Okay. I love me some Kristian Alfonso, but after today's episode I have to wonder whether she's been taking night classes at the Drake Hogestyn School of Eyebrow Acting.
She's been doing the for years if not decades. It used to be one of my favorite parts of the show.
Mine too, but I felt it was something that should've ended with the Princess Gina story. The raising of the eyebrow was usually our indication that Hope was turning into Gina.

She did it a lot during the SSK story. Maybe she forgot how to not do it. I just know it amuses the heck out of me.

Boring show today.

Carly is just plain obnoxious to me.I hate where this character is going. The only time there is any life in her or she is remotely interesting is when she is sparring with Vivian. Everytime Carly is with Bo my eyes roll so far back in my head I think they'll be stuck there. She doesn't want to hurt Bo's marriage...yet, bitch is constantly running to him. How about taking care of yourself! You killed a big bad guy! You don't need a man to rescue you! I hated her ugly cry. There was no reason to cry. If Vivan is such a threat that you need to cry then go try and kill her. Trip her old ass down the stairs or something. I hate the lack of movement in this sl. As of right now I want Vivan to get to this kid first. Anything to get this moving, and away from the contrived and absurd demise of Bope's relationship.

I think Hope is being written as a crazy bitch, but I don't blame Hope for hating Carly. I would have choked her with some garland.

I am very anti-Brady. The family dances on my last nerve. The only Bradys I ever really liked were Bo and Sami...but now both are acting an awful lot like Bradys. Bo is just irritating. Take care of your family moron. Quit trying to be a hero. And Sami for god sake enough with the victim routine. It is not even fun to watch.

What they all need is some counseling with Maggie, Salem's Mrs Garett. She will set Carly straight, pull Bo's head out of his ass and make Sami Brady calm the fudge down. And she will do it without raising her voice.

Maggie is the best.

I can not stand the teens at all, but when they are talking to Maggie I zone right in.
she is amazing. Makes me want a cup of warm Cocoa.

As for the rest of the show.........

Well, I do not understand why Ej doesn't want Rafe to know about the note.

I don't understand why Sami has on the same out fit that she had on at Christmas, but in a different color...purple I might add....God, everyone wears purple. Ej's shirt looked to be a light lavendar. Bo's shirt...well WTF was that?...purple? Burgundy?

Ok...where was I?

I don't understand why two men are fighting over... Melanie? She is no Marlena Evans.

Nothing makes sense to me right now, and I have a headache.

Of course as always I was delighted by Viv and Vic's freindship. I really hope Victor helps Viv with her evil plots. Plotting seniors are the best.

Hope tomorrow's show is better.




Why must Sami YELL all the time? I feel that is all she does when she is excited. She is as annoying with her yell as Lucas use to be with his screaming fits in 2007.

Ugh! I can't stand Hope's one eyebrow thing...it is so sharp and pointy and it drives me nuts. I have hated it for years, and i used to laugh at it even moreso than DH's. Just want to shave it off!

And I haven't seen the show, but if Hope barges in and starts giving Carly shit, I think I will have to flick it off! This is what happens when you treat your husband like shit and blame him for all of your problems and leave him...and a pretty former flame comes back and treats him like a grown man. I don't blame Barly for smooching...glad Hope got to see it. Now either fight for him or get off the pot!
Hope doesn't really give Carly any shit. Carly pretty much runs out for dear life. Crystal did "oh, shit" pretty well.

I thought the scene leading up to the kiss was lovely. Carly sensing an overwhelming sense of panic. I've never known Crystal to use "fake tears". Do soap operas even do that? Given that her nose was running (and later red) and her veins were popping out, her tears were pretty sufficient for the moment.

Kate feuded with Vivian well after Vivian became comedic relief.
Not really. Kate almost died in a plane crash thanks to Vivian.

Exactly! My mom and I used to joke that if Hope and John had a kid together it would be permanantly like :o

Nice use of guilt in today's episode with Hope on Bo, EJ on Sami and the best was when Mia unleashed her "my mother used to say that to me" tirade on Maggie. The additional backstory on Mia's life is sorely needed and the way they brought it up was excellent.

It's nice to see Mia and Gabby interacting together, two precious angel faces. Gabby is better when she's not checking up on her adult sibilings. Just don't over do it, Days!

Troy is always a treat to see on my screen.

Phelony have chemistry but there is a coldness to their relationship that is negating anything that was ever good about it. Phillip's hair is a mess, cut it! Melanie's wardrobe isn't helping either. The kid from Glee put it best, she dresses like a toddler and grandma all at the same time.

Get the show on the road with Anna already. I have no faith that this will be a well constructed scheme. Anna kidnapping Syd seems so cruel on her part, they need to flesh it out, ASAP.

My heart is breaking for Hope, I'm enjoying this s/l for Bope, Carly and Justin and it weaves in other characters like Mia, Melanie, Vivian and Victor. I do think either Bo and/or Hope need to really do some of this chew up the scenary acting and freak out on one another. I'm excited to see what Hope is going to do next. And the way Bo held Carly in his arms was wonderful, it said so much. Mirage, I hope you are right that Justin can turn up the heat should Hope and Justin have a romantic moment. As it is now, Justin really is coming off more as a girlfriend than a viable sexual interest. I know KA can pull it off so hopefully WK can too, should it come to that.

I hope if and/or when they cast Mia's bitchy mommy, we get someone well known in the role.

Mine too, but I felt it was something that should've ended with the Princess Gina story. The raising of the eyebrow was usually our indication that Hope was turning into Gina.
She did a strange eyebrow twitch today, like those muscles haven't been worked out in a long time and she couldn't quite get it up all the way. Funny that Princess Gina was mentioned because I was thinking maybe Stefano clicked on that brain chip to make her evil. I don't think John ever got around to removing it.


ETA: Dragon, you really need your own little blog, your posts crack me up every time! Thank you!!!!!!
Amello, that would be good if they did do that with Mia's mother, as long as they don't turn her into a cartoon villian.

LOL! I find it amusing, too ... Hope and John have always done the 'brow thing. I had to laugh though, as I remember it being an indication, re: Princess Gina too. Those were the days!

Am I the only one who started having a sense of deja vu today when Sami was bitching (at about a million decibles -- shut up!) at EJ for not sharing information with her? I could swear I just saw this scene the other day, except it was EJ bitching at Sami & Rafe about the exact same thing. Oddly, the reason EJ gave (wanting more information about the information before sharing the information) was the exact same that Rafe had given. Are the writers back to copying and pasting scripts again?

Yeah, but Vivian became comedic relief by that time. It was after the whole stint in Pine Haven with Laura where her head was shaven and she nearly received a labotomy. And even when Vivian caused Kate's plane to crash, it was done in a comical way with the drinks being mixed up. Vivian was definitely the show's comic relief by that point. It really happened after Lawrence and Carly left in '93. That's when Vivian and Ivan started being used for laughs.

Can someone get Phillip to wash his hair? It looks greasy, slimy all slicked back. It makes him look and act like a sleaze.

Liking Mia momma angst. It seems like they want to keep us guessing about who Carly's kid is.

Phelanie :puke: That's all I can say. Phillip a little insecure...maybe.

Sami...never, ever liked the character from day 1.

Today's show was so-so. I was expecting more fireworks in the Bo/Hope/Carly confrontation. I can tell that Crystal Chappell has finally found her stride again with Carly. As for the quad with Bo/Justin/Carly/Hope, I feel that Hope/Justin lack the chemistry that Bo/Carly have in spades. When Justin confessed his feelings the other day, it didn't carry a whallop; it just kind of fell flat. The story would be even more powerful if Hope were interacting with a character that she had great chemistry with. Nonetheless, I'm still liking the idea of Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell being front and center again. It's a testimony to KA and PR that after all these years they still have fans rooting for them. I'm kind of on the fence since I like both Bo/Carly and Bo/Hope. I'm enjoying the dynamics between Vivian and Carly. They are always a joy to watch. They spar so well together. I'm on pins and needles wondering what sinister plan Vivian will set in motion. I have my fingers crossed that it will be as exciting as the Buried Alive storyline.
Victor/Vivian should marry instead of Phillip/Melanie. I love watching these two baddies concoct all these crazy schemes. Kudos to TPTB for bringing Louise Sorel back. I haven't been disappointed yet.
I still can't stand the teens. Seems to me that the show is trying to alter Mia's personality a bit. However, I'm still bored stiff by this character. Then again, I'm bored with all the teens.
While my greatest wish would be for Sydney to be Nicole's baby, I have grown weary of this baby switch storyline. Curtains people! Let's bring the story to an end. Bring baby Sydney home so everyone can move on to another storyline. Someone please tell Sami to stop yelling. And please pass a quick tip to EJ so he'll stop flailing and waving his arms like a maniac.

LMAO!
I never thought I could hate EJ and Sami as much as I do right now! They suck! And the funniest thing about them is out of the three, I prefer Rafe! LOL!!! Never thought that day would come!

Yes, two days in a row!LOL

Ok, can we cut out the creepy Sybil music when Anna is present with Syd? It makes me think shes going to do something bad to her! And Nicole dressed her in cuter outfits! A second note which Anna is waiting to be sent? Maybe she waiting for her accomplice to tell her to send it??

Come up for air Bo/Carly! Oh shit did Carly ever look guilty. It was Bo that planted that kiss. I know Hope's been a bitch, but I liked it today. It seems like Bo doesnt care that he hurt Hope's feelings.

Did Nadia dye her hair darker? Hair is too poofy! Why dont we have more scenes between the execs? Days needs more friendships.

JKJs hair looks greasy, unstyled and a mess!

Does Sami buy those scarves in bulk? It's always the SAME clothes. Oh please, like Sami wasnt going to go through and open the envelope. Why always go to the tears and the YELLING! CALM THE FUCK DOWN AS! I thought EJ was in Team Brady with his cooperation with the cops? I guess its back to TEAM EJ! And that means dont tell anyone (except Sami so she can go all hysterical...geeze thanks for that one EJ!)

Why cant the FBI be discreet? I dont get it? I think that they have experience in kidnapping cases before.

Gabi reminds me of Claudia (Lacey Chabert?) from Party of Five. Shes like of nosy, but likable at times. Is Melanie starting at Salem high too? OOps....LOL!

I really doubt Mia ever thought about being a doctor. Her hair is a lot better and her mother is sooo smart! LOL Please dont tell me DAYS is going to "look" for Mia's mother. Didnt we just get through the teens being in a frontburner SL?!

LOL @ Vivian! "Dont be so paranoid, its bad for the skin!" Twist the knife VIV!!!!

Nathan looks so mature compared to Phil and his little threats! Melanie looks like she has to convince herself that marrying Phil is the right thing.

Victor is such a gossip! LOL @ him telling Dr Dan about Arianna? Is Dr Dan going to write it on the men's bathroom?

Troy has the old Salem phone. Couldnt DAYS make it so Arianna at least tried to swipe it?

Today was back to BLAH for me. There was really nothing that I thought was excellent.
