The best part of today's episode was seeing Al Calderon's hot chest.

Yes...and not that I was looking, but wasn't he a bit hairy on his arms too? He must have gone through a few razor blades 😉

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

What is biscuit-gate? Who is Kerry?

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?

Kerry, Javi, Dimitri, Craig, maybe Mark, almost Sonny.

Who knew that Leo was the most desirable man in Salem? 😂😂

I’ll have to pay closer attention now 😂

Have you guys not seen what Grindr look like when you open it in Salem?

Three consecutive episodes of Leo 🤮🤮🤮

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.

How do you know which episodes Jamey writes?

I LOVE Leo & Javi!!! Newest best couple. Greg and Al have IT! Chemistry. Hot stuff.

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.
