And agreed about the Theresa/Tate scene. Despite the writers mucking it up last summer, there’s still so much to be explored between the two of them, and their relationship as mother and son

You both mentioned Ava fighting back with Rachel.  However, I think the question is even more basic, why doesn't she lock her door?  It's all well and good to be the daughter of a mafia boss, although that line has failed her multiple times recently.  But if she's going to let people hide behind her door, then she almost deserves what she got.

Also:

1. Did she move out of the Brady Pub (remember, when she was going to cook there for a minute?)
2. Or, did Rachel sneak in through the pub unnoticed?

-- The Rachel and Ava "fight" ruined the episode for me. Maybe they should have cut that out of the episode, too, because it was ridiculous. I'm done with that old lady Rachel character.

-- Someone should tell Melinda how absurd she looks walking around town with that necklace on in the middle of the day.

The fact that the shirt was overpriced is not an excuse for why EJ was wearing this knit short-sleeved top the day after it snowed in Salem.

Seeing the word "dickmatized" brought this song to mind:

You cannot be serious? Ron’s material is written long before it’s recorded and they’d have to pay Ron and Paula and Jeanne if they edited stuff. Didn’t happen. This is Ron’s material. 

No, it doesn’t. 

[Toups]

Are you trying to say that the show has to pay Ron, long after he's gone, if they edit his material?  If so, I don't think that's accurate.  Once Ron's cycle over and his contract is done, they don't have to pay him anymore, and it doesn't matter if his material is edited or not. 

Also, I don't think the scripts are so far in advance of the taping - I think it could be a month.  Maybe @JAS0N47 knows this info?

That's a very expensive bowling shirt.

And an ugly one at that.

"UNCLE ANDREW"

 

Bring back Andrew and make Dimitri become obsessed with him. 

I love how Doug III basically delivers all his lines flat but we forgive him because he's sort of cute.

Those Disney channel boys…

Rachel said she used a bobby pin to open the door 

That’s what should’ve happened from the very beginning, not that disgusting mess with Leo.

They could’ve even said that Andrew/Dimitri had a fling when Dimitri was in the ISA and that he feels that Andrew was “the one that got away”

Rafe is an anti-chemistry guy. He just works as a mean boss.

Jada and Shawn is someone I would really really like to see. Especially a baby. Jada would solidify her place on the canvas with a Shawn baby. And then Belle can go and die in a ditch or something.

I’m done. F*ck you, Brady

I’m tired of him. Get rid of him too. I was totally Team Ava today and I’m glad that it’s looking like she’s gonna dump his pathetic ass. The only thing that they needed to do was really have Ava go all out and rip Brady a new one about his awful kid and how ridiculous he is. They didn’t go there today and they really should have. 

Luckily, they seem to go there with Gabi. Her vs. Belle and Paulina was the best part of today. It was a pretty good fight. They’re still missing the family beat about Belle and EJ but I’m really liking the mess that so many people are involved in over him. 

Speaking of EJ, except for some clowny, campy moments, he seemed more villainous today and I liked that. That’s the way he should be, instead of treating everything like a big joke. And I’m totally behind him being the one to get rid of Kristen’s annoying ass mother. I’m liking how this is all coming together. 

And I was liking Shawn confessing everything to JJ. I hope their relationships as family and as partners continues. Having JJ, and hopefully Gabi too be a part of Shawn’s mess with Rafe/Jada could be really good. And for the first time in a long time, I’m finding Rafe and Jada interesting

Not Jason but this is what's been said. Perhaps it will suffice till Jason's here. 10 months ahead on scripts, on the writing. 8 months on tape, in the can. 

And, I think the only person, at DAYS, ever, to have to be paid longer than, what you've said here, was James E Reilly who had what is called a "no fire" contract, which is a misnomer, because he could be fired BUT they'd have to pay him the full amount whether he still worked for them, or not.

Also I'm sure you're right about not having to pay if they edit. I've never heard anything even remotely like that. Scripts do get changed when the time comes to tape them. That's not even an oddity. Just a thing that happens.
