I don't think he'll just be back one day. I think he'll be back next week, lol. And I'm going to go out on a limb and say that his actual exit will be disappointing, too...but probably more because it will be oddly thrown together because of Drake's sudden exit.

Good show for the most part.

Highlight for me was the Justin/Adrienne scenes. Enjoyed their talk and their sparring. They good with the romance stuff, but I find them even more enjoyable when they are sparring. The passion is always there between those two whether it's romance or fighting. Wally and Judi are so good with that stuff. There was few times I wanted to slap Adrienne for being so ungrateful for Justin being concerned about her. Yes, Justin messed up, but she was no innocent victim in all of that crap either. They BOTH messed up! But I will take these scenes any day- they felt like the real Justin and Adrienne that I fell in love with so many years ago. I want more of these two like today.

I wanted Justin to grab her and tell her that he LOVES her and kiss her passionately!

I agree with Justin about her and Lucas. Why the damn rush?! Today just showed what a complete joke Adrienne and Lucas really are as a couple. They are pathetic and just not interesting. Adrienne comes to life when she's around Justin.

I got a partial shirtless Justin- that made me happy. :)

Loved seeing Adrienne/Kayla interacting. Love those two. Need more of those two.

I could go for some Justin/Steve scenes too.

Speaking of Steve- loved his scenes with John and Orpheus. That was fun to watch. Reminded me of the good old days when John was Roman back in the late eighties and him and Steve working together. Fun times. Drake will always be Roman to me. Steve and John are better than the idiotic cops Salem has lol. Steve and John make a great team.

Loved Orpheus in the room with the Devil herself, Marlena. For him to describe how he saw her was perfect and definitely how I feel and see her. It was awesome. She is the Devil. Good stuff there. The actor that plays Orpheus is so good. He was the best one in those scenes. I hope he comes back and finish the job in getting rid of her. I just want him to make her suffer for a long time.

The rest of the show bored me. I didn't care one bit about Anne/Lucas- both characters that I find to be useless. And sorry to say, I didn't care what happened to JJ and all that drama.

I did enjoy Jennifer in her scene with Justin/Adrienne.


If Marlena's the devil, I'll take a ticket to hell, no problem.

Orpheus is the best villian on the show. I hope they keep him. He's better than Andre or Deimos.
Orpheus is better than Deimos and Andre combined.


And FWIW - I don't think that's the scene when Drake got hurt. He comes in with the right side of his body leading - in MBE's pic, the bruising is on the left side of his head.

I really enjoyed the dynamic with Lucas and Anne. Hope they pursue this. Both are good actors Both have a comedic side to them. Would be good to see Anne progress as a character. I could see her initially doing some scheming to get him. They also have the dynamic of Jennifer and others disliking Anne which provides story also. Looks like they picked back up on Lucas having a job and doing some work.

They would be smart to start using Lucas more, IMO.

Why can't Gabi go back to Dimera mansion and take care of Ari and let Lucas go to see his nephew and be there for his sister?
Gabi had the right to be there for JJ. It sounds like Lucas will be there for Jennifer next week.

Ditto. I'll gladly take one. It's October though, so it might be booked. :'( :P We can give her our souls for her birthday imo.

Anne & Lucas are so adorable! It was interesting to see how well they interacted together.
I thought they were great together. Days used to have comedic characters. I hope Lucas and Anne are the new funny peeps in Salem. Days could certainly use some humor...

I wonder if that's the scene Drake got injured? :blink:
Just catching up on this week's episodes.

That should be the May 5 injury most likely. They were taping right around 10/17-10/18-10/19 on May 5 and May 6.

Week of 5/2/16-5/6/16 # 12937-12944 (airing 10/10/16-10/19/16)

I wondered that too when I read he burst through the door but I didn't see anything that made it seem like it when watching.
I had the same thought when I read it but the door flew open in the scene. It played like he was just rushing into the room.
Supposedly he may have taped another week or so after the injury, so this was probably a second take, since the door didn't open correctly the first take.

What stunt did they do that required Terry James to be on set this week? If he is not listed next week, then it will have to be this week when Drake got hurt.
The magazine has spoilers for John for the following week too.
This was the time frame of the May 5 injury (when these episodes should have been taped). Obviously, it seems he was able to continue taping for a little while after his injury. If he was injured immediately when breaking down the police door, then they wouldn't have had been able to have him tape the aftermath of that scene when he is with Marlena. I've yet to see Thursday or Friday's episodes, is he in either of those??

You're right they had stuff after he came through the door. And it seems they're on next week and the week after so if it happened in Wednesday's ep he definitely worked after.

When Jen said to Adrienne and Justin that i dont want to lose JJ after losing Abigail and Jack. I feel bad for her.
"All I have is JJ. He is my future. So if I lose JJ, after losing Jack and Abigail, I'm done. I don't know how to go on from there."

I cannot lie, didn't hate Lucas/Anne. There's not much to Anne so far but it could be something fun in the future. This show does need something light, I miss that. Although you'd think that Anne would have more of an in with Theresa than Chad? The part about Anne's mom was a little forced too, but nothing's perfect and that's never more true than with Dena. I did appreciate that Bryan didn't overdo the set-up.

Kayla and Adrienne together were really sweet, I always thought they made the most sense as each other's confidants right now. I don't always agree when the background music tells me it's a Moment, but I was into their hug. I still wish John and Steve's dynamic had a little more character though. Marlena was very enjoyable with JJ and Orpheus. Adrienne and Justin were genuinely compelling imo, but like with a lot of scenes I enjoy, they don't seem to plug in to a story with any momentum (yet).

Out of curiosity, would Kayla be allowed to operate on her nephew in real life? I know it doesn't make a difference on DAYS. Loved Jennifer with her baby boy.

Camila Banus' choices are not really awful but she could stand to be more natural. There were a few times in this episode where she paused in the middle of phrases in a way that could only sound like a delivered line rather than natural speech. Also it can be hard to cry on cue, maybe she could play it more like trying to hold herself back rather than doing the scrunchy wail thing.

This episode wasn't bad, but I have a major problem with how JJ being shot played out. We never saw the paramedics arrive and take JJ. Then the next thing we know, he's at the hospital. They didn't show him being wheeled in nor did they show Kayla operating on him. They played this with as little drama as possible. Also, they did not show Jennifer finding out onscreen. That should have been a big deal. It reminds me of last year when Abigail was rescued from Ben and had her baby, and we never saw the Abigail & Jennifer reunite for the first time onscreen. This story (JJ) did not get the airtime it should have IMO. I felt like the Lucas & Anne nonsense ate up too much time, as did Justin & Adrienne's conversation. I like Justin & Adrienne, but I felt like that scene of them talking went on for 5 minutes. I know they barely get airtime, but I felt like this was the wrong episode for their scenes with JJ being shot and the drama going on with Orpheus, Steve, John, and Marlena.

I liked Jennifer talking about how JJ wasn't supposed to make it when she was pregnant and how happy Jack was that he had a son. I just wanted to see more of this.

Oh Chad, you don't need to lurk at the door and eavesdrop when Gabi is having a moment with her shot boyfriend. One in the room at a time.

I know most of us are sick of Hope, but she should have been with Jennifer at the hospital.

I'm still not TOTALLY buying that orpheus is dead. That weird cop that bumped into Steve looked a bit like that "Lazlo" guy. At least that's what I thought when I saw it a couple days ago.

I feel like they are losing something writing Orpheus out and out.

It was the last interesting episode of the week. I enjoyed Marlena playing Doctor. And I like JJ when he isn't all in Chad's face. He's a good actor.

Anne and Lucas were actually not bad. I enjoy Anne. And Lucas is an all-time fav, and we've always known Adrienne and Justin would eventually get back together. They need some light-heartedness.

Thank you JCP.

I too think there was something off with that cop. I think he slipped that stuff in Marlena's bag for O. to take to make it look like he took something fatal. He is also the cop that left O. with Marlena. There is no way a real cop would have let her alone with O.
