Before I talk about today, I just gotta say how much I love Colton Little’s smile

As for today, welcome back Sonny, Paul and Andrew! We’ve missed you all a real lot

All three of them had great scenes today with their families. And they all seemed to fit back on to the canvas so effortlessly. Seriously, like a glove. Even Andrew, and he hasn’t even had that many scenes with Theresa, Roman, Stephanie, etc. Days really should do whatever they have to do to keep at least Andrew on full time. 

And as always, Leo was unnecessary. Half of the families couldn’t make the wedding but of course Leo had to be there. And had to have a scene with Sonny Thankfully, it was brief.

Dude seriously is the appendix of Days lol 

The actual ceremonies felt a little rushed, but I didn’t think they were terrible. I especially liked Maggie’s speech at the beginning of Xander and Sarah’s. And now that Alex and Theresa are married, there’s such an opportunity for the effects of this reveal to play out for such a long time and for so many characters. And Days would be pretty stupid if they didn’t run with it. Let this be the catalyst for something huge and amazing. 

The cliffhanger was expected but I thought it was good. It has me really looking forward to next week. 

Btw, Happy 7th anniversary, Uncle Ron! Now, stop with the stupid crap, please

I preferred Sarah's dress to Theresa's, even if the halter-neck felt a bit dated.  Theresa's bows on her shoulders were wild, and the headpiece made no sense with the gown.  But, I guess in a universe where your gown magically appears the day of the wedding, you don't get much choice.

Also, why would Theresa choose to get ready at Sarah's cramped apartment rather than her huge mansion?  And how did Andrew know to find her there?  Finally, Xander is giving Jack his half of the newspaper?  He's not going to sell it?  He's just giving it away, when he has no job, a little baby, and tiny apartment?

Any hoo...  I love a surprise wedding guest who shows up in a fringed dress, so soapy!

I actually liked both Theresa and Sarah's dresses.  

Maggie was the MVP dresser today.  Her dress look great on her. 

I generally don't get the choices Days makes with wedding guests.  You would think Marlena, Kayla, Steve, Kate, John, Chad, etc would get the invite, but I guess Stephanie needed to be there instead?  Lol.

I laughed at the discussion about the RSVP's, because she only sent the invitations last week.  Most guests probably didn't even have a chance to reply yet.  Meanwhile, the out-of-town guests arrived in their formal wear, while Marlena and Kayla were just too busy to make it over to the square.

Lol.  I know...budget, but you are bringing Paul back to have a few scenes with Brady and none with Marlena/John?  Super random*

I know Roman is Theresa's Uncle, but has he ever actually spoken to Theresa? Tate called Roman his grandfather a few months ago, so clearly no one has any idea about how people are related in Salem.

*I love Paul, so any CS appearance is a good appearance.

They really do need to end Shelle if they come back. Too much has happened, water under the bridge for them to realistically ever work again. Plus Shelle hasn't worked since JC/KS were in the roles. OG Shelle is my jam but lighting didn't strike twice or three times with the pairing & once JC left that should have been the end of them. MM has never had any romantic or sexual chemistry with either Shawn. The only man to me she has chemistry with is JKJ Phil they were hot & that's where they should have left the character at. Her version of Belle works best with a flawed messy grey character like JKJ Phil 

They can't continue to try and sell Shelle as true love or soulmates when Belle constantly cheats on him & wants what she can't have. She looks like a flighty fickle slut. Shawn looks like a weak emseculate cock head for constantly putting up with it and forgiving her.

Days needs to decide once and for all what they want MM Belle to be either a disloyal sanctimonious self righteous half assed martyring can't keep it in her pants hoe or a messy bitch with the morals of an ally cat but passed off as some noble righteous good girl

I don't know if this is unpopular here but they really need to recast Shawn. Outside of family scenes, Claire I don't think he works as Shawn & I haven't seen him have chemistry with anyone yet. I just don't believe he ever has captured the essence of Shawn Douglas Brady.

    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • 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.
