A new establishing shot... that now makes Salem look like Philadelphia 😂😂

But it was nice to finally see Jeremy again. He really seems to have fallen down the card lately lol which I guess makes sense, considering that he's the obvious red herring in the whole Stephanie's stalker storyline. Hopefully, that changes now because there's still so much that they can do with his character, in spite of the fact that he was really douchy with Maggie today. Perhaps, she can help him work through his anger and douchiness. And while that's happening, Kate can launch a coup at Titan. Which could also weave in Alex and Stephanie as well, who were, once again, boring today... until the end lol their cliffhanger was good. I'm interested in seeing what happens with them next week. And it was nice to see Alex dressed in something different than those disco dancing outfits that he wears.

Btw, Michael Roark looks like he really could be Roark Critchlow's son.

Despite the Leo of it all, I'm all for Johnny joining in the fight to take down EJ. He should have been the one trying to do it from the very beginning. It just makes more sense for Johnny to be the one to do it, considering the storyline. Pitting father against son even more than they already are is a great idea. And it would be good family drama for the two of them and everyone around them. Hopefully, he continues to play a part in it, especially now that EJ's been shoved into the crypt too. I have mixed feelings about this whole Dimeras in the crypt thing though. I liked Chad and Theo's scenes today, but at the same time, I'm getting a little tired of it all in general. Hopefully, this storyline won't be so one note next week. Btw, EJ seemed really stupid today lol maybe he wasn't playing Cat after all, which is too bad.

Speaking of Cat, I'm glad that she called Rafe out on his hate boner for the Dimeras. It makes sense for Rafe to be like that, but he's just annoying about it. I still find Rafe so insufferable sometimes 😂😂

There is nothing organic nor endearing about his work, everything is so studied and mannered, the relentless gesturing which is obnoxious rather than inspired.

So true. He is the worst recast. He comes across as very obnoxious, which is something that Theo is not. Very bad recast. Hopefully, Days has since recast they shoot so far ahead.

I'm bored with the show. It doesn't help that Leo is still on the damn canvas.

I'm waiting on the two big returns.

I might just pull the plug on this soap when they leave.

Peacock has gotten too expensive anyways. I can save some money.😂

Yeah. There has been a bit of a lull lately. But I am liking the way that they're building some stuff up.

As for Peacock, just watch other stuff in the mean time 😉😂😂

Was looking where to post this...

Wouldn't mind playing ball and meeting two of the soap hunks Josh and Colton.

How did Willis and Ben end up working with soap stars? 😂😂

Don't know why they are there.😂

-- I like the Theo recast. I think he's a strong actor who didn't have the learning curve most new soap actors have. He seems comfortable and self-assured to me.

-- Eric Martsolf will always be good-looking, but his shirtless days should be over, at least at his present weight and fitness level.

I think Tyler Joseph Andrews is a good recast for Theo, but I also think there is something off putting about his portrayal.

I'll preface this by saying I don't know enough about Autism in general or even what type of Autism that Theo has. That being said it appears like TJA really leans in to portraying Theo's Autistic traits and it sometimes comes off cold and studied-almost like he's trying to win an Emmy for playing someone autistic instead of naturally infusing that as part of the character. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Anyhow, I do think he's a better actor than any previous Theo's-I just don't find him as likeable.

I thought EM looked fine shirtless. He's thicker than he used to be, but he's still in very good shape.

I guess it depends on where you fall on the spectrum. I have a cousin who’s autistic and he doesn’t speak like Theo at all.

With Tyler, I think most of his choices work well for the character, but I also think Theo’s newfound coldness should’ve stemmed more from what Claire did to him, or even what Ben and Ciara did to him. Or especially because he felt betrayed by JJ.

That way it would make more sense for Theo to be like that now, when he’d never been like that before.
