Again, poor dumb Tate lol
As much as I like Tate and his relationships with Holly, his family, etc., and enjoy seeing it all onscreen, I'm still not entirely sure what they're going for with him possibly flunking out of Salem U. The only way I could see this all working would be if Tate actually does flunk out and ends up getting involved with something that causes conflict with Holly and everybody. I'm curious to see what's going to happen, especially now that he's on academic probation and because it looks like he might not be going to Paris with Holly after all. Or if it's going to involve Rachel and Sophia somehow. Maybe something good will happen now that Rachel told Brady and Tate that Sophia is her new friend. I'm still not a fan of the two of them teaming up together though. And I like that he also got to have scenes with his Aunt Belle.
Speaking of Belle, I thought she was used effectively today. And I couldn't be happier that Marlena finally got out of the hospital. I like how she comforted Marlena over everything that happened with Brady and Rachel, and that Marlena had someone to talk to. It's interesting to see Dr. Evans need someone as much as other characters have needed her. I don't, for a second, think that Marlena is going to stop seeing patients but I wouldn't mind a storyline where she actually goes through something like that. A Marlena-centered storyline, along with her being estranged from Brady is a great idea, and exactly what she, and Days in general, need right now, especially in the aftermath of John's death.
I also enjoyed Brady vs. Xander, even though I wish those scenes had gone a little longer. There's still a lot that Xander needs to say about Brady temporarily living at the Kiriakis house. Hopefully, today was the first battle of many. But I'm glad that he got to argue about it with Sarah though. Even when they're at odds, they're still so good together. Lindsay Godfrey has improved so much. She doesn't play those kind of scenes with Xander/PT as so mean and nasty anymore lol I also enjoyed the flashback that Xander had of when he gave Sarah red shoes.
As for the Dimeras in the crypt, as much as I think Kristen is played out and needs to be written out, I thought Stacy Haiduk did a good job today, as she absorbed the news about Rachel remembering everything and being locked up in Bayview
And again, I have to ask, has there been any word about who EJ's shooter was originally supposed to be?
