I think LA left on her own the first chance she got. Her exit was pretty abrupt to say the least.

Honestly, I can't blame her.

When you have a boss who's garbage, and a head writer who makes it clear how much he hates your character, leaving is bound to happen sooner or later.

Days is a hot boring mess.

Yeah. I don't think Lindsay Arnold ever said anything directly, but I have to imagine she was tired of Allie being used as a shock value prop instead of a real human. The rape, the baby, the devil possession, the twins fighting over Chanel, being bisexual, having threesomes, cheating, etc. etc. It was always clear the writing was slanted against her. It's too bad because LA was very talented.

Today was a bit of a misfire. Full of characters and storylines that nobody likes lol

But with any luck, hopefully EJ and Rolf's scenes today means that one of those storylines and characters that nobody likes will be ending soon. I don't really care about Gwen possibly buying the hospital out from under EJ either.

Despite what I said yesterday, I thought that everything surrounding Destiny and Xander/Sarah was the best part of today. I like how Xander was there for her. She really needed an ego boost today, and I'm happy that the love of her life was the one to give it to her. Paul and Lindsey are just good together, even when their characters are at odds. Their family bonding scene at the end with Victoria was really sweet too. And I'm curious to see if Destiny's death is going to be somehow tied to what we saw in the spoiler promo.

And I'm glad that JJ and Javi are partners. I hope Days really invests in a friendship between the two of them, especially since I still think the ship hasn't sailed yet for JJ/Gabi. And because I think Javi's gonna need a friend sooner or later lol they looked good in their matching uniforms too 😊😊

I do wish we could've seen their reunion though.

And yeah, I couldn't help but laugh a little bit when JJ spilled the beans to Leo about Gus moving to Salem 😂

About to watch. Cannot wait to see how boring and awful the episode is because Cwicky and Ford wrote it. Plus, it not being in Peacock's top ten surely means it's a crapshoot. 🤣 And then they will read the Soap Opera Network message board and be so upset, insulted, and hurt. 🤣

Continuing to hammer home that Lexie has been gone for 14 years, and catching up on events that happened between then and now, is a bit drawn out. It's rehashing things that really don't need to be rehashed, all for the sake of filling scenes. And Lexie being proud of Theo being named CEO of DiMera? Yeah, that does not track, especially since Lexie never wanted anything to do with DiMera Enterprises. Lexie was always the moral compass of the DiMera family, so this pride seems misplaced.

Jackée Harry continues to be ridiculous in her "acting". She should have been fired before she even made it to air. It's a character that could be ditched easily and would not be missed. At all.

The little girl that plays Victoria is adorable. And is a pure natural. Bold should take note of the child "actors" they have cast.

Richard Bloore needs to be replaced as costume designer. The designs he puts on his cast are tacky, boorish, and dated as f**k. It's bad. It's cheap. And it looks horrible. Overall, though, a solid episode but with little movement. But not bad. We endured worse during the fiftieth anniversary.

I wonder if DAYS dropping out of the top 10 on Peacock was the real reason for bringing Ryan back.

I mean, they're obviously aware that the show isn't working right now since they brought Maxam in and then Quan back. A tired point, but it's just unfortunate that they're taping so far ahead that they can't really do much.

I'm not sure if it would work, but I do wonder if the show went a little edgier now that it's only streaming if it would help attract some new viewers. For example, show us way more male eye candy! Could a butt shot or two work, for example? LOL I mean, the fact that they're streaming should open up new possibilities in terms of story, too. They don't have to do the exact same thing they did on NBC for all those years.

For the love of God though, no more back from the dead, Dr. Rolf, and non-stop Dimeras. I wish they would get back to more relatable stories and characters which I think would work better on such a small budget, too.

More dull Days episodes this week. At least breakdown writers are only involved with their assigned episodes. They do not write long term story. The awful combo of Cwikly/ Ford are involved with every episode, unfortunately. But, change is on the way! Thank god.

Days is all over the place. Who is Destiny? Why do we care that she died? Another example of these inept headwriters not having a plan. Monday they had the Green’s unseen mother as the central story and Tuesday into today we had Destiny (who??) as their main story. lol I have very high hopes for Ryan Quan. It’s going to be a LONG year. And poor Days still isn’t in Peacock’s Top 10, like it used to be when Ron was writing it.

Just looked back on this thread. You know that Days is really, really bad when the 2 gossip people Jane and Carolyn can’t get their gossip straight about Albert Alarr from years ago. June 2026. Days is a mess!

It's Caroline btw!! Not Carolyn. If you call me out @TEdgeofNight at least get my name right. 😂

But that takes couth, education and brain cells to do. 😬 Or maybe it's because of your disliking of Greg Rikaart's Leo.

I mean my name is literally spelled out next to Vanessa over there so Idk what to say.

I know I am on an unpopular island disliking Leo here. He certainly brings in the viewers.........oh wait. Is Days out of the top 10 on Peacock? There may be too little of Leo. 5 days a week isn't enough. Maybe he needs a twin?

Well, reading is hard to do, despite being so fundamental in life. Again, it takes education.

Time to recast Theo and make him Leo's twin, and then their other brothers, Dio and Neo. Plus their uncle, Tio.
