At least there was no Leo, Cat or EJ today. Though, Johnny and Marlena did mostly talk about EJ, so there's that... #Days
This Joy/Alex/Stephanie story would be interesting if the story weren't so flat/repetitive. Joy doesn't like Stephanie, says to stay away; Stephanie says it's unfair, Alex is in the middle; rinse and repeat. The story needs levels, escalating behaviors, apologies, secrets and betrayals... #Days
Why are Johnny and Theo having DE meetings in what is clearly the Titan purple offices? #Days
Meh. I guess the Johnny/Chanel stuff was decent. But any and all of the EJ stuff was egregious and Leo/Gabi investigating the counterfeit bags is like the least interesting story either of them could be involved with. #Days.
EJ as evil patriarch is an obvious move, but like, come on, even Alan Spaulding and Victor Newman could give the moustache twirling a rest every now and then. #Days
What on earth is the music that plays during Tate's gym scenes?? It's like a rejected track from a Run Lola Run movie tie-in game for PS1: tinny, techno and sleazy. #Days
I guess I should wait and see what's going to happen, but the original EJ would've sabotaged the plane or had Belle/Chad kidnapped so that he could learn the secret of Stefano's chess set before they did. Not smugly drink warm champagne... #Days
The daddy/daughter dance was cute and all, but it was weakened by the Dimera stuff. It could've been stronger if Stephanie, Gwen, Jada or maybe even Holly could've organized the dance and used that as an opportunity to bond/reflect on their own relationships with their fathers... #Days
What is going on at #Days? Liam disappeared, Ari is off contract, most younger characters being written off, new characters with tenuous or dubious ties to the canvas shuffling in. Stories feel simultaneously rushed and slow. No romances, no mysteries, no secrets, no vengeance. Just garbage.
They got Lani slinging coffees and donuts in the square wearing leather pants and a tank top like she’s Buffy Summers. #Days
It was nice to see Maggie back. Her absence has been pretty glaring during this Kiriakis stuff. I get the IRL reason for it; but writing her out was…clumsy and inelegant. #Days
Great! I wanted to see Cat and Rafe talk about EJ for the thousandth time. 😒 #Days
There is no way even this weird version of EJ we have now would’ve come up with “Dom Voyage” on a bottle of champagne 😒. That is 100% the specific shit writing of the nepo writer. #Days
Aaron playing Xenoblade is such an oddly specific detail that it’s almost jarring that it’s not some generic game or generic controller. #Days
New characters onboarding soon, but the same writing/production team so idk. I think I’ve lost any hope for this show getting any better. When Alarr was fired, that felt like the last chance to get a dynamic and exciting new producer in and really innovate with this crap budget. #Days
Hmm. Getting rid of established characters to hire ex-GH actors has never worked out before, but sure, maybe this time it'll be great 😒 #Days
The surest way to feel like you don’t know anything is to try to do a Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle.
Hmm. A Lulu vs Carly argument just doesn’t hit the same way Sam vs Carly used to. #GH
I don't want to always be shitting on the show, so I'll say that Lexie, Theo, Abe and Chanel all turned in great performances this week, and I really enjoyed Friday's episode. #Days
Bringing back Lexie with a new actress was a bad decision and more people should've been fired for this. #Days
I can't believe this EJ story has been going since the "blackout" last September and it's been so boring, straightforward, slow and predictable. Cat and Rafe have been investigating EJ and nothing has happened there either. This is a soap opera in name only at this point... #Days
If I was a young, attractive EMT in Salem and had the choice between a 50 year old town gossip or a tall, attractive EMT who was my age, I think it would be a no-brainer. Hell, this Javi doesn't even have a brain and still picks Leo 😑. #Days
This show really needs another doctor. It can't just be Kayla and Sarah. Jeremy should've been a doctor and stuck around. Mark should get his license back or let Gus be a few credits short of graduating medical school and he can be a doctor. Just please, someone else! #Days
Stephanie lamenting that she can't be around Kelsey, a child she doesn't even want to parent, because she SHOT A GUN AT KELSEY'S MOM, when she should be grateful Joy didn't get a restraining order. I just do not understand why the show thinks Stephanie is who I should be rooting for here. #Days
It's a little cruel to make Roman say "chess set" #Days
Javi...well, I don't know about this one. AC took to the role with an ease that this one doesn't have. I feel like he's in one of those weird AI-generated verticals where anthropomorphic fruits get pregnant. His acting is just...bad. #Days
Marlena asked Kate to help her run Basic Black almost 5 months ago. Not much has happened with that non-story. And now BB is going away so what was the point? One wonders if there's some sort of backstage pivot happening...some stuff seems to moving faster and other things seem to drop. #Days.
JJ and Theo actually talking about something that isn’t the time JJ shot him? #Days
I dunno. I might have to cancel Peacock. I can afford it, but what exactly is the value prop here? $12.99/month for Days and Universal movies? For 3 sitcoms and sometimes a decent limited series? Yikes.
