Not much happened today, but welcome back Judi Evans!

Bonnie and Justin should be a bigger part of Alex’s storyline. Idk why they dropped Alex suddenly having animosity towards Justin but it was a good idea and I wish that they had run with it. 

I still like the way Alex’s storyline and his tension with Maggie is being built up. It’ll only make his fall so much sweeter. And I’m also very glad that no one is being sacrificed for his character. 

There was a little too much Rafe today though lol I guess he needed to be a part of it today, but I think it would have been better if they kept the focus solely on Eric/Nicole/EJ.

Btw, I did feel really bad for Eric in that final scene at the apartment.

This might be something that only bothered me, but I thought the Eric/Nicole/EJ scenes lacked some impact because most of it was done in a small doorway.  The emotions almost felt like they had to be subdued because the actors were all packed into such a small space.  No one could move really lol.

I think Sloan also should have been a part of it and it should have been more public.

To me, the thing that is missing is that EJ's motivation is based on his devotion to Nicole.  Which may explain why his lack of anger was not surprising to me.  Their past relationship is completely messed up.  She is not the love of his life.  There is actually no reason for him not to divorce her once he found out that the baby was not his and that she preferred Eric. 

EJ's not a symp and he's not desperate for female companionship.  I could understand if he thought Jude was his baby.  But, given that he knows that he is not the daddy. I don't feel like the show has established a reason why he would be so desperate to hang on to Nicole, and it is not as if that is an established motive of the character.

For example, Sami just wants to win, so she'll do whatever is necessary to best Nicole, Carrie, or anyone in her way (a bit of an oversimplification for summary purposes, but you know what I mean).  And Eric is drawn to women who he needs to save, so he'll do dumb stuff whenever a lady is in trouble.  But, it has never been mentioned that EJ suffers from either of these types of pathology in a relationship.  And if the CEO story has taught of anything, it is that he won't settle for being anyone's second choice.

The episode wasn't bad.

EJ hasn't had any real emotions about the return of his son. No one doesn't notice it? That's not the EJ everyone knows.

Melinda reaction to learning of Sloan leaving and knowing about the baby switch was

Marlena was stretched a little thin today lol

Her scenes were good but they should have had her spend the entire episode dealing with Eric and his problems, instead of changing over to Everett half way through. I did like the angsty situation that Eric is putting himself in now regarding Jude. I wish those scenes had gone on longer. And I also liked how John used his own past in order to comfort Eric over giving up Jude.

And I don’t know why but I’m kinda liking this Montana adventure with Harris, Ava and Lucas. It’s good seeing Lucas be used more effectively. 

The ending was a little weak though. There wasn’t much of a hook to get people to tune in tomorrow.

I like Harris so much more than Jason.  And I do like the Ava/Lucas/Harris adventure.

Greg Vaughn looks so red in all his scenes.  What is up with Days lighting?

Does SN not like lettuce?  He took the lettuce off of his burger today lol.   I don't know why I noticed that, but I did.

I enjoyed the show today. That makes 4 days running. That could be a personal record for DAYS

@AbcNbc247 I certainly see what you mean but it didn't bother me for Marlena to do half Eric & half Everett. Two E's today! I admit I was startled that she wants to stage an Intervention. They hardly have enough people to do so. Apparently there's not going to an effort on Steph's part to try to get him back into therapy. Also it is odd to me that he is not showing concern over what he is calling blacking out. He is losing time & he should be pretty concerned about that. 

@carolineg What I noticed when Jada put her burger up to her mouth was how huge & homemade-style & great that burger looked!!! Funny that Steve noticed a difference in their buns. I'm not aware of gluten-free things looking different. But, it was necessary to bring out the fact that Goldman has Celiac's Disease and MUST eat gluten-free. Plot point! Check. 

I liked the use of history today. John, having to give up Carrie, Eric & Sami related to Eric having to give up Jude. Chad, having gone through it with Abby & her alters Debbie & Dr. Laura, related to Steph now facing the fact that Everett has DID. Good uses of history. 

I am very very concerned about Eric. Greg Vaughn is doing a fabulous job. His intention & his desperation over his thought that he MUST stay away from Jude is heart-rending. No, I did not cry today. 

Those onesies that J&M had bought. Makes me sad. They, too, have lost. They had a new grandchild, now they do not. Although we know that is not so. But, in the story it is so for now.

One of my sister's has Celiac's Disease and gluten free bread is awful IMO.  I don't know how people do it.  Anyhow, the bun probably looked different than Steve's, but you would think he would have heard Jada order a gluten-free bun instead of asking about it later lol.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
