I thought it might be the actors saying things in a strange way, but I don't think that's it.

Maybe.

I sometimes wonder if they're allowed to ad lib during taping, or if the scripts are followed verbatim

I really hope it's not the former. Even if the dialogue doesn't always make sense, the script writers still work very hard on those scripts under the most impossible circumstances. Allowing the actors to ad lib would be insulting.

It's not exactly the dialogue being wrong it's more the phrasing being confusing. Like Gabi saying I have known Theo since high school. So it becomes vague like you've known Theo since he was in high school or you went to high school with him? Or when Cat said Aaron was out of town which I think implied while Sophia was pregnant? It's almost like they don't finish entire thoughts on screen.

Today was a weird one.

I can't really explain it. All the elements of a classic soap reveal and fallout were there, but it just felt weird, and handled in a very strange way. It also seemed a little too rushed. The writers, producers, etc. really should've taken more time with this. Gabi, Kristen and even Chad chiming in with random comments wasn't necessary either.

But I did think that there was some good acting today, particularly James Reynolds. He really did sell it, and I am interested in seeing what's going to happen as a result of all this. I'll never be a fan of Lexie being brought back to life, but it could lead to a lot of good things happening for every character involved in this storyline

And I actually did enjoy Gabi/Tony too. Days just really needs to kick her storyline into high gear and have the truth finally come out. It could also be really interesting if that got further tied to Theo, and everything going on with him as well.

I still don't care about Kristen or Leo though. Just kill them both off.

I agree - just kill off Kristen and Leo. Both are albatrosses to the show.

I have truly enjoyed the past few episodes of DAYS. The story has holes as big as the grand canyon but the actors are making the best of it.

Kathryn Foster and Noel Maxam are definitely having a positive impact on the show but PC and JMF are terrible and need to go. They never should have been chosen as the replacements for Ron Carlivati. I still think Dan O'Connor and David Kreizman should be the headwriters.

Today was very couple heavy.

And not a Dimera in sight!

Some couples were nice to see, some were just... ehhh 😂

Ari and Liam stood out to me the most. I like the dilemma that they're in, and her being so persistent and seductive with Liam is completely in character for her. I also like Liam's characterization. It feels like the classic soap trope of the bad boy with the heart of gold. And despite nuAri not exactly setting the world on fire for me, I do think that she and Liam have chemistry. Their kiss was kinda hot too lol but I do think they need to introduce another guy (Theo) into this storyline for Ari, which could further tie this storyline to Philip/Gabi and their storylines.

Speaking of Philip/Gabi, they were sweet today. I just hope all this buildup is worth it for the moment when Gabi's secret finally comes out.

Tate and Holly were ok too, even though Holly was a little annoying, especially with Sarah. I actually wouldn't mind the Choi's trying to get Holly charged for the online posts she made about Sophia. That could lead to something interesting happening. And I do think we should've seen Tate working in the dojo 😉😂😂

And I'm glad that Marlena had Belle to talk to about the will reading, and about everything else. In some ways, her scenes today felt like a closure moment for her/John and Stefano. And I agree with Marlena; as much as I liked Stefano, it's time to close the book on him. Marlena comforting Belle about Shawn was nice as well. I just think Shawn needs to be featured more in this storyline.

Chad should hook up with Holly Tate and cat are boring
