Really frustrating show today:

-- I agree with others that Leslie has made far too many visits to Ted's hotel room. Why would he entertain a thing she said?

-- More plot convenience: Kat walking in Ted's hotel room without knocking just so she can catch them having some contact.

-- I don't mind Jacob and Kat confronting Mona, but they'd better get to Shanice in a New York minute.

-- In no universe was Dani the victor in those scenes with Hayley and Bill. She made a complete fool of herself -- again. She had a couple good lines, but they were lost because she's already lost the plot. Breaking into someone's house will not garner sympathy for her.

-- Even if Hayley isn't pregnant, Dani will never be the winner in those scenes. Why not let the months ahead take care of that?

-- Dani pulled her "I'm a Dupree" at Uptown, and it was as obnoxious as it sounds.

-- I never thought that back room was the full casino. Regardless, it's always looked cheap and ugly.

-- Vanessa is for the streets. I'm sorry, the woman is trash.

-- Do I want to see Joey and Vanessa having sex on a poker table in a back room at a casino? I do not.

-- Actually, I don't want to see Joey and Vanessa having sex anywhere.

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but people on Facebook who have the Canadian feed have posted clips of Friday's episode, plus the video preview for next week.

I'm not a happy camper.

Dani and Doug interacted for the first time I believe. Could that be indicator that they will hookup? As wacky and drama filled as Dani is I think she'd have a lot more respect for Doug than Vanessa does and Vanessa really needs a dose of her own medicine.

They have renewed my interest back into Hayley. I hope they keep writing her like today. She was fun and looked fabulous.

Facts on top of facts! And that is the area that I want them to deep dive into more. 

I forget what her purpose was for even visiting him at this point. Leslie had a great May but she can not do more of the same in June and July.

I became very excited to see them interact. I don't know where it is going, but it could be a joy to watch.

I think Doug needs to get his own sidepiece, but not Dani. Dani is only tolerable with Andre (and her daughter Chelsea), so let's keep her there.

How about Shanice? She seems like she really cares about him as a person.

It seems like it was tested with all the concern she showed him. Obviously Dani would create a lot more conflict because her sister is Vanessa's best friend, but on the other hand Vanessa could pull the socio-economic class card on Shanice which would make for good conflict.

That could apply to Dani too, and Leslie looking at herself in the mirror being crazy. The gambling scenes were pure fast-forward material.

 

The best part of the show was seeing Mona.

 

BTG is slowly becoming background noise when I watch it.

I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.

    • 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.
