And I'd love to see Jamie sing and dance to Bills, Bills, Bills and Single Ladies.

Really enjoyed the interview with Jamie.

Everything with John and Steve was a little weird. Why would John go to Harris to ask about brainwashing and recovering from it? John should already be an expert in that field

And, Days seems to be making John and Steve breaking Clyde out of prison a lot bigger than it really is or should be. Sort of like what GH did with Nina tipping off the SEC. Kayla being so angry at Ava could be interesting though. 

Maggie and Julie’s scenes were nice, despite all the talking about Konstantin. And it was good that everyone finally remembered that Maggie is Holly’s grandmother. They really should establish a relationship between the two of them. 

Brady/Theresa/Alex was the best part of today. I might not have liked the way that this was all thrown together but I do like the way that it’s being built up and where it could lead to in the future. I just hope the payoff is worth it. 

As for the ending…

Your opinions are so good that other people share them too

It was another weird time jump day when it seems like nobody has spoken to each other in a month.

I think Steve saw Kayla at the hospital when they rescued Tripp.  So, why did he wait to tell her about Clyde until two weeks later?

Brady and Alex work together every day, so why is he just learning that Theresa moved into his apartment?

I continue to think that DAYS hasn't adapted its storytelling to streaming.  It seems unnecessary to have over 50% of the episode be a recap for viewers.  The short scenes and repetitive dialogue feel like remnants of broadcast TV.  I had hoped DAYS would use the move to Peacock to find more creative ways of playing with how to write a soap.

Finally, we got interesting canonical information today.  Brady and Tate are going to a Cubs game.  Does this confirm that Salem is in Illinois, or are they going on a road trip to Wrigley Field from Nowhereland?  I think they referenced Lake Michigan last summer when Rolf left on his submarine.  So, the clues are adding up.

I assume that will be useful when Nicole is gone.

I wonder if you've confused your algorithm with the actual top 10? Because Peacock wouldn't know the most watched shows for Monday until tomorrow, since it is only noon on the West Coast now.  I am also anticipating the return of union writers, but I don't see evidence that the scabs have had a negative effect on the streaming numbers, which based on the graph are on an upward trend.

It was established a few years ago that JJ Deveraux had a friend who lived in Chicago and they said it was only 30 minutes or a half hour away.  Also, a more obvious thing is that there's a map of Illinois on the wall at the Salem PD.

Today was kinda boring. And the time jump that they did with Tripp was weird and clunky.

Johnny did look hot though

I’m intrigued by Kristen suddenly hating on Holly and her animosity towards EJ. I don’t mind it and it’s actually nice to see Kristen finally be a mother to Rachel for once. I hope they end up using that to drive story somehow. The tension between them could be used as the catalyst that leads to the secret about Baby Jude coming out. 

I just wish the scab writers would inject more drama into the show. It’s nice seeing everybody so happy, but after a while, they need some real conflict.

      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.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      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.

      I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.
