I agree about liking Nicole with EJ. However, I don't remember what she was like with Eric. If it was anything like the Nicole/EJ dynamic it must have been great! I actually didn't mind Bricole either, but that was different from what we are getting with EJ. Nicole is more human with EJ and I find the character more likeable this way. |

Today's show was alright. I liked the Steve stuff. teasing the hell out of that sniper and then when he just gets the shot, Bo and Hope show up. The Daniel/Marlena stuff was alright, I think if she knew that the lady he was talking about was Chelsea, I think she would have told him to not go there. I loved Kate's advice to Chelsea. What is that 3 times that someone has mentioned that Chelsea is going to get hurt if she continues this with Daniel. Definite sign that she is going to get hurt in this. I hope he sleeps with someone and she catches him. I think they are going to redeem Ava for everything that she has done while on those drugs. Then they can hook her up with Daniel. :) |

I see what you are both saying. But IMO a psychiatrist can't tell someone what to do. I think a person goes to a psychiatrist to find out WHY they make the decisions they make... the psychiatrist can't make the decision for them. JMO ;) |

I think what Marlena told Daniel, other than "follow your heart" was typical shrink advice. But I do think if she knew the whole story, a psychiatrist would see what Daniel is feeling isnt love . I don't believe he felt love for Rebecca when he married her. It's obvious he has a savior complex and falls in love with patients who are "dying" or very very sick. Marlena didn't have all the facts to tell him that but he's like a textbook case. |

I just wanted to say what a fabulous job Joe Penny and TB did today. While I'm sorry the storyline was cut so short, my heart bled for Ava today. Marvelous acting job by TB. It's a shame, the people at Days didn't realize what a powerhouse they could have had with Joe Penny. The storyline possibilities could have been wonderful. I still don't even see the point of hiring JP. If it was for the redemption of Ava, as some have suggested, that is a cop out by the writers. The storyline could have evolved into something really exciting. I as a viewer, sometimes get bored with all the lovey drama that goes on in soaps, and I'm old enough where I'm really not interested in the teen scene all the time. And sometimes the same boring couples soaps have had for 20 years get tired and stale as well. Producers and writers should not be afraid to try something new. The only other angle that interested me, was watching Patch and Ava in action in old clips. That had life and excitement in them. I found Steve and Kayla to be old and boring, and I've barely watched the show. Same as Marlena and this man. LOL I know this, from being a fan of other soaps, and sometimes, the old, has worn out that welcome. Soaps need something new. Soap operas are in serious need of a jolt, and the same old tired formulas just aren't working to attract new viewers. I'm hoping JP's stint on Days will draw interest in another soap into hiring him. He was fabulous. What a loss for Days, because surely there isn't anything as interesting going on in the show right now. Just my honest opinion from a 10 day new viewer, that is already gone. I will continue to keep up, to see if Ava get's an interesting storyline, but I have a feeling, the fun is already gone. If some of you know what I mean. :D |

I quite enjoyed today's episode minus Stax. Loved the EJ/Sami scenes and I love the Sami & Rolf's friendship. Tamara Braun is truly outstanding. I'm just loving her and Ava. It's sad that Joe Penny is already gone because I was enjoying his character. |

LOL!! I missed that on Monday, but I have the 2002 clip where that was shown... I've watched it many times. You should write into 'ask SOD' and tell them! |

I noticed the exterior mixup too, and I thought it was stupid, but then again, I'm just glad to see exteriors are finally being used again at all. |

I actually enjoyed today's show for the most part too - except for Stax, but that should go without saying. I really liked E.J. and Sami's conversation about what happened a year ago, although I don't want to see them together as a couple. Tamara Braun stole the show for me today. Now that the Emmys have remembered that DAYS actually exists, I really hope she gets a nod next year for her work! |

You know what I think they should have done? Instead of Bo shooting Martino in self defense, wouldn't it have been more interesting in Ava's rage she picked up his gun herself and fired? I didn't care for the Stax stuff at all. First, having a picnic at the dark, dirty docks is not all that romantic. Second, Max insisting that Nick has had a problem with him since he stole a page out of the grant to write a phone number is not just a lie to her but a pretty insulting one. It's trying to make Nick look suspicious when he has ever reason to protect...Oh never mind. I did think JS and AS did a great job in their scenes, but it's a bit to easy of a retcon. I really wish they would just let them really talk about it. A conversation that tries to change what happened to people isn't going to nullify their feelings at the whole thing but if they actually let them sit down and discuss everything including EJ's threatening demeanor, planting his seed cause his father told him too, everything. EJ was a different person back then and thought of himself as a mini Stefano. Isn't that a better way to retcon it? |

I think it would have been really interesting. Even though she's off the drugs, Ava is clearly still having issues and she's always had a temper. TB coming to grips in killing her father would be good, and honestly I could see Bo feel a bit guilty because he might have thought he would see it reaching this level. Like maybe she runs up to hit him, and Bo does nothing to stop her. Martino pushes her away where she lands on the table, feels the gun underneath her, picks it up and FIRE. |
