I wonder if something with Philip got cut. And also I wonder if there was more with Shawn and Lani. They all just seemed random.

Why is it strange?
I don't know. A lot of stuff are strange in America, it's a crazy country. No offense.
What is wrong with young adults drinking alcohol? I think at 18, you are old enough to know how to drink responsibly.
You must not have met a lot of 18 year old Americans, lol.

The drinking age here was raised nationally in the 80's to save lives on the highway, and it worked. Maybe if we lowered it again, the deaths wouldn't go back up. But there is a real reason that it's 21.

There's just too much dope on the streets. Lowering the legal drinking age would add fuel to the fire. Eighteen year-olds already smoke crack, crank, meth...whatever. I'd
like to have a machine gun to wipe out the residents of a few drughouses I have to drive by every day.

This story with the girl liking Joey and that strange laughter--- Is she suppose to be on crack or something? Really horrible acting.

I liked Marlena/Belle, Steve/Kayla (always) but suddenly Roman is just condoning/covering murder all over the place.

My favorite teen couple is Theo and Sierra.

I'm not sure what Jade's deal is yet either. I don't like how they introduced her at all.

Thank you JCP.

I still say only Claire and Chase look young enough to be teens.

I know they are keeping Joey younger till this Ava stuff is over, but he needs to be aged along with Ciara and Theo. The new girl doesn't look like a teen either.

The young woman who plays Jade is sooo much better than every other young actor on the show. She looks a lot like like Ava. I'm putting money on this chick being Ava's daughter. Deimos or Steve will be the daddy. TBH, Jade is the only thing that really stood out to me on today's show.

The rest of the show was okay. Better than meh, but not as good as impressive.

Props to Claire for mentioning she was being self-indulgent with that song. I liked the interactions between Hope/Claire, Hope/Theo today. "I'm going to call your parents about this" makes a lot more sense for a grandparent to say than "I'm going to call my son, Shawn, your father about this".

The Rape story line. I like that this story line is only getting 1-2 episodes a week maximum because of all the dark crap on the show, rape is the one that I'm least interested in being engulfed by and because ... VJ is more often miss than hit. I like that they've stopped the rape flashbacks. I like how they're writing the C/H relationship, in general. I like that Hope keeps it strong and sure in front of Ciara and doesn't go into regretful self-indulgence. The actual scenes today, nothing to write home about but okay enough.

ETA: I'm agreeable with Hope's slow evolution here from "I don't regret murdering him" mixed with down-low "does that make me a bad person?" turning into something close to regret even before she knows for sure Stefano didn't do what she thought he did because "wrong reason" or "right reason" - murder is not the answer.

I wasn't paying that much attention to Marlena/Belle. But props to Marlena for doing her thing. I do understand Belle being "oh no you don't".

Roman's "How To Get Away With Murder" Academy, lol. I think it's sweet that he's doing this in a way for his family members BUT it's so odd. It's so odd to have so many members of your family committing murder and perjury at the same time. If I was the Salem PD, I'd feel like Roman though. All the villains have been outsmarting them for decades, out-buying government officials for decades ... I felt Roman on "sometimes the only way to get justice is..."

Roman's "you drove the car without asking your parents" lecture for murder? LOL. The kid who plays Joey reminds me of a dumb jock on steroids for some reason. I did like the Steve/Joey scene in the park where Steve was trying to convince Joey he wasn't a homicidal maniac. I don't know Steve, maybe send him to a psychiatrist first before you proclaim that. His murder impulse was a little too easy there. I enjoyed Roman analyzing things today in general.

Shawn/Lani faded into the background like a plant.

ETA:

I'm not getting what exactly the show is going for especially in terms of Friday cliffhangers going into Monday. They'll do a cliffhanger one episode and than be all "what cliffhanger?" the next episode. Odd.

I think Jade's sole purpose on the show was to give Joey a love interest. They wouldn't make her his half sister, so I doubt that Steve will turn out to be her father.

He really can't be with any other chick due to blood-line. I agree. I'm 100% on her being the spawn of Ava though. Splitting image.

I don't see much similarity between Paige Searcy and Tamara Braun. There was something in the dialogue that was similar today (I think Jade said something like "stop fighting this"... which, ew). I think I've heard that in other stories recently too, though.

They should get rid of Rafe, Roman, JJ and Lani as a police officer or whatever hell they're and let BlackPatch and Edurdo take over salem police department.


I enjoyed Thiara and Stayla Joeteve ,Marlena with Belle and the rest was boring.

I didn't like Jade's acting. Can they bring Roxanna back and pair her with Joey than Jade? She's beautiful and knows how to act compared with Jade.


I loved to see strong and fearless Marlena going to find John and bring him home instead of waiting and do nothing for love of her life. :sweet:

The Grandma Hope stuff wasn't bothering me before, but it's getting ridiculous. She'll call Claire's parents? Well good. I'd like them to acknowledge each other.
Wait. Did Hope say that?!?


She said it to Claire AND Theo, but yeah...
I saw it now. Hope saying it like that to Claire was odd. I did like it when she patted Claire on the head after that though. That was the first time she acted like they are related.

I loved the Belle and Marlena scenes. My wishful thinking was that knowing Belle, who cannot keep things to herself, calls Brady the minute Marlena walked out that door and wished that was the situation that interrupted Brady and Theresa's engagement. :blulaugh:

I don't think I said I wanted dialogue about family for the sake of having dialogue about family. But I do want connections to be acknowledged instead of having people pretend they don't exist. So, I'm not going to complain when they do that, even if it is out of left field. Again, JMO.
I guess I consider it being out of left field the same as just having it to have it. Again. I don't think it's a big deal but it's not some connection that they're acknowledging. I'm not even sure what context he's coming from which makes it worse IMO. Because none of the contexts have been referenced and they've interacted. If it has just been a year or so since their relationship was a thing I'd feel differently. But it's been two decades and lots of screen time. It's like if Caroline started talking about John as a son again. It was something I enjoyed once, but it's been dropped for so long with them onscreen that it doesn't hold true now. But in Roman's case, it's just excessive. Belle has a billion other relevant connections right now that are being ignored, but they decide to randomly shout out that one? It's just strange.
To me it feels more like Corday told writers, use JT wherever you can.

Yeah, and since that's the case, I think they just need to slide JT back to being Chris K. and slide Wayne back in as Roman. (In fact, I wish they had done that for Bo's death!)

Loved the Belle Marlena today. That finger wag was great.

Still cost get over how much I like Theo. I could go for Ciara Claire Theo

Jade can go. The laugher over the murder? And I think GranolaGirl said she had an Ava line, we both know it's going to happen.

Kayla and Marlena need a spa day. They were different degrees of done today.

Something must have gotten but with Philip. Shawn Lani also

It bothers me at how much Roman will do to cover up murders for his family members, Hope and Joey, but did nothing to help protect Eric, his SON, after he accidently killed someone.
And did I hear Roman correctly... Joey doesn't need to go to jail, he needs therapy? WHAT ABOUT YOUR SON!!!!
I just don't get it.

Hope and Ciara. She is going to get Ciara help to deal with this.
They both need counseling IMO.

Very true, but he's not wrong about the counseling.

I haven't watched yet, but I do find it rather absurd that Roman doesn't believe Joey. The physical evidence points to Joey....


I agree. Half of Salem needs to line up in front of Marlena's office door and take a number.
She needs get another psychologist or refer some to other colleagues. Maybe Dr. Finn could do it. He seems to be like Daniel and do all kinds of miracles.
