JUST SO!!!! The creation of the NuAremid "set" if we're going to call it what it's not would appear to be something clever 4th graders could come up with, with only cardboard & some unmatched bed sheets. THAT'S IT, it's like kids creating a "fort" out of sheets & the dining room table. Are we gonna have s'mores later?

Lord...a waste of a plotpoint...

why is his job as LadyWhistleblower an offense worth breaking up over, while Leo selling Alice's necklace gets a pass

Because Kerry's offense was out of pure spite...trying to get back at Leo.

Leo selling the necklace was to help Doug pay off his debt and not being beaten to death.

What a great opening scene 😍😉😂😂

I had a feeling that Shawn wasn’t going to take advantage of Chanel but I hope whatever’s happening right now continues. It would be good family drama between cousins Shawn and Johnny. But once again, they seem to be rushing it and there’s no need for them to do that. Johnny should have found out in a later episode and the storyline could segue into his jealousy along with Chanel’s anger about Joy.

I like that we were somewhat surprised by all this though. I really thought that something was going to happen between Shawn and Jada in the aftermath of this Fake Rafe crap, so this was unexpected. Tying this all to EJ and Belle and whatever’s going to happen between them would be a great decision as well. 

Speaking of EJ and Belle, I liked Marlena’s reaction to finding out about them, even though it did feel a little out of character for her. It’s good drama. They just need to slow the pace down a lot. There’s no reason for them to rush all of this. Again, if that Lady Whistleblower bullshit could play out for a whole week, storylines and story beats that are actually good could play out for longer than one episode. 

And I enjoyed Kristen’s trip down memory lane with Johnny, mostly because it didn’t come off as obnoxious or played like a big joke. 

And I’m sorry but I still hate Rachel. Just kill the little demon off. Or at least have Brady or somebody tell her what a horrible child she is and that they wish she’d never been born lol I’m tired of her.

I swear I do not think this show has gotten anything right, at all, in a fracking year except for Doug's farewell & Memorial & Julie's grief!

For what? What did Leo do to Kerry? Must be something I have totally forgotten about. Now this sounds like I am taking up for Leo. ARGH. I hate MY show. This is so difficult. Sociologists should write about us, DAYS fans in the 2020s & their cognitive dissonance on a fictional show they've been fans of for over 50 years. There's someone's doctoral dissertation right there.

EVERYONE BE AWARE!  I am going to say something nice about MM's Belle.  I think she and DF are great together.  It irritates me that MM was wasted so long on BB's Shawn when they clearly don't work well together.  

Marlena's reaction was a little OTT considering everything her children have done in the last 40 years.  EJ/Belle seem like pretty silly stakes as they are just two single, consensual adults.  But...I also think Marlena should start kicking her working, wealthy children (and their kids) out of her home.

That storyline is crying out for Sami to return and say, "I should've sold you while I had the chance," lol.

Assuming Shawn still lives at Hope's house, are Alex and Stephanie currently the only adults, with parents living in Salem, who don't live within their parents home?

I think Hope gave Shawn/Belle her house, so I guess it's technically his.  And Xander and Sarah do have an apartment.  But, yeah that's about it.

She has?  Well, good on her, lol!  Lord knows I've never been able to stomach Belle (although, the brief period Charity Rahmer played the role provided some unintended comic relief).

Xander and Sarah live with Maggie.  And even Julie lives in her mother/grandmother's house.

I guess I'm the only one who still ships Shawn and Belle, even though I do like EJ and Belle together 😂😂

It could be really a fun ride for them this year with 

Spoiler

Sami's return, Johnny find out about the rape, and EJ's shooting

And I'm definitely interested in seeing how the new writers are going to handle them, and Shawn.

I can't remember when.  I think actually recently when she found EJ/Belle in bed together lol

I know where Sarah/Xander currently live.  But Xander/Sarah have an apartment with a set.  They moved in to Maggie's "temporarily" because of Sarah's accident.  They didn't move in permanently to my knowledge.  And honestly, technically I believe half the Kirikas mansion is Xander's anyway so they aren't just bunking with Maggie, but rightfully there.

Shawn and Belle just feel tired and forced to me.  The way they explained their current breakup is how I feel about them now.  They just were holding on to something that wasn't there.  I know they are endgame, but it's a bit of a waste when both work better with others.

Wa Wa We Wa - nobody told me that we were getting shirtless Shawn-D today!  That's enough for me to tune in.

Instant blackouts, are so soapy.  When was the last time you knew someone who was able to change for bed, get under the covers, keep their hair nice, but still have no memory of the night before.  Nobody throws up, or has puffy eyes.  They just arise, fresh as a daisy, wondering about the night before.  Yes, they drank a lot of shots, but they were hardly blackout drunk.

Also, why isn't anyone getting ready for the wedding?
