Eric and Nicole are ho-hum at this time to me because

1) We've seen it all before -- too many times and in too short a time span. Make up, break up, rinse and repeat.

2) We know they're leaving -- and there's little reason to get invested in them.

They were supercouple material, and they were ruined.

It just feels different this time for Eric/Nicole, especially now that they have Jude.

And now that they’re older and have been through so many struggles, maybe they finally could have that conversation about why they keep making the same mistakes

And promising that they’ll do better, as part of their reunion. 

Plus, I know it’s not happening, but I would still love for Holly to find out the truth about her father’s death and let that have to be the next obstacle that Ericole has to overcome.

That could also lead to good conflict for Tate/Holly as well. 

Agreed.

I appreciated that we went back to the original dynamic between Tate and Holly.  He's much more cautious about sex than she appears to be.  I like the idea that, like many adolescents, he's much more scared about intimacy and risky behaviors than he's willing to admit.  And at least we know that there won't be another teen pregnancy coming out of this story.

In fact, with Theresa already asking for him to go to the wedding (he only left yesterday), it seems like they've exhausted all the board games in the cabin and will be heading home soon.

Although, in Salem, we never know how much time has passed.  Just yesterday, Sweet Bits was up for lease, and today it is back in business making multiple wedding cakes (that we'll never see, nor will anyone ever eat).   

And what's with Johnny and Holly being so instantly forgiving of EJ?  And wasn't there a scene where Sarah was sending out invitations?  Did she neglect to invite Brady?  I know he wasn't aware that it was a double ceremony, but he seemed clueless about the weddings in general.

I really enjoyed today's episode.

I'm a newer viewer since 2010 but watched on occasion back in the day.

Tate and Holly getaway is stupid. I expected better. They are hiding in the cabin playing board games?

Yes, Johnny was sure angry at Daddy. Carson Boatman can't act!

The Nicole/EJ/Eric scenes were great!

Bring on the threesome!!

Not that threesome!!

As a longtime viewer of Days I enjoyed EJ refusing to sign the divorce papers from Nicole because her and Eric are getting the karma they deserve especially how they have treated others like crap over the years

Did Johnny ever mention to Chanel that they aren't moving out of the mansion?

Between this and the move to California, Johnny makes a lot of decisions without consulting his wife.

I actually wouldn’t mind a storyline like that.

Let their own feelings, worries, fears, etc. be the main things that drive them apart for a little while instead of some sinister outside force like Theresa or Sophia.

Sophia could actually use those problems in order to manipulate the situation.

Today's episode Leo and Bonnie stuff together was not needed and Bonnie thought it was Sarah who threw the invitation in the trash about Xander mom so that should give them a clue it was Theresa 

 

Enjoyed Xarah scenes together alone but that was it for this episode

Team Sophia!

And Team Justin too!

Tate and Holly do kinda deserve it for what they did to her at prom, even though her blackmail scheme is a little stupid. Hopefully, she’s written well and becomes an actual spoiler for Tate/Holly. If she’s gonna be the new Jan, I’d rather she be Teen Mean Girl Jan instead of Psycho Jan. 

As for Justin, I’m so glad that he finally lost his s*it with Alex today and let him know how he was feeling. That part of the storyline really needed to be played more, a lot more than Alex’s thing with Kristen and Theresa should have. We should have seen Justin talking about the way he was feeling about all this a lot more. With Bonnie, or Maggie or Sonny. Anyone. 

I liked the Brady/Theresa scenes too. They almost seemed like closure for the two of them, which also does kinda suck but I thought that they both did a good job. Hopefully, Theresa sticks around once all the secrets come out. There’s still so much that can be done with her.

#TeamSophia  I love her lol.  Holly and Tate are jerks.  Also, do Nicole or Holly understand what it means to be grounded?  

Why was Leo using a licorice as a cigarette today?  Is that a thing?  What a bizarre mannerism.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
