HUH? Viewership is DOWN because we're getting The Leo Show. DAYS no longer appears on Peacock's most-watched list.

-- This past week was absolutely awful except for the Xander/Sarah showdown, and the focus on Leo is the reason. He is NOT a hero, he is NOT a leading character. Writing him as having interest in Dimitri just because Al Calderon is leaving is another mistake. Better to recast immediately than to make Leo look even worse than he already is.

-- We fell in love with Peter Porte when he first came to Salem. Now? He can leave. Pairing him with Leo did him ZERO favors and the bad hairstyle makes it even worse.

-- Mark is another one with the ridiculous hair. Doesn't work. Another character with a promising start who Cwikly and Ford have done nothing with.

-- The Rachel and Sophia stuff is now bordering on the ridiculous. No one keeps Sophia out of Rachel's rooms. No cameras anywhere watching her movements. She went to the library? I guess there's no sign in and no one there to report she wasn't there. Instead, she's walking around Horton Square buying a cellphone. JFC.

-- The show is CRAP right now.

Huh? Where did I ever say that viewership was up? I’ve been trashing Cwikly and Ford for months and continually point out that Days is not in the Top 10 on Peacock like it was regularly when Ron Carlivati wrote the show.

You said the Leo scenes are great. You said Leo is front and center. You said they write for Leo because he's so popular with the audience.

Throwing in a line that you hate Cwikly and Ford doesn't erase this Leo Love. The show is bad because it's become The Leo Show.

Yeah… they put that Christening together in record time. Too bad Marlena couldn’t be there, but at least they gave us a reason though.

There was a little too much Javi and Leo today. But I admit, I probably would’ve loved their scenes if they had involved any character other than Leo. I’ll never understand why they’re giving so much good storyline and good scenes to a character that has only like four fans. That’s the wrong choice. Even I liked Leo, it would still be the wrong choice.

The time jump to the ceremony was a little clunky though. But I thought the ceremony was nice. Despite the acting, Javi was really sweet in those scenes too. And they used a real baby 😂😂

And yeah, I also don’t understand why they didn’t have Sophia actually slap Holly. There definitely should have been contact. That was another mistake in this storyline. But I’m glad that Holly raged at her lol it was classic Holly. Classic Holly that could drive future storyline.

And I like that she got to vent to Ari about it, who once again, spoke for all of us. Ari revealing to Holly that she might have seen Sophia in the square could lead to something interesting happening. I just hope Days takes the chance.
