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.

    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
