Since LA did a good job with Devil Allie, proving the problem with normal Allie is the character, not the actress, it also points to the real problem being Ron. He should have made Allie a bad girl and hooked her up with Evan since they had chemistry together. Plenty of possibilities there. Not only could they have schemed together (much like Sami and Lucas used to) but there would have been family drama with Orpheus's son in a romantic relationship with a Brady grandchild, which would be shades of Allie's own mom when Sami as a Brady hooked up with a Dimera (EJ).

A doctor, a shrink, and a shrewd businesswoman walk into the afterlife.... oh shit that sounds like the start of a bad joke. Nevertheless, this show has become one so.... a doctor, a shrink, and a shrewd businesswoman walk into the afterlife and sign papers they didn't read? 🙄 They actually believe ascending to heaven works like a video game where you have to level up! 🤣 The more the ladies talked, the dumber they sounded. And then they demanded to speak with the devil. If only this show had a music budget; it would have been a good time to que up "Sympathy for the Devil" because man did I have a lot of it for Old Scratch if he had to hold a conversation with these three. Meanwhile, the Bengay gang sits around the pub brainstorming ways to get into jail (no Roman, Statesville doesn't have good security, what in the world ever made you think that) and kill Orpheus. 🙄 Yeah, okay. Those silly fools. By the time you reach the age where you need yearly cholesterol checks and daily fiber in your diet to poop regularly, you should know that there's no such thing as dead in Salem so why bother? I mean, it worked out so well the last time John killed him. 🙄 Come on, pathetic old guys--there are only two kinds of dead in Salem. The kind where you are still walking around living a normal life (see EJ, Stefan, and...oh Steve and Roman themselves!) And the kind where you only walk around Salem on Halloween or when the devil's in town. Can't wait till the Bengay gang find out that kind of dead torments your "dead" gullible loved ones any old day.

I've always thought it was weird that Orpheus and the kids never mention her anymore. I'd say they should bring her back, but Ron will just write crap for her. Back in the day, Amy and George pulled off some great scenes, especially the one on the pier where he threatens to kill her. Very dramatic and well done with creepy background music that the show can't pull of anymore. It's become DH's resting face--utterly nonplused and unfazed whether alive or dead, Salem or the afterlife. Then again, maybe she's channeling the majority of the viewers at this point. 😁

Not to mention RoJohn was flirting with Olivia a few weeks after he believed Doc died in the house explosion in late '86. Pretty sure they kissed and were dating by the time of Marlena's plane crash demise in April. Interestingly, Orpheus knew him too well since he's the one who sent Olivia with that plan.

What a letdown. Little Peanut and I were at least hoping they'd break out the old devil suit from the closet. But Nick Fallon--blah. 100% This!

Roman, John, and Steve plot their revenge on Orpheus....for getting his revenge on them. Really Ron? 🙄 Roman already killed his wife. John already "killed" him. He's currently in jail. Gee I can't wait to see what the Bengay gang come up with for their revenge. 🙄 Whatever it is, I'm sure it will squander the chemistry this group (well, George, Stephen, and Drake. Josh not so much) would have if they were actually given a decent storyline.

Re: Marlena ethereal arrival with "Susan" scenes What the hell (no pun intended) did I watch? 🤯 In fairness, I saw the Twitter clip first. Said to my 12-year-old, "I think I have to see this." Little Peanut replied, "Oh we can't not watch that craziness." Several minutes into the scene and Marlena is still confused where she is and Little Peanuts says, "Seriously Marlena, put the pieces together." I agreed, Doc was pretty dense. Then again, if I was greeted at the Pearly Gates by the woman who puked on my floor I might also be a little baffled about where I was too, clouds and all white not withstanding. Of course, I questioned if they actually were supposed to be in heaven, cause you know, the devil with buck teeth isn't usually something you expect to see there either. (On a side note, Ron might want to adjust the old devil voice distorter, Susan-devil's laugh still sounded a lot like Kristin's.) Little Peanut feels most of the Salemites should probably be in hell for one or twenty of the infractions they've probably committed in their multiple lifetimes anyways. Or because it would just be fun to see their sanctimonious heroine and hero asses there. And while I sat there trying to figure out where Doc and the devil were supposed to be and where this whole mess is headed, I thought once again that surely when some NBC exec saw this storyline a few months ago they said "RIP the once great Days of our Lives," and the move to Peacock deal was sealed.

I tuned in for Monday's episode only because Orpheus was in it. Great lines as always. Everything else reminded me why I never make time for it now that it's on Peacock. Something struck me during Kayla and Roman's "final" scenes...Kim. I guess they'll come up with some flimsy excuse for why she won't make her sister's funeral. This dying storyline is silly, and not having the proper cast for the funeral scene is all the more reason to leave it on the cutting room floor. And on the note of Salem losing it's only doctor, during the ep I tossed out maybe Ron should make a cameo as the ladies' doctor. Would be fitting that he played a role in his ludacris thing. My oldest asked, "Do you think he could be any good at acting?" "Not if it's anything like his writing," I replied.

This! Angela still has a wall of missing girls in her office, and while Kurt's "my dad did it" defense might be enough reasonable doubt to get him a jury acquittal, it doesn't explain why he made fake claims about his son being alive to call off the search before it reached the cave or what happened to the rest of the girls who disappeared long after Kurt's father was dead. And yet instead of continuing to investigate Kurt and build a stronger case that the DA is willing to move forward on, Angela is basically watching Unsolved Mysteries and googling the stories. Her police motivations are rooted in emotional responses to personal trials. The fact that she lost interest in the slew of missing girls after her friend was found is a perfect example. She only had interest in them because of Iris and once she got that closure she was done. Now her attention is focused on Jim/Dexter, another personal issue for her.

I was okay with Angela's character till this point. and then her response to "Jim's story" didn't sit well with me and my fellow living room viewers. She definitely made it about her, and she kinda shamed a man who basically sat there and explained that he was depressed and suicidal when he made those decisions. I realize the viewers know there's way more to the story than that, but as an officer of the law who sometimes gets the call that initially deals with those type of situations as well as an adoptive parent herself, I felt like she should have had a little more empathy and understanding. From the edited and abbreviated story he told, "Jim" wasn't in the right state of mind and mental health to raise a small boy so he left him in what he believed was the capable care of his stepmother to give him a chance at a better life. All I could think was that he tarnished her whole cop sex role play. 😂 Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Sir Psycho Sexy" is at serious risk of becoming their break-up song! 🎵 I got stopped by a lady cop In my automobile She said get out and spead your legs And then she tried to cop a feel That cop she was all dressed in blue... He's a freak of nature But we love him so He's a freak of nature But we let him go 🎵 They really needed at the very least a throw-away line to acknowledge their existence. The lack thereof has been bugging me. I can only hope maybe they are saving them for a potential future season.

I was referring to Duke the cowboy bear that Rafe won Nicole and then Ava cut its head off. lol But knowing Ron, I could also see that bear getting inseminated before its head is sewn back on and it has a threesome.

Sadly, this is Ron so it's more likely the doll will have a threesome with Duke and Chuckie.

Susan can read minds now? When did she become Sookie Stackhouse? Or he represents the viewers who are rooting for Ava to kill most of the Salemites and end this shitshow.🤔

Also Robert Clary who played Dr. Robin Jacobs's uncle Robert LeClare in the '70s and '80s has passed away. He was 96.

I was thinking the same thing earlier! They should have built up Victor's family better over the years. I believe Wally is doing double duty on Days and GH, but I hope they can work it out that he plays a prominent role in Victor's death reveal/tribute. I really hope it doesn't become a plot to prop Zander as he and Brady and Sonny/Alex fight over control of the company like the Dimeras do on a regular basis. Edited to Add: I hope JKJ comes back too since he played alongside JA on and off years as Philip, who I actually forgot about at the moment.

So Bo will return to Salem to say, "hey folks, guess what? I'm alive. Sure sucks about dad though. I didn't even get to pass him along the way." 🙄 This is where I draw the line w/Days's suspension of disbelief. Characters who fake their death (or someone faked it) on a soap are one thing, but the characters who are actually shown in the great beyond and come back is just ludicrous writing. It will be nice to see PR again, but the plot to make it happen (along with Doc, Sweetness, and Sneezy's trip to the big top) are just too hokey for me. I wonder though how long after the last episode John Aniston filmed that they will write his death into the show. Will we see him one day and learn he's passed the next? (Another depressing holiday storyline!) Or will it be several weeks later till it's revealed.

Given how disjointed many of Days's normal transitions/scene cuts are, it won't surprise me if we get a grieving Maggie showing up at Zander and Sarah's door with the news of Victor's passing out of the blue. I suppose it wouldn't technically be unrealistic given Victor's age for it to be abrupt news, though I think I'd prefer the delivery of it be between Maggie and Justin (since he's been on the show w/John since the 80s) revealing that Victor passed unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep.

Just heard the John Aniston news too. Very sad. Hope Days gives him a proper tribute.

Nicole is a forty-something woman knocking softly on the door to menopause and with a history of failed pregnancies to boot. The one miracle kid she does have she never spends any time with. I tuned in to see the Halloween stuff and rolled my eyes at how she ditched plans with Holly for time with Eric work. Please Ron, don't give this woman any more kids. Hers or other women's!

Glad we aren't going down the too many times traveled Princess Gina road, but originally they said the Beyond Salem stuff was just extra and you didn't have to watch it to follow the normal show. Now the storylines are crossing over more and more. 🙄 As if Ron's writing isn't convoluted enough.

Sounds like the power of suggestion has duped quite a few viewers. It's like tell someone you gave them medicine, they feel better, but really they only had the placebo. Personally I think the episodes airing on Peacock are worse. And it would explain why NBC moved them there so quickly rather than airing on network what was already filmed.

My reactions to the promo: 1. Once all three ladies died, I knew it wasn't gonna stick, but I'm bummed that they didn't all end up on Orpheus's island instead of this angel crap. Would much rather look at GD in casual wear surrounded by fake vegetation on a tropical set for Christmas than fake heaven. 2. Wow, what a depressing holiday storyline. Everyone mourns and the town's only grief counselor is dead. 3. Who is Hope about to kiss? Is that John??? Oh gawd she's not going to be Princess Gina again is she! 🙄 4. Did someone bomb Sweet Bits? If so, I better see Town Square?...Salem Place?....whatever the hell they call that set raining Alice's donuts. 5. EJ and Nicole in bed together: 🤢🤮 But then.... I kinda think so too based off their reactions, but then I remember that Nicole also slept with Zander, a man she hates, when she was feeling lonely and sorry for herself so there's that. Was reminisce of Bo's death too. Another upbeat holiday [Thanksgiving} storyline. I couldn't have said that better myself. What a complete and utter bitch. 😄 Too funny and too true! I think it's not coming till Jan or Feb. So maybe in the New Year promo. This is probably still all stuff filmed for normal TV.

Susan will probably really be alive. Just like everyone else who has been dead on this show. Case in point, Marlena and EJ are two "dead" people consoling each other on Thanksgiving.

100% with you. I've never liked Nicole so anything that screws with her life is....well karma. This is where I could actually stomach CIN for a moment if they appeared only to spout their 'it's fate' verbal vomit to Eric.
