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.

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
