While I don't approve of the IRL situation that provoked it, I like the idea of establishing a motivation for why Holly won't have Nicole in her life for major life events.  It becomes a defining feature of her character, like her villain origin story.  So, when she gets married, or goes on trial, it will make sense why Nicole isn't around; unlike Hope or Sami with their kids.

Doesn't everyone bust a move while they're planning their boyfriend's memorial service?

I just learned from watching the Emmys that Kristen Scott Thomas has been on the AppleTV series Slow Horses for four seasons!?! (written by Will Smith, but not that Will Smith). I am endlessly fascinated that Apple has all of these shows that receive zero press attention. 

What leads to the obvious question; do more people know that Serena is on DAYS or Kristen is on AppleTV?

Gotta admit, I didn’t see it at first but Chad and NotAbigail do have chemistry. Their scenes together today were actually really nice. Even though I hate that Clyde is behind all this, I’m interested in seeing this all play out. But I’ll still never understand why nobody is questioning why NotAbigail is fine with living in the Dimera mansion with a bunch of people who are supposed to be strangers to her

And Clyde just needs to die. Hopefully, the new writers make it happen. 

Not really buying this ‘New Alex’ thing though and I still think it’s a mistake to totally remove him from all the Kiriakis storylines. He never seemed like the type of person to just throw up his hands and pass everything over to Xander like it was nothing. Not from the way he was written and not from the way that RSW played him. He should be the villain in Xander’s storyline. 

Speaking of Xander, I thought Paul Telfer did a good job today too. Him absorbing the news about Brady and Fiona really grabbed my attention. But as glad as I am that Fiona didn’t confess the truth right away, I still think the storyline’s moving too fast.

Our prediction came true, next stop lottery tickets!

OK, the writing was on the wall that F-Abby wasn't evil, but Clyde's web of influence has yet to be demonstrated.  I guess there was the evening of three terrors, but how is he still texting threats from solitary.  He's not that cute that he could've seduced another guard.  And given that nobody is watching, what's stopping F-Abby from admitting the truth to Steve?

That being said, most of my issues go out the window when we get a scene like Chad going through his wedding album.  Are all three weddings in the one album?  Or are they a bound set?  And who calls for Sushi delivery, why not use the doordash app?

How can Xander fire Brady, doesn't the Black family own Basic Black, and he and Alex just agreed to a merger?  I think the missed opportunity is having Alex train Xander in what he learned about running the company.  Make them friends/comrades.  And then re-do the Dimeras versus the Kiriakus feud against Stefan and EJ.

I guess because Titan is the parent company, Xander has the authority to fire Brady. 

Alex would actually be the perfect person to run it now that Brady’s out. But unfortunately, we’re stuck with this Body&Soul crap and a forced Alex/Chanel thing.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
