Today was good for some characters, painful for others.

Rosebud said it first, but will second it......remember Don Jr. Days? Yeah, the sids story line that put Deidre on the map shouldn't be forgotten. Marlena has had tons of losses in her life, but Hope is the only one who can understand. Uggh I am hating Sami being back.

I'll skip MOST of the tripe....but can Lucas stop being a drunk so I can stand Bryan again?..STAT! He talks so nasal and he's not even believable. It's like a hyper annoying character, with a slight Alabama drawl. It's grating me.

Victor deserves the award for the character that won the episode. Spitting on the grave after all that trouble...that's Victor.

I know we are on a low budget here and I want to love Memphis, so I'll give it a week or two.

It's not as bad as Dena. I know we aren't shouting for joy right now, but it's not that bad. The pacing is going to be a real eyesore if we don't get some very good breakdown writers, and from what I know, that ain't happening.

And welcome back Eve. I missed you, and dread this being about Deimos.
It’s not as bad as Dena, but it’s just a different kind of Dena.

ITA about Lucas. Don’t drunks have any down time?

Brady tells Victor about Nicole and he says bravo to the blackmail
Victor is an ass! He's the reason Brady is so screwed up! Isabella is probably spinning in her grave because of her father and son's behavior. They both make me sick. This is not the son of a
John Black and it's proof of what being a Kiriakis can do to you.

Yes, it's not Dena unbearable but it's not good. Nothing about this week episodes and the November sweeps spoilers make me want to continue to tune in.

Ho-hum episode for me.

So, I'm guessing the only reason they extended the Adrienne prison stint for an extra episode is because they needed a set for her and Sonny to have a conversation that wasn't already in use. Paul and John had HTS; Lucas had the hotel room; and Brady, Eric, and Victor had K-Mansion.

Speaking of sets, I'm not looking forward to "Memphis" largely being comprised of re-dressed sets -- starting with the farmhouse today. I try to be understanding about this stuff because of the budget, but it's becoming very distracting for me.

Are they going somewhere with all of these Zack mentions? Two episodes is a row....

What was up with the Eric/Brady fight scenes? The punches were badly choreographed (i.e. Eric fell down after Brady's "punch" missed his face by a mile), and then they edited in some weird slo-mo moments. Just odd.

I'm not excited about this Eve/Deimos thing at all. I have no idea why they thought it would be a good idea to resurrect that character in any form.

Ron must be annoyed writing for this cast. He gives our biggest star (Deidre) a dual role storyline and she completely fumbles it. He gives Bryan Dattilo something of substance for the first time in a decade or more and all he does is show why the last 8 regimes were right for not writing for him. Dude can't act. And he's been in the game since 1993. Sad. Then there's Ali Sweeney, who sucks as much now as she ever has. Ron would never admit it but you know in his private thoughts he's like"Jesus, these people suck. I can't write ANYTHING for them!"

Thankfully Judi Evans knocked it out of the park as Bonnie but now that's over now, so...

I thought Hatti was adorable.
I think BD is doing a great job as Lucas and it's too early to dismiss Sami.

I think the acting deficits have become more pronounced now that the writing has marginally improved. Some of it could definitely be mitigated with more than one take and more prep time, but that's never gonna happen. Overall, I really miss the 50th cast (August-November).

I liked Hattie; Bonnie wore thin, and BD has been great.

I know MBE and SN have talked about making sure they rehearse together all the time. I don't know who else works this way but sounds like its up to the actors to make the time to rehearse with each other.

I think most others do the same, but it's not like the prep and rehearsal soaps used to get.

Victor disgusted me today when he praised Brady for the way he blackmailed Nicole into leaving town. And then for him to suggest that Brady turn Nicole in as she should have to pay the consequences for her actions. Well Vic, shut up, when the heck have you ever paid the consequences for all the crimes you've committed. I don't know why Nicole ran. She was drugged, she was provoked ... it may not have been self-defence but it was in defence of her daughter ... she'd get manslaughter at the most and probably more community service or a slap on the wrist in the least.

The Sami / Hope confrontation lacked intensity. Sami stuck to her guns and Hope waivered ... not a good sign in a Commissioner.

Lucas being a loud, belligerent, angry drunk is getting old. He needs to shut the hell up and listen to someone when they're trying to talk to him. It seems like Lucas is drunk ever waking hour, how is that even possible ... doesn't he ever suffer a hangover.

All through the Sonny conversation when Sonny was telling his Mom he knew she'd know what to say to him, how to comfort him etc ... all I could was well then why didn't you do more to find out what the heck was wrong with your 'mother' when Bonnie was pretending to be Adrienne.

That was quite the fight between Eric and Brady. Now Eric is going to pray for Brady ... really. I do agree however that he does have to put what Nicole did and said behind him and not try and find the why ... he needs to move on and that's the only way he's going to be able to do just that. I liked the Eric and Jen scenes.

So the group of Will chasers landed at the farmhouse, I mean Memphis. Looking forward to what happens next!

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I thought Hatti was adorable.

I liked Hattie; Bonnie wore thin, and BD has been great.
Hattie had a couple of weak days at the beginning, but I think Deidre ended up doing really well. I think Judi is terrible in both roles, and I hope Bonnie never resurfaces. That story really fell apart, though, so while I think Judi sucks, I don’t even blame her. They clearly had no plan there. I don’t think Bryan has been as good as some think, but mostly I think the problem with him is that it’s been overkill. I think the cast is weak but those listed are pretty far from my issues there.

that's a good point that you and Lysie bring up that the drunk thing for Lucas has gone on too long or at least they need to show him sober sometimes.

Also I think many of us thought when Sami came to town she would have been able to get him to stop drinking or at least start to try so far no change in his behavior and intentions and that leaves us I think feeling like we're in a dead end.

I am convinced that there are factors outside acting & writing that are hurting Days. They seem to get new talent from time to time & even then they squander it. KD is a good actress, but I cannot honestly say Eve is success or she is at the level I think KD is capable as an actress. VI as Deimos was such a dissapointment. A Martinez another dissapointment. The show did nothing of value when Sarah Brown or Tamara Braown came on board. I am fearful that Tyler Christopher will just end up another really good actor who became drab. They cannot seem to inspire or motivated storyline up. I really think it's because the producing, directing, editing and set designing are so ingrained in what they do that they have taken the show down, it's become a factory and not a creative vehicle. It's about pushing episodes out fast and cheaply and it doesn't seem that anything can or does shake that mentality. So until their is a shift in that area I fear the show will never rise up.

I wonder whose idea is to use real birthdates of the actors on grave stones. They made Deimos 1 year younger than VI but used his birthdate. It's so creepy IMO.
