i really wanted to start a post to praise Ashley Benson earlier today, but didn't get around to it..She was incredible today, probably her best work yet..I really hope they keep her on board...

Glad Jack seems to be getting better, and i really liked the flashbacks to all jack's returns from the dead..even though its rediculous that there have been so many..Billy Warlock really got me in that last scene, i was a little teary eyed..

Not much happened today with the austin, carrie, lucas, sami stuff..But the end with Austin and Carrie made the day for me..That kiss was smoking, and i loved the fade out ending...Can't wait for the lumi stuff tommorow..

Shawn, Mimi, Belle--LAME...i can't wait for Jason, Farah, and Kyle to leave...hopefully this storyline sits on the backburner...

Just wanted to get on the Ashley love train here. She is so believeable as Jack and Jenn's daughter. I just don't know why they wouldn't keep her, and I would so want a Max and Abby pairing. It is nice to see that the right people are starting to get together on the show.

Sorry, I have to say this again, but it just blows my mind that JER came up with such lame storylines for the show. When you think about what he put jack and jenn through again, and put every person on the show with the wrong person, it makes you wonder what he was smoking. Did he really think that this would make for good storylines? I still think he was purposely trying to ruin the show.

Ashley and Matt did a great job yesterday, and Ashley is perfect as Abigail Horton Deveraux. I hope that when the ratings come out today, Days is still in good shape. If the ratings stay at a 2.7 or better and the demos are all at first or second place, then maybe Days can afford to keep Benson and possibly rethink that Ashford decision as well. Salem needs more young Hortons, not less.

As for Lumi, they are ancient history. Lucas has been treating Sami like she was sloppy seconds for more than a decade, and that "it's a shame we can't clone Carrie" comment stuck a fork in it for me. I do NOT want Sami to get saddled with him. Austin and Lucas can duel over a barren Carrie for the next 50 years, but Sami needs to finally break away from those two losers. If the new writers don't want to pair Sami with EJ (I can't imagine why not though), then keep Ashford around and let Jack and Sami team up.

I would love Jack and Sami "teaming up" but not Lumi being sacrificed for the sake of it.

Bryan and Ali are just magic in scenes together and are proving it again this week.

Loved the Jack & Abby scenes. It was one of those rare times when you want to laugh and cry at the same time. Ashley has so much poise for such a young age. She has amazing potential as an actress.

Like I said before, it's a shame Abby for the most part is a prop and a pimp for Chelsea. Ashley Benson is talented, she can do dramatic scenes, so why must the writers shove Chelsea down our throats simply because she's a Brady? I'll never understand the fascination with Swamp Fetus.

The baby quad scenes were terrible. You all know how I feel about Mimi and Farah's "ability," so that's all I'll say about that.

Frankie is a joy to watch. I will miss him and his friendship with Jack.

OH!!! The one thing I didn't like about Wednesday's was Jack pimping Frankie and Jen. Enough is enough.

Wednesday's show proved that Matt Ashford shouldn't be fired and Ashley Benson is a really good young actress. I'd be happy for both Jennifer/Frankie to ride off into the sunset, and Jack to stay on in Salem as a broken hearted single parent, raising a teenage daughter and Jack jnr.

Is it remotely possible Sheffer could persuade Corday to change his mind, particularly if the rumor is true that Sheffer had a huge SL prepared for Matt Ashford on DAYS?

God, I hope so.

I think they could do a great story with Jack as a single parent.

I think Hogan has the power.

The fans want it and SN said he hoped Matt would be brought back. He actually sounded pretty sure we would see him again. It is my hope if the ratings and demos keep improving and if Corday sees that fans are open to Jack staying on by himself maybe he will change his mind and keep Matt. I really hope that happens .

I still don't see how, after all this, Jack and Jenn would split up.

In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say: no-[!@#$%^&*]-way.

I must add my praise for Ashley Benson and her work on Wednesday. She was great. As Bree has astutely pointed out why must Abby be a prop for Chelsea? I could understand it some time ago when Mandy Musgrave was playing Chelsea. She and Ashley Benson complimented each other better. But Ashley and Rachel Melvin don't compliment each other all that well and Ashley is wasted as Corday focuses on what will happens to Chelsea next over and over and over again. As it stands Ashley is the prettier actress. She looks great compared to Rachel Melvin. And she has proven to be a fine actress in her own right. If she does leave it may be for the best considering she can do bigger and better things.

Could Corday may a mistake like this,losing Ashley Benson as it seems he will? It shouldn't come as a surprise if he does.

It's happened before.

It's happened before.

Well then even though JER's gone, that prophecy Corday made of fans pounding the doors of NBC demanding answers is FINALLY going to come true. Because after all this, there's just no believable way. He's not cheating on her with Laura...he's not cheating on her with anyone..she's standing by his side and being a devoted wife...aching for his recover...ACHING for his recovery, I say!! I just don't see it. NO, wait, in the real world, it just would NOT happen!

Easy.

Have Jennifer go off the deep end and check into the looney bin. There is mental illness in her family and having her husband presumed dead 45456632344 times would leave anyone on the edge of a mental breakdown. So it would not be implausible.

My thoughts exactly and that would provide great work for all the actors involved. Days could even bring Laura back for a bit. I don't think it is going to happen though even though I wish it would.
