So far this week really feels like the show is settling in properly. I even enjoyed Martin's material now that's he showed his ass (and a damn fine one at that) to the grandparents. Plus, now Vernon has an inkling all is not well with Dani, and he uttered the infamous line about "Never keeping secrets" I reckon this is one thing he'll keep to himself much to his regret. Can you imagine how fantastic it'll be when Vernon and Anita have their first big bust up? I'll be sat!

I'll give it to her, Naomi is no coward for wanting to be there the moment Bill got served. I look forward for that confrontation tomorrow.

Another strong episode today, first one I’ve liked from RC and DP.

They really showed how in the weeds a lot of the characters are. Dani and her day drinking and needing stans to boost her head up, Bill dealing with his creep partner and missing his daughters, Martin and his ego and nightmares, Chelsea wanting to be free of Dani’s control of her career etc. They ripped the bandaid off of most of these by the end of the episode too which was a fun watch.

Vernon seems to be Dani’s biggest enabler. Him sitting with her to talk about Bill and Hayley while she’s about to drink first thing in the morning was sad. Especially when Anita joined him and told him Chelsea was about to crush the only thing he felt is making Dani act right. I’m glad Chelsea is finally telling her mother the truth.

Martin was so rude to Anita and Vernon, yeesh. I hope Smitty drags him now that he knows about the want to run for President

Naomi pulling up on Bill just as he receives notice of the sexual harassment lawsuit against his firm was the highlight of the episode for me. The actors have great onscreen chemistry as father and daughter adversaries. I hope we get a full out court room battle with this storyline.

Looking forward to tomorrow

It truly a shame some people in this country are against this. Pure diversity. 

......but I digress. Naomi is upset with her father, but going against his lawfirm is way out there. I guess it's for the greater good.

Those two are really great together on screen.

A Ron C episode I actually enjoyed... miracles never cease.

Some of the dialogue between Anita and Vernon made me wonder if Martin is truly their son, or if the dialogue was too vague.  Anita's mini rant after finding out Martin was running for president was priceless and the final scene of Vernon/Anita taking a drink in silence said a lot.

Naomi vs Bill will be so good.  You could see in her eyes that she still does love her father, but she also is furious with him.  

Nice to see a warm Anita/Chelsea scene, and that it showed a diversity in terms of how each grandchild has a different relationship with their grandparent.  I am curious to see how Anita/Kat would interact.. to be honest.

A nice understated cliffhanger with Bill figuring out Naomi is suing him, Chelsea finally telling Dani that she doesn't want to model, and Smitty confronting Martin. 

Is it Wednesday already?

It looks like Wednesday's episode might be the clash of the Hamiltons: Naomi v Bill and Chelsea v Dani! 

I really enjoyed today's episode. The legal story gives me Ally McBeal vibes, which I love. Mike Davis is a temu Richard Fish.

The Chelsea firing Dani story has been simmering for a month, if Dani has the freakout I expect, it could send Chelsea running to Bill for support and protection from her mother.

I misheard Smitty say that he wants to write a piece on #MeToo, the captions clarified that is not what he meant, but it made me think Smitty might be inspired by Ronan Farrow.

This has been Danielle Paige's strongest episode, the family interactions today reminded me of her best work on GL.

Let's also give Ron Carlivati his flowers!

I'm kidding, but at least this should allay fears that everything he touches will turn to ash.

I enjoyed today's episode. I am loving Bill (outside of his love for Hayley). I really do believe that he loves his daughters and wants to reconcile with them. I agree with those who say that he has good father/daughter chemistry with Naomi. I am rooting for them to make up at some point. Plus I think that Bill is sexy.

I would like to see Smitty be less passive and get more of backbone. He really does need to do something big for himself, like really be proactive about getting a job and getting back out in the workforce. I think it would be good/healthy for him.  I would like to see him using his journalism skills more. In the earlier episodes, it seemed like he was doing that a little bit, but he's been suppressed since then. I wonder what Martin's secret is and why Smitty isn't trying to find more about what is disturbing him. 

I continue to enjoy Anita's bond with her granddaughters. She is so good and loving with them. I love how close knit the Dupree family is.

If this show was written by Bradley Bell... It would have been Anita stealing Bill from Dani probably. Thank God... Its MVJ.

      Anything, but this non-story.  Who cares if Stephanie publishes her Danielle Steel novel or not?  Maybe Joy will be back sooner or later with the baby. Last Chance Sale at Nordstrom rack.  I bet JJ has one too. Yeah.  For some reason I thought they shuttered the whole Publishing department after that.

      Quote from the May 14, 2025 AP article on BTG: https://apnews.com/article/beyond-gates-renewal-d7369f7a60a0a992483294acb950ef6d Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen’s vice president of diverse insights and partnerships, says 52% of the total audience is Black. “It’s bringing folks along for this really unique story being told in a lot of ways for the first time. And so, yes, the Black audience is leading here, but there’s a whole lot of other kinds of folks who are tuning in, too,” she said.

      I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said he shouldn't have been upset about it. He knew before the wedding and went through with it anyway. She offered to split up with him. He decided to stay. Then he treated her dirt, even after she had just lost her baby. If he couldn't deal with it, he should have left her. (Or, SHE should have thrown him out. The story made no sense.)

      I wish the triangle with Philip was still going on with them. Maybe Days got a good deal

      The only way I saw successful playlists for DAYS uploaded to youtube was maybe 10 years ago  .... The uploader had code names for each playlist by obscure nicknames for each character, without mentioning DAYS or the actual character names in the description.  You'd have to be an expert on the show's history to know the obscure nicknames for each character - something mentioned in the show's dialogue once years before. Importantly, commenters were asked to not mention the name of the show or the characters or the actors in their comments, or their comments would be deleted, which meant that the channel owners had to check it daily to delete such comments. AND the videos were all unlisted, so you'd know about it only from word-of-mouth, but were asked not to post about it anywhere. This was many years ago and I enjoyed watching those as they were up for several months. However some unaffiliated fools would create their own playlists on their own personal youtubes, linking to the unlisted videos and labeling their personal playlists with real show name and character names... so of course Sony caught it eventually and it was all lost.

      I honestly felt like Gabi/Alex had a deeper conversation on their short date than Stephanie and Alex have had in their entire relationship.   Didn't Alex try to reboot Titan Publishing with Theresa, and it flopped?   So Sophia and Rachel have the same birthday?  Lol.  It was strange Tate got sick at the party and I have no clue what Sophia's about.  I really don't think she's scheming, but I do think she'll ending wanting to keep the baby. The Kevin stuff is a bit silly.  He needed Phillip to tell him to just make one dose and bring the rest back?  He doesn't have time to do that before the Dr. comes back to the lab?  Kevin's right outside lol. Nice Kayla/Marlena scenes.  I really hope they don't drag finding John out much longer. She said closing in.  Deidre was sobbing so hard I had to check the closed captioning

      Literally the same exact jacket from the same designer, Steve in black and ShawnD in brown. I posted a bunch of May 14 and May 15 episode photos on page 2 of the May spoiler thread, including the matching jackets and the designer.

      Some people will never learn not to mess with Sony/Cordy lol Someone uploaded Days 1984-85 on YouTube with the full name and air date and they wonder why their channel will be banned and the videos lol As much as I love seeing it. We should stop uploading them directly on to dailymotion or Youtube. Such a waste of time
