Yeah… with that first scene, I’m still not sure how Father Eric ever thought he could make it as a priest

Sloan’s attitude today reminded me of the way she was when she first came to Salem. I have mixed feelings about it but I don’t necessarily hate it. Maybe they should have had her go into more detail as to how she had no idea what raising a child was like and how she thought she  was ready to be a mother but soon realized that she actually wasn’t. 

And yeah, I know there’s Covid protocols and everything, but I think it’s time for the show to have real babies on set again. The blanket just isn’t cutting it anymore. 

I like how Maggie was used today too. It was nice to see her looking out for Theresa and cautioning Alex. He really doesn’t know what he’s in for and him trying to learn could be used to drive story somewhere down the line. For him and for Theresa as well. I like how those scenes were written too. There’s been a lot less prop writing since the scab writers started and that’s always a good thing. 

As for Chad and Everett, I think deciding to interview Clyde about the drug ring is a pretty stupid thing for them to do but I’m interested in what it could lead to. If it were me, after the interview, I’d have Clyde send some guys to go try and kill Chad and Stefan, which they’d try to do at Johnny and Chanel’s wedding. In the aftermath, Clyde would finally be killed off and it would lead to conflict for Johnny and Chanel based on the conversation that Chad and Johnny had yesterday about the Dimeras.

I mean, was it just me or was that scene directed just a whole helluva lot more sexy & hot than, geeze, to compare I have to go to GL Philip & Olivia directed by Bruce Barry. Kudos to Sonia for the way she directed that love scene! I felt like finally we look like a streaming soap!

I applaud Sloan finally having this insight into herself. Of course she's right that they've gotta let the baby self-soothe but who could concentrate on making love with the sound of a baby crying right there so close to hand. They desperately need a bigger apartment with a room or even a cubby hole to use as a nursery. I'm sure their sexual activity wakes the baby.

GH never did the blanket thing. However, they did have some of the biggest newborns ever seen.

And, was it just me or were the scene less chopped up. It seemed more to flow. I suppose that Janet could've made production changes just as soon as she had the position. But, I did like it. 

I just think you can almost feel Alex getting more & more jealous with every passing moment.

Somehow this hard-hitting journalistic approach doesn't seem like the Salem newspaper to me

The story was good and I thought both the actors were good finds.  It feels very unfinished.  I assume they will both be back?

Today's episode was decent.  I felt like there were a lot of characters in this particular episode.  Nothing really happened, but I didn't hate any scenes (except of course Leo's)

Well, if I understand things, and I did say if, but I think this would have been right when the fan campaign was at its height to get Corday to take action on the miscreant coEP/Dir & they had 2 dark weeks that were spur of the moment decisions followed by his firing.

So my point is that it was a crazy time I am sure & maybe they made a quick decision to waylay them for awhile & bring them back when things were calmer. Ya think?

I think the overdose itself was in Carlivati & Quan's plans, so the scabs executed it, but then they put that story on ice because they're not really doing anything huge or canvas-changing during the strike material. But it's taken the most compelling story on the canvas (the drug story) and shifted its focus from Tate, Holly, and their families to... Ava, Stefan, and Harris, which is an absolutely hideous trade.

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
