And luckily, it sounds like he's still filming. There's still so much they can do with his character and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I'm glad he's still there, too.

Well tbf, it's almost like they're trying to show us how to save a few dollars in real life 😂😂

😂 They're doing a fine job on that front!

Friday was probably the worst, most dullest boring episodes of Days. Even Greg couldn’t turn crap into gold. Days is so boringly bad! Can we please get new writers.

Not a bad week. For me, Leo ruined the Friday episode.

I'm also sick of all these characters who get to meet with Owen alone. And Stephanie closes the blinds? Only on a soap.

In a soap world with terrible police departments on every soap, the Salem Police Dept. is the worst. Jada and Rafe are awful.

I think it would be fun to post the ways we get DAYS ON A DIME 😁

I mentioned the diagonal hospital beds. Can we add the 6'x8' living room at Alex and Stephanie's?

PCPD is so bad the local mobster is considered a respected member of the community by some and literally killed a federal agent and they just gave up.

I’d definitely watch if Peter Porte was the host 😂😂😂😂

Such a good guy, isn’t he 😉😊😂😂

Welcome back, Dimitri/Peter Porte! I've missed you 😍😍🥰😊

Too bad you're still being wasted though. And it's sad because he actually did a really good job today. He was less campy and more of the romantic lead that we know he can be. I just wish he had said everything he said today to Andrew. Or Paul. Or Mark. Or anybody else. The problem is, and always will be, Leo/GR and (even though she wasn't in it today) Gwen/EOB. Just because actors enjoy working together doesn't mean they should be paired up or appear in storylines together. And I never thought I'd find any pairing with someone as breathtaking and as talented as Peter Porte in it to be so utterly repulsive 🤮🤮

But he did look good 😊😊

And hopefully, his little exchange with Cat leads to him meeting Mark.

Btw, Paula/Jeanne pissing all over Beyond Salem just as much as Ron Carlivati did isn't the right choice either.

I did enjoy Theo and Johnny's scenes though. I don't mind Johnny possibly staying on as CEO, mostly because of the conflicts that it could lead to for him and everybody around him. This could all go in so many different directions and involve so many characters, especially considering the plagiarism lawsuit, Philip/Gabi/Theo, Ari's internship, Lexie, etc. The pacing's been a little clunky, and everything should be tied together much more but I am enjoying all of this.

And I'm totally on board with Brady possibly joining BlackPatch. It just feels like a good fit for the character and is also a perfect way to help carry on John's legacy. Plus, Brady as a character, could use something different to do that doesn't involve Titan, Basic Black, etc. And he and Steve actually work well together. I also wouldn't mind him being the one to stop whatever Kristen and Rachel are planning for EJ, because that just feels like a waste of time, to me. And another pairing that should not exist either. It feels like Kristen is regressing once again and that's definitely the wrong choice. But I'm glad she's finally moving out of Brady's house.

Speaking of EJ, he didn't do much for me today either. All this stuff regarding Stefano's will reading feels so unnecessary.

Today's episode was okay. Nothing to really write home about, though. The opening dialogue between Brady and Steve about podcasts being trendy was a bit tryhard. And how many times is Kristen going to target EJ? And it feels so out of character for her, given past instances between them. Plus, Sophia? Kristen would not need Sophia to pull off her plan. At all. She's do it herself or manipulate people mentally into doing her bidding, without full-out saying that's what she was doing.

Thank you! I couldn't be happier that someone else sees it.

I'm glad that Peter Porte is having a good time, but this association with Leo (and Gwen) is doing so much damage to him and the character of Dimitri. And is a complete waste of him. He deserves much better than that. I completely believe that he would have more fans and be more popular with the Days audience if he just got a fresh start, and started appearing with different characters.

And honestly, my initial comment is nothing new to soaps. I'm mean, I'm sure Charles Shaughnessy and Mary Beth Evans enjoyed working together, but nobody can deny how unpopular the Shane/Kayla pairing was or that it did some damage to both characters.
