I bet!!

Today's episode was better but that's not much of a stretch considering how bad the show has been.

It really is good to have Theresa back again.

Amy didn't know about EJ crimes yet she knew about Theresa being in jail.

Johnny and Chanel adopting the baby is still a bad idea.

Mumbles always ruins scenes. The cliffhanger didn't match the promo. I wonder if tomorrow the director will reshoot the ending. I was hoping Mumbles would've told Johnny the truth today.

I kind of agree, but then again, after suffering through Body & Soul for months it might just look a lot better in comparison. But then again - I don't think Ron was fired as much as he reached the end of a contract cycle and was let go. But who knows how many months in advance he was let known? They might've given him directions or something to follow to even out the transition to the new writers. He obviously didn't just come into the office one day and was let go in the middle of writing scripts. Otherwise I'd feel there'd be a lot more immediate changes.

Then again, as much as I'm loving the build up to

But then again, that we're finally getting secrets that have been boiling for decades finally coming out I don't mind predictable storytelling.

As much as I don't mind Roman telling Johnny the truth, I will always feel like this is Lucas's moment and secret to share.  Roman's been mostly okay with EJ for years.  It's strange for him to be the one to deliver the news even if Sami is his daughter.

I know the show has no use for BD or Lucas.  I just always thought he would be the one to spill the beans.

Yep

And it was good seeing him not take any of EJ’s crap. And so much better than that hatchet job that he got during that Body&Soul nonsense.

As for Roman, usually I can understand him but today was different 

I hope we find out the real story someday. I’ve had so many suspicions, and after today’s episode, I have more.

I guess Ron could’ve known that he was gonna be out once his contract was up, but we didn’t know lol and Days usually isn’t good at keeping secrets

We knew Abigail was gonna die 6 months before it even happened

Absolutely.  Too many losses.

Josh T. looks mostly the same as he always has and fairly healthy so maybe he got a new pair of dentures or some tooth work done. 

ETA-that's not shade.  I have veneers on my front teeth and sounded slurry for a week after and I was in perfect health lol.

Dear Mr. Taylor

We have a good news/bad news situation. Unfortunately, due to a mathematical error, we accidentally replaced your normal 32 teeth, with 42 teeth.  Bad news, annunciation is bound to be a challenge.  Good news, ten extra teeth, no extra charge.

Keep chomping ice,

The Soapiest Moment of the Day has got to go to Belle and Marlena.  Belle has just learned that her 77-year-old mother is going to go put her life in danger, and she responds by whining about not finding the love of her life.  I'm mean,,,, maybe let the woman focus on her stuff for a moment?

Potentially, if someone allowed Amy to speak for more than 90 seconds at a time, we could finally understand her motives.  Is she doing all of this to save face among her church community?  Is it to punish Sophia?  Is her husband a tyrant?  Let's get to know her so that she doesn't just seem like a shrew with excellent timing,

I was honestly surprised by EJ's confession today.  It made me wonder if his twisted mind has not allowed him to equate what he did to Sami, versus what Arnold did to Sami.  But, I would assume Sami has made her feelings about both events quite clear.  So, even if EJ's value system was askew at the time of Johnny's conception, he is currently aware of the consequences.  It was a good scene, once again ruined a bit by being cut into mini-scenes, rather than just allowing us to watch the entire discussion at once.

Yet, I felt the same way as Johnny when he expressed surprise at his father's remorse; which is a tantalizing setup for tomorrow's fall.

I would counter that since it is 2025, there can be resolution without redemption.

There has to be some way of writing a reason why they could both co-exist in the same town.

While I don't wish for an exit.  It is also a given that he'll never find peace or happiness.  Except for the brief moments with Sami, he has never felt love since he committed a savage crime.  

Note:  It is not my intention to say that IRL EJ's internal pain would qualify as justice for his heinous actions.  I am simply saying that according to soap universe justice, he can never be written as satisfied because of the character's history.  And given those rules, there are not a lot of story possibilities for a man who must stay at the brink of misery for the rest of his fictional life.

Also, I must give credit to some clever character work that is enabling the eventual fall to be compelling. I really found myself in Johnny's shoes at the end of the episode.  It suddenly seemed more realistic why Johnny had never talked to EJ about the animosity between his parents.  And to hear Johnny say to Chanel that he was surprised by EJ's remorse is a clever twist before we know that, as Maggie said on Wednesday, 'nothing stay a secret in Salem.' (whereas in real life things stay secret all the time, my parents died never knowing that I dented their mailbox with my car when I was 16, if I grew up in Salem, soap universe justice (SUJ) would have made me wear a prosthetic thumb forever).

I suspect that's the case - I've noticed he only ever seems to talk with the lower part of his mouth. He doesn't look unhealthy, so yeah - I think botched or ongoing dental work. 

I agree with those that say that it should've been Lucas flipping out. I think BD would've also given the scene more gravitas than JT can at the moment.

    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
