What a great opening scene

Please register in order to view this content

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?

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).

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

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?

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
