Well, she's a very giving actress & she comes from a tradition where the majority of players were that, giving, so naturally it is her first thought or intention to be complementary to her scene partner & since y'all have a preference for more natural acting over stylized, or even mannered acting, then, of course, you see her as "better" when she's toning it down with people who are more or less letting it all hang, natural style or playing realism. It's not per se better but it is a different rung on the acting ladder. 

I like her no matter which or what but my personal preference is different. It's fireworks & "swinging for the fences" to use Drake's & Brandi Carlyle's phrase.

I watched the episode since Kate was in it and everyone had such positive comments on the scenes and I concur. They were great. The music cue, on the other hand, was the strangest choice for it and the volume of it was way too loud.

I really liked the scene with Rafe and Johnny as well. You make a great observation about Galen Gering working well with the younger actors on the show. His 'kind dad' vibe kicks in.

The EJ/Kate scenes were electric. So good to see Lauren Koslow with Kate having her strength and fire back.

I think it goes: Lucas, Austin, Billie, Phillip, Rex, and Cassie. Lucas only gets first place because Kate raised him his whole life and covered up a murder for him, I think Kate *loves* Lucas the most.

However, I think she *likes* Austin the most. He has basically never disappointed her and always done the right thing by her, and generally.

Rafe is probably one of the few characters that should have had a child years ago or had a long lost child show up.  Rafe has been on a loop of failed love interests and cop/adventure stories and he's far too old for that now.   Since the show seems to have no plans to write Rafe off, I would at least use Rafe in a capacity that works for him.

That's a pretty spot on assessment that I would agree with, so Lucas is #1 on my list now.

I still think the show missed the mark by not making Lucas a main player in this story.  It really has nothing to do with Phillip in the end.

I could see that working. There are certain things GG does well (sarcastic/snarky and Dad-Mode), and they don't use them nearly enough. I actually loved the scenes with him and Johnny, which surprised me.

I always liked the Rafe/Johnny relationship and I’m glad Days remembered it. 

It also could be pretty interesting if, as a way of distancing himself from EJ and the Dimeras, Johnny joins the police force or even the ISA.

That's actually a really good idea.  I don't know if that would 'age' Rafe too much, but there could have been an interesting dynamic finding out he has a grown son that is gay and now thinks he's in love with Leo.  Javi could be resentful Rafe was never in his life and some of his selfishness and obnoxious with Leo could be because he's trying to test or annoy Rafe.

I always enjoyed Rafe with Allie as well.

Galen is 54 years old, lol. Rafe probably should've had a kid by now considering how long he's been on the show, but I suspect the fact that he never seems to really spark in any romantic pairing has kept that from happening. So maybe a secret child is the way to go with him.

It would be a lot better than Javi just being a Leo prop.

The obsession with him messed up another storyline that could’ve been really good

    • I never liked Reva, either the first time around, or the second. My issue for the first go round was that Reva dominated the show, which was a shame because I didn't like the character.  Loud, insecure, narcissistic "look at me", "here I am, entertain me" individuals irritate me in real life.  It wouldn't have mattered to me who portrayed the character...Zimmer or someone else. Reva is a character inherently inimical to the idea of ensemble.   Post 1995, Reva was no longer a character, but a device.    
    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin

    • -- I didn't want to be the first person to mention it, because I've complained so much about Chandler Massey's smirking and grinning in the past. He just cannot get through a scene without breaking -- that grin broke through every time he ran into another character today. He looks young -- and good -- but I am not a fan of this acting. He's not trying. -- I agree with others here about this goodbye. The bandaged John is a throwback and a full circle moment, but it's gone on too many days already. I especially hate the "He's getting better" stuff. That doesn't work since we all know how this ends. -- I'm glad to see the return of all these characters and I love the flashbacks, but I think DAYS could have done all that without the bandaged exit.
    • That's the one thing I really dislike about all this. Orpheus should not be alive.  If anything, I hope he's erased from existence from here on. He has no purpose now that John is dead. 
    • Yeah, it's so undignified. And looked it! But man, you can tell Stephen Nichols, etc. are not acting. They should've canned the fake voice guy at the very least. Great, now I have to try to remember who the fúck Xander is related to.
