So, Body and Soul was cancelled. Maybe those BTS politics were about  the head writer being checked out

I did have sympathy for Abe though. His reaction did hit a little close to home lol again, I might like this storyline if they weren’t gonna treat like such a big stupid joke. 

The rest of the episode wasn’t really that good though. I’m not really sure why Marlena can’t have actual scenes with Johnny instead of her just talking to him on the phone. And I’m not really sure why Chad needs Paulina’s approval to exhume Abby’s body. 

As for Bobby-Everett, I just hope that his story about solving a murder makes sense.

You know I actually really like the Kate/Abe friendship.  I don't even think a soap within a soap is that bad, but why isn't Johnny involved?  Didn't Abe just get a job with Paulina like last week?  The man is damn near 80 he should be working less and relaxing more lol.  At least it gives Kate more to do than walk around the pub talking to Roman.

As someone who was actually intrigued by the Bobby/Everett story, I am very disappointed how it's turning out.  Even if the story was good, the show drops it for weeks and I entirely forget about it.  The pacing for this story in particular was awful.

Abe is a charm magnet.  Abe & Nicole, Abe & Kate, Abe & John, he's a hit in every pairing, and makes each one more likable (except that nutty nurse from last summer).

Also, my prediction @John

I really like BB and I genuinely don't think it's his fault the story is flopping.  I thought the mystery of Everett/Bobby's identity was interesting at first.  It's clear this whole story was changed and affected by the strike as well as the fact it's been paced horribly.

Unfortunately I don't think Everett/Bobby has much chemistry with Stephanie or Jada.  I am fairly uninterested in either pairing.  

I would wrap this story up and probably let Blake Berris go.  I don't think I would kill him off and I did sort of like him at the newspaper.   I guess it all depends on who Everett is related to because I have a feeling he's going to be suddenly connected to a bunch of things once we get into this murder he's talking about.

I still find his lack of self-awareness in that post absolutely hilarious 

Agreed.

The changes in the storyline have really killed it. Bobby-Everett is practically a nothing character. And the fact that Stephanie is single and nothing’s happening with Jada doesn’t even leave any opportunities open to add another dynamic to it.

When I start to even try to piece together the story it makes less sense than usual Days stories.  Was Everett in a coma?  Did the coma make him forget his DID?  Did he switch back and forth between personas when he was with Jada and Stephanie because he was with both in the same time period?  How did he work as a reporter with two different names/identities?  No one caught on in Seattle?  

Plus, it seems Everett had the Bobby side of him under control and Marlena made it worse lol. 

Then it's the root ability of either pairing.  All the good times between him/Stephanie and him/Jada took place before when ever met Everett.

Today's episode pretty much established that the writers are keeping Stephanie and Everett pairing together unless he is killed off they aren't going to ruin Rafe and Jada as the only adult interracial pairing on the show currently

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.
