Adrienne & Justin, Marlena & John, and Steve & Kayla need to be front and center :glare:
I would have said that about Hope at one stage.... I think we need ebbs and flows.
I agree that vet stories should be spread around so that we don't see the same stories with the same people over and over again because YaWN. Quite frankly I want Hope gone because she is so overplayed right now as opposed to if they'd given her a light December and January and by Feb I'd be all, "hey, where is Hope?"


But I worry with your 4 month on 8 month off schedule that you get too many character bubbles. The things about soaps that work is the relationships and if I'm not seeing Steve and Kayla while I'm seeing Justin and Adrienne I'm wondering where the heck Adrienne's brother is during all this.
I guess I see the other characters as support characters during those phases.

eg The focus is on Justin and Addrienne getting through her cancer scare but it involves them interacting with Kayla, Steve, Hope, Marlena etc.

JJ said he would be willing to kill Ben for what he did to Abigail. Please do it JJ.
No Don't JJ - I dont' need any more rogue vengeful cops or murderous teens ( you'd fit in both categories).

JJ is at least 21. ;) They aged him.

Summer quickly turning into a potential psycho makes me think maybe this is a Josh story. It seems ominous all of a sudden and I feel like Higley would have made it some beautiful love connection Daniel guided. But this sounds like Josh figured he could use moron Brady to let her wreak havoc instead.

Yes Dario, please come to Salem and distract Nicole with your manliness.

So JJ is all in favor of Chad immediately upon hearing Ben is on the loose? That seemed too quick. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for them to build a bond, so I'm disappointed it happened in two seconds. I do like how we haven't seen Ben but feel the threat of him with the phone call and Chad seeing a lookalike. I also really liked Abby and Chad having a romantic moment with the pretty accompanying music. Nice start for the beginning of Ben's return.

Brady continues to be dumb while the women at least can agree having Summer stay at the house is not a smart choice. Making Summer wacko is the only way to go with this to make it watchable and even then I still feel as though it doesn't deserve full attention.

The kid playing Joey is laughably bad. I just can't with him. Jade does nothing to enhance the character or story. I'd much rather the other teens be given screen time over these two.

I thought MBE did a wonderful job expressing her despair over Ava's murder staying with Joey. I'm glad they made a point of how important it would be for his parents to help him cope with what he had done.

Watching now. There was definitely a time jump between the JJ and Chad scene on Tuesday and today's opening scene with them. So I feel like something was cut. Ben sweet-talked a female guard into letting him take a walk. Wouldn't you think someone like Ben who has killed so many people would be guarded more carefully?

Brady tells Theresa you took Summer to hotel without calling me? she said she didn't want to be here and even if she's Maggie Horton's love child. he said but she's lost. She said you don't know this woman . Damn it I lost connection and I don't know what happened the end of show.,
I think he said Summer is only a danger to herself. Which I think is foreshadowing that somebody will end up hurt because of her.
Steve said NYE that Ava wasn't going to hurt anybody either.
Thank you,Lovejm and daysyrghfan for let me know what happened when I lost connection in middle of the show. :hail:

I got the impression JJ made his "blessing" up on a whim instead of telling Abigail the truth about Ben. He didn't want to tell her. I definitely wanted more of a discussion between JJ and Chad today.

Ben could definitely sweet talk me into just about anything :)

Adrienne came in with Justin. Their scene together was probably happened before then. Why couldn't they cut down some of the Bummer scenes?

My favourite part of today show, Chabby, Stayla, Joey, JJ, Belle/Justin and Adrienn.


The worst part Thrady, Summer/Maggie and Brady/Maggie.
This Summer storyline is not doing any of the characters involved any favors.

Maggie falling off the wagon after Dr. Douche died could have been good soapy stuff...

Brady needing a liver instead of a heart & it rendering him unable to drink EVER or he could die could have been good soapy stuff with his sponsor back in the bottle...

Nicole turning back to being a bitch-on-wheels instead of a "WOE IS ME!! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS GONE" whiney PITA could have been good, especially if it meant she was up against Kate...

Eric could & should have just hit black ice instead of drunk driving...the accident was just that, an accident - no one to blame, but he has survivors guilt and it manifests itself in some way that only Marlena recognizes for a while...

Theresa should have been in the car with Brady & she was killed too, giving Brady a real catalyst to WANT to drink, but he sees Evan (I will NOT call him that other name, like ever) who looks back up at him and realizes his life must go on...


But no...let's bring on ANOTHER re-write of history to prop Haggie. :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

Josh loves writing for psychos so I can see it.

LOL at Nicole "it's a Horton marrying a DiMera, it's like free publicity."

Summer is so shady.

I'm not happy that the Justin/Adrienne scene was cut, especially because they are NEVER on, but I'll forgive it because of the Steve/Adrienne hug. I just wish the writers would find something for J&A to do. The fact that they dropped the Adrienne cancer storyline is a shame, because WK and JE would've knocked it out of the park.

Chabby was the best part of the episode. I'm on pins and needles watching their scenes again. I LOVED the silent phone call Abigail got. They're seriously doing an amazing job building up the suspense to Ben's return/the wedding.

Why are Brady/Theresa still a thing? They annoy the crap out of me and are not entertaining at all. It's time for Days to cut their losses with this pairing. And don't even get me started on Summer/Maggie.
Eww, looks like Maggie hitting on Brady the way she hugs and kisses him. :puke: :drunk: Damn you writer Brady has parent and he doesn't need Maggie as his whatever you can call it. I just want this crap story of Braggie, Thrady and Bummer to stop. It gives me headache.

I have to agree regarding Lastovic. Don't get me wrong, I do like him as Joey. But I just haven't seen any of the amazing talent coming from him that others seem to see. None of the teens really stand out to me as far as acting goes. I feel like they're all very green, and that's perfectly fine. Take a look back at clips from 1999. Kirsten Storms, Jason Cook, Farrah Fath, Brandon Tyler (teen Philip #1) and Nadia Bjorlin were pretty bad. It just sort of comes with the territory, I guess. And when given stupid teen storylines, it doesn't really matter to me. It's expected almost. Which is another reason I hate that the show decided to make all of them 18 all of a sudden.

I don't have much of an opinion on the actress playing Jade yet.

I was glad to see Kayla's concern for how this is going to affect Joey. That makes the ease with which she seems to have accepted the cover-up easier to take. It feels like not only do they think they can prove self-defense, they all really believe it was self defense. It's a different definition of self-defense than I'm used to, but it's how Isabella got off for murdering Marina, so I guess it's consistent with Salem.

Love the tension with Steve and Kayla and how they are trying to put that aside, to some degree, to be there for their son. Kayla's line about Joey needing Steve was great, as was Steve's line about them pulling together.

Nice to see Steve and Adrienne share a hug and I enjoyed the Belle/Justin scenes. I'm still waiting for Kayla to have a conversation with somebody outside her bubble, but at least she actually saw new people today.

I thought Joey/Jade scene was the one that was cut on Tuesday, but it obviously wasn't. Not thrilled with her being the new drug-pushing "friend" but I guess it was bound to happen. Glad Joey decided court was more important than getting high.

I still can't bring myself to care about Bummer, although I guess if she's crazy or a con-artist that might make it all more interesting. Theresa confiding Abby made me roll my eyes so hard it hurt. Not only has Theresa been insta-redeemed, but now her former enemies are her besties. Blech.

Chad and Abby were cute, but Chad should have learned that lying never works. He needs to have a sit down with Abby's Uncle Steve and find out how lying always comes back to bite you in the ass.

I find it really bizarre they took the time to have Theresa tell Abby about Bummer.

Chez Rouge still exists. Nice to know. Wish we could see it.

Justin: I have to be impartial.

Yeah, because you've never let a grudge drive your actions before.
