Today was mostly a Body&Soul day, but surprisingly, it wasn’t bad. I’m guessing it wasn’t a Jamey episode

Welcome back, Nancy! 

Not exactly sure how they got Patrika Darbo back after that gross ass Craig storyline. I understand that a paycheck is a paycheck but… goddamn. But it’s still nice to see her. But I’m also not really sure about her trying to get Joy on Body&Soul.

And nice to see you again, Joy! It’s been a long time lol too soon to judge about her acting.

I don’t really mind Johnny or Chanel cheating but this was all so forced and contrived and poorly written and it didn’t need to be. This all could have happened much more organically and for a much better reason than Johnny suddenly being dumb and jealous. Chanel miscarrying their baby, perhaps? 

The Justin/Alex was kinda random but it was nice to see them bonding as father and son. Sonny is still Justin’s No. 1 son though

Johnny seems to be experiencing stress-induced paranoid hallucinations, and nobody (including his psychiatrist grandmother with a crazy twin sister) seems to notice.

I guess we're not supposed to think that Johnny is mentally ill, but it would seem to be the only explanation for his visions and his illogical suspicions. 

I mean, the signs are all there.  His hair is unkempt.  He has begun drinking in excess.  He is isolating from his wife.  A more talented writer might have used those symptoms as clues to a larger story.  But, I think this is just an ordinary love triangle.

I'm not suggesting that they are actually writing him as mentally ill.  I just mean that given his most recent symptoms after suppressing the trauma of his wife's miscarriage, one might question his sanity.

And rather than going the predicable triangle route, it might have been a bit more interesting, given his family history of mental illness. (his maternal Great-Aunt Samantha, his paternal half-aunt Kristen, etc…)

BTW - you can tell that I'm bored with an episode when I overthink it, looking for more intriguing angles.

My StackTV 3 month discount has expired. Looking for an "alternative" way to watch DAYS until they offer another discount.  Please PM me if you have any suggestions.

    • 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.
