melanie and Stephanie are good together. SH channelling Elizabeth Hasselbeck into Stephanie suits her. Thank goodness that awful hideous jacket philip is wearing got ripped in the scuffle and did nathan punch Phillip in the back?

Great uses of flashbacks today! So I guess Viv hates Carly for taking Lawrence and Niky away from her, show please give me more motivation.

Dan does look 100% better with darker hair. He actually looks younger.

The wardrobe dept needs to hire a tailor for Sami. And please stop dying it the ultra blonde-it-looks-grey- color. Please fix Phillips look too, cut his hair, wash it. There's no need to make him look younger or sleezy or whatever is trying to be accomplished here.

Hope looked like she was kissing her brother.
I like scarves with certain outfits, but not with EVERY outfit!! AS has gotten her shape back and looks great, but the clothes they put her in are not at all flattering. That outfit with the green pants and red top on Christmas was horrendous and not at all a good look for her. I am not sure if it is budget or for a specific purpose. I am with you on her hair, too. Needs a new color.

I think Alison S. looks hot but with every woman there are certain styles and fits that aren't flattering. A lot of people focus in on the cell phones and laptops while I could care less, it's things like wardrobe, hair and makeup that get me. Sami has a mess o' kids so I don't expect her to be stylish all the time, heck I'd probablly like it if they showed her in an oversized pair of Hanes sweats. But once in a while it's nice to see the characters looking nice and it's the fitting that is killing me. Most of the actresses need better bras and Spanx. Sami's grey shirt was nice but so snug in the arms, they should buy a larger size and tailor in the arms and the waistline.

It's hard to tell if it's budget or if it's part of the characterization. I guess they had EJ's hair long to make him appear older because it was "s/l directed" so I guess they are doing the same thing with Phillip to make him older or younger (it's tough to distinguish) or just plain skuzzy. Same thing with Dr. Dan's hair, people speculated the highlights were to make him appear younger for the Dansea and Danloe pairings but he looks younger now without those awful highlights that were frying his hair.

LOL about Sami's outfit on Christmas, I thought she looked like a slutty elf.

Sami has never dressed well. I don't expect her to start now. But she used to dress like a slutty ho, and now she just dresses like an old hag. It almost seems like she's trying to fit the style now, but is just failing miserably. Before she always was just trying to showcase her boobs (which she's still doing) and wear the tightest thing possible.

I hope MS got paid really well for how many times they show that stabbing flashback.

Liked the flashback between Maggie and Mickey.

Enjoyed the buried alive flashbacks although it was creepy.I know some don't like how wimpy Carly is being and while I wish she would get more of a backbone.I didn't like at first how blase everyone was acting like Viv burying Carly alive was no big deal.I really don't think Carly dealt with the aftermath of being buried alive between running off with Lawrence.being happy for a month.Lawrence getting sick,ect.I don't see when she would have had time to deal with it properly.So I can understand why shes terrfied of Vivian.I'm really beginning to think Carly is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

I hope so! CC would be incredible. I would love it if Carly went temporarily nuts and stuffed Vivian in a coffin for a little while to pay her back.

I say she'll go insane and do something to Hope. Maybe that's the spring story Corday was talking about?

I thought the same thing. The kiss was gross and one of the worst kisses I have seen on a soap.
I don't see any chemistry between them. They are coming across as a brother and sister. You can see that Hope doesn't consider Justin as anything more then a friend. I hope they stay friends and nothing more. Anything more would their friendship.

I hope not because I don't want them to ruin Carly's character. I like her but I'm not sure if I like her with Bo this time around. Knowing the days writers they will probably have Hope pregnant again and not know who the daddy is!
I hope not but these writers don't know how to write anything different these days.

OMG They have Rafe wearing one of those stupid scarves...WTF is wardrobe thinking?

The SAFE scenes are just boring filler. They add no movement to the story...They just put me to zzzzzz.

Sami, I am sorry but she is being written much too relaxed. If my baby is missing I am not roamancing the BONE. I will be on the hunt night and day. I may have break downs from time to time, but I will be focased on my mission. Due to the way that they are writing this...When Sami finds out who is involved in the kidnapping the imapct of her rage will not be as moving, because frankly it looks like she was just fine while Syd was away with Auntie Anna. No Biggie.

I love Viv's choker. I like odd pieces of costume jewelry. I have a vast collection.

You know for being a woman, who took charge and killed her hubby, carly is sure coming off as weak and annoying. Now DR Dan wants to save her...MEH! Carly, Dan's old friend with bennefits.

Viv has the best freaking lines...Gosh, whoever is writing for her gets a cyber hug from me.

Julie just looks gorgeous. I love the hair and outfit. Maggie is fab neck up. The big red rose clashes with that awful purple sequin jacket....Jazz hands anyone?

Aww you know Roger's is gonna make us all cry with this upcoming story. I am looking forward to it. I like old flashbacks. Rogers will be wonderful.

Phillip needs to wash his hair...nuff said. Ok, not nuff said. If he plays with fire he is going to go up like a roman candle.

I do not see the appeal of this child bride Melanie. Does she suck like a hoover or something? There is no reason for two men to fight over this twit.

The kiss between Justin and Hope was awkward. I guess it was suppose to be. They just don't have any sexual chem.

The flashbacks were awesome today, but my favorite part was the look between Carly and Vivian after that first flashback. Everything about that moment was just great right down to the way Vivian's choker hit the light, lol.

Daniel whispering to Chloe at the beginning was creepy. He does look better with darker hair. He should share that secret with AS.

I'm not digging Hope and Justin at all.

What was with that line from Philip when Melanie was talking about Kate poisoning Chloe after she eloped with Lucas? He said his mom could do whatever she wanted. I know what he meant and what he said afterwards, but it sounded like he was saying that Kate could poison Melanie if she wanted. Odd phrasing.

When Chloe walked into the Java Cafe, I totally thought she was Stephanie. I'm pretty sure it was the hair, but were they wearing similar coats or something? I was wondering why Daniel needed to talk to her so badly.


*sigh* Maggie and Julie. Just wonderful. So I have to say...is that the only Mickey/Maggie flashback that exists? That's the only one I've ever seen. I realize that that's their big story, and I can appreciate that, but is that few seconds from that one story all they've got?

I just read the following post at SoapCentral and it brought such a smile to my face.

I wasn't watching back then so I missed that whole storyline. I have thought that Vivian was harmless and funny but after seeing those flashbacks she scared me.
Nice to see the flashbacks served their purpose. Up until now, viewers who had never seen Vivian "in action" before probably didn't understand why she's so dangerous and why Carly is so hellbent on keeping her from learning the identity of her daughter.

Kudos to Days for finally showing more of Vivian's nasty side.

They are the same old flashbacks of Carly killing Lawrence. When are they going to stop showing this? I thought we were done with this flashback? Somehow I don't think we have seen the last of this flashback.

I meant Larry Alamain...what Bo used to call him! Bo loves to nickname people- i.e Junior (for EJ) Princess (Carly) Fancy Face (Hope.)

I think you thought we saw a flashback of Larry Welch?

Personally, I would have LOVED to have seen that wedding scene with Howie disguising himself as Hope again. :D I loved Howie Hoffstedder.
