That was the threesome music, so you’re not that far off

Happy Birthday Johnny! Too bad you had to endure a Jamey episode today. And had to spend so much time with Leo.

Johnny does have good taste in cakes though

Today was a perfect example of what I mean when I mentioned how lousy Jamey episodes are. Do they really expect fans to believe that even Seth Burns didn’t see that Alex was screwing a white girl? Or that he doesn’t know who’s playing Faith?

That’s just bad, lazy writing. 

And, since when does the hospital have a PA system? 

The fact that we don’t know if Johnny and Joy slept together is kind of interesting though. I do like the mystery of it. And today’s ending wasn’t bad either. But damn, the buildup these last few weeks was horrendous.

Today's episode was okay.  I really just don't understand the whole Chanel/Johnny thing.  It's something that can so easily be explained and it went from 0 to 100 in one scene.  Stupid.  I think Johnny did sleep with Joy.  That's the only way any drama is pulled from this.  The actress that plays Joy reminds me a bit of Amber Tamblyn.  She looks like her.

I am also not gonna lie.  Seth Burns is my new favorite character.  He cracks me up.  So dumb, but so stoic and deadpan in his delivery.  

Weird Marlena was called away before Johnny's birthday celebration.  Did Deidre have something else to do that day lol?

Hmmm… two different location shots of the hospital now?

The hospital scenes were good. I liked the confrontation between Johnny and Chanel. How this all came together was the biggest mistake in this storyline.

But once again, Leo was unnecessary. I miss the days when characters with no purpose got cut.

The character of Joy seems to be ok so far. She doesn’t seem to be playing this all like a big joke and I appreciate that. But yeah, the writing for Nancy is making me cringe a little. Unfortunately, I expected that. Too bad Chloe’s not in Salem anymore. Her part in Joy’s storyline could add another dynamic to it. 

As for Abe/JR, I almost want to apologize to him myself.

There's something ironic about the fact that DAYS could've produced six months worth of episodes in the time that it has taken Body & Soul to film their premiere.

Interesting episode.  Some scenes were quite good like Joy/Nancy and Chanel/Johnny, but there was not a single reason to have Leo on the show today.  Bonnie/Leo spent, what, 3 scenes talking about how good Chanel's cake was?  Ugh.

I've liked what I have seen from the actress that plays Joy.  We will see where this story goes.

Since Seth Burns is my new MVP I had to laugh when Stephanie said they had met before in a one on one PR zoom meeting about the show and he said he still thought she was an actress anyway lol.  What?

Question: Why does the Dimera Board Meeting occur in Chicago and not at their corporate offices in Salem?

The best part of the last three episodes has been the return of JJ. 

Carson Boatman sucks. He desperately needs acting lessons(coach).

Looks like Casey is on contract. He's excited about his new storyline with the new writers.

I just hope JJ doesn't become a cop again.

Much like the earlier iteration of Holly, I'd like him to go back to being messy and a bit of a "F"-up.

I've been bored by reformed Tate, Johnny, Xander, and Tripp.  We need an anti-hero who isn't evil, but is a little duplicitous.  Sort of like a younger version of Jack.  I also think that after seeing the actor in interviews, JJ could be funnier and more charming as a not-so-serious dude.  And I think that the portmanteaus for JJ and Joy could be fun.

We've been eager for Johnny to find a friend, and JJ could be a good ally.

This is good news. I’ve always enjoyed Casey Moss and JJ. I thought Johnny would be a little messier like early JJ but he’s so blah. It’s actually amazing with who Johnny’s parents and grandparents are, that he’s so Blah. But I think it might be Carson as well.

[AbcNbc247]

The one thing l’ll give this Body&Soul mess is that, as awful as it is, it’s not gross and cruel like the Craig/Nancy storyline or the Dimitri storyline. 

It just needed to be written a lot better. 

That would be nice lol if he had a friend, maybe he wouldn’t have to jumped the wrong conclusions about Chanel so quickly.

But a JJ/Joy/Johnny/Chanel/Alex/Stephanie mess could be nice as well. 

[carolineg]

This is not absolving Ron and the horrible writing he gave Nancy, but I always thought the writing for Nancy in general throughout the years has been erratic at best.   It seems like every writer has a different take on her.  She teeters the line of villain and heroine and it definitely changes every time she reappears.  Ron made her look dumb in the Craig/Nancy/Leo story and that was horrible.  I just still don't have a clear take on who Nancy is at her core to this day.

[Soapsuds]

Btw the Not Abigail reveal was a dull mess. 

Billy Flynn totally tanked his scenes. 

Annalynne tried her hardest but the story stunk. She couldn't save it either.

Other than plotline, what is stopping Xander from contacting Rolf directly about the cure for Sarah?

I know this a device to force the merger of Dimera and Titan, but Xander has the money to buy out Rolf.

You would think Xander would actually try to get Brady on his side to convince Kristen.
