I want to give your comments on Eric/Nicole a bajillion thumbs up. They were going somewhere with JenEric and ditched it for this? I'll prolly rant about it forever. I would have been perfectly happy with her leaving when she was supposed to. She killed Deimos and nothing. I read a speculation that Bonnie will find out and that's what she holds over Victor's head or something along those lines so if all this disaster was to further this Bonnie story line, I'm going to be pissed. Because I've yet to see how this is a Justin/Adrienne story. |

This is what I'm saying. I mean...I kind of doubt it, but at this point we really have no idea how she's going to leave, and this all may have a very specific point. She could even leave with a solid return plan down the road. It may be pointless, but it may not be, and since we haven't seen how Ron handles these kinds of things at Days yet, we really just don't know. |

I'm hoping that their tearing down of Brady is going to be done so that he can have a redemption storyline and move AWAY from his Kiriakis side and back to his Black side with Jarlena. I mean seriously, how long did Isabella even spend with Victor and Bo? And Brady never spent any time with any other Kiriakis's. Not even Bo, his uncle who Isabella was close to. |

What a boring episode today. Chad and Abby are boring and I am tired or watching them do nothing but smooch all the time. Brady is being an idiot. Eric is always being so broody. I could care less who is commissioner. |

So I'm still totally all about ushering Nicole out of Salem. However, it does make me kind of sad that we finally found a writer, who took the logical step to make Abe a father figure to Nicole. I'm really enjoying these Abe/Nicole scenes and I hope they continue until Nicole leaves.

They could have went the further mile and just made Nicole Abe's daughter also, because Abe and Faye were sleeping together around the time of her birth. |

Chad and Abby talking about waiting until after the wedding to sleep together. Does Chad even think about how Abby feels to sleep in the same bed that he used when he and Gabi were together? I am sure that is why she is hesitating but will not be honest enough with him to spell it out. They just talk around the subject instead of actually telling him how she feels. |

So Abby signed her annulment papers and Justin is going to e-file theM to the court. He said now it is official. But if Dario never signs or files his, is it really annulled? |

This was rough. I can appreciate the idea behind the Rope stuff. But it's Rope. Hope came out looking better, though, so that's nice. It just wasn't as cute as it should have been which in turn made it annoying. Chabby are just dreadful. I'm running out of words for how bad they are. Gabi and Eli are a little better, but I have no interest in them as a pair at all. The Brady/Nicole/Eric/Chloe stuff was good today. Brady is the worst, but I like that he's conflicted. And I felt like he seemed surprised that Eric had gone through with it when he initially thought she'd been fired. I think it's funny that Chloe and Eric are just blabbing all to each other. I know it bothered some people yesterday that Eric and Nicole both referenced the other not having feelings for each other when they obviously both do. But I kind of like that. I like that they both seem to think the heat is all one-sided. It's very 90s J&M. |

I don't have a problem with Brady being jealous since his jealousy is actually justified based on the behavior of Eric and Nicole. |

Their behavior justifies it now but it didn't before. He's kind of created this mess himself. |

This episode was rather dull. In fact, outside of Monday, this whole week has been slow. Like lysie, I actually liked the idea behind many of the Rope scenes. Characters advocating for a woman commish? Yay. Hope actually acknowledging she committed a crime? Double yay. Characters allowed to have complex feelings about an issue? Triple yay. But...I still hate Hope and Rafe together. I guess it just shows that decent writing isn't enough to fix these two; they just need to cut their losses. I know she's trying, but Sal is still so stiff in her line readings. There's been a lot of mediocre acting lately, but she still sticks out...in a bad way. Beyond being boring, Chad and Abby were extra frustrating today. For two seconds, they acknowledged their shortcomings and weirdness surrounding Gabi, but then...poof! Everything was magical again. I do not understand the rush to portray these two as an old married couple. I need a break from the Nicole triangle. Chloe was a little bit of fresh air today, but I think lysie was on to something yesterday about these characters being pretty isolated. I need them to be doing something else besides just being in a state of angst about Nicole and/or Eric. |

First of all, I must have missed the point in time where Abe and Nicole were close? Is this something Ron made up, or am I blanking on it happening? Regardless, I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but it just seems random and kind of forced. Ugh, Lani needs to go away. Sal Stowers can't act her way out of a paper bag. The only time I can tolerate her, and maybe even somewhat like her, is when she's with Eli... but it looks like it's Lani and JJ (yuck) and Gabi and Eli (double yuck) are the gameplan. I'm hoping the writing/storylines each couple get will help offset my hatred of the pairings myself, but it's going to take something really good. Speaking of couples that I still absolutely DETEST.... Rope. I thought they would become more tolerable to me once RC took over, but... nope. And the thing is, he's writing them exactly like I thought he would, so I'm disappointed that my distaste for them still hasn't softened. There are still many times I have to FF them. And NEITHER are qualified to be Commissioner. Hope is a murderer and Rafe covered it up, so..... RC still needs to fix this. I'm still holding out for a DID story for Hope. It won't redeem Rafe, but I don't care about Rafe. The Chabby scenes are OK but I agree the past couple days with them have been boring. I still think RC made the right decision by putting them back together, though. Higley should have never separated them in the first place. As it stands right now, Brady is an ass, Eric is pathetic, and Nicole is an idiot. This triangle is doing none of these characters any favors. Maybe when shit really hits the fan I'll change my mind, but until then... nope. I know what I said won't be popular with Ericole fans, but my problem with this story isn't Ericole. It's the story and the writing. I love Ron, but this story is a clunker. I would say I can't wait until we see Tripp again, but I actually can wait, because the story with Tripp, Claire, and Theo is by far the worst thing on the show currently. We're talking Dena Higley level bad here. I can't believe Ron isn't giving these three better story. Especially Tripp. He's one of the best newcomers DAYS has seen in ages. |

Today's episode was so bad that we only have 5 pages of comments! 1/3 of the them were the play by play, 1/3 talked about how much it sucked, and 1/3 were about a completely different soap! We covered 16 pages on Monday. You guys crack me up!

I remember around the time of the second Brady/Kristen wedding when the daily threads would go up to 30 or 40 pages. I think Ron will have some big stuff coming up that will hopefully get people talking again! |

I remember 40-page daily threads around the time of Will's death, too. I kind of miss those; it was fun to have so many perspectives. |

Can't decide if Brady is a douche or just the nozzle. |
