Not a great cliffhanger.  Brady's blowhard attitude toward Holly comes off as less convincing than EJ's suspicions about Tate.  I mean EJ really thought that Tate was a drug dealer, whereas Brady knows that Holly was conflicted about Tate being in a halfway house.  BTW - I thought Tate's costume and posture went a long way to make him look younger.  They made him shorter than Brady and smaller in stature.  If I didn't know anything about the actor, I wouldn't question an age difference between him and Holly. 

Some questions remain:

  1. How does Tate have friends in Salem?  He didn't grow up or go to school there.  He was in town for less than a month before he was hauled off to jail.  So, who is he hanging around with and why do they judge him?
  2. Again, why does Holly suddenly have romantic feelings for Tate?
  3. Is Marlena's penthouse walking distance from the Dimera mansion?  That ai map really doesn't make sense in the context of this episode.

Also, wasn't there a scene in the pub a few months ago where Stefan talked to Chad, and Chad blew up at the mention of Clyde?  Why is he acting as if Stefan's being blackmailed by Clyde is a surprise?

Finally, why does it seem like Sloan is the least likely attorney that Jada would hire after the whole debacle with Talia and Colin?  I know Sloan helped Talia escape prosecution, but it is nuts that everyone in Salem seems to have just forgotten about this event.

I see no similarities between JMM and Leo Howard as Tate. None. I don't think his age is a problem, but I feel like we're watching a different character.

And yeah, it is absurd that we're now told that Holly feels romantic vibes for Tate. It's a 180 degree turn, and it just doesn't work.

I would argue that Tate's characteristics were not set in stone.  We were told he was a wild and crazy guy who got suspended because of stunts at boarding school.  However, all that we've seen so far is a sweet kid who is scared of breaking the rules, easily lead astray, and has a conflicted relationship with his mother.  So, the change in actors has not yet resulted in any personality change for Tate, because he didn't have that much of one to begin with. 

The fact that one was blond and one is brunette seems to be the only difference.

Honestly, I need to give it more than a day with the new Tate.  Nothing immediately turned me off about him, but nothing was spectacular either.  I agree with everyone that Holly's romantic feelings for him came out of nowhere.  I can understand why she would have feelings for her after what he went through to protect her but we skipped from point A to point D in the romance without getting clear views from both Tate and Holly about the progression.

I didn't really think much of Jada using Sloan as a lawyer.  Jada needed a good lawyer quickly and I don't think it's crazy she called Sloan.  Justin may have been a better choice, but Jada doesn't really know Justin so it's not that odd to me.

I'll be honest, Leo doesn't actually bother me in scenes while he's at the Spectator.  He bothers me pretty much in any other scene, but Leo objectively has a job and a purpose at the Spectator so I'd rather he do that than shop and act creepy towards Jude.

I can kind of understand Everett not signing the divorce papers under a different name.  I am sure he has a more ulterior motive, but considering his circumstances I can understand his hesitance, especially since he didn't have his own lawyer.  The whole thing was completely sprung on him.

      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, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      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.

      Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.

      TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
