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 thought it was odd that the News of Rafe's coma isn't out yet in Salem

Nobody cares about Rafe that much.

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.

[j swift]

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.

I am beyond impressed that Suzanne Rogers still wears heels like that at 81 years of age. 

[carolineg]

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.  

[TEdgeofNight]

Oh good lord. Jay Leno chin Andrew is back? He’s boring. Zack Tinker will take ANY job that he is offered. lol

Was Chandler Massey not available?

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.

I really enjoyed Friday's show with Sonny, Paul and Andrew back.

@AbcNbc247  You're getting your wish. Sonny and Paul will be having scenes together next week.
