Yeah, Gio definitely got lost in the shuffle this year.

The actor really should have been a recast Cam because he is good, it would’ve kept him more grounded, and it would’ve given him an actual purpose, rather than just popping in from episode to episode.

That's sounds like a beautiful dream I would have lol.  Except the Gio part.  She doesn't need more rando kids.  But you could also work in the Bensonhurst connection with Brenda confiding in Lois she was pregnant but in danger because when is Brenda not?  Lois found "parents" to take baby Gio in and the Cerullos considered him like family all to protect the child's identity.

Anyhow, I wouldn't mind seeing ELR and VM go up against one another......even if it's over Sonny.

VM would hate that unless Gio is somehow Sonny's I think.  But GM looks nothing like either of those two.  You could probably make a decent story out of Brenda giving her Sonny kid away to protect him and having Lois mostly watching over him, but Sonny has way too many useless kids as is.

Perhaps it was to the strength of Maury West as an actress that I bought all of that, but I liked that Ava was in an interesting position, and it was just luck that she winded up at Sonny as they were slowly tying her into the Sonny's Meds storyline. With Sonny isolating himself due to his paranoia and Ava having no one, I could believe that those two would be closer. And the story looked like it was getting a part duex until Natalia showed up...which in hindsight looks like a pushed agenda. That said...Ava getting jealous over it only to find out about the pills was highly believable to me.

 

But I believed in the theory that Ava would have had a fall because so many people were gunning for her, but it was in the terms of the old school villain tale of a villain being caught, made to pay, and then having some redemption...but still allowed to have an edge. And I know the idea was mentioned by someone else that Ava knowing about the meds might have been her 'get out of jail free card' toward the aforementioned start to her redemption. 

 

But...woulda, shoulda, coulda. 

Completely lost.

I mean, it's very clear Ava was poised to be written off, based on how they were writing her. Either that, or a major dark return to the Jerome crime family world. And I think after being involved with the Kristina-baby drama, it would have made a major "Whodunnit" storyline for the murder of Ava Jerome. And, with Mulcahey out and Van Etten in, I feel like it was swapped to Cates and we got what we got: a shitshow.

Don't you meant a vanishing act, not a sh*tshow.

The writing change definitely harmed that. Cuz as soon as CVE came back, Ava stopped being cunning and crafty. A shame because I was liking her with Wagger and how she had him wrapped around her little finger. They could have even had a flawed good guy/bad girl pairing there.

    • 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.
