I agree, Mason. Martha and Jason Cook never appealed to me as a couple. It seemed like a relationship where the woman was much older than the man. Martha seemed so much more mature than Jason. |

I do think Storms/Cook had more chemistry but their portrayer's sucked in the acting department so I am pleased they are gone and now have two capable actors in the roles. Martha and Jason was disgusting. I could never buy it. Huge mismatch, just like Storms/Brandt. Martha and Kyle were great together, which is funny because Martha has had chemistry with both Philips. Martha is great and Brandon is pretty good. Not the best but he can at least act. I do think that both Kirsten and Martha have good chemistry with JKJ's Philip. On to today... Loved the Hope and Marlena scenes and I actually could understand the motivation for what side they each were on. Marlena has always treated Sami unfairly so I agree with Drew. Yes, Sami has done some nasty things but the affair started all this. It's not the an excuse because Sami has been terrible but Carrie and Belle always got away with almost everything they did while Sami was never given any leeway. Yes, I know that Sami was a bitch up until recently but if her parents showed a little less favoritism she would've been better. I like that though because it shows all these characters have flaws. That is why I like this Belle story because it is showing the saintly Belle as someone who is not perfect. Good stuff and I love how Dee is playing Marlena. She seems so different...almost distant. It's like a half of her is gone and that is how it should be. Loved when Bo came in at the end and questioned Marlena. Bo and Stefano's scenes were great. Loved how they, and Sami, pieced together the identity of the Lady in Black. Loved the Sami/EJ scenes and EJ/Stefano scenes too. Nice Shelle bonding scenes as well. Good all around show. I like how we have vets tied into the action now with actual purpose. The show just keeps getting better and better IMO and I am glad to see more people giving it a chance and watching it again. |

I loved today's show. It had everything. I'm not a Shell fan though. I almost nod off everytime they are on and I just think MM is the most anti-chemistry gal on this show. She does have a bit of a spark with Jay and therefore I can enjoy their scenes a bit. But put MM and BB in a scene and it's snoozetime. I should have felt all soft and sentimental with the newlyweds and their sweet chit chat but I was bored. But the scenes were not bad, just the actors were, as always bland. I love, love, loved revitalized EJ and incredulous Sami. JS really moved me with his despair after the shooting, but that stuff can only be dished out in small doses or it becomes tedious. The show did just enough to elicit sympathy and then moved on. I thought hair and makeup did a good job on AS today. I do wish EJ could lose the johnnycoat. A DiMera does not need to wear such boring hospital clothes. And I miss seeing the bare chest. I'm thinking we need some sweaty physical therapy soon. Oh Marlena, you are very cagey and cool. Bo was great with his surprise attack. Loved it. I was a bit put out with Marlena's continual defense of her precious princess. Uh Marlena, that hooha has tasted a bit of rough stuff and she liked it. Hehehe! Get real Mama...remember the conference table??? Hope was naturally a bit worried about her boy(yeah dolts have to be looked after always). But this is a no win situation since she chose to keep what she knows from him BEFORE he married Blandy. Oh Steffy, you and EJ are gonna tangle, I hope, I hope. Sami will show you how it's done, if you need guidance. I can see these two, Mr and Mrs. DiMera joining forces to guard little Gianni from the Devil Grandpapa. LOL Bring it on. The best part of today, besides seeing hopeful EJ was no TinyLucas!!!!! A day without him is like a holdiay. |

the ratings were a bit better for days with the ej and sami scenes of last week and the at last hope that the writing has turned the corner.. the show today was excellent for days..but sometimes us days watchers can be very lenient due to the ick we have endured since october of last year (ummm what event dominated since last october..) all in all m liked marlena and hope, thought cagey belle was good with clueless shawn duhglas, ej and sami have never had a bad scene to my knowledge, and yes cindy..a day without lucas is like a day of pampering at a spa! |

How could you possibly watch Monday's episode, but not the wedding?! I'm disappointed, Manny! Well, at least you're watching DAYS! Does that mean I was right? |

Okay, so I had a mind block and couldn't remember what took place in this episode, cuz I watched it before the weekend. Now, I remember... The Hope and Marlena scenes were wonderful! Its been a long time since we've seen that interaction. Hope should've approached Marlena about this in the first place instead of everyone else, regardless of the fact that she was grieving. This information is eventually going to leak back to Shawn, and Belle is going to become more down!! Bo and Stefano were good, too. I couldn't understand why Stefano wouldn't just put it out there and say he knows that Marlena is the killer, or at least suspects it. Why all the mind games? |

Oh, and regarding Belle and Shawn discussions... Kirsten and Jason were my favorite Belle and Shawn too. But, I strongly feel they wouldn't have been able to successfully portray the adult version of Belle and Shawn. |

More and more I am seeing this whole story about Belle/Philip being more a story about Belle not being the PERFECT PERSON every thinks she is. Just the talk between Marlena and Hope saying that they didn't think she would act this way. I do hope that is the point of the story because I feel like that is 100 times more interesting that this just her being attracted to both guys. I have never felt that Belle had consequences for her decisions in the past when it has come to dragging both of these guys along. Quick on my favorite Shelle version has to be MM and BB. But I think a lot of that is that I like Brandon's Shawn a lot more than Jason's as well as I like Martha's Belle better than Kristen's. Bit of mixed feelings on the Marlena/Hope scenes. I felt that Marlena was defending Belle more than I think she would have if Sami was in the same situation. However, Hope is really nothing more than the town busy body. It isn't her job to make sure Belle stays faithful. It is her job to be there to support her son...especially when this all comes out. I saw where both of them were coming from, but couldn't complete agree or disagree with either of them. Although I did laugh when Marlena said "I'm glad you came to me first about this." You know EJ and Sami could be explaining the cure for cancer and I would probably ignore half of it. I tune them and this triangle out so easily that at this point I don't care what happens with them. |

Because after I finished with the live episode (which I didn't really plan to watch) I didn't have the time to watch the wedding. But I'll watch the wedding tonight.. ;) |

I agree. I don't like Shelle anymore with Martha and Brandon in the roles. The romantic chemistry is not there. I think Brandon is a decent actor and fits the role alright lookswise too, but I still don't really see him as "Shawn" either. I think part of it is the writing of the character since he has taken over the role though. I Love Martha and Jay together! Much more chemistry there. As for todays show; it was pretty good. I liked the Hope/Marlena scenes. I liked when Bo came in and commented to Marlena that she was at Sami and EJ's wedding. Tomorrow should be good! |

I agree with an earlier statement. Why is Belle "poor"?...did John lose all of his money and private jets?....Im sure John would have provided a trust fund for Belle and Brady...unless Marlena is pulling a "Candy Spelling" |

Good show today..We had some movement forward with Bo finding out that Marlena was at the church...I really liked the end with Sami flashing back to seeing Marlena...The best scenes were between Marlena and Hope...I really liked how both were instinctively defending their own children...The conversation was great and i really do love Hope and Marlena's friendship...Its just great seeing these two vets interact... One scene that stood out to me was belle holding the watch and walking to the mirror, then the camera fading into Marlena and Hope's conversation...Also the music today was a big improvement over what we've had in the past.. |
