UGH, what an awful episode! DAYS should seriously consider scrapping the whole Brady-Theresa-Nicole-Summer storyline. It's beyond boring, it's unwatchable! . Brady has been boring ever since Kristen left. . Theresa has also been boring since she lost her bitchy/edgy side. . Nicole has been a bore ever since being paired with "Saint" Daniel. . And as for Summer, another one of Maggie's egg-babies??? NO, NO & NO! Maggie has other children that I would much prefer hearing or seeing, than ANYTHING connected to Daniel. For all of us fans, let Daniel RIP, forever! Today's episode was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT after yesterday's wedding episode.

I truly had to fast forward through most of this episode. The only parts I enjoyed were the scenes with Marlena, Steve, Hope, Rafe John and this dad. Though I must admit the scenes with John and his dad are starting to drag for me. Not because of Drake and Tobin because their acting is on point. But because the writing isn't substaining the suspense for me. It's time to kick the rescuing into high gear. And I know some found it ridiculous John was trying to break out of his chains, but he has done it before. At Maison Blanche he literally pulled his chains from a stone wall to get free.
LOL that's what I said about the chains at MB! And I agree I'm ready for the rescue too. And it's only been a few days but jigsaw's ranting needs something else happening. And Marlena looked so alone today. Even in a room full of people, you could sense she felt alone since John wasn't there
I agree. Marlena looked so lost. She is living up to what she and John always say to each other. When one isn't around the other feels like a part of themselves is missing. It's true. She really looked like a lost soul today. It's been a long time since she's had that kind of reaction to being apart from him.

I'm so not a fan of this Summer fiasco. UGH....
If I was a fan of Thrady, I would be doing handflips, but I'm not much of a fan....
I am completely sick and tired of Ode to Daniel. I just want to throw up....SMH....
I just want this jigsaw stuff moving too. I know it's going to be done soon though....
I FF through some of this and some I watched. All in all, not very impressed.

This show needs to make a decision, IMO. They need to decide that the rift between John and Brady is too much and they are estranged as parent and child after several attempts to mend fences or they need to work to make that relationship exist to the audience. Because no casual viewer would know John and Marlena are his parents. They'd expect Victor and Maggie are, except for the occasional moments he throws out "granddad".
Brady being killed off would work for me. Better yet they could focus on his real parents in the grieving process and put an end to him at the same time mending that fence. Bonus would be the end of Daniel's heart--Maggie and Nicole can have a separate funeral for him.
You're an optimist. They'd probably only let Theresa grieve for him. And Victor, if he is not sick. Oh, and Maggie and Nicole would grieve because of the heart. I want him alive and his relationships fixed. Well, I did say "better yet". I don't think that's how they'd write it. As long as he's dead I would be okay with however they write it. It would be nice if they did it my way.

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Thrady, but I can't imagine why this proposal at this point would be a good thing. They still haven't had an actual story! That's not unusual with Days, but it's still annoying. It's not that they've had it easy. They just haven't had anything. They weren't together, then they were. Great soap.

I thought I'd check out today mostly to see the Thrady proposal. The rest of the show was terrible. I ff'ed everything but Thady. I do think they've had it too easy and should have had better build up, but I find them watchable. Unlike the rest of the show. Basically the stuff I like gets no attention so I don't suppose DAYS will be any big loss from my life. I imagine I'll watch some this summer just because I'll be home. We'll see but I don't see myself ever watching faithfully again. The show is just so bad now. My favorite year was 2013. When they write like that again I'll be interested. Until then I guess I'm just not. I know many consider that to have been a year of bad writing, but it won't be the first time I like what others don't. So I'm cool with that.
I, of course like them, but they need more build up. Hopefully the antics of Summer, and the load up of lies might help. She was instituted a while back, now that translates to a few weeks ago. With the bummer mermaid, we scrape off one layer of bull and find a whole new layer of bull. To me, angst is a good thing, it is a great build up. Poor guy he barely got out....Donovan.
Yeah, if they get married I'll probably watch. This show isn't very good at follow through, but I do hope for Thrady fans that they get married. I think they are the only current couple on the show I root for. Other than the already established long term couples, which are pretty few themselves. It's pretty obvious that Thrady is the root for. If the show wants me to root for a couple, at least they should have some chemistry to begin with (I won't even talk about story, acting etc). I don't remember myself ever disliking a soap couple like I dislike them (and I don't dislike the characters).
With my luck, they'll probably marry. JL and EM has a fan event in June (25-26 I think). I guess it might happen around Thrady wedding. Thrady Vegas wedding was used as a PR for a fan event. Just a speculation.

It seems like it's totally driven by summer being around. Just like I felt they rushed the Steve and Kayla proposal because Ava arrived in town.

Yo Ling doesn't make much sense to me. He talks like he has some kind of righteous altruistic humanitarian mission... And today saying bad things about Pol Pot, and other murderous dictators, yet what he is doing is really no different than what they do. He re-educates, indoctrinates and brainwashes innocent people just like they do. Just on a smaller scale. Is he trying to say he trains people like John to kill dictators? It doesn't seem to be that. I wish they would have him give more detail about what his mission or cause is because he's not making sense to me. Or maybe he's not suppose to make sense. :shrug:

In their minds, their actions are justified based on a twisted understanding of the world even though, in reality, they are just as bad or worse than others that they criticize.

And I think maybe all this double talk of his is going to leave behind some kind of mystery

I realize that but they are making him appear and speak like he's some wise scholar. it makes me miss Stefano all the more.

The only thing Thrady are perfect for each others is, sex and drugs. They don't have a chemistry or story . They're awful together.
I had to laugh at how those two idiots were reminiscing about their fun past. Maybe they can make a scrap book full of photos of themselves being drunk or drugged up together and photos of John in a coma. Tatertot can show it to his friends when he grows up.

John and everyone looking for him were the only good parts of today. Why ruin that with Thrady, Summer, Daniel talk, Kate, etc?
Cannot believe Brady proposed and I swear to god if they actually get married and she takes John's last name, after all the shit she did to him I will lose it. Ugh.
It`s Brady`s last name too. Not just John. Too bad he only cares about being a Kiriakis. I wonder if he even realizes why his parents named him Brady.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
You would hate Brady if you watched every day like I do :blulaugh:
Oh I really hated Brady for a long time there when KL played him. I'm sure you remember my Die posts! Lmao! Don't like him now either, but he's just boring now. It's he same story over and over with him. Yes, I do! Fun times :blulaugh:
You're right, I hated KL's version way more than I hate this one. This one is just an irritant.
