I thought Porte was bad, and just an odd screen presence, when he was on Y&R, but he fits the DAYS atmosphere. Or DAYS of Ron and onward, anyway. I do feel bad for him just existing as Leo fodder.

Al Calderon was so bad as Javi in the final scene of today's show that I couldn't stop laughing.

I mean, what the actual hell is he doing??? He can't be gone soon enough.

He was horrible. I wasn't sure what he was doing in that final scene.

Why should I care about what happens? I loathe Leo, and Javi is so poorly written. No way should two guys vie for the love of someone as evil as Leo.

I found the show rather boring. The couples on this show lack excitement.

Another long one. 44 minutes.

I will say that it was a mistake to not have Marlena, Chad, Rafe, Gabi, etc. be there yesterday to witness and be a part of the confrontation but I did enjoy some of their scenes today. Leo, once again, proved what a selfish POS he is, crying more about himself and what Rafe and Gabi would do to him, instead of being more worried about Javi. It really is sad that Marlena got stuck with him. Seriously, this character needs to die. It's well past the time. There's nothing to even root for, especially because most of the times that he tries to be sincere, it comes off as fake.

I did like Rafe and Gabi comforting Javi too, even though Al made a lot of strange choices again today lol Javi's drunk voice was a little annoying.

Surprisingly, and despite the Peter Porte of it all lol, I was actually on Gwen's side today. She finally got the chance to rip him a new one. A chance that she never got when we had a head writer who was a raging woman hater, and I enjoyed it. It was definitely something that needed to be said. I wish it had gone on a little longer though. But overall, her and Dimitri finally going head to head was nice to see. I have mixed feelings about all the talk of Dimitri's inheritance though. I figured that Gwen would've spent it all already. And if they're gonna keep bringing up Dimitri's time in the ISA, they need to bring Andrew back, at least for a little while. I think that's a storyline that a lot of fans would rather see. I know I would.

And yeah, maybe Dimitri could use a haircut too 😂😂

But Theo's finally awake!

I'm really interested in seeing what happens now that Theo's going to be ok. This crypt thing kinda stalled his storyline and I hope to see it be kicked into high gear again. There's still so much that can be done with the character. Abe did a really good job today as well. Btw, Paulina was a little stupid at the beginning lol

And, I'll always love Chad/Julie scenes 😊😊☺️

Choking to death? 😂😂

I thought Javi was having some sort of panic attack yesterday. I actually think that is what he was going for in the last scene. Lol. Maybe?

I wonder if that's for another role, although a number of men are growing their hair out now (don't tell Pete Hegseth).

Whatever it was, I wonder where he picked up those acting tics from 😂😂😂

It’s possible, but Peter does seem to change his hairstyle a lot 😂

Days is a mess. Make it make sense! I’m glad Leo is front and center. Greg already has his Emmy reel for the 2027 Emmys but the story is weak.

Too bad that Theo woke up. I liked him better when he was laying in bed sleeping.

You know, AC is lucky to be acting on the same show as Rachel Boyd.😂

AC trying to do his best GR as Leo impression was annoying to watch. I'm not enjoying Gwen versus Dimitri 2.0 either. The whole story is a dud.

Finally, a day without Leo... even though today was a little ehhhh 😂

It was good to see Justin and Bonnie again, but this whole thing with Kate, and Bonnie writing a novel is just not necessary. I'd much rather see Kate in the business storylines teaming up with Xander to oust Maggie from Titan or to undermine Johnny somehow. Not only would that be a better storyline, in general, but you could also get more storylines as a result of it. As for Bonnie, Idk what to do with her lol

The same can be said for Alex and Xander. The book thing kinda dragged them down a little bit today as well, but luckily that was somewhat corrected as the episode went on. I liked seeing the two of them at odds over Stephanie and her stalker. And hopefully, that continues. The effects of that could lead to something good happening, especially after this whole stalker thing ends. Not having the two of them at odds has always been a missed opportunity for Days. Having Jeremy play a part in all this could be really good as well.

I'm also a little interested in the mystery of who was helping Peter during the crypt thing, and I'd like to see Rafe and Jada continue to investigate. I think Rafe's hate boner for the Dimeras should be used more in his storylines though. His obvious bias against them could lead to some good drama for him and everyone around him. Hey, if they brought Andrew back full time, that would be a good way to use him as well 😂😂

As for Kristen and Peter, I thought Stacy Haiduk did a good job again, but Peter's return still seems to be falling flat to me. IMO, that seems to be the biggest problem with Days right now actually; a lot of the scenes are good but the storylines themselves are just not necessary or aren't good ideas overall. And if the way that today ended means what I think it means, then his whole return was just a massive waste of time.

Maybe they had the same acting teacher too. 😂😂

What's with all these book storylines? They are all just awful.

Stephanie's definitely needs something more. The stalker thing and their suspicions of Jeremy should be causing problems for her and Alex.

I finally gave up on DAYS after the John/Drake goodbye, but a part of me is tempted to watch these scenes for a good laugh as well. I don't know why Leo and his romance became the center of this show. Until DAYS amends its taping schedule, it's hard to get invested when so many bad stories are airing.

Do Patch and Kayla have a good story? I was binge-watching the GH Spencer/Cassadine war, and Stephen Nichols is such an incredible actor. It made me more interested in his work as Patch. I can see why he and Kayla were so popular. It tickles me that Patch and Kayla are complete opposites of Katherine/Stefan. I loved them as baddies but also understand why lightning didn't strike twice for them as a pairing.
