Paulina had a hole in the seam of the arm in her dress today for the entire show and I couldn't stop staring at it lol.  I know the show has no money but take 5 minutes to fix a seam. 

The rest of the show was kind of nothing.  I don't really get the point of a butler if everyone can just barge into the Dimera house.

I thought aspects of the DiMera lunch from hell worked, especially that establishing shot to end the scene after it all blew up. Dan F is very, very good as EJ. Dare I say, the best male actor on the show ... who gets material at least. On the other side of the coin is Peyton Meyer; I want to like him much more than I do but he seems like he takes a valium right before they say action in every single scene. It's so disappointing.

Tate's threats to never see EJ again are pretty hollow given how infrequently they share scenes together.  For example, does EJ even know that Tate lost his job?  Does Tate know that EJ is sleeping with Belle?  They live in the same house, but they live very separate lives.

And why wasn't Brady a part of this whole scene?  Is Amy the only grandparent who gets to decide what happens to the baby?  Also, what is Amy's social status?  Are they wealthy? And if she knows Nicole, how does she not know that she's divorced from EJ?

I liked the farcical energy today.  Doors slamming, people lying, and enemies trying to hide their distaste for each other.  I don't want it every day.  And I understand that it might not be appropriate given the gravity of the scenario.    But, it doesn't feel out of place on DAYS. Where even in the 1980s, humor was always one of the identifying features which separated it from other soaps.

Todays show was laughable stupid.

You're telling me that Sophia's mom didn't know who EJ Dimera is? She's never heard of the Dimeras?

Did the Scooby gang actually think this would work?

-- I'm perfectly fine with Peyton Meyer's portrayal as Doug 3. I think it's intentional, and that it's working for the character.

-- Gabi's and Jada's scene about Arnold and Rafe had me rolling my eyes and throwing my head back  like Dan F. at a circuit party. Neither of them could tell Arnold was Fake Rafe but they know "in their hearts" that Rafe is still alive? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

-- I love adoptions that have zero involvement with authorities. Regardless, I'll let you know when having a baby helps the Johnny/Chanel pairing in any way.

I am honestly fine with Doug3.  I don't think PM is stellar or anything, but he isn't worse than Carson Boatman or even Leo Howard.  That's probably only faint praise, but I find the new Sophia much more distracting to the Holly/Tate/Doug/Sophia story.  That actress is a miss.

I kind of enjoyed that lunch-gone-wrong, too. This is the right "size" of story for current Days, with its budget limitations, to be telling. It was a little overly silly, and it's crazy that Amy Choi somehow doesn't know who Stefano DiMera was, but the idea of it and the scenes were fun.

      I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.

      Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

      Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
