Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
They also had their wedding turned into a party for Hope and the whole Tripp SL be more about Tripp and Jade. That was basically all of 2016 for them then Ron came along and gave them some meaty stuff to wrap up Joey's departure. Since then Ron split then and reunited them mostly offscreen.
At least they got a wedding. Most couples on this show can’t say the same. Them and Chabby have been the only successful ones in the last few years.

Everyone’s wedding becomes about someone else.
I don’t even know how long they’ve been promising a J&M wedding. I don’t even really care if they have a wedding, but they need to stop teasing the audience about one then dropping it. They’ve apparently done it again.

So, Maggie, Justin and Victor yesterday were not playing Bonnie? Okay then. :rolleyes:
The biggest WTFurie I've seen on this show. No way are these people this stupid. The way JA played his part yesterday was like he was in a trance. (JA was clearly showing what HE thought about this SL) Very very bad SL. If this is Ron's style, I'm not impressed........

I wish they had shown John telling Marlena what he did. I also wish they had shown Sonny taking Ari to see Sami. They could have cut some of that Bonnie/Maggie stuff instead.

Well. This episode sucked hard. This week of episodes so far has sucked hard. Such a great build up last week to three absolutely awful episodes in a row.

Also. WTF? Sami said "Chad." She didn't think he was EJ. WTF was Ali droning on about in SOD?

The episodes just are not setup correctly, they are not having the right charcters overlap with Sami's return. They have made things dull. Why is this Bonnie crap airing the same day as Sami & Marlena? Last week they had such a good combination of overlapping storyline. There was the charcters effected from the fallout if the wedding and then family members such as Kate, Roman, Marlena & John discussing it. This week we have not have Marlena & John share a scene. John appeared with Sami for 2 seconds and ran away with Paul. Somehow Hope & Rafe are back to their boring stuff, meanwhile the week before Hope & others were questioning Ben in some awesome scenes. Then there was Kate and Clyde overlapping. This week So far there has been no build from charcters to charcters, no crossing of storyline in an effective manner. It all seems so isolated & dull.

I think the worst part about sami's EJ search is that she dragged the kids through it. That's no life for them and probably severely traumatizing
And sends an especially great message to the one who has a living father who loves and misses her. "Sorry, you can't see your dad because we have to look for your siblings' dead dad."
There's no excuse she kept Allie from Lucas for so long. Especially fresh off of Lucas losing Will (when she took off)
I'm not sure this will happen, but I wish Will gets angry at Sami over her keeping Allie from Lucas after his "death."

Well I've never been a fan of Adrienne, or JE, so a double dose of her is really not my thing. JE is just too OTT for me, but at least she can bring the tears, unlike AS. Why has every scene with Sami had her crying, when AS just can't do it? It's painful to watch. Really hope this isn't going to be Sami eating the show again. I put up with Adrienne back in the day because I so loved WK and Justin, but right now it's so ridiculous to watch him and everyone else be clueless about Bonnie. This story is stupid and poorly conceived- not sure what the fallout of it all is going to be, if anything, but can't wait until it's over.

New writer comes on board looks at Days history and comes up with a story centered around Bonnie and Hattie. Whatever

Steve and Kayla had a cute moment though it still frustrates me that the writers have everything with them happen off screen.
It was good to see them with Justin after a long time.

Sweet moment when Marlena and Sami's first see each other.

That's about all I liked.

Maybe somebody had the idea that fans who want to see Marlena would not mind seeing Hattie or that people who were hoping that Justin & Adrienne would reunite might enjoy watching Bonnie run around town sleeping with drunk Lucas & plotting to marry Victor in a revenge plot against Mickey...

I tolerated Hatie & Bonnie back in the day, but I was not hoping or wishing for either to return.
I was hoping to see more of Marlena & for Justin & Adrienne to at least be a pair when they showed up. Frankly I would rather be watching Steve & Kayla or Jennifer in any storyline then watch Hattie or Bonnie have any storyline. Hattie does not = Marlena, Bonnie does not = Adrienne.

The Bonnie stuff was the clear highlight for me. I can certainly understand why this particular stuff wouldn't be somebody's cup of tea, but for me the fantasies and Bonnie eating potato chips at Mickey's grave were better than anything Dena attempted to do in the last year. I LOVE that Ron included some classic Bonnie daydreams during her return. I also like that the walls are starting to close in around her now that Justin has gotten Steve and Kayla involved. I definitely don't think Justin is in the know about Bonnie or he wouldn't have brought Stayla into it.

Speaking of Stayla, I kind of wish they had showed the scene of the cleaning lady walking in on Steve and Kayla having sex. I think it would have been funny and cute. I think the Joey stuff they were trying to sell today was a little bit OTT. It's not like we ever saw any kind of relationship between Joey and Will. And I continue to forget that Tripp exists. I'm happy Ron has thrown S&K into the Adrienne/Bonnie mess because right now they're "problems" bore me.

Sami was underwhelming again today. Everybody keeps talking about how she's "hell on wheels" and stuff like that, but she hasn't even done anything remotely daring in the past few episodes. I guess kissing Chad could be considered an impulsive Sami-like thing, but I'm going to find it a difficult pill to swallow if the explanation involves Sami thinking Chad was EJ, especially since Sami clearly knew who he was before planting that kiss on him.

Hattie and Andre were clearly filler today, and I'm still bothered by who they're trying to make Andre. It just. Does. Not. Work for me. You can't have a character with history like Andre's suddenly decide that they're a good person and be someone else entirely. The audience does not forget.

The show was not great. Bonnie's dreams were so funny. But they need to end this soon please. Justin how can this guy be a lawyer, he is so stupid. The ideas he came up with. :rolleyes:
At least Steve and Kayla have a brain.
Sami/Chad kiss :shrug: just came out of no where
I don't see how Justin's ideas were any more outrageous than the actual ridiculous truth. He's working with the knowledge that he has available, and he's correct that Hattie is connected somehow.

As tedious as this story has gotten for me, I am looking forward to the next two weeks as they all finally figure it out and it ends! And I love that Justin, Steve, and Kayla are working together.

Oh! I had forgotten something I did want to mention. I HATED the talk about Adrienne from Marlena and Sami. I didn't like how Marlena defended Adrienne and kind of admonished Sami, and I didn't like how Sami was immediately ready to jump into action RIGHT THAT VERY SECOND. The whole time they were talking about it (with Marlena mentioning the cancer) I was just thinking WHY are we talking about this. Will might be alive, but they're talking about Adrienne. Absolutely ridiculous.

And another thing (this is what happens when I hate it so much that I just can't even talk about it right after....sorry). I thought Sami was more herself today than she was Monday/Tuesday. She hasn't been Hurricane Sami, though, or any of the other things they've called her.

When did Jo last appear? I remember both versions but can’t remember how long ago she was on the show.
Marilyn was last on 9/21/06.

I totally agree that Sami was more herself today than she was last night. I think Sami just has alot going on right now mentally (Will maybe being alive, worrying about Lucas) so shes not sure exactly how to be. At least thats how I see it.

It was good to see Brady was out of the living room. Hopefully he was visiting that kid Tater.
Other than Maggie's fugly figurines, there's nothing else glass in the room for him to throw or shatter. Maybe he can hang out with JJ and he can show him how to throw a chair through a store window at the HTS.

This is what I hate about the Bonnie storyline. Justin and Maggie buying that Victor is in love with Adrienne even though when he announced their upcoming marriage he looked like he was getting ready for a root canal. I was so hoping Justin, Vic and Maggie were working together to expose Bonnie ... sigh. One thing about the Bonnie storyline they got right were Bonnie's over the top fantasies about Maggie today. Bonnie always did have OTT fantasies before that were always a source of good entertainment. I'm glad that more and more people are really beginning to question Adrienne's behavior.

I felt bad for Adrienne today when once again Hattie refused to help her.

The Sami / Marlena scenes ... well if most of them weren't spent with Sami boo-hooing over her dead rapist hubby then I might have enjoyed them more. However I think Marlena should have let Sami loose on 'Adrienne' ... maybe Bonnie would have revealed herself during the fracas.

What the heck was Kayla wearing today ... I liked the yellow but that print was horrific!

I just don't care about Chad or Andre so their conversation today was boring. Now why did Sami lay that kiss on Chad!
