DAYS: March 2026 Discussion Thread

Happy Birthday Julie!

I thought it was really nice that Maggie came over to comfort her about everything. And that Julie was able to discuss how she’s been feeling about what she’s think is going on with Jeremy. And that Julie thought that Maggie coming to see her was a sign from Doug. That was sweet.

Speaking of Jeremy, he finally got an apology from somebody! And I hope it’s the first of many. His explanation about everything that happened at the school and how he found out about Owen and Stephanie seemed a little clunky though, especially Thomas’ part in it. Didn’t he and Chad and Charlotte already leave Salem?

As for Wes Ramsey, I do think he’s at least trying not to be a carbon copy of Peter August. There wasn’t as much hoarse whispering from him as there is when he’s on GH lol but I think, in my eyes anyway, the damage had already been done, when it comes to his acting.

I have mixed feelings about Owen working for Rolf at the lab though. I do like the idea of two storylines coming together and the possibility that it could lead to something really good happening for all these characters. The problem is that I’m just not that a big of a fan of the lab storyline itself, regardless of all the speculation about who’s in the pod. You can get much better B-storylines out of the whole lab thing than anything involving Owen.

But I did appreciate Philip and Gabi’s history lesson on Owen and everything that happened the last time that he kidnapped Stephanie. I don’t mind the two of them together, but I think it’s time to kick their storyline into high gear. And Philip did look hot today 😉

Their final scene was actually a little hotter than what we’ve on Days lately as well 😉😂😂

No, Chad and family final scenes were the day before, however it was written that Thomas and Charlotte had one more day in school. (offscreen)

Thanks.

I hadn’t realized that it was still only supposed to be the day after the last time we saw Chad.

That exit was strangely written lol

Very intrigued by the pod storyline. I don’t do spoilers so I have no idea who is in there. Enjoying Noel Maxim’s stuff so far.

It was confusing to me too. The show probably said that Chad/Thomas/Charlotte were leaving after school, but I thought they were already gone. The show could have avoided confusion if Rachel or Sophia's brother found the phone instead.

So, it looks like Justin borrowed somebody’s leather jacket 😂😂😂

But I did think he was used very effectively today. I liked the way that he comforted Alex. They really should have more scenes together, despite RSW’s acting, which I thought was a little rough today lol he still has trouble with emotional scenes after all these years. But overall, their scenes were nice, especially since Alex said that he had a dream about Adrienne. Sonny is still Justin’s favorite though 😂😂

But Owen, spending half of the episode hallucinating Stephanie was a little unnecessary. It felt like filler. Despite the clunkiness of this all, I’m interested in seeing what’s going to happen. And I do like the way Stephanie’s kidnapping is involving most of Salem. In some ways, it helps make Salem feel like a big community where everybody knows everybody.

I’m still not too sure about the whole pod thing, or why they chose to tie Owen and the kidnapping to it.

And while I still think they’re missing the mark with Johnny and his storyline, I did like his and Theo’s scenes together as well. They brought up an interesting dynamic about their fathers, which I hope gets explored more. I wouldn’t mind Days establishing a friendship between the two cousins. Or a feud, in the aftermath of Kate and Xander’s plan.

Speaking of Kate and Xander, I’m still really interested in their plan for Dimera, not only because we now know what their main goal is but also because Kate revealed that she’s using Ari as an unwilling spy. The pacing for this storyline needs to be a lot better though. We should be seeing this plan play out a lot more, especially now that we know Ari has a part in it. This could have such a huge ripple effect across the canvas and I really, really hope it does. That’s the one thing that Days needs now more than anything, IMO.

Agreed.

It makes it strange that Chad would leave town with Thomas after school when I assume he would be aware that Jeremy fled and was about to be arrested. Chad would stick around if he knew Stephanie was kidnapped. Plus, now Thomas actually has info the police could use. Anyhow, that whole plot point was poorly executed.
