Today's episode felt stronger in that the action flowed well and there were a lot of different characters interacting with each other. I thought the dialogue supported the characters well too. No head scratching moments for me.

I like that SPD is busy and they had JJ, Shawn, Rafe, Roman and even lackluster Lani all shown together. JJ looked handsome in his uniform and eager to be there. I'm not sure what Shawn's official title is, but I like they teamed him up with JJ to keep an eye on Deimos. Good soap conflict for Shawn especially.

Chad made the rounds in a good way. He had strong interactions with Andre, Hope and then those charming moments with Abby. I loved Chad didn't bow down to Andre's revenge plan even though his eyes told us he's concerned about his fathers death. He did a commendable job hiding that and putting Andre in his place - or should I say kicking Andre out of the mansion? I thought this all was written smart and fitting for both characters. I sense Chad's deep desire to have Hope ease his mind and yet can tell he's not quite believing her. Those were short effective scenes. Now off to show us his delightful chemistry with Abby. Yes, those were anvils falling about bad luck, but I didn't expect their wedding to be a smooth one being as popular as they are and having a crazy ex in the wings. It's going to be full of drama! I was surprised Rafe is his best man, but I suppose all the taunts about Jordan and losing his badge is water under the bridge. New writers, new story. Now the bigger issue is Rafe's cover-up! Yes, it sets so much up!

Hope started out so confident and then disappointingly fell apart calling Rafe. Hope! What the hell do YOU want to do about it? Get it together woman! She was the weak link today because she needs to show some grit and determination. At least Rafe went face to face with Andre and I have to say his threatening stance was pretty damn sexy! Go Rafe! Go writers for bringing us to this confrontation too. The cards are all out on the table.

Andre calling Hope and taunting her with the opera music was perfection! Classic! Brilliant move!

High as a kite Jennifer! Alright! These were good moments with Abby and Theresa witnessing her euphoria. Theresa was right on it too, as she should be. Again, smart writing.

I've been bored by Kate for a long time. I think putting her with Eduardo a mistake. He was more interesting with Eve and they actually clicked. I'm happy if they decided to stop this relationship before it stunk worse. The conversation between them worked for a breakup, so let them go separate ways.(I did get a chuckle at all the head tilting they both did during those scenes though!) I was glad that Kate didn't coo at Deimos or accept his money. Maybe they won't keep dumping her in men's beds for her stories.

Oh and my favorite bridal gown was on Gabi when she married Nick. I thought her breathtaking.

I went back to watch the first part of Days on POP...but when Nicole called Brady, Dan, I threw up in my a little a lot
I thought it was so fake. You would never say the wrong name where Nicole said "Daniel".

Rafe doesn't seem to be bothered at all by the chance that he could end up in prison. He does know what happens to a lot of men in prison doesn't he? And not to mention how much the prisoners really, really hate cops.
Rafey boy just thinks he`s invincible.

Today's show feels different. Aw. Brady remembers Marlena exists.
Good different or bad different?
Well. It's a good different. I wouldn't say this is a good episode, though. But people are out of their bubbles, and there's just a...a feeling. It's a feeling that I don't think I've felt on this show since November. Idk how to explain it.
Like they actually have a plan where they are taking the show...I thought it was actually a pretty good episode too..Much better than the past 2 months.

"Friendship" may be too strong of a word. However, they did start to build a bond during the SK story since Rafe was initially the only person (besides Abby) that thought Chad was innocent.
OH yea there was that... Only Rafe didn't really do anything to actually help Chad LOL

Yeah . well he was worriedbabout his job at SPD. just getting his badge back and all. Funny how he didn`t remember that when he decided Hope should cover up Stefano`s murder.

I love how for once Andre isn't actually coming up with crazy shit and he's telling everyone the truth but nobody believes him, lol

Oh and I surprised myself by liking Abby's wedding dress. It was simple yet still stylish. Rafe being Chad's best man makes no sense to me. You'd think it would be JJ (or like Abby even said, Theo).

Can we go one day without Daniel's name or his picture at HTS or Victor's mention? Can Nicole stop wearing Daniel's breclet or his clothes and move on for love of god?

Today I really enjoyed Chabby , Bricole, Andre/Chad and Kate/Diemos scenes.

WTH Theresa design wedding dress for Abigail? It looks awful and if Jennifer wasn't on drugs she'll hated too.


I don't know what to say about Rope ,but just hang themselves for being stupid murderer cops to cover the horrible crime. I'm bored with back and forth hero with this two.
You really thought the dress looked awful? I thought it looked beautiful. They just need to take it in a little at the sides like Theresa said.
I thought that dress was gorgeous and looked great on Abby.

Oh, Abby's face...yeah. This is really reminiscent of Ben wanting to leave town. Totally different scenario, but Abby needs to start freaking out. I hope that's where they're going with this.
About damn time.

I hope, anyway.

So Deimos has no pictures with info of Ciara, Chelsea and Shawn Douglas or even Hope? lol I bet if Dan were still alive he'd a have a picture of him with all his personal information.
I think there were more pictures, we just didn't see them. So Ciara, Chelsea and Shawn were probably there too :shrug:

Cut scenes, I think (just going from recaps because I haven't watched the entire show yet) ..

Rafe and Roman celebrate JJ's graduation from the police academy, and Shawn shows up for his first day on the job. Jennifer stops by to bring JJ lunch. He's a little embarrassed by her behavior, which is the result of the pills.

Lani and Theo get together, and he admits Chase was the one bullying him via text. They offer each other advice on their love lives, and Theo assures her Rafe and Hope will never happen because the only one for Hope was Bo. He thinks she should pursue Rafe.

I don't think you're wrong. JJ said it best, Demiras never really change and I think it goes for Chad too. Chabby will never work because they're trying to make them into another EJami and even though Sami embraced the Demira lifestyle it's never going to happen with Abbigail. Sh's always been a judgemental goodie two shoe who expects everybody except herself to do the right thing all the time.
I'll never get the EJami comparisons in regards to Chabby. It doesn't fly except that EJ and Chad are brothers and both pairings were/are popular. There is phrase I'd like to use here but I'd get in trouble and Lysie hates it. ;)

But oh yes, you're right, all DiMeras have to be the same. Even if Chad wasn't raised one. DNA determines everything. :sarcasm: I'll never understand people lumping Chad in with the rest of the DiMeras like he's some bad guy when in actuality he is a decent guy who has made mistakes like everyone does. Lazy argument IMO.
Oh please ! There are so many similarities it's not even funny. They both use their charm to get what they want, either one knows the meaning of safe sex and are following in their father's footsteps inpregnating women, both have a penchant for women from "good" families who hate the Demiras and drag children into the house of horror to be raised in a lifestyle they claim to hate . As much as they swear to want out they are always drawn to the dark side again. They are raised to super couple status by the audience but their great love ends up a disaster. I have a feeling Abby's reason for leaving are not because Chad turns out to be a decent guy.

Wow that seems like some long cuts yesterday. But the police station scenes were definitely choppy. Would have liked to see Theo though. And he's right about Bo.

The Lani/Theo cut is interesting to me due to the Bo/Hope/Rafe part.

On the one hand, it could be interpreted as slowing down the R/H stuff again. On the other hand, not airing a convo that basically says that Bo was the only man for Hope leaves the door open to have Hope move on more quickly.

Maybe Lani was so boring they thought she'd actually put us to sleep lol

One other thing that bothers me. I wish Abe was police commissioner. We never see him as mayor and JR is a much better actor and we're forced to see Roman in all these cop scenes instead.

Plus the Roman JJ dynamic creeps me out

Yeah, I would much prefer seeing Abe more than Roman.

I have to imagine that JT has a larger episode guarantee than JR or something, and that's why they don't use him more. Who knows, though? :shrug:
