I think Tuesday and Friday were both INCREDIBLY sexist. But I think that's such a hard line on soaps. All in all, I'm not bothered my some macho-ness. I have no issue with the men protecting their wives and children. But there was just something about the way they handled those things on both those days that just really bothered me.

Beyond that, while I don't mind the men protecting the women or whatever, I do wish they'd let the women be more successful at protecting their men. They did it with Marlena in the winter, so it's not out of the realm of possibility, but even when they did it, they didn't really focus on it. I'd like a woman to take out at least one of the villains. And I'd like them to do it legitimately. Not like Hope did with Stefano.

Also. The Cullitons wrote both of the sexist episodes. Just interesting to note. IDK if it's really a script issue.

This continuing mention of Daniel is payback from the writers for our hatred of him. I now firmly believe that.
Yep. I totally see a Daniel eggbaby coming for more payback.

Nice....Chloe and Philip remembering the past.

I wonder if they may go with them as a couple when Chloe comes back and if Philip is recast.
I know JPL is out, but I've enjoyed him with Nadia.

I love how the show completely forgot about Rex and Cassie :roflol: Do RoJosh and Kate even remember they share kids together?
IDK if this is still true, but at one point they weren't allowed to mention them.
I thought Kate dropped their names not too long ago? I don't remember when and I might be mistaken, but I thought she did.

That episode was just okay for me.

I enjoyed Philip/Chloe and Justin/Eve the most.

I strongly disliked Deimos today, forcing a procedure on Chloe and then giving orders to Nicole. I liked him for a minute but now I find him really annoying.

The writing for Kate improved a lot with Quan/Higley.

Is there some kind of law saying the actors playing Kiriakises have to pronounce the name like they are Greek? Kiri-a-keez?
I believe I read somewhere that John Aniston told Wally back in the day that was how it's pronounced in Greece. I guess others have caught on, don't know.
LOL I wish they'd stop. VI said it that way too.
I like the way both John and Wally say it. VI tries too hard.

Hate seeing Justin playing that a-hole Demios' lackey. Grrrr.... I simply hate this whole baby crap story. It needs to end. And please send Demios off too and he can take Nicole with him too. So over these two.

Loved the Justin/Eve scenes. I just wish we could have gotten more scenes between them. I knew they mention the Adrienne thing in two scenes and be done. Hell stupid Kate and Andre talked more about Adrienne than Justin/Eve. Grrrr.... Agree with Eve-Adrienne is a fool picking another man over Justin. Yes, I know Justin made mistakes, but it wasn't all his doing, Adrienne made tons too. I just wish this story got more focus like the others do. So sick of there being no follow up until like a month later such BS. Anyway, I truly want lots more Justin/Eve. So much promise there. :( Wally and Kassie just sparkle together.

I thought so too but can't zero in specifically the scene or when. I don't see the issue with not mentioning them. That happens for lots of characters. It was stupid the way they were introduced and all the parentage story but it is what it is just like all the other storylines. Once you see it on screen it becomes part of the history of the show. The two were part of the fabric of the storytelling for a few years. Plus they fit an age group that DAYS desperately needs right now so why not use them?

I liked Theresa showing concern for Joey. It was something she mentioned in a few scenes. It's always nice when the show recognizes she is a Brady.

I think she did, and I think that's how I found out that another writing team had been told to never mention them. There are many things like that that they sometimes get told to pretend never happened.

They saved the weakest episode of the week for Friday.

Andre is a non-starter for me. I like Thaao, I do, but no one in Salem should be willing to associate with Andre. He's played out.

Theresa is a non-starter for me. She should never have been rewarded for her antics with Brady, a baby, and a company.

I have no interest in watching Rex Balsom reminisce about the Last Blast. You weren't there, Rex. You were in Llanview running petty cons.

I don't get why Chloe needs to hide the baby's paternity, nor do I care to, because I don't care about Deimos. He's been on the show for five minutes.

I definitely didn't need more references to Daniel. At all. Ever. If Nicole wants to honor Daniel's memory, maybe she should just let the villains kill her. Because that's what Daniel did. He (metaphorically) killed things I loved, so I'm sure he'd appreciate the tribute.

The tiny bright spots for me: Brady/Nicole know each other, Billie got name dropped, and Eve was there. (Feel better soon, Kassie!)
I didn't know Billie was mentioned today, I think I'll watch just for that (and KDP) lol.
Since Billie obviously knew all kinds of details Kate didn't tell her or want worrying her, I'm choosing to believe that Billie and Lucas have sweet and hilarious conversations offscreen and he's the one who told her everything.

I think I like today's episode more than any other's this week. I much more interested in Brady and Nicole in story together than Nicole with Deimos. I hope that's the direction they go.
I like Brady and Nicole as friends only.
If we can't have GV back I'd take Bricole. But I'd rather have Ericole. Anyday of the week. Everyday of the week.
I'm severely ambivalent.

Nicole is my favorite for Brady.

Eric is my favorite for Nicole.

I would never, ever want Brady and Eric romantically pitted against each other under any circumstances. I basically swoon every time Brady does his "brother, brother, brother," thing with Eric... even though the rest of the time I'm merrily mocking Brady for being a damn moron.

So rooting for Bricole, which I very much like and which could save Brady's character from pernicious idiocy, is also rooting for GV's Eric to be gone forever, which is unacceptable.

Soap fandom is complicated.

They're really hammering in how safe the Kiriakis mansion is. It better get blown to smithereens. Except there's no way that's happening.

If nothing else I wish they would get rid of that ugly sofa.

I don't like Theresa and I don't care about her being a designer, but her giving up this easily doesn't ring true at all.

ICAM! After all the bitching and whining about starting a business for herself.Now she wants to just toss it away? Not buying it.

I hope they bring JKJ back as Philip and make Parker his son.

I dream the impossible dream :wub:

Although I would also take stepson, as long as he considers Philip his True Father the way Mike did with Mickey.

Chloe has always been my favorite for Brady

Nicole has always been my favorite for Eric

Stephanie (sometimes Chloe) has always been my favorite for Philip.

I do miss the Eric and Brady scenes, it's a shame we never got all the Brady/Black kids together in one scene.
