Another lousy Jamey episode. And once again, way too many flashbacks for an only 32 minute episode. 

Ron was fired. Can this even worse, waste of life finally be fired too?

I might care about this cupcake thing if it wasn’t written like such a big, stupid joke, but just like with Biscuit-gate, I don’t. It’s such a waste of everybody’s talent and makes a mockery of the hard work that they put in every single day. 

I don’t really care about the new Lady Whistleblower spoiling Body&Soul either, even though I wouldn’t mind if Leo accusing Javi pushes him into someone else’s (Mark, Kerry, anybody) arms. And I wonder if Ron cared as much as Leo did about his Days work being spoiled.

Javi’s shirt was nice though. And actually, so was Roman’s. Those are things that I would wear. 

And btw, me every time that Javi propped Leo

Kerry is the hunky guy who tried to seduce Leo in a single episode appearance over the summer that got way too much attention.

Biscuit-gate refers to the time that Jada's sister Talia spiked the biscuits at Sweet Bits with a potion that got people all revved up, and resulted in Eric getting Nicole pregnant with Jude.

My objection to the cupcake drama is that it seems to be setting up another silly story to coincide with Doug's passing.  They never seem to get the tone correct.

When you all watch the show can you see the redness on everyone's skin and the orangey make up on Chanel and Jada, or do I just have bad settings on my tv?

Also, with all the slurring of his words that Josh Taylor does, if Roman had a stroke, would we be able to tell the difference?

Three consecutive episodes of Leo

Please register in order to view this content

Does Marlena even get that many consecutive episodes? Honestly, I only see this as more proof that if Ron really wanted something done, he could get it done no matter what and that every excuse we ever got was bullshit.

Today was a bit of an improvement over yesterday and Monday though. The script was clearly in the hands of a real writer. Even the dialogue itself seemed more intelligent and mature. 

I’m still liking Rafe and Jada’s storyline, even though I wish he had stayed on as a detective, at least for a little while. That way this all could be built up for a while and culminate into something explosive. I also wouldn’t mind it if he sued the city either. 

JJ and Gabi’s scenes were really nice too. I like the way that their relationship is being built up. The two of them being the decoys in Chad and Cat’s plan to get Clyde could be really interesting as well. And that could be a good way to bring the two of them back together. Hopefully, they’ll somehow weave EJ back into this as well. Btw, where was Cat going with that Snooki poof?

And, WTG, Javi!! You can do so much better than that selfish, washed up old douche! Contrary to how Javi described Leo today, that’s exactly what he is. It sucks that this is probably only gonna be temporary, but it was great seeing Javi tell Leo off and seeing him walk away like an idiot. Javi/Al Calderon deserves a lot better than a pairing with Days’ worst character.

The only thing I’ll give the Javi/Leo pairing is that it’s not as utterly repulsive as Dimitri/Leo. That was, hands down, one of the worst and grossest pairings I’ve ever seen. 

And yeah, if they’re gonna keep writing Leo as though he’s this young, irresistible twink, they really needed to (sorry, Greg Rikaart) cast someone a lot younger.

Have any of you clocked all of the crossed arms? An Acting 101 no-no. When you're blocking off your solar plexus, your center, by crossing your arms, you're blocking off your gut vulnerability and connection to your scene partners, qualities that make for riveting acting. It's indicative of control, actors who are focused on the lines, acting from the head up, in their brains opposed to in their hearts. My boyfriend thinks the acting and writing on DAYS sucks across the board. All he sees is subpar acting and dialogue, and to me, it boiĺs down to the rush job machine of soaps today. They need more rehearsal.

Today's ep was mostly forgettable.

It is the little things that always annoy me.  Like, why did Jada ask Rafe if he had reconsidered quitting after a good night's sleep, when they share a bed, and she could've asked him at home?

Otherwise, nothing happened, except we learned that Kayla hasn't left the hospital in days

How would anyone even know if Javi/Leo are a good or bad couple?  They've had like 14 scenes total.  We missed any sort of relationship build.  And I think Leo being too old is the least of this story's problems.  It went from flirty point A to full on relationship point D in one episode.

I also think it would be really weird for Jada to hound her personal partner all day and all night about his decision to leave the force.  She gave him space to reconsider like a normal human being in a long term relationship?

There are a lot of signs that suggest it lol 

If everything’s written like a bigger than usual joke, if the episode is short but still feels rushed, if there’s unnecessary fluff and flashbacks, if people are drunk, horny, or acting out of character, if someone’s explanation/justification is weak or stupid, if historical facts are randomly mentioned, if there’s a *wink wink* to a cancelled soap, if Leo’s in drag, if someone gets handcuffed to a bed, if The Real Housewives or Drag Race is mentioned… 

Rushing something always ruins it.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • 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.
