From the first scene, today was an improvement over yesterday. The script was clearly worked on by real writers and not obsessed fans. 

I liked the little family bonding scenes with Xander/Sarah/Maggie/Fiona. I thought the dynamics between them and also Fiona’s alcoholism were built up pretty well. 

Brady and Tate’s drunken phone call was good too, but again, they should have had Tate realize Brady was drunk and be angry and upset about it, which in turn could have caused problems for him and Holly. He was too carefree about it. And about Theresa being sent to prison.

Same could be said for Tate/Holly deciding not to have sex. They should have had Holly be angry at Tate instead of her immediately realizing that she was just caving to pressure by Sophia. Like, why are they afraid to write good, internal conflict for Tate and Holly? Tate did look hot though

I wonder how Jamie Martin Mann would’ve played that scene. 

As for Chad/“Abby”, I didn’t see that much chemistry between them. 

But both cliffhangers were really good. They were definitely a good hook to get people to watch tomorrow.

Tate's probably just happy that he doesn't have to deal with his mom anymore and maybe he's even secretly hoping that he won't have to see her ever again. 

Also, what are they even doing with Holly and Tate? What was the point of that scene if they weren't even going to sleep together? Wow, these two are really boring, aren't they? Sophia is literally the only thing making them interesting right now.

Tate just continues to be the most laid back teenager on the planet.  So many things are going on around him and he's just hanging out with Holly.  JMM played Tate with more feelings?  More high strung?   I also still find Holly pretty unlikeable still.  She's was okay today.  I just find her very selfish.

I surprisingly find Fiona very interesting.  She's (so far) a character I actually want to know more about.  Although I can't believe sober Maggie didn't smell the champagne in Fiona's glass when Fiona actually handed it to her to hold.  My mother doesn't drink and I swear she can smell alcohol on anyone from 100 yards away lol.

I am not sure how I feel about Nu"Abby".  I thought it was incredibly pushy the way Chad took her to the mansion and tried to force her to remember.  Just buy the girl a hamburger at the Pub and let her breathe for a few minutes!

It is confusing where the roads are in Salem because everyone seems within walking distance of the square.  Do they drive onto the ferry, or is the island just for walking?  I mean, it seems like the only time we ever see anyone driving, we know that there will be an accident.

Same here -- I'm on the Diamond tier. I filed the email price increase when I got it. Hopefully, it won't show up on my bill and I won't have to spend 2 hours calling them.

The upper tier is called the Diamond tier. It includes over 150 channels, most of which I never watch.

I checked out moving to a lower tier, but that would have kicked in a charge for Peacock and a very low storage capacity for my DVR -- for a "savings" that made none of it make sense.

    • 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.
