margo had a fantastic scene with April where April confronted her about the real relationship she has with Eliot. Mario admitted the truth. It's so refreshing when characters are intelligent and honest. It makes their mistakes even more heartbreaking. They're not idiots. Eliot is such a fabulous character. He's an absolute slime and yet he's one of the most compelling characters on the show. So nice to be hooked into a soap opera again.

      Joss can go, permanently; killed off, body bag and all, and never ever return.
