Gwen killing Laura offscreen and still walking around town ruined her permanently for me. I equally disliked her and Leo so I didn’t care when he betrayed her.

Yeah.

I guess on some level, she did deserve that.

But that’s how bad the Dimitri storyline was lol and the fact that it was probably  written that way just so that Ron could get some kind of sick pleasure out of it made it even worse

Why would Gwen assume that she is welcome at the Horton House given that she's wearing Julie's necklace, and she is the confessed killer of Julie's Aunt Laura?😉

She didn’t assume that. She was just being a dick 😂😂

I admire that you admit this.

Ron Carlivati can be very sneaky. Which is why I was worried about him being at BTG

Welcome back, Bonnie. It's been a while.

I like that she was finally there to comfort Sarah. They really did have a nice relationship for a while and I'm glad to see it onscreen again. Plus, this is a much better use of Bonnie/Judi Evans than how she was used previously 🤮

As for Xander, I don't mind him seeking comfort elsewhere (for a little while anyway lol) but I still don't see the point of that comfort being Gwen. There are other people on the canvas (Stephanie) that he could have been paired with. I wonder why they chose not to go there with the two of them, especially since it seemed like they were hinting at it for a while. Plus, the book thing could've been the perfect catalyst to cause conflict for Stephanie and Alex and have her turn to Xander.

Speaking of Gwen, I still don't like her but I'm totally on her side when it comes to Leo 🖕

I was really impressed by Javi today. Seeing him call Leo out on what he did to Gwen was great. We definitely, definitely would not have gotten that if Ron was still writing. Too bad that he ultimately forgave Leo though. With any luck, at some point Javi will confide in someone like Gabi  that that revelation totally changed his opinion about Leo. Which hopefully, Gwen will exploit. Btw, ruining Dimitri even more than they already have isn't going to make me like either Leo or Gwen. 

And, I see that Ari is still loving her some Doug III. Her finding out that he owes money to people could lead to something interesting happening. Now, they just need to have the two of them interact with Tate/Holly/Sophia, etc. again. Doug III's feelings for Holly, and that rest of the mess have basically been sidelined by the loan shark thing and I'd love to see it again.

Belle comforting Marlena was really nice as well.

 

So, I was thinking about Gwen, which is not something I enjoy doing. But, I hated her so, for what she did to Abby, to Chad, even to Thomas & Charlotte. Then, on top of all of that, which is a lot, killing Laura, who should've been on canvas for many more years. 

Then, Dimitri enters the picture, all beautiful & all, but he & Leo do Gwen so bad that you had to feel something for her, which I know I resented. It was as if a horrible person got sympathy because two other awful people did her so dirty. And, now I've been reminded of that whole disgusting time.

I know the feeling.

I think of that story and I feel like gotta spend in a few hours in a decontamination unit, but at the same time…

😍😍😍

It’s been tough 😂😂😂

Hopefully, Gwen will get back at Leo for everything he did

If only she could do that, that might make a difference!

Do we think that is going to happen?

 

The thing about Javi, except for his being with Leo, he seems full of moral fiber. Maybe he could help Gwen get back at Leo? If they joined forces, they could be something to be reckoned with.

I love my Leo but he’s in a bad storyline. Leo taking care of a baby??? Thanks new writers for a bad story. The Leo of old would never want a baby. And that Javi actor has to #1, learn to act, and #2, stop making those bad acting ticks with his mouth. He always acts like he’s acting. He needs an acting coach.

That’d be nice.

Javi and Leo definitely need some conflict

It felt like a breath of fresh air today. 

Bonnie finally got to talk like a real person. No mugging, no sitcom timing, just a woman who’s been through it telling Sarah the truth. That line about having three kids with a man who beat her until Mimi killed him? Brutal, without being theatrical.

And the advice wasn’t about Gwen, or romance at all. It was about Victoria. Bonnie said: you know what Xander’s capable of, so protect your daughter. If you can get him to confess to beating Philip, do it. That’s not dirty, that’s survival. And it meant something because it came from someone who waited too long.

I don’t know if the show will let her stay in that register, but for today, she was smart, specific, and emotionally grounded. I’ll take it.

AND, bravo 👏🏼to Days production 🎬 for choosing the visual of Sarah scrolling on her phone for pics, rather than clutching a silver framed 8x10 glossy photo of Xander.

PS - 🤞🏼please don't let Sarah be moved or motivated in anyway by Xander and Gwen's kiss.  Let Gwen keep him, it will be Sarah's greatest revenge.

There are a number of deaths this show should reverse, with Laura being at the top of the list. Killing off such a legacy character that way was disgraceful. 

  • Member

Speaking of Laura and her poorly-written death, Gwen should be rotting in prison. Hell, she shouldn't EXIST, but I'd take prison.

Why is this retcon nobody still skulking around? If the show loves Emily O'Brien so much, keep her Theresa and call it a day. At least that character has actual ties to the show.

But this whole deal with Xander and Sarah mooning is already OLD. And I say it as one that likes/liked the pairing once upon a time, but if this is the best the writers can do? Move Sarah on to...someone. Let Xander/Gwen out smug each other. But nothing new is happening here, and I fail to see why Gwen needed to come back at all.

So, Xander and Gwen didn't have sex.

I have mixed feelings about that. I guess it's a good thing but at the same time it could've led to some pretty good drama. And the fact that they didn't go at it makes Gwen's return even more pointless than it already is. Like, what happens now for everybody? But I do have to admit that it was better written than the Johnny/Joy non-sex thing.

I did like seeing Gwen and JJ's confrontation though, but I wish he had spent more time ripping her a new one instead of letting her get the better of him about Julie's necklace. They've never really had a relationship and he didn't have to be as nice as he was lol hopefully, we at least get more scenes of the two of them in the future. If there's one thing that this pointless return could lead to, it could be JJ being used more effectively.

But I do think that writing Philip and Xander's scenes at Titan as such a big joke was the wrong move. It just didn't fit in with the way that this storyline's been written lately, which I've really been enjoying and today kind of hurt it, as a whole. Did the worst writer in existence work on today's breakdown?

As for Tony... based on the way his scenes were written today, maybe those rumors that are going around are actually true. 

The cliffhanger was good too, but I don't think that that character was EJ's shooter either. I think there's another twist coming.

We didn't see a new suspect today, we saw Chanel get turned into a misdirection.

Here’s what I think happened. EJ found the memory card that Rafe planted and watched the footage with Tony in the June 30th episode. The original video showed Johnny confronting him the night of the shooting. Instead of turning that over, EJ cut that part and spliced in the argument he had with Chanel from the episode that aired on June 20th, after he had already recovered from being shot. He then had Rita mail it to Belle. That’s what Belle and Jada saw today, and it conveniently shifts suspicion to Chanel right after Johnny’s arrest.

Tony’s reaction makes more sense if you read it that way. He doesn’t want EJ pulling stunts that’ll blow up the case. But he’s not sentimental about Johnny either—he wants leverage. If Johnny gets cleared the right way, he can be used. They can drop him into Titan and start working as the DiMeras’ mole. So yeah, we got a lot of movement today, but I don’t think the case just cracked. I think EJ had Rita send them a doctored memory card and redirected the spotlight.

Also, Gwen’s now had scenes with Julie, Chad, Xander, JJ, and Leo, and not one of them has asked where she’s been, what she’s been doing, or why she cut her hair. Sure, she’s a lot—but isn’t anyone just a little bit curious where she’s been all this time, at least to provide exposition on behalf of the audience?

I was thinking that maybe the real shooter doctored the memory card
