The bad:
Every single scene involving Rafe and Hope. The most horrid pairing in Days history. Yes, even worse than Shayla.
The friendship between Abby and Andre. I'm all for soap friendships, even unusual ones. But this is way beyond bizarre and awful.
Joe Mascolo's last ever scenes were wasted in that terrible Shane as Stefano storyline.
Shane going to extreme lengths to get murderer Hope out of prison, but can't be bothered to protect his own daughter.
The plane crash. Seriously, there were people wearing white who never even got a smudge of dirt on them.
The good:
Will is alive
Storylines for JJ and Lucas, both of whom have been wasted too long.
Kassie back as Eve. Honestly I loathe the whole Kiriakis clan, but I'm happy to see Eve again.
Dena Higley was finally fired and hopefully will never be allowed near any soap again.
