So then the show thought they were clever to make Trey the bio/foster/adopted offspring of several families:
bio from Choi and Greene
fostered by Hernandez
(legally fostered by Rafe, practically fostered by Javi)
adopted by Price and DiMera/Brady

The idea was good theoretically; but, from the scenes I actually watched, the writing has been poor and some of the acting was bad.

It happened right before Sophia went into Bayview. Brady thought Baby T was Tate/Sophia's son, had his DNA tested by Sarah, found out Tate wasn't a match and realized he wasn't the father. Tate told Aaron this and Aaron confessed he slept with Sophia too. Aaron got tested, found out he was the father, and decided to sign over his parental rights. He also supported Johnny/Chanel's adoption of Trey. Then he disappears for months at a time lol.

Ah so that's how I missed the paternity reveal. Thanks.

Do we know who Chanel's father was?

if Lauren Koslow's husband is still the head of the hair and makeup departments, then he should be replaced, too.

His name is George Dupree.

Bless his heart but the actor (don’t know his name, don’t care) who plays Aaron is not cut out for soaps. This episode won’t be on his Emmy reel. 🤣

Btw, I liked Holly/Julie's scenes and Julie using her own history to comfort Holly, but I think they got the history wrong about Julie/David/Susan.

They definitely got the history wrong. Susan's baby did die and it was Julie's son who had been given up for adoption. Susan killed David before Julie's son was born.

Thanks! I thought so.

All the more reason that Days needs to hire a continuity person 😂😂

I was thinking when watching today, wait, I posted all those scripts of Baby Dickie dying!

Yeah, I was so confused for a minute and had to retrace the steps to make sure I wasn't going nuts. I was like, "Dickie Martin survived and got adopted?!"

SSH didn't even play that story, so she wouldn't necessarily know. I appreciate that they tried to use history, though?

The Jennifer/Jack, Jennifer/Gwen, and Jennifer/Cat stuff has been nice this week. The stupid hypnosis stuff, however...

Here's how Baby Dickie died and how Susan then killed David:

Thanks Jason. Susan killing David over Dickie's death is the first Days story I remember so that stuck with me!

It's literally the story that saved DAYS. (Well, that, and the Laura/Bill/Mickey triangle). How you could screw up the details on one of DAYS' first successful storylines is just beyond me.

Welcome, Gus!

I still don't see why this is necessary though, or how a show that supposedly has no budget can afford to keep hiring new actors, non-contract or not. Plus, I also don't see why Javi's new bf couldn't have been Dimitri. Or Mark. Or even Aaron. You can get a lot more drama and story opportunities from that. And I imagine Days could've saved a few dollars by using an already existing character to fill the role of Javi's bf. But I am kinda interested in seeing this all play out. And yeah, he's cute 😊😉

The one thing I'm not looking forward to in this storyline is more Leo, who once again, just came off like a creepy stalker today. Idk, maybe it's just the way Greg Rikaart plays it that annoys me more than anything (Sorry, Greg)

But I did enjoy Gabi and Ari going head to head again today over Liam. They still look more like sisters than mother and daughter lol but I like the way this is all being built up. And I'm looking forward to seeing what Ari does now. And seeing the moment that she finds out the truth about why Liam left town.

And while I'll never enjoy this Lexie storyline, one of the few good things I could say about it is that it's giving us good scenes of Abe and Theo together. I like the way Abe comforted him and that Theo had someone to talk to about how overwhelmed he's been feeling lately. It felt very realistic, to me. EJ and Lexie were pretty much FF material though. Btw, Shawn was in the hospital for three months for a measly little gunshot wound but Lexie, who was "dead" for 15 years or whatever is all ready to go home after just a few days? OK. 😂😂
