I've been forced to watch some of the past 2 days of this show and I'm astounded we're telling this type of lazy, tone deaf story in 2024. It's unwatchable and all I feel is sympathy for the actors who have to act it out.

They're telling a story of this young girl basically being drugged and raped without telling that story. It's gross. She immediately believed Zende's version of events, they even had her say something like "Of course you wouldn't force yourself on me!". How do you know?? And how do the writers even enjoy writing this crap?

Yes, her not even questioning Zende's motives was insane. Who wouldn't at least question it?? She barely knows Zende.

Poor Zende. They're writing him into a corner with this crap.

They could have told a similar but much less damaging story. On Poppy's special mints...don't even get me started on the mints...she climbs into Zende's bed. When he gets home, Zende is shocked to see her there just as RJ walks in on Zende and Luna trying to figure out how this happened. It would be enough to plant doubts in RJ's head about Luna.

After sobbing for most of the episode and a fake out.... Poppy finally tells Luna those were her mints.

Mom you drugged me? 

Terrible episode.

Those missing it due to preemptions aren't missing a thing.

These are my soap binge hours. I have terrible sleeping schedule lately - watching soaps till 6 in the morning and sleeping for 4-5 hours.  I just can't enjoy the shows with my husband and the dog around. I need to be completely alone to watch and feel the emotion.  When you add a glass of wine... I have a soap party every night.

    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
