I finally saw those episodes of Everett’s death last week. I couldn’t believe Jaida and Stephanie sat there being hysterical for an hour instead of ya know trying to save his life.

It was so strange.  Like if the ambulance is taking too long try to move him yourself?  Try to get him to throw up or in a cold shower? Call the hotel front desk and have them help you get him to the hospital?  Not read his "suicide" note and collect evidence lol.  I have obviously never been in a situation like that but I feel like I would have more of a sense of urgency and try to find anyone to help.

BTW, not just "read" the note, but discuss it, analyze it, and re-read it while he is dying on the bed six inches away 🙄

And Jada's a cop, but didn't even put on gloves when touching evidence at a crime scene.

I'm only surprised that another character hasn't moved into that room already.

I guess the show faked me out because I assumed he was going to live. Those two were just yammering about all the inconsistencies while Bobby was dying.  So I didn't think it was that dire?  Lol.  Next thing I know they are rolling him out in a body bag.  Poor Blake Berris.  The show clearly just has no idea how to use him no matter who is running the show.

I genuinely was excited when they brought him on for a role without the Nick Fallon baggage. That lasted for about 5 minutes.

I am not sad Bobby/Everett are gone, nor do I really care about the ending.  During the entire episode Jada/Stephanie were watching him die the show could have just wrapped it up.  Just finish the story.  It's so lazy to just kill him off without any conclusion.  That's more annoying to me than not knowing.

I really don't mind the premise.  Like you said, it's much easier to understand than what Dimera Enterprises does.  

I don't even mind a few jokes.  It's the entire story that feels like a mockery of the soap industry and the fans.  It's so strange Ron would even want to go there.  Does he hate his job?  Did he want to get fired?

BTW do we know that he in fact WAS fired?!

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be back next year as a brand new character or one of Sonny/Alex's brothers from Arizona or something. Give 'em time 😆

And then they’ll find a way to kill him off again 😂

I have to object to the pacing once again.

Monday's episode was written with so much immediate jeopardy on the line between Melinda and Ava, and yet today they are nowhere to be seen, and time has moved forward.  It feels like the momentum gets lost.

Yes, it's ridiculous that half the town is going to be acting in this, but it really does bring characters together that don't usually interact at all.

That was something I thought of and appreciated about today's episode. I'm intrigued by the possibility of Chanel and Alex playing lovers on the soap (no spoilers, I'm just assuming that will happen) and being tempted by each other. I like seeing Johnny and Bonnie have a purpose. But treating almost everything as a joke -- and mocking the audience in the process -- supersedes any potential good stuff.

Seems like this episode should be skipped/avoided.

Jamey shouldn't be in any writing team.

It is ridiculous if he gets hired for the new soap. His track record sucks!!

Ron deserved firing just for him alone.

And I would not be surprised if this Body and Soul bullshit was one of his pitches.

I actually do like the idea of a lot of people in town working on the soap.  It can make for drama and connects people that aren't usually connected. 

Same here.

I probably wouldn’t mind it either if it wasn’t being written like such a big stupid joke

The joke writing was what messed up the Alex/Chanel scene today. Any kind of “tension” was ruined because of how stupid it was written. It was like they both suddenly immature children.

Maybe RC will get a gig as a comedy writer after Days, since he’s practically incapable of not undercutting seriousness without reminding us Days is just a stupid soap opera.

Or maybe he’ll be inspired by Michele Val Jean and pitch his own soap: a cringey campy shitfest 😂
