Why did Rafe suggest Javi go to EJ to influence his boss to not punish him? Why wouldn't he suggest the mayor, Paulina? She would do it obviously and it would be pretty easy.

Honestly even if I like Leo I would be put off by his behavior with Javi. Javi asked Leo to leave him alone and he won't. Give Javi some space.

I feel like there should be some wacky storyline where E.J. develops a split personality named Elvis, lol.

I think Conner Floyd is fitting in very well. I was wary of this recast, but they've done something smart by not immediately centering him in story. He's around, he's interacting with the right people, but he's not the focal point right now, so we're able to get used to him. Surprisingly smooth recast.

I also have to say that I'm not seeing this "new vision" that Noel Maxam has allegedly brought to the show. At all. It's the same Titanic with the same deck chairs shuffled around a bit. Sometimes some of it works, more on a scene level than an overall story level. They hit some nice character beats (as they have been for the past year), but there's very little juice to any of it.

Found this on BlueSky, posted just recently. Just an example of the hilarity of SORAS. Sarah lashing out regarding Neil and Maggie's affair behind Mickey's back, so she arranged to have Maggie find her in bed with Neil (who was retconned himself as her bio dad [Lane Davies' Evan Whyland was actually the dad, if I recall!], and Sarah didn't know, obviously!).

All the way back in 1991. LOL! Sarah Horton must have found that fountain of youth!

I do think it's seemed a little less all over the place in the past few months, and that there's a plan in place for the storylines, as opposed to Marlena's dreams last year, which ultimately ended up being nothing.
