One year of Paula/Jeanne. And I gotta say... things can be a lot better than what they are right now. They started off strong and the change that they brought to Days was really, really needed. But since then, they've gotten a little boring at times and made some wrong/pretty stupid decisions, some of which were clearly choices. And it's too bad, because there are a lot of things that I'm liking about Days right now, and there's so much potential for good storylines and conflicts that could play out for months, or even years. They, and everybody BTS at Days just need to do more. Lots more. And further use the characters that fans actually want to see. And realize that when they present themselves with a good idea, they should run with it, regardless of any budget or BTS issues. There are plenty of ways to tell a good story without a big budget, as we've seen on Days before lol. The one thing I will give them, without question, is that Days is no longer being written by someone who uses it to project his own endless supply of issues on to everybody and everything. And that's a good thing, regardless of how bad or boring an episode is. As for today's episode, welcome back, Joy... I guess. I figured this dangling plotline needed to be addressed at some point, but I have mixed feelings about it. She/AlexAnn Hopkins got a really raw deal the last time she was on the canvas, and I'm interested in seeing how she's gonna be used this time and what may happen to Alex and Stephanie in the process. And I hope we find out the reason why Joy's first run was so clunky and messy. But at the same time, this baby thing feels so unnecessary, in general. The whole reason this kid even exists is because of Ron's obsession with RSW, and that totally handcuffs that, IMO. And there are much, much better ways to cause conflict for Alex and Stephanie that have nothing to do with Joy, as we've been seeing lately. And like I said in the spoiler thread a while back, I could probably get behind this if Hopefully, Stephanie turns to somebody else as a result of this storyline. EJ? Xander? Philip? Anybody. And welcome to Days, nuVictoria! Both Sarah and Xander were really sweet with her. And I wouldn't mind her somehow playing a part in Xander and Sarah's inevitable reunion somehow. And yeah, this is a nitpick, but why is that big kid still in a stroller? 😂😂 I did like Xander going head to head with Marlena over Basic Black though. I completely understand why Marlena doesn't want to work with Kate anymore lol but I'm curious to see what's going to happen for Marlena/the company now. And also, what's going to happen when she finds out that she was named a beneficiary in Stefano's will. As for Kristen and EJ, their fight was ok. And the slap was pretty good too. The biggest problem with all this was just Kristen and EJ, in general. I would've liked their fight a lot more if they had involved any characters other than them.
