I don't want to deep dive LW's Carly's love scenes anymore, okay?

Suggestive is whatever to me and the Jax/Carly scenes were more lighthearted.  There was something about the Sonny/Carly limo scene that disturbed my soul.

Honestly, I remember them clearly so I must subconsciously.

I do find it a weird shift for Sonny to be so sure Jason is working against him.  It's like there's about 30 years of contrary evidence to that and you would think he dig more.

I finally watched today's ep.

I don't get the implications surrounding John?  Does this make him a bad guy?  Is he not really working for the FBI?  Or, is it justifiable that Jason has done a lot of illegal activity in the service of importing coffee and this is the federal official's way of a plea bargain. Jason described his job as a mercenary, but I am interested to get more insight into John's motives.  Because this seems like an extreme reaction to a long-running dislike of Sonny.  For example, why do all of this now and not two decades ago?

And all of this feels like a very expensive and overly complicated way to get rid of an elderly mob boss who lives in a small town in upstate New York.  Especially, from what we've seen, they could've just tripped him and made him fall in the pool like Ned.

I'm thinking Carly, when Sonny was in Nixon Falls, she ran his mob family. The Feds are always tapping phones. In the newly created flashback, Jagger said he was about to hear incontrovertible proof of Ricco violations, a Federal crime, carrying a 20-year sentence. 

This is the most humanity I've ever seen in Jason Morgan.

I had similar hope, but Jason's use of the term mercenary felt very deliberate.  And the idea that unless he carries out his mission, something terrible would happen, doesn't feel like how a network show would want to portray the FBI.  If it was the WSB there might be more wiggle room, but I'm stuck on it being the FBI and that they invoked the RICO law.

Also, the SORAS implications of Jason telling Michael what it was like to hold him as an infant, were distractingly amusing.  Along with the idea that, Jason's been busy as a murder-for-hire assassin for the past two years, but he's also had plenty of time to get a sleeve of tattoos.  Good to know mercenaries have unlimited PTO.

LOL, I was reacting to the other side of the equation. If Jason held Michael as a baby, he'd be middle-aged now.   So, the idea that John and the FBI would recruit a guy in his early 50s as a mercenary feels a bit preposterous.

Thank you!  That's pretty much what I thought.

I don't exactly get what you are saying.  Jason is middle aged now so is Jagger.  They are literally the same age and went to high school together.  Jason is supposedly a very good hitman/shot so it's not like age is actually that big of a deal if you can easily hit a target and are athletic.

Jason did hold Michael as a baby.  That's a real thing you can look up.  I am not even trying to be mean, but what Jason said did happen in real time on the show.

Good point, and I never take your responses as mean spirited @carolineg .  I guess I was just thinking that Jason would have more salient (or recent) memories of Bobbie than from when Michael was a baby in 1997.  So, I was simply distracted that they chose that moment to highlight her loss, and we can chalk it up to a failed attempt at humor on my part.

Does Jason know that Brit's also dead?

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

      Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
