I think it's clearly Ozempic for them and for Maura West, too. No shade -- good for them. I do think the skimpy tank top on Maxie was ridiculous for mid-October.

 

This is one of those times when knowing casting news and spoilers really hurts watching the show.

Because we know too much about Sam and Lulu (and the actors), I'm pretty bored with all this build-up to Lulu's operation. It would all be so much better if we knew nothing.

That was just uneven to me. But given the TV spot for this week, I assume that this week will be playing the beats. In those regards, there was some good to see. 

 

For me...

 

LULU'S STORYLINE. So now those stakes are getting higher. The messing with her equipment. ANOTHER complication in the surgery. Lucky weaving Isaiah into the surgery. Sam getting Drew AND Jason to meet her on the Q's grounds...another one of those finality scenes. Laura being Laura and being beside herself. Good to see Kevin there for her. But a lot of beats going on. Also, another case of the filming style working against it. Because...

 

BYE, BYE, VIOLET. ...I felt there were too many cuts to this one. And those scenes DID linger...for all the wrong reasons. Good acting, but like most, I'm just over Violet. Even though she is a nice beat to get Chase/BLQ to their next story beat. And I've VERY HAPPY someone kept their foot on FV's neck to make sure Finn made NO appearance to see her off. 

 

HOLLY VS ROBERT. Pretty good scenes. And a nice flashback. But otherwise I was meh-ing it because it did not have another room to breathe either. 

 

We know how I feel about Dante so I have no complaints there.

Judging by what Bridget Dobson has said about her parents, they probably hated the show from the moment she fully took over in 1973!

I have been playing catch-up and the show is watchable but there is so much going on that it feels like nothing is being given room to have any emotional depth.

I will give the last year/couple of months some credit- NLG, Becky, and Dom should never have been sidelined, and are carrying a lot of weight to make several stories have emotional depth. It is refreshing to see them being used well again. Jane and Genie continue to bring layers to their work that must come from their acting choices, because the writing isn’t featuring either of them like it should.

This turn with Sasha would have interested me more several years ago. Rick Hearst is really making sparks everywhere, still fun to watch as a slimeball. And the question still remains for me- why doesn’t Trina have any kind of story?

It is uncomfortable watching the way they are walking Kelly Monaco out the door. I am not opposed to writing Sam out. But it’s not fun to watch knowing how sidelined she has been and how it has been handled.

    • 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. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
