Their relationship is what truly makes Chad feel like he’s part of the Horton clan now. Billy and SSH just have amazing familial chemistry together. It’s one of my favorite relationships on the show. And Susan showed she doesn’t always do camp. The grief was right there all over her. Maybe even moreso than the death episodes.

This was her best work, I think. It was raw, real, and genuine. I'm on record as not liking her performance in the death episodes, having found her mannered. I saw the acting. To me, this stuff with Billy is the Emmy material.

I was 2 days behind & I probably made an error in reading everyone's comments before catching up. I suspect I had a bad case of elevated expectations. Knowing DAYS as we do, can you imagine a less promising perspective to have! Yes, I found Friday underwhelming. Oh, blast. So, anyway, not even in my top 25 Julie current moments. 

But, I did love one thing & that is Cat Green seeking out Marlena, although she said she was trying to get in touch with John. But, I love the tale she told, that it makes John a hero, that any even hint of villainy was erased. It was well grounded that she didn't know this family history before & just found it out from her mother, in Vancouver in the visit she just returned from. Perfect storytelling! Why can't they do this with every story?

I hate Sophia's complacency in accepting her mother micro-managing her life & it's not even that her mother has her interests always at the forefront, no, it's ideological.

Tate is goofy saying not to thank him for things. It's manners, it's habit, don't jump on her for saying it, dude! 

Why would Holly keep Doug3's secret? 

Why does Philip think there's any chance Stephanie will keep his secret? And, wasn't it too fast for the forgery to get found out?

I forgot to say how good I think it is that Corday brought Drake up to speed on their plans for John Black & had him sign off on it. Such respect for the actor & any feelings he might have about the final story they give him! I saw Steve Nichols in an interview say that at first he bristled at the idea that they were going forward with whatever it is they're doing but then he found out Drake had given it his blessing, so he's good with anything that Drake is good with!  Absolutely! I read we'd be seeing this

All this talk of John is not gonna get any easier, isn’t it?

The Marlena/Steve scenes were good, despite everything. I liked the way Steve used his own past with Kayla as a way of comforting Marlena. And I wonder if Steve calling Shane at the end is going to play into something in the future. 

But I gotta say that Kate/Lauren Koslow was the MVP today. Kate finally seemed to have some of her spark back. She’s another one that’s been ruined by this Body&Soul nonsense and seeing her go head to head with Sarah really put her back in her element and that was really refreshing. 

Speaking of Sarah, I have no problem with her keeping the secret from Xander, even though that Jamey crap from when she was paralyzed sort of messes this up. I like the conflict for them as a couple, and for all the other characters involved in this storyline. This is how umbrella storylines should be and I hope more characters get weaved into it somehow. 

Xander and Maggie were good too.

I enjoy their relationship almost as much as Chad and Julie’s, even though Xander was a bit of a dick today. I’m glad that she’s such a big part of this storyline and I hope she continues to do so.

Btw, according to Wikipedia, Suzanne Rogers has officially surpassed Helen Wagner as the longest running actor on an American soap.

This John story is difficult to get through even as a huge John fan.  I know it's inevitable with the taping schedule, but I just want it to end.  I want a great celebration of John's life as soon as possible-not months of Marlena/Steve/everyone wondering where he is.  I understand the show was in a hard place with the entire situation, but, man it's depressing watching knowing how it ends.

I know hindsight is 20/20, but I wish they'd just had John be away on a mission, and Marlena's in Salem but occasionally offscreen visiting him. Later on, we can find out he died during the mission or suffered a stroke or whatever they land on, but months of this when they knew the actor was terminally ill feels like very poor planning.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.
