Today's episode was incredibly boring. I am not buying the Thomas-Paris thing at all. Once again Bradley is fooling us with cheap telenovela twists. We saw that coming from miles away. You can't surprise us, b-tch. 

And someone needs to tell the editor to stop with these over the top zooming to face shots. It makes the whole vibe infantile. 

P.S I am not loving ANY of the new characters. I'm sorry. None of them work. The actors are not bad, but Bradley is struggling to write for all of them. Poppy makes me so confused. I don't know what the direction of this character is. Or if there is a direction.

I'm still not convinced that Bill is the daddy. I think Li set up that DNA test because she doesn't want the real truth to come out.

I feel like Poppy had potential as a character but the writing is ALL OVER THE PLACE. And, now with the homeless guy making googly eyes at her...sigh.

Also, Luna (I do like the actress), is WAAAAY too perfect. She needs some sort of edge to her. Perfect = boring.

LOL at Paris answering to Douglas' mommy call. So random. First, we haven't seen Paris since when...November. And, now we're supposed to believe that she somehow got engaged to Thomas in the past few months??? What would have been much more interesting would be if Thomas had returned to Paris engaged to Nicole Avant, Zende's ex-wife for which we never got an explanation for on why they divorced. At least that would tie more characters into the story. Paris, due to the writing, has suffered from "Luna-ism"...so perfect she's boring as all hell.

Hope to Thomas (while she shakes uncontrollably with sadness and fear):

"I really thought you returned to restart our lives together, Thomas."

Are you frickin kidding me, Hope? You mean the guy you haven't mentioned in 3 months??? While you've been asking for and getting massages from a married doctor???

The show is a mess. Nothing they are throwing at the audience is sticking.

The Thomas/Paris insta engagement will turn out the same.

Douglas has barely appeared and he's already gotten on my nerves. Bradley sure knows how to ruin even the likeable characters.

Thank you @Jeff!

Hope and Finn looks so awkward next to each-other. They have an actual negative chemistry. They don't look at ALL like a couple or even people who are attracted to each-other. I am also seeing this on screen. Bradley should give it up, before it's too late. Hope and Finn have the same type of negative chemistry that new Ridge and Brooke have. It just feels OFF. I can't describe it. We are human beings and we detect these things as fast as we detect a bad smell. It's in our nature. It's OFF.

And this?  Is this the future? If so, I am... so sad for this show. The ratings will continue to fall. Awkward triangles don't work like they did in 2010, Bradley. Give it up. 

P.S Liam is so badly photoshopped next to Hope in this photo, it's embarrassing.

 

 

 

And sorry, this looks AI generated. And so WRONG. A girl with her boyfriend and rapist. I am gagging. @Soapsuds

Plus... why are they continuing to shoot Brooke with her boring one-beat sisters in bathing suits? Shoot her with Hollis on the beach. Brooke needs to do something NEW.

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      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 (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • 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.
