It’s also been established that she doesn’t cook!

Historically, I mean serious canon, has it that Marlena cannot cook. If they changed that, it would be enormous.

I don't think that's changed.  John or Brady joked about it fairly recently (as in this year).  I think Kristen even told Rachel not to eat anything Marlena made not that long ago lol. So either it was a script error or Marlena is just making herself bad food.   

Who knows though?  With the horde of people living in Marlena's house perhaps she learned how to cook to save money or something?

If not, I am relieved. If so, I don't know what to think!!! I guess we'll see.

“Or Marlena is just making herself bad food,” is fuc.king hysterical.

That's true, why is she cooking for one?  Don't Tate and Brady need to eat?

BTW, I'm too much of a gentleman to quote adages about old dogs and new tricks. 😉

Listen, I can sort of cook, but sometimes I make food I think is delicious, but the palates of the world might not be ready for.  😂  Marlena might just be cooking up some grilled cheese.

They get free rent.  They can find their own food especially now that Marlena has another mouth to potentially feed with Sophia's spawn.

What a great opening scene 😉😂😂

Too bad the rest of the episode wasn’t good. And what was with the stupid joke music throughout the entire episode? This was probably the Jamey episode. It always the Jamey episode when it’s this lousy, and when a lot of people come off like out of character pieces of 💩

Btw, wtf was Paulina wearing around her neck? 😂😂

My hatred for Leo aside, Javi and Kerry were actually really sweet today. So, what’s probably going to happen to them really, really sucks. And I did see some chemistry between them. But Kerry definitely spoke for all of us when he and Javi were discussing Body&Soul, even though we were clearly not supposed to be on his side. Btw, if that scene was just another chance for Ron to air his grievances or for Jamey to defend his Lord and Savior, all I have to say is 

🖕🖕🖕🖕

And yes Kerry, none of us see the appeal of Leo Stark either 😂😂

This is going to be a tough week.

As for Fake Rafe, this still seems like a rewrite to me. Or there was some interference. Why would they bring him back just to have him not totally take over Rafe’s life from the very beginning? I don’t get it. And it’s a little sad to see EJ, the Dimera, so beholden to him.

Shawn and JJ as partners could be interesting though. I’d like to see where they and their storylines go from here. And they looked good in their matching jackets 😂😂

This has nothing to do with today's episode, but Cat mentioned Aaron is staying with their mother because he's so far ahead in school (even though he needed Holly/Tate's help to not fail a few weeks ago).  Dr. Mark is in jail, right?  So are both of those actors off the show now?

This feels like a rewrite too.  Why would you introduce a whole new family only to dump most of them when they can actually be together?

Because, someone is bored and cannot be consistent to save their lives.

Apparently.  I don't really know where you take Mark from here, but he didn't really get to do much.  I am sure you could rehabilitate his character like they are trying to do with Cat.  

Aaron would be useful in the Tate/Holly story so it's weird he just vanished.  Perhaps they are recasting?  The actor that played Aaron wasn't great, but I thought he was kind of goofy and charming.

I don't think they are...

Spoiler

In one of his latest IG stories, he was photographed on-set of DAYS, so he's still taping.

Oh, okay.  I guess it's fair to assume they might be re-assessing the story with the backstage changes.

That would be my assumption, as well. Three-more months we have of waiting. WHEW

I heard a rumor about why Aaron’s being kept in Canada but nothing definite yet. 

As for the Greenes, it does seem like someone lost interest in them and there could be a lot of reasons why.

The whole Abigail thing, Aaron being introduced during the strike, whatever may or may not was supposed to have happened between Mark and Leo, etc.
