He victim blamed Orpheus's wife when "re-telling" (retconning a bit) the story of how she died. Claimed it was her fault for being there and not calling out her name when she tried to warm him and her husband that their clandestine mission was in danger. So basically, she was trying to help save his ass, got shot and killed by him for her efforts, and Roman acted like he was still put-out that she didn't call out, "It's Mrs. Harp! Let me just get my ID out of my purse along with the secret info I've got for you." Also, he seemed to have an unhealthy interest in why his grown son was so sweaty.

Yep, over twenty-five years of him playing Roman Brady and yet I still think of Chris Kostichek when he's on screen....well until the last few episodes and then I just think 'what an asshole' when I see him.

NBC just keeps pissing off viewers: https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/days-of-our-lives-fans-in-a-lather-after-last-ever-episode-on-nbc-interrupted-by-king-charles-speech/ar-AA11EQ6b?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=d6c60e20579741cbbe86ac4ea439ec28 My favorite 🙄 part: "Thursday's episode was also bumped for live coverage of the queen's death. NBC reran it at 3 a.m. Friday." Because people who watch live daytime TV are also up at 3am! 🙄 On a side note, my local channel got the first half hour of Thursday's show in before NBC interrupted. Ironically running at the bottom of the screen the whole time was a note confirming DOOL's move to Peacock on the 12th and basically telling viewers that they needed to contact NBC directly about complaints. They provided the number. 😀

Based off the promo, I don't think most of it will make me want to tune into Peacock. Rerun Ron is at it again with the road crashes. I am curious though who all is pictured on the road with drugged up Jennifer. Is that Brady? Susan or Kate? I know the one is Ava, and at one time I would have never have said this, but I hope she doesn't get killed as she's actually none of the few I like these days. Other thoughts: -Nicole is so going to screw Eric on the conference table like she did Rafe. Chloe better break out the bleach. -Jada is probably pregnant

I'm not disagreeing that Bo's death was possibly short sighted and dumb. Ludacris the way it played out if I'm being honest. I remember it went something like he made a road trip on a motorcycle with Steve, saved Hope from peril, had sex with Hope, saw his family, had sex with Hope again, got a brain tumor diagnosis from Kayla, told Rafe to look after his wife, and then died in the park moments after telling Hope he was dying. I was just saying that I recall that PR had been off for a while and they decided to stop writing excuses for where Bo was and finally settle the character. So they got him to come back for the big 50th and kill off his character. My impression was that TPTB probably thought it was a good idea (ratings and buzz) at the time and PR was fine with it cause he wasn't even living in L.A. by then, didn't plan to work full time acting again, and the DOOL streaming specials weren't a thing yet. Now I've not watched any of the streaming specials so I am confused how they undid or are going to undo his death since we just saw him on the show as a ghost/angel appearing to CIN and saving Tripp.

I thought PR was on board with the idea of killing Bo off, specifically came back in '15 to do so, because he and his wife moved away from LA and weren't planning on coming back. Given that, I suspect that he's open to coming back and doing these specials because he can simply make a short trip to LA, rather than live there, given the way the DOOL specials film.

NBC seems to interrupt the show for every "breaking news" event they can latch on to whether it really is breaking news (as in critical information happening in the moment) or something that transpired hours earlier, has already been all over internet news, and will be featured on evening news a few hours later. So if the last two days of Days of Our Lives airing on network TV before being sent off to streaming is interrupted and/or disrupted and preempted by more "breaking news" it really will be a final reminder of a major factor of what (news coverage) helped tank the once popular soap genre.

It boggles my mind that a culture so obsessed with pregnancy is so ignorant about it at the same time. Why would anyone who's been having sex less than a year need to spend so much money on pregnancy tests! It makes it seem like they are not only so stupid that they don't understand their own bodies, but that they also can't use the internet or an app these days that would tell you when your period is actually late enough that it might be useful to take a test.

This! 100% Some of those blind bag mystery toys popular with kids today are a more interesting reveal than these gender reveal parties and announcements. They come off so pompous. I personally am of the camp that feels finding out at birth is far more special. I cherish not knowing till that moment.

If they are going to put John's gray-haired chest on display for his afternoon delight with Doc all episode, it should at least serve a plot-driven purpose...like Jennifer is popping his blue pills. 🤣

If she couldn't walk (or speed walk) a treadmill without passing out, it doesn't seem like she should be fit to travel. I wonder if she really did have an incident or she just faked it because knowing Carlin she probably thought it was a good time for an event.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing. In some states anything hanging from the rear-view mirror is illegal. (I still remember the fuzzy dice days.) Let's hope they drive through PA on the way to NJ and get pulled over.

Victim…survivor…let’s try target. I really don't think Jada or Kate accurately labeled what Kate is to Orpheus at the moment. Speaking of, has Orpheus unleashed the Salem version of Covid from the Wilheim lab? Comments from the mini peanut gallery (re: Jarlena): “I don’t care if they were a super couple back in the 80s, I don’t want to see these gray-haired people in bed all day. Ugh!” My pre-teen may have identified a major reason this show struggles with younger viewers. 😁

She doesn't need a c-section to get her tubes tied after birth. Any kind of delivery will do as long as she has the kid in the hospital with a doctor. Since she has the heart issue, I assume Alyssa does hospital births and not home ones. Personally, I wish these fundies would embrace hubby vasectomy appointment reveals.

So I'm not the only one who thought Rafe's remark about making "things sticky" wasn't just in the legal sense?

Anybody have a current cast list? I'll just cross off the few who aren't annoying.

I questioned some of their conversation wasn't legally sound too. Did Rafe even put out an APB on him? Agree, I was left wondering if I missed a previous scene where Jennifer got the bottle or even took a pill. Ron's pacing on stories is awful. "Build up" is clearly not a word in his writing dictionary. Also agree that the pills were hardly discarded. All she did was drop the closed bottle in a trashcan for paper trash. Maybe Maggie could have tossed them in a public trash bin instead. I don't really see Jennifer Rose going dumpster diving, addiction or not. Agree too. Now that Abigail and Ciara are gone, it seems that Stephanie is stepping up to fill the entitled brat role.

Ditto! She should be in her early thirties but she acts like she's barely out of high school. Her attitude is really grating. I can't believe they couldn't find a better characterization for Stayla's kid. Nevermind, yes, I can. The legacy kids are typically the worst. Case in point, Ciara.

RoJohn told the story back in the 80s during the Stockholm storyline (the bonds storyline) when the memory came back to him and he remembered what actually went down and why Orpheus was after him. It was established that in 1979, he and Orpheus were ISA partners on some case that dealt with these treasury bonds and Russian spies. Rebecca somehow came across some information that affected their mission (I think about the Russians) and came out to warn them. Back then Roman (RoJohn) treated her death as a bad mistake/accident. He compared her to Marlena and the other Salemite heroines who tended to get involved/help in the adventures/mysteries of that time. He seemed genuinely remorseful, not this jackassy she-shouldn't-have-been there crap that Chris Kostichek Roman spouted.

I was referring to the color scheme, bedding, plants, and lamps--all look like an adult's style, not something that would interest a kid. Incidentally though, the other week on HGTV's No Demo Reno, the designer used that wood paneling on the bottom half of the wall for her 3 year old's room; however, she painted it pink. She gave the cost, which I forget the exact amount, but it wasn't cheap. It added quite a bit to the reno budget so Carlin using it just seems like an extra expense for something a toddler also wouldn't care about.

Carlin clearly does not realize that her kid isn't thirty yet. That's an adult bedroom design style not a toddler's.

*hands you the remote and takes a seat next to you* " Let's fast forward to the 14th where it all comes to an end. See I'd take Orpheus and Kristin any day over Zander. I like that they at least own their bad deeds. Orpheus, in particular, makes no apologies. Never has and hopefully never will. They are villains and that's the way they should be. It's Zander being turned into a romantic lead that turns my stomach.

Orpheus’s wife died in ’79, but their kids don’t look old enough to have been born before the eighties. #ThingsRonProbablyShouldn’tRemind ViewersOf Evan and Zoe should be in their forties. While I always enjoy Orpheus episodes, the geriatric white knights were laughable. First, they struggle to do letter puzzles with basic math and then they guessed colors while snipping bomb wires instead of just carrying the ladies out of there to safety. Clearly, they were worried about throwing out their backs since Orpheus didn’t include Ben-Gay in his adventure game package. Dear Retcon Ron, Victim blaming isn’t cool. So Rebecca was supposed to call out her presence yet alone her name when arriving to warn her husband and his partner during a dangerous clandestine mission. Seriously? Back in the day, RoJohn did credit her for being brave and trying to help them. But now Chris Kositcheck Roman is treating her death like it was her fault he’s trigger happy. Also, Orpheus called out to try and stop him. Seems Roman has forgotten that in his old age. Guess John forgot it too since he also has Roman’s memories. Sincerely, Please Watch Old Episodes More Closely Stephanie has told the ‘ex who ghosted me’ story twice in two consecutive days (1 day in Salem based off that awful pants suit she’s still wearing). Yep, he’s so gonna show up in town soon. How many times are we going to have to sit through ‘Dimera Enterprises calls a board meeting vote?’ Does Ron not realize it’s pretty pathetic that the company named after Salem’s big bad for decades has been reduced to fighting over who runs a hooker-ware clothing line. Yep, he's still playing Ben.

Ditto on the above, especially the bold. NuEJ comes off as a cry-baby, constantly trying to soothe his wounded ego. If the show was so intent to bring EJ back on canvas (without JS) knowing AS only pops back for limited runs, then they should have made Allie and Johnny teenagers and focused on EJ trying to raise them (as well as maybe a preteen Sydney). We could have gotten an introductory scene where Sami got some international business job offer that was too good to pass up (establishing a good reason for why Sami comes and goes) and EJ telling her that she took care of him during his recovery, so they'll return to Salem and he'll take care of the kids now and then have him find out how hard it is to raise teenagers. This would have given viewers better character establishment of grown Allie and Johnny by starting them on screen younger (plus they don't act like adults half the time now) and created plenty of conflict as Johnny butted heads with EJ and Allie resented him as a step-dad. Maybe the Chanel triangle would have been less annoying too if she'd have met them both at Salem High. I too noticed MM's look/hair was cuter yesterday.

Anyone think the Li reference makes him Ab's killer??? https://www.dayscafe.com/spoilers-this-week.html Week of Sept 5: https://www.dayscafe.com/weekly-spoilers.html
