I'm surprised. Everything surrounding Heather's death appeared to have snatch up momentum because these last few episodes have been watchable. A case of given how Heather has been connected to the current canvas that it truly has a rippling effect over everything and the fact that Y&R keeps their vets and legacy characters around, it simply HITS. 

 

The only flaw that I see in the Sharon/Heather storyine gradually taking the A story lead was that all the drama with Kyle vs Audra has vanished. And also Lily/Victor appeared like it is about to be on hold for a bit.

 

And speaking of them...woooow. Lily and Victor scheming has been great to watch. Even Victor looked amused that Neil's little girl could be so crafty. And his look when Lily told him that Giggly Heffa has Lily's old job was PRICELESS. And like Victor, I am wondering how Lily is going to use Giggly Heffa to get her payback on Billy. 

 

Ironically, MS has been clocked in during the aftermath of Heather's death. I just teared up as she got Billy to come out of his latest A-hole mood to comfort her. I felt that. She's playing a mother's pain and not being able to help her son cope really resonated with me, surprising me. But Phyllis has been great in mom mode, handling Daniel with care, letting Summer know about the death, allowing Chance to be a son-in-law without being one, tearing into Sharon...which was justified for once.

 

Not that she has been alone. MG is doing a masterclass on hearing your lover die. And that scream in the apartment after letting Paul know...WOOOW. The actress playing Lucy got me when she shot off the couch and went into denial mode when Daniel told Lucy about Heather. And SC continued to be bringing her A-game as a woman spiraling even though it appears she has lost a lot of that clam, rational Sharon that came back after SC's anniversary episode. 

 

AT LAST!!!! And by at last I meant...CHANCE BEING BACK WHERE HE SHOULD BE!!! Aka as a cop. And oh look...just in time for a MURDER MYSTERY. Don't tell me I manifested this into the universe? lol. On a typical note, I didn't like the camera angle, but CF looked great in those blue jeans which was not at all sagging.

And just so I know I said it SHUT UP, BILLY!!! He has been so obnoxious this week. I would think punching him in the jaw would have humbled him, but NOPE!! And don't get me started on him trying to destroy Katie and Johnny's feelings for their grandfather...how would he feel if someone came for John Abbott? Exactly!!! And now he's treating workers at Chancellor (and I continue to love how NO ONE is acknowledging the name change. So does Victor hehe) like they are dirt? I was never so happy for Phyllis to get through to him by being a mother on the verge. That snapped him out of it and reminded us that he at least has a heart. Just so over him. 

 

And that Friday cliffhanger/coda of Sharon with the bloody rags. Well I was warned. But...well done.

Not to spoil you on anything yet but this week so far has actually been surprisingly good.

The Sharon insanity aside, we’ve have some great moments of Audra and Diane again this week, plus the latest Newman/Jabot feuding drama actually has depth to it and not just another pointless takeover tale. 

Back to Sharon, Sharon is completely batsh!t bonkers at the moment and not everything is at it seems. Hmm…

WTH was Nikki wearing ? Some sort of sparkly jacket that just looked weird as a daytime outfit.

EB in a chair seeming to read his lines off the table.

Only 5 sets in an hour show. So bored with seeing CL and GCAC. At least the director was smart enough to use tight shots so that the lack of customers at CL was less apparent.

So Nate tells Devon about his meeting with Amy, rather than actually showing it. There is some intrigue there but this is Josh so it will either lead nowhere or be something ridiculous like Amy is Nate's mother.

Sean Dominic and Connor Floyd both eye candy. Bryton not so much.

Who cares about Abby/Devon wedding and the surprise venue?

Nikki MTS has been so poorly styled as of late I expect that to change soon with the latest news.

Re: Amy. Do not give JG any ridiculous implausible notions like that

Abby’s sole purpose these days is simply to remind everyone that she exists.
 

Knowing Abby’s track record she’ll probably forget to show up to her own wedding as she didn’t realize that it was happening that specific time and day.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
