Awww, lol, to my great surprise, I actually felt kinda sorry for Leo. I'm no fan of the character, but I empathized with his heartbreak having witnessed acquaintances go through similar experiences. A straight (or straight passing/presenting/closeted) white man can be the most dangerous person in the room. They wield their currency with colonial abandon and insecure folx like Leo who mask their hurt by being "fabulous" are dazzled and fall prey to any attention, let alone, that of someone like Dimitri.

Today was good… even though Leo being a clown again kinda messed it up a little. I was hoping Eric was gonna hit him, instead of becoming his confidant. Still got no sympathy for him though; we all have pain, we all want to find that special someone, still no excuse to hurt people or toss someone that we love aside like garbage. And considering the way this show gets written sometimes, I’m sure he’ll be perfectly fine by Summertime. 

EJ/DF did good though, you could almost feel his anger lol Sloan/JS still needs some work but I actually think she’s improved a little since she made her debut. And I’m glad that it looks like they’re gonna take the route with this storyline that I hoped they would take.

As for Konstantin, I wanna rip that eyebrow off his face and shove it down his throat

Hopefully, Maggie is smarter than this. And hopefully, John and Marlena are too.

#DAYS Fri., 5-3-24 WOW. Zounds! I cannot believe it! Actually, an excellent day on DAYS! Baby Steal Reveal, come to me, mama! In process, with fine writing & excellent acting & direction & staging! What a fine day to be a fan of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Great work DanF, GregV, GregR!

If you are trying to decide whether to watch today or not, do so! 

I'm trying to think how long it's been since I had an unqualified compliment for a whole episode. It's no use. It's been too long. 

So, am I wrong? Was today as good as I think it just was?

I actually liked drunk Leo today. Sympathy? No, but I think I'm incapable of that. However, I did at least have an appreciation of the drunk remorseful persona that the writing showed. And one thing I can believe is that this has weighed on Leo for some time. 

What route do you mean? Putting Eric & Nicole & baby Jude together as a unit?

I honestly think JS is pretty good considering I think she's basically a model/influencer.   I only know her from America's Next Top Model lol.   I think she grown a lot since she was cast.  I consider AZ, DF, and GV to be very good soap actors and she holds her own with them.  JS isn't entirely there yet, but she's also a decade younger than them and just started doing this.

Ron Carlivati obviously played a part in todays episode, which was so good. The writing was so different than recent scab episodes. This is just a preview of things to come when Ron is credited again. According to the production schedule, this episode was taped well after the writers strike ended. I know scab scripts were written in advance of Ron returning so surely this was a tweaked episode by Ron. Similar to how GH had tweaked episodes before the new headwriters were credited. 
Can’t wait until my Ron Carlivati is credited full time! Fasten your seatbelts!

I was bamboozled. 

Once Eric said he could “kill” Leo, I was certain we were headed into a “who shot Leo?” mystery.  Which would serve as the jumping off point for the baby reveal, and perhaps Nicole's exit.  I did not count on Eric being such a simp.

In my head, I thought Paulina would fire EJ.  Who would then frame Eric for shooting Leo.  Melinda would be re-hired (because there's only four lawyers in Salem), and she would prosecute Eric, covering the fact that she shot Leo to save Sloan.  While Sloan would defend Eric, and grow closer to him after confessing that Leo was blackmailing her over Jude.  But, keeping quiet that Jude was Eric's son.  Leo would recover, free Eric, and Nicole would leave EJ due to his lies, take the baby and head off into the sunset.

I thought I was the only one that noticed.  You can feel Deidre Hall's hate on screen lol.  Suzanne must have really pissed Dee off.   

I was also side eyeing Marlena's scenes with Nicole/Holly.  Not because of hatred, but her advice was to tell Holly to take a deep breath!  And she was asking Nicole, as a Dr., if she was still in love with her own son.  That's just really weird and unprofessional.

I'm glad someone finally brought this up. For years, it was weird that they never shared a scene. Then, Voila! It happened. Now, since then, it happens with a fair regularity. Only thing is Dee's not acting like Marlena, Dee's just being herself, apparently.

I am reminded of THE GOOD WIFE & that iconic scene where two actresses were in the same scene, sitting side by side at a bar when in actuality they were filmed separately & spliced together in Post: Edit. DAYS should be doing that!!!

It has become a real problem. This thing that there is only one shrink in the whole town!

You can tell Ron's back because the writing for Leo is more over-the-top.  LOL   So it looks like the strike-writers waited and didn't conclude the baby-switch and Constantine stories - they let Carlivati do it since they were his stories.  In any case, I'm ready to get exciting again.  Looking forward to next week.

We all know the rumors.  We all know something went down between DH/SR.  I was just shocked you could see Deidre Hall's disdain emanating from the screen.  I figured these two 70 year plus professionals could work it all out.  I felt bad for Drake because the entire filming must have been AWKWARD.

Anyhow, I usually shrug my shoulders at Marlena's shrinking and stuff because she is the only one in town.  But I certainly don't think it was appropriate to ask Nicole if she was still in love with Eric.

    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
    • @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.  
    • I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."
