Wasn't sure if I was going to watch today or not, but it started to rain, so I ended up staying inside, so turned on tv. And surprisingly rather enjoyed the episode today. I was just going to post something similar, as I'm enjoying LG's acting for the first time in a long time. Last time I saw her, she thought she was Renee, and that was painful to watch. And prior to that she was always so giggly and little girlish around Xander. So it's nice to see her acting like an adult.

Leo's still around. 😡 Wish he and his bestie Gwen would go back to where they first knew each other.

Totally ridiculous that she cared more about the stupid shares than the fact that Jake, her former love, was dead. 🙄

I watched again today, and honestly was rather bored. I really don't care about the Chanel/Johnny/Allie triangle, but am glad it's hopefully over, as the bickering between the twins was annoying. Enjoyed Paulina and Kate., and to a lesser degree Abe and Roman. I do like that Abe and Paulina are married, and I'd be ok with Roman forgiving Kate, as I think they make a good pair. So Abe's gonna run for governor? Guessing he won't win, but if he did, wonder who'd become major. Gabi and Ava, and the marriage plan seems doomed to fail, but I suppose Gabi can bribe someone at city hall to get the paperwork. But so tired of Dimera shares and the power struggle, and really don't care who wins, just make it stop already. Like others, I like nu-Sonny. He fits the role well. Back when I first started re-watching in 2013, Chad and Sonny had the little bar/coffee shop, and I liked their friendship then, so like that they remember they're friends all these years later. I'd read that Dr. Rolf was going to be back, and that it was going to be a different actor, so I wondered how that would work, so was pleasantly surprised that nu-Rolf was close enough to original(?)-Rolf that the recast wasn't glaring.

There's a "joke" in the Days promo for the week. You can watch it at this link: https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/weekly-preview-promo-7-25-2022-t43866.html

I'm so out of the habit of watching now, that most times even if I'm around at airing time, I don't bother watching. But I did turn it on today, and have a few thoughts. 1) Eric / Nicole - Oh, .. Rafe. Haven't missed you, buddy. And I see you're already jealous of Eric. 2) Brady / Chloe / Kristin - BORING 🥱 3) Sara / Maggie - really enjoyed those scenes, and liked the Sara character for the first time in a long time 4) Gwen / Xander / Sara - why is Gwen still on the show? Abigail's dead, and Jack's retcon daughter is still alive. I didn't even really like the Abigail character, and that just seems wrong. 5) Jake / Ava - actually kind of liked them as a couple, but Jake's accent still gets on my nerves 6) Sonny / non-Ben - had read spoilers about RSW coming back as a new character. Since it took me YEARS to see Roman and not Chris, can't imagine I'm going to not see Ben for a long time. 7) Sonny / Gabi - oh right, forgot about them. Another business story, also BORING

Thanks peachmangosteen. BTW, see we got new post "like" icons. 🙂

I watched today for the first time in well over a month, and enjoyed it. Actually liked everything about the wedding. Loved seeing Eric looking ever so fine. And of course Nicole was there as a guest. Made my Ericole heart happy. My only nitpick would be Allie and Johnny still being snippy with each other. I know it's because they're competing for Chanel, but I somehow thought after Allie sacrificing herself to save Johnny from the devil, they would be closer now. Not sure when I'll watch again. Has Abby's funeral happened yet? I don't particularly want to see faux-Jennifer mourning, but I would like to see JJ.

I guess I'm less upset over killing Abigail, as since this is Days, no one is ever dead dead. But it's the rumoured brutality that's upset me. Maybe it's not true, but it's so horrific, that I can't imagine why the rumour got started, if it wasn't true. I'm unashamedly a Cin fan. And I like Ben. However, Days really does not need to recycle another actor into playing a different role. It took forever for me to see JT as Roman and not Chris, so there's no way I'll quickly see "Ben" as someone else. I think the issue is neither KM or MM want to be on the show. But either recast, or kill her off in some other method other than a brutal murder.

I almost hate to ask, but did Ron write that storyline?

I'm not even a fan of Abigail, but I HATE that they are killing her off, and the possibility of it being as brutal and horrific as the rumours suggest, has made me basically stop watching. I still read the spoilers a bit, and maybe once it's over I'll start watching again, but I really have no desire to be "entertained" by the brutal murder of Jack and Jennifer's daughter, and mother of 2 children. And if she's pregnant, as next week's promo is hinting at, then it's even worse. And then to top it off, faux-Jennifer will be onscreen for the funeral. 🙁

Here's more unaired scenes. Not saying that Ron's writing is perfect, but these deleted scenes does make you wonder how much else that he writes doesn't make it to air.

Not that I want anyone to lose their job, but it wasn't until Susan came screeching onscreen that I realized how much I haven't missed her or Kristen.

This devil storyline has been going on for a tiring long time, but I will say Alliedevil is doing the best job of making things seem sinister. Particularly her scenes with Ciara today. And yesterday with Ben. Loving having Eric back. 💓 Jan going home with Shawn is pretty stupid. But this is a show where she got pregnant by the devil shape-shifting her into another woman's body, or however that was explained. So pretty much anything that happens now with this storyline will just be a continuation of that.

These last 2 episodes have been really good. I know every episode can't be this much fun, but it is nice when we get them.

I had to Google Jackie Cox, as I didn't know what was factual and what was fictional. Turns out he really was born in Canada. Obviously not married to Leo though. LOL. I was a bit surprised wedding #1 didn't finish. So does this mean Craig's gonna go back to New York. Did he even quit that job. At the speed everything happens in Salem, he should probably still be working his 2 week's notice. Guessing marriage #2 isn't going to be completed either. It really is rare for Salem to have an uneventful wedding, isn't it. LOL

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm in Canada, though, so not sure if we can get Peacock or not. I never did see the Christmas one, but found the one with the stolen jewels online. I think it eventually aired on a cable station here, but not positive.

Not even sure if I'll get to see it, since I don't have cable, but happy that Kristian and Peter agreed to come back for whatever storyline Ron has dreamed up. Despite not missing the Hope character, I hated the way Kristian left, so glad she's reconnecting with the show after what seemed like totally burned bridges.

I really enjoyed today's episode. Maybe because Eric and Nicole were fighting their feeling for each other. But even the Ava/Abby, Leo/Craig and Chloe, and even Bonnie & Nancy kept my interest. Still don't believe Leo isn't out to get Craig's money, and wonder if he'd fight the prenup on the fact that he didn't have his lawyer present when he signed it. And can't quite see where they would go with Clyde and Nancy, but it's such a different paring, that I'm up for it.

I wasn't watching then, so I always forget Ava murder Shawn Brady. So, yeah, no go with the Ava/Eric thing. And, of course, they'll probably pair him with Sarah, especially since toddler Sarah had a crush on him. 🙄

Rafe/Nicole is leaps and bounds better than Rafe/Hope, but still pretty bad. The only woman I liked him with was Jordan, back when I first started watching again, and didn't know either character. I'm mostly enjoying him, however, he does have this weird thing where he laughs (or cries) that comes across as creepy and strange. Love this idea. As an Ericole fan, they have to be end game for me, but this would work while they're getting there. Is Nicole too old to have a baby? I know there's already too many babies that are 99% off screen, but I'd love for her and Eric to have a child together. Though with my luck, Rafe would be the father. 🙄

Today was better than yesterday. LOL at the prenup. Hmmm... What will Ava tell Abby? Everything Gwen has done? Just the latest where she switched the syringes? Or something else altogether. Sonny does seem obsessed with Leo. I presume they want to keep Sonny in Salem, since the character has been recast. But unless they break up him and Will, or Chandler Massey is able to come back full-time, it's going to be no different than when Eric went to Africa right after the wedding leaving Nicole in limbo. Speaking of Eric ... woo hoo, he's back. 😀

Found today's episode boring. Didn't even get a flashback from Nancy and Craig and their reminiscing.

So it appears Leo hasn't changed after all. Not that I believed he had, but there was a point where it seemed possible. Maybe the actor didn't know what was to come, so played it like Leo really had changed. Really liking nu-Sonny. One of the better recasts. Nancy looks much better with the red hair.
