I seriously doubt that Bo knows the unfortunate details of Ciara's husband, that she even has said husband & def does not know about their 2 children. Also I am quite sure he is unaware of their imitation of his & Hope's sailing around the world.

I imagine he thinks that Shawn & Belle are together.

These are the only things I can think of, that you have not.

This is where Ron’s writing kinda screwed up the timeline.

The Bo that actually died and was in Heaven in BS2 knows all of this and knows everybody.

But in the current timeline, where Bo never really died and had been cryogenically frozen by Megan for all those years, he shouldn’t know any of this

Round of applause for Raven Bowens. She was stellar as usual.

The Julie/Maggie scene was wonderful as well. With our recent talk about the Bistro, I could see Julie and Maggie going into business together.

And Philip learning about Doug was an interesting development. 

[Soaplovers]

I liked the callback to the 1st episode of Days of Our Lives with the mention of Julie being caught shop lifting.  Julie should be doing more than just volunteer at the hospital, but what?

Maggie calling Phillip to task was a good scene, although she was blind to the toxicity of her insta son Daniel.  

While I understand Sarah's reasoning for not cluing Xander in regarding her knowledge of Phillip's fraud, this is a soap opera and he will find out.  I assume he'll find out before their 1st wedding anniversary.

Chanel/Johnny was so

  I understand both of their viewpoints, but I agree with Chanel that she needed time to digest the news Johnny was telling her before he told Sophia/Tate that the adoption was off.

Days may have a lot of faults and things to fix... but the one thing they know how to do is an end of episode fade out.  Beyond the Gates... take notes.

My heart broke for Chanel today. Marlena's advice was awful and instead of making Johnny recognize he is not his father and to embrace a better future she managed to make him wallow in it. And how dare he tell Tate and Sophia before he and Chanel had even made a final decision?? At this point I hope Chanel and Paulina adopt the baby together.

I could just feel Sophia's despair too. She finally had a plan and could look forward to being a teenager again and now this is all uncertain again. Anybody else feel she and Tate are stuck with this kid?

I am thrilled the new writers are very clear that Sarah's motivation was not that she wanted to respect Victor's wishes, or she was sympathetic to Philip's mental health struggles, but that it was all about loving Xander, fearing losing him to jail, and protecting their family. That makes sense, whatever Ron had her spouting in January did not.

Hi Doug3! I've missed you! I enjoyed his random run in with Philip. I still much prefer him with Holly to dull Old Man Tate.

And my favourite pairing of Xander and Philip were on. When Xander whispers "I want to throw you out a window" he is really saying "I love you".

[Soapsuds]

The writing has improved, but some of the acting is still poor.

Poor Chanel. She should have slapped Johnny before he left. I'm glad they are addressing how Johnny is not ready to be a parent.

The actress playing Sophia still can't act. She is terrible.

Nice seeing adorable Doug again.

[Wendy]

You just had to utter that name, didn't you?!

I'd like to thank the new writers for giving Sarah a plausible motive regarding not telling Xander about Phillip's fraud. Lord knows, Ron sure as hell didn't. And I recall reading somewhere that even Linsey Godfrey, herself, was at a loss. How the hell are actors supposed to sell something if even they have no idea what's going on?!

[Efulton]

Are all of the episodes that have streamed on Peacock still available for viewing on the streamer or do they get removed after a period of time?

[Contessa Donatella]

I don't think all are but a lot are. The earliest I can see is 4-30-24. It is part of season 59. We are now in season 60. Season 59 has a notation that it is 84 episodes. I'm not sure where these numbers come from.

[janea4old]

 

That's how it was when I was a Peacock subscriber. The available episodes go back exactly one year from whatever "today" is.  So currently 4/30/2024-4/29/2025.  As they add each new episode, the oldest one disappears.

For DAYS, the new season usually starts on Peacock in August or September. 
(even though primetime NBC starts in September of October).

Season 60 began last week of August 2024.

There are currently X number of episodes of season 59 available.
When they upload a new season 60 episode tomorrow, there will be one less season 59 episode available.

Thank you!

Thank you!

@EfultonBTW I believe that this is the scheme that CBS soaps have long followed, also, whether on CBS or on Paramount Plus. I know this because once I went looking for an older episode of Y&R. 

[janea4old]

On the cbs.com and paramountplus websites, Y&R and B&B have the current season that starts in August/Sept/Oct (the season start date varies each year, but it's autumn.)  Once the new season starts, they delete all of the prior season from the website.  The only exception being that during the first week of the new season, they keep the last few episodes of the prior season online, but they remain available only a week and then they're gone, too.

EDIT:   Correction
What I said works for paramountplus -- the entire current season is online.
The cbs.com website has only the most recent five episodes available.

Okay, I stand corrected on that. I was way off in what I thought I recalled. Thanks for that better info.
