Javi/Leo… Skip 

I was actually more interested in where they were sitting. Is that supposed to be a new set and restaurant? Or was the Small Bar redesigned? 

And, all this stuff with Aremid and the Blakes needed to be established a lot better. Btw, Aremid is now only a few miles outside of Salem.

Holly/Doug III was the best part of today, even though their scenes were ruined by Leo. They’re actually really sweet together and I’m still enjoying them. The only thing they need to do in this storyline is to have Doug III be in more scenes with Tate, and really build up the rivalry between them. The way Doug III spoke about him today, you would think that they’ve known each other for years. They really need to push it because at this moment, this is one of the best storylines on the show right now. Doug III was looking good today too. 

And yeah, Doug III working for Leo…

The last thing we need is another character to be swallowed up by this Body&Soul nonsense.

And I still can’t help but think that there was some interference in their storyline, mostly because of the way Leo acts around him. In the old days, Leo would’ve been harassing and blackmailing him, even if Javi was in the picture. And, once he heard that Doug III needed a job, would’ve hired him as the stripper at Jada’s bachelorette party. Maybe they want to write Leo as a better person or something but they also tried that in 2022 and in 2023 and look what happened.

And once again, Sophia had bigger balls than Tate and also had a much better idea for the baby than he did, so I was a little surprised to see her get on board with his idea so quickly. I do like that Tate still seems more concerned about Holly though. That’s a good, messy beat that could explode at some point. 

He looks great!

Now that I'm caught up, yeah, from the moment Rachel/Woman In White said Ava was the problem and lil Rachel had to get rid of her, the whole thing rang false. Rachel of 1996 would have said the exact opposite. 

I'm loving the nods to the past (kudos to Stacy Haiduk for lighting up when she mentioned The Parrot Man; you'd almost believe she had played the role back then instead of Eileen) and I love the fact that we're revisiting Aremid after nearly 30 years, but they've already gotten the Lady in White's motives all mucked up. 

And of course, we have a sad 2025 version of the once-large and beautiful Blake family home (and it was their actual home, not their "summer home" as Kristen said on Friday's show).

I've got it!!!

Maybe RonC resigned, because there was nothing left of DAYS history to mine for new stories (the possession, Aremid, Renee, masks, etc...)?

Same here. I would happily write that Judith Chapman's character stole Diana's identity for the Colville fortune and she admits this to Leo when she learns she's dying. This has Leo leave Salem in search of Diana, who may or may not still be alive. Him leaving mysteriously just like she did in decades past.

On Friday, I thought for sure that the Woman in White was a ghost/apparition/hallucination.  She needed Rachel to dial the phone, and help hold the candlestick.  So, it made sense that she was not a corporeal being. 

But, today, I'm not as sure, because she seemed to be able to move Ava in the chair (at least they got a new wheelchair from the one used by Sarah). 

Also, given her past, I'm not sure why Ava continues to investigate things on her own.  Just a few months ago, her friend Melinda was being held hostage.  Before that, she was assaulted in her apartment, rather than waiting for Stefan.  And she almost got shot looking for Clyde. Girl, get some backup!  (and remember that Stefan owns the Bistro).

Small Bar got bigger, which is ironic.  But, that means it is time for my favorite game: What time is it in Salem?  It is the same day that Rachel ran away.  But, Holly, Tate, and Sophia are out of school.  Yet, Leo and Javi are having drinks.  Is it cocktail time?  Is it later?  Is this still the same day that Bonnie fell down the elevator shaft?  Who knows?

Yeah… today had to be the Jamey episode.

Everything felt like a big joke, there was a random time jump, and a lot of cliches, pointless filler and out of character crap. And just general overall stupidity. Fake Rafe has been pretending for like over a month now and he hasn’t realized yet that Javi’s gay? I mean, come on.

And was Chanel shouting, “Dang, Mama” to Paulina supposed to be a little *wink wink* to The Parkers?

But I also have to admit that it wasn’t as bad as other Jamey episodes. And I’m still surprised that on a Ron-written show, there was a female stripper but not a male stripper

 Is this the first time that ever happened?

Shawn going to find Chanel was random too but I don’t completely hate the idea of something happening between them. And I was really looking forward to EJelle 2.0. They didn’t get a shot last time and I hope that Days runs with it now… until Belle ultimately goes back to Shawn lol

Apparently, Ron was intent on bringing back all the old favorites on his way out the door.  (Get ready, folks, because next month?  The Cruise of Deception sets sail once more!)

To be fair, that would require building a whole new set, and so far "Aremid" is just a bunch of muslin curtains that were probably repurposed dust covers.

      Where do you discover this crazy rumor??

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.

      It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
