Today's episode was solid. Some great dialogue between characters, which I always appreciate. I only wish Paulina's exit were permanent; Jackée Harry should have been let go years ago. And then Lani's parentage restored to its original story: Abe and Tamara.

Javi's new boyfriend is cute. Michael Ocampo is a naturally charismatic actor who definitely suits the role, and his immediate chemistry with Al Calderon is noticeable. Hoping, come June, that chemistry still exists and that Ocampo's stay is not a short one.

I like how the relationship between Gabi and Ari is developing; this was missing when Marissa Reyes was in the role of Ari. Again, family is a cornerstone of Days of Our Lives, and while you may not like or even love the families featured in today's episode, it is nice seeing that core theme of family being represented in today's episode. More of this is needed. Some easy watching, with some good character-centric dialogues happening.

Susan wanted to make sure David was GOOD and dead, lol.

John 😢

I can't believe it's been a year since John's death already. Like Marlena said, it still feels like it just happened. I'm glad that today was mostly devoted to John, Marlena, their family and their storylines. It was the right decision to have them be front and center today. And I admit, I started to feel a little emotional during the scene of Marlena at John's grave. I wish it had gone on a little longer. Dee really gave it her all in that scene.

But it was nice seeing her spend so much time with Brady and Tate. Marlena's spent so much time with her patients lately that it was refreshing to see her with her family. I still have mixed feelings about the whole Stefano's chess set thing but I'm interested in seeing what happens with it, especially since a pawn piece is missing. I wonder if it's going to end up meaning something. If it does, hopefully, it ends up involving the entire Evans-Black and their storylines somehow.

Btw, we got a great opening scene too 😉😍

I still hope we see Tate actually spar or beat somebody up with his newly found martial arts skills someday 😂😂

And welcome back, Eli! It was nice seeing him reunite with Lani and Julie. I'm curious to see what's going to happen now that both he and Lani are back in Salem.

As for Julie/Foster... Idk.

Well, we have hit the one-year mark of John's death, and it does not feel like it's been a year yet. But it has, and the emotional tugstrings are tugging.

I wish I cared about Amy's thirst for vengeance, but I don't. Between the actress' lack of talent (which, for Days of Our Lives, is saying something) and my lack of care for both the characters of Amy and Sophia, this is not landing with me.

That gentleman clearly crushing on Julie is cute. However... I am not quite sure how I feel, storywise, about giving the actress a new onscreen love interest.

Days just has scenes now. No A stories or B stories. They put a bunch of scenes together and call it a show. Sad.

This is how I feel. Plenty of the scenes are nice or have good dialogue or touch on interesting ideas. But there's no drive to any of it. The episodes feel VERY LONG to me.

That opening shot of Tate got my attention, at least!
