Yeah, John really needs a comb

I’m still not enjoying the storyline but I liked the conversation John and Steve had today about bad memories. In some ways, it seemed more sophisticated than what we’re used to.

I say the same thing about Stephanie/Everett’s scenes. It was nice to see Stephanie finally open up. We got more of an understanding of why she took the actions that she did in this storyline. And she did seem a little smarter than usual about the whole situation too. I didn’t expect Everett to come clean about Jada right away but I’m looking forward to when that finally happens. I think this part of the storyline has been constructed and plotted out really well. 

Harris breaking Lucas out of prison seemed really random though. The way it was written, it was almost like there was an episode missing. We should have seen Harris breaking him out and Kate and Roman finding out that Lucas was missing. I hope we continue to see Lucas once this storyline ends. Him, out of prison and trying to rebuild his life would be a good storyline.

Even disturbed, not sleeping, unkempt Drake looks good. I would say he's incapable of looking bad if not for the Mexican adventure in '91 when those Bermuda shorts that people wore then look absolutely horrific on him!

The scabs are writing much better dialog. We are getting so spoiled! However, I know they're trying for a slow build on this "John's past as the Pawn" storyline & I'm trying to be patient but it's not working & I find myself trying to will them to get underway with it!

Well, I respect your take on it but, me, I am bored with the two of them. Bored with him, period. Bored with her when she's with him.

Except for JT/Roman's speech about how & why Lucas is family to him, I found all of that boring & strange which is an odd combination.

Today's show was directed by Satan's EP Alarr. I keep hoping for the last time we see that name in the credits

How long is Lucas's prison sentence?  I feel like he's been in jail for years and years now lol.  Even Lani is allegedly getting out and she killed a man.  All Lucas did was kidnap Sami.  That's barely even a crime.  Why would anyone want Sami lol?  BD needs to cut his hair though stat!

The John/Steve stuff is a bit weird.  Has Steve been hiding the truth from John for 40 years now?  That seems odd.  I guess we will see where this goes.  

I though Theresa and Alex were kind of charming today.  The world feels off axis, but their scenes were cute?

Stephanie and Everett are a snooze.  If they had any chemistry it would be one thing, but they really don't.  AK was much better with BF, RSW and even Steve Burton.

Been thinking. Everett said he had a confession to make & then he never made one. Why didn't Stephanie call him on that?!

And, also, Alex said that Marlena was very understanding about his schedule. So it was night when she was seeing him, wasn't it?

4/10

First, I don't like it when DAYS sets up a cliffhanger, like Xander on Friday, and then there's no payoff on Monday.

Second, the amount of action that they tell us about rather than show us, like Lucas breaking out of prison, has become bizarre.  At least, have Harris drag in the laundry bin into the room and let Lucas pop out.

But, I'm still intrigued by Everett's backstory.  I hope he just cheated on Jada with Stephanie, and it is not anything more nefarious than that.  Because I enjoy the potential of The Spectator as a workplace (even if they do silly things like sponsor treasure hunts).  And, I would not like it if he was written into a corner as a drug kingpin, or some big baddie.

Lastly, I know he has many detractors, and there are times when he makes me cringe, but I get the appeal of RSW.  He is sexy and charismatic, and it is believable that women would be instantly smitten with him.

Ugghhh Why does Leo still exist?

And, why did Kayla talk about Johnny like he’s not her nephew lol Btw I see Johnny got a haircut.

Don’t have much to say about today but I still like how everything is being set up. Even Ava and Stefan, though I don’t know why. Maybe they each needed a person to talk to about the way they were feeling, or about how lonely each of them were.

I do have to admit that I thought the obsession with Stephanie’s love life today was a little creepy and heavy handed though. Do people actually do that in real life?

@JAS0N47 Hey, I've got a question. So, Janet Spellman-Drucker showed up yesterday first time as new co-EP in closing credits. Why then is Alarr still credited as the director of the day both yesterday & today? Janet wasn't promoted until the week after Alarr was fired. So, I am confused. Can you help me out? Thanks!

Whoa, Stephanie doing the walk of shame & caught by UGH-Leo. (I think that should be his new name.) Later Leo tried to get Everett's goat by letting him know he saw Steph leaving his room but he referred to her as Sally. UGH-Leo is weird, but then we knew that. 

Odd but interesting conversations today. Stefan's in a bad mood so Johnny picks now to razz him about "Love the one you're with when you're with Ava Vitali!" Unpleasant conversation.

I never thought about it before but it seemed weird to me that Steve sleeps in his eyepatch. 

Kayla reminded us that she & Steve wed on Valentine's when she congratulates Chanel.

Maybe it's just me but I think her engagement ring is ugly.

Ava & Wendy had an unpleasant conversation. 

Chanel has a great attitude about other people's business not concerning her.

Steve & Stephanie had a wonderful conversation!!! More please.

Chanel's engagement ring looks so cheap.  Walmart has classier rings for sale.  It's so big and gaudy lol.

I agree with Stephanie her love life is not that exciting and she is a grown woman that can do what she wants.  Why would anyone care? 

Does Steve really wear his eye patch do bed?  Lol

The Wendy and Ava scenes were strange and unnecessary.  I thought Ava and Wendy got along fine.

I made the same reaction, sorta. Someone replied to me that if there is an empty socket there then he would need to because he has to keep foreign bodies from getting in there. Given the surgery that Marcus did when he was then fitted with the prosthetic, I am sure that what is there is in fact an empty socket.

With names like "Stephanie" and "Wendy," you'd think we were talking about SFT.

There's a real "Donna Martin graduates" vibe to all the talk about Stephanie's love life.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
