One more thing that bugs me about the writers. Or maybe I just have to chalk it up to having watched the show so long, that some things come off as stupid. Having Hope say that Maggie and Mickey were role models for a wonderful marriage was stupid. Everyone knows Hope's marriage is falling apart and she basically announced to all of them that Bo and Carly did it. So obviously she was playing the victim card or the poor me, my marriage can't measure up. But then I remembered. Mickey and Maggie both had histories of having affairs. When I first started watching DAYS I believe Mickey was having an affair with a married woman named Linda Patterson. I think she is Melissa's bio mother. Anyway, he was not married but she was. He was divorced from Laura, who had been raped by his brother Bill and got pregnant with Mike. Then when Mickey and Maggie were married she had an affair with Neil Curtis. Before that Mickey had died for a little while, and Maggie hooked up with Marlena's ex, Don. And even more recently I remember Mickey trying to get it on with Mimi's mother who was then being played by Judi Evans....was her name Bonnie? Anyway, I know people only say nice things. But seriously, do they have to have characters say stupid stuff. And then Julie talking about how he got so many of them out of trouble. Did poor Mickey ever actually win a case?? LOL Just laughing at the trials and tribulations of being a long time viewer. |

How contrived was it when Justin showed up right when Bo and Hope were hugging? It was stupid! That's all Justin did the whole episode! I found it unneccesary for Justin to be in the episode. |

Actually, I'd like to see more of Justin. Bo is a creep. I'd love to see Hope move on with a man that isn't confused about who he has sex with and when. |

Dang! Hope and Carly took off their earings. Great acting. I feel bad for all parties which makes the s/l more interesting. The flashbacks were nice, just wished there were more. Julianne Moore looks like a young Maggie. The music for Wed epi was wonderful. Mia and Mel's hatred for Carly is lame. They could have done it more authentically. Carly could have gotten Mel in trouble at the hospital, Mel resent her and Mia not like her in solidarity because she's a dumb teenager. I can do without Julie most of the time but Doug has been great, especially showcasing the father daughter relationship and being torn about Bo. That was the Melissa that I remember of Melissa & Pete, right? Wow, Mark looks just like her. Also, Molly and CC really do look similar. It's too bad that they are hellbent on this quad. It was funny how their respective hugs showed Mel and Nathan ambivilent but Phelony and Sathan almost have a chemistyr that they can't fight. I was buying Danloe as a couple with their candid conversation about the Broe breakup, then they had to ruin it by getting horny. I thought I saw Drake H. when Brady busted in to save Ari.

Someone needs to just shoot Rafe in the face next time he invites himself in without knocking the door or ringing the bell. That would break that nasty habit. Hope is way too good for Bo...and that is all I will say....for now.lol Carly is just a nutter. jumpy jumpy jumpy. Viv is going to have so much fun with this lady. I thought it was a nice touch that they had Ej go to Maggie's house to give his condolences. I like it when writers recall deatils. If I was Ej I would feel like utter shit after Hope thanked me and said how sorry she was that Sydney was missing. I don't think the man realizes that something like that hurts more then Sami and Rafe. It hurts a community. It will be interesting to see how Ej gets out of this one. I always enjoy the scenes with Anna, Ej and Syd. Daddy and baby look cute together. I loved the Mickey and Maggie flashbacks. I have always hated it when the show kills us with recent flashbacks, but the ones from years ago are wonderful to see. The Viv and Vic banter is always a treat. I loved it when Viv called Mia a blonde haired moppet. lol Ok...the Ari killer was kampy. He was so over the top. Did they find the actor on the show 1000 ways to die? Because his acting skills were spot on with the folks who do reenactments for that show. The show was alright...not as emotional as the days before. Things are winding down. |

ITA! I rather see more Justin too. And he had a purpose today to be there for Hope. Bo needs to find his brains; until he does I say bring on Justin/Hope. |

Well, Troy and the hit man were the comic relief for my coworker and me today. Who would hire a hit man and stand outside the premises where the hit is to take place, talking to said hit man. And that hit man is also an idiot. Why would he tell Ari to turn around and put her hands up instead of just shooting her? Even if he wanted to make it look like a robbery, he could have done so after killing her! |

It is a show on Spike tv. All they do is show reenactments of ppl dying in weird ways....Often in bizarre sexual acts. The actors are just awful so it comes off as very kampy and funny. The stories are supposed to be true though. lol There was one where this guy died from a blood clot because (using a string) he tied a sauage too tight around his leg. He wanted to impress women at the Disco by making it look like he had a huge penis in his tight, tight pants. |

Kenny, this was fantastic, fantabulous, be still my heart. Haven't enjoyed DAYS so much as I have since Carly came back and she got to my Bo. She has awakened the Bo I loved so much. |

I'm so behind ... just watching Monday & Tuesday's episodes now. The Bo & Carly sex was rather interesting. At the end of it, I was kind of disappointed in Bo for running off to assist Hope so quick. Its obvious he cares about her still and can't be blamed for that, and it is a dire situation, but disappointing still. Also, surprising that Carly showed pretty much no emotion at hearing Mickey died. I want Melanie & Nathan back together. Their moment was so sweet. Maggie is rocking her scenes big time! The text getting deleted was sooo sad! |

Your words are a great comfort to me-EJ....thats just COLD! It felt creepy when he accepted Hope's words after shes suffering. I so want Steffy to stick it to his son- dont cross the Phoenix, Junior! AWW, Steffy loves Sydney...you meanie, EJ! LOL @ Carly taking the stairs and Vivian frightening her! WOW, Melissa with long, long hair. I wished they used her more. You take the time to bring this actress in for a couple of days and all she does is mostly stand around. Maybe theres more, but they could have put in flashbacks of her with SR. I really liked the talk she had with her son. I miss those moments. Its good that he has someone to let us in to his thoughts. I wished they focused more on the funeral. I LOVED the flashbacks because I was didnt watch their courtship. I wished their shown more of their marriage early on. The little speech by Julie was nice as were the Hortons remembering Mickey. Sure their marriage in the beginning was rocky, but they had stayed marriage and affair free for a long time. And why did DAYS focus a lot of that attention on Melanie. Come on DAYS....really? There were too many things going on in Salem. Why did they need to put in stuff like the hitman, especially since we know he wasnt going to shoot her in the Brady Pub. Aww, Maggie had her red shoes on! |

Carly showing up at the Horton household after sleeping Bo and following Mickey's death was totally insensitive. Doesn't justify the way Hope reacted to her IMO, that anger should've been directed at Bo. |

Mickey was still married to Laura when he had the affair with Linda. Linda claimed that her baby (Melissa) was fathered by Mickey, which Laura knew could not be the case since she knew that Mickey was sterile. I know it would have been awkward to have too much focus on the Bill/Laura/Mickey triangle on today's episode, but it was such an important part of Days and Mickey's history. Hell, it's probably the most important story in Days history. Days really should have made the effort to bring back Mike. It makes no sense that we could have Mickey's funeral and not see Mike on screen for it. |

Thanks for clearing up the details. No VCR's back then so I could not always watch, and mostly watched in the summer. Yea, it would be awkward to mention it all. But viewers should know, especially new viewers, when they hear us talking about the hypocrisy of some of the characters towards the flaws of their younger counterparts. Certainly they could give them advice, remind them of how hard it can be to repair these mistakes. But for them to treat characters who cheat as pariahs, and act all holier-than-thou is laughable. Surely at some point, Hope heard about Uncle Mickey and Maggies affairs. So sure, no one mentions it at a funeral. But why have Hope say that Mickey and Maggie are role models for a good marriage. |

LMAO! Chappellous. Great video. The few ones of Bo and Carly are worth a watch too. |
