What a lousy opening scene

Please register in order to view this content

After today, I think I finally understand why some posters thought Javi was obnoxious and selfish. Like, who orders people around in their own house? If he’s gonna be nothing more than a Leo prop, then just write him out. And seriously, who TF falls in love in a month? Gabi was clearly supposed to be the bad guy today but it didn’t work and it never will. 

But I’m glad we got some follow-up with EJ and Johnny. EJ’s fight with Kate was the one of the best parts of today, even though the background music in their scenes was ridiculous. And honestly, whoever picked it should be fired. And there seemed to be some continuity errors too. Does the show not remember that the night EJ raped Sami was also the night that he shot John and was on the run? But the fight itself was good and it was even better seeing Kate continuing to get her strength back. EJ hinting that he could target Philip as a way of getting back at Kate could be interesting too. 

I also enjoyed the Rafe/Johnny scenes and I’m glad that the show remembered their relationship. Johnny raised some pretty questions too, that I hope are answered once

I also appreciate the way that the two of discussed Sami. For the first time in years, she feels like an actual character instead of just a plot device/troublemaker.

The ending was pretty good too. It’s definitely time for Old Rachel to get lost.

I fast-forwarded the Leo and Javi scenes. The rest of the episode was good, but the cliffhanger! The mind-erasing drug again? Time to ship the DiMeras away from the show. They have run their course.

The Kate/EJ scenes were great!  Weren't EJ/Kate once an item?  Back in the early James Scott years?  Kate's really been around so it's hard to recall.   I always thought Austin was her favorite child, not Phillip lol.  I put Phillip above Rex and Cassie, but below Austin, Lucas and Billie.

Good scenes with Rafe and Johnny as well.  Galen Gering works really well with younger actors in general.  Much better than with love interests.  

Is that the first time we've seen an exterior shot of Rafe's house?  It's pretty nice.  Javi was completely obnoxious today.  Leo didn't even bother me for once.  How rude is it to just have Leo move in?  Javi doesn't even pay rent and Gabi is not just his roomate but his boss.  She has extremely valid reasons to not want Leo around.  Javi just completely ignored her.  I am sure Jada didn't think she was going to be living with four other adults when she agreed to move in with Rafe.  She's better off at Stephanie's.

IIRC EJ and Kate were lovers, but not committed to each other.

I've always felt Lucas was the favorite, because she spent the most time raising him.  Then, Billie, Philip, Austin, Cassie, and Rex, in that order.

See, I did think about that.  Lucas has a case here.  I was under the impression that Kate overcompensated with Austin and Billie because she didn't raise them.  Plus, I also factored in how pro-Austin/Carrie and how anti-Sami/Lucas she was.  Austin just seems like the least screwed up one and caused minimal trouble.  Kate doesn't feel like a 'girl mom' so I'd rank it-

1. Austin 2. Lucas 3. Billie 4. Phillip 5. Rex 6. Cassie  

Phillip doesn't top any list for me in the end.  He's obviously Victor's least favorite child too.

I do believe Peter will return full time one day.  It seems like the recent losses may have changed his views and perspective on Days.  And Bo is truly needed on this show now more than ever.  I think we all know I am not much of a Bo/Hope fan, but I am a Bo fan.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
