I like Olivia and Lucas but agreed. Claire and Tripp are doing absolutely nothing for me and I really want to love these characters. I do. But zzzzz. Chad and Abby could easily be written out tomorrow and the canvas wouldn't be affected in anyway honestly. Send them on an extended honeymoon. Zzzzzz. Marci needs some pep in her delivery. I really think she can but she plays it like Abby is zonked out most of the time. |

Without reading everyone else comments 1st. It's pretty telling that the scene with Brady, Victor, Eve were much better than anything else the show had to offer. Elvis, Paul, Sonny, John, Marlena, and dear Samantha Gene....What a joke!!! Chabby as usual boring and flat without Ben driving the story. I will honestly miss Theo.... Claire NEVER!!!! Tripp I like him, but give him story with someone who doesn't act like a twelve year old PLEASE. |

Okay, I can talk about it now lol. For whatever reason, these days I need a break before discussing. Memphis. It was okay. Sami was a moron. I do think that overall she was in character, but it didn't work very well in this context for some reason. John's reactions were funny, and I'm glad Marlena got to get in some scolding later. Marlena sweet talking Elvis was okay (mostly for John and Sami's expressions). IDK why Paul is even sticking around. Sonny doesn't seem to know he's there. Kate/Theo...just ugh. I really hate DE, and couldn't care less about Kate's issues with it. Kyler was bored. Chabby. Same as always. Claire/Tripp. Weird and boring. Not sure the point. Theo was a douchebag. Eve/Deimos/Victor/Brady. I HATE this. Eve against the Kiriaki is not a thing. It might have worked if it had been on Theresa's behalf or something, but this is just stupid. I really don't ever want to look at Deimos' face again. |

Sami/AS ruined this episode for me. The way Sami was acting like the Elvis guy was the intruder not the rest of them was just weird. Everything she does is obnoxious. She’s forty years old and still needs her mom to tell her to calm down. Ugh, she’s just awful. She makes me not want Will to be alive even more than I already didn’t want him back. I had been just kind of accepting it and planning on going with it, but now I’m dreading it. I hope the Theo/Claire/Tripp story isn’t as predictable as the set up is making it seem. I don’t care one bit about Kate and her DE problem. :yawnz: I couldn’t stop my eyes rolling during the Eve thing. Didn’t her history have enough story that it didn’t need to have this Deimos retcon nonsense? The whole thing was ridiculous. The only entertaining part was Elvis shoving Sonny and knocking him out. I don’t care if Elvis is part of some conspiracy to hide Will or whoever it is, I felt more sympathy for him having a bunch of people enter his house illegally. Those scenes were full of wtf moments, but they made me laugh because they were so stupid. Like the gun thing. So Paul is a gun expert who can instantly tell if a gun is fake? LOL! And the badly executed candy bowl drop. Oh, and during the part where the cop, Sami, and Elvis are arguing the rest of them are just standing together right behind them pretending there’s nothing going on over there. I suppose they’re all looking at Sonny? LOL I also got a kick out of Sami calling the police and knowing the address off the top of her head. Btw that cop was out acting Sweeney like crazy. |

I watched......sort of.......enough. Yes I recorded it but that's simply easier to do till Wednesday. I want to know how Susan works in and I'll start watching live again then. Tripp/Claire: Umm.......I FF'd through them, and I don't regret it. I think the actors are talented, but they don't grab me as a couple. Eve/Deimos/Victor/Brady: Give me a fucking break. I am supposed to buy this because it creates a plot. I don't buy it, and anyone watching knows this is a total plot device that is flimsy. I can take camp, but not flimsy writing. The acting was fine, but this is just out of left field. Memphis: Speaking of camp, this story has it in spades. The thing is, I think camp is a part of what makes Days work, so I welcome a little here and there. Sami is in character again, but that isn't making me hail this return as the second coming. I like her better like this, but in tiny doses. The rest of the characters are great. The story isn't really clear yet so I can make no call on the story...I can just say this was the strongest part of the show. Chabby: I'd rather watch pain dry. They are in FF territory. Kate/Theo: Strange and awkward. Kate has to have something to do, so let's do a business storyline with 0 investment and no real point. I like Ron, but doing a retcon that makes a character married that died single in July just doesn't work on any show. He's got to try to make these stories more than a plot point to fill time. Eve could have come back and done anything. I do think he envisions Eve as Blair from OLTL. I give it a C |

I enjoyed the Elvis scenes and thought they were rather good and I can understand Sami's frustration that her son may be alive and she is being forced to deal with situations that are not delivering answers (as we all feel really). I liked the Elvis character and I liked the ending when they hinted at Susan's presence. Good anticipation. But fail on Sonny getting hurt. We know this lands him in the hospital and though they said, 'he needs a hospital' there was no real urgency when the cop showed up and who was the guy who played the cop, he was terrible. I agree Lysie is right that Paul just doesn't seem to fit in these scenes right now and it's obvious to those of us who have figured out that Paul finds Will first before Sonny and has scenes with Will before Sonny sees him that's why he's there. It would have been better if some how Paul thought Sonny was in danger and went to find him and stumbled on Will. Just sayin. I was happy to see Eve again and thought she delivered the s/l about Eve and Demios perfectly but the story should have had Victor remembering the time too and subtle clues making a tie to what Eve was saying to give the s/l a more antithetic feel because it's important with it coming out of nowhere. I liked Demios and was happy to see him again too. I think Tripp is great; he's a good actor with such great potential. I hope the show recognizes that and does something with him even if the Claire s/l with him does not deliver. |

Claire acts like a seven year old really. It would be ok if she were really that innocent but then the sexual innuendo to boot just makes me uncomfortable. |

I only got a chance to watch Memphis and will watch the rest in the AM but I did find them entertaining even with sami’s theatrics. John had some great reactions and you could tell he was thinking this is not the crew I’d pick for this kind of job lol. I also love he never dismisses Marlena’s ideas. You could totally tell that was Susan watching at the end too. I can’t wait to see her. Oh and idk why they didn’t just insist on Sami coming with them to the hospital. She wasn’t being held at that point. |

Everyone standing around talking about whether Will is alive. How boring. There's so little intriguing in this story. I hate Eve and her accent. Ron actually watched Denas show and thought bringing back Deimos is a good idea. I don't get it. Kate doing business in the Dimera living room is so tired This show is a campy bore. |

But they didn’t stand around and talk about whether or not Will was alive today. This makes no sense but I wonder about Deimos...both the show and Ron avoided promoting him. |

I havent read through the thread but I do have a few observations. Days has gotten really campy. I know Ron C likes to do camp so I guess if thats your cup of tea, then great. I dont mind it, but would like a little more depth. Im glad Eve is back but she seems a bit cartoonish. Again with the camp factor. I dont mind her being a scheming bitch again but she just seems too over the top right now. Poor Tripp needs some friends. I felt bad for him staying home all alone. I like Chad and Abigail and glad we have a happy couple right now. |

I'm very happy to admit that I was wrong about us getting duplicate scenes from Friday's cliffhangers for today -surprised we didn't after the past two weeks but still glad to be wrong. Memphis was silly. That Elvis guy could have shot them all for trespassing and he'd be legally protected. Poor Sonny. Ron C is apparently keeping Dena's characterization him as being weak. :shame: At this point, I just wish they'd cut to the chase already and show us Will. The past two weeks has drained all the momentum out of the story. How is it that I can like everyone involved in a story and hate the story itself? See Victor/Brady/Eve and then Theo/Claire/Tripp for evidence. It was rude of Theo not to invite Tripp to the party. We know Claire wanted to. She should have said to hell with Theo's jealousy and invited him herself. Speaking of Claire. I really dug her Halloween costume. It was quite sexy. Bad kitty! :tounge: Edited by seanny, Oct 30 2017, 11:36 PM.

Ah that's who she was... I knew it didn't feel like it was the same Eve that I last remember seeing on Days. |

I think the recent Chabby obstacles sucked primarily because of the writing whereas the current Chabby happy fluff sucks because the actor chemistry can't lift it above its filler status (and it feels unearned). The sad part is I don't care if Ron can fix them or not, not with this version. KDP and VI had some good chemistry, but I'm still glad Deimos is gone. It's hard to gear up for her return too because I don't care about Brady in himself or the Kiriakises as a clan. Hope should never have let Sami go. |

I enjoyed seeing John Enos. I didn't know he was going to be playing Elvis. He and Ron live in NY so it made me wonder if they know each other personally. The rest of the episode was just meh for me. |

I admit I recently starting watching the show again because of Ron and well b/c Dena's crap writing kept me away but when did Billy Flynn get so horrible? Why does he stutter and repeat his lines... Bleh.. |
