I see what you mean. There are still some things I'm not liking, but storylines do seem a little tighter and less all over the place.

Exactly. Again, I attribute this to Noel, who I feel like has a vision as EP. Whereas it felt like Janet was just sticking her finger up her backside and hoping something would stick.

Marlena comforting Belle about Shawn was nice as well. I just think Shawn needs to be featured more in this storyline.

It's weird how anything involving Shawn is a quasi-storyline that mostly takes place offscreen.

Same.

I'm just talking about the fact that the writers have to churn out so much material in so little time, with no real time to tweak or perfect their scripts. Jean Passanante once referred to soaps as a "first draft medium," and I actually think she was right.

Ah, gotcha, thank you!

Helloooo Daddy Choi 😍😍

Despite me not being a fan of Sophia and her storyline, I'm glad that Days finally introduced her father into the show. It was weird that so much stuff was happening to Sophia, and yet he was off screen the entire time. I wouldn't mind him having a bigger part in the storyline now, especially since Amy is so determined to get Holly charged with a crime and because Holly is still being so nasty and bitchy. Something good could happen as a result of this. His and Amy's scenes weren't that bad either. All of this could lead to some conflict for them, which could also involve Tate/Holly in some way.

And yeah, I gotta say it, he's gorgeous

Speaking of gorgeous, I'm glad that Shawn is finally getting out of the hospital. It was nice to see him interact with his cousins Sarah and Johnny. That doesn't happen too often lol and it really should. And now that he's back at Jada's apartment, I'm interested in seeing their storyline, and their relationship progress. The only thing I would suggest is that Belle should've been in it today. Maybe her scenes with Marlena, and Shawn and Jada's scenes today, should've been in the same episode.

I was also liking today's round of Gabi vs. Ari. It was a pretty good showdown, not only over Liam, but Gabi and Ari's history as well. Ari's confession was a bit of a surprise but it makes perfect sense based on the history. Even despite the prison terms, Gabi wasn't the best mother and I really like that Ari brought that up. And revealed that that was the reason why she lived in Arizona with Will and Sonny for so long. It is a little deserved lol and I enjoyed it. That's how you use history. And I'm really looking forward to seeing all of this, and Ari and Liam's relationship, play out.

Btw, who knew that Will and Sonny were such helicopter Dads? 😂

Johnny and Chanel were really sweet too.

Overall, I thought today's episode was a really good one.

One thing at least, we now know that Lyme disease isn't gonna stick, regardless of which character gets it 😂😂😂

And weird that he was in the hospital for 3 months for a measly little gunshot wound 😂

But at least, we saw him today. I still see chemistry between him and Jada; the only thing is we need to see it a lot more
