Dear Kerry: we're with you.

Please don't speak for everyone.  The guy did this just over a failed hookup.  I'm not with him.  I don't even like Leo, but that's pettier than petty.

I mean. He's posting spoilers. The way he got them was bad but on the scale of Salem crimes it rates about a 1

[DisneyBoy]

I speak for everyone!

I am your representative!!

Kerry's motivation makes no sense, because a gay man in that kind of shape could have his pick of anyone and would not care at all about Leo, much less waste time getting revenge on him for being too weepy to get it on, when he could just go get laid with other, younger, less dramatic guys instead!!!

This is all being done to make Leo appear desirable, which he is not!!!!

I have spoken!!!!!

You're not?!?  Well, Land's sakes and Mercy Maude and I DO declare!

Yankees in Georgia, how did they ever get in??

Fetch me the smelling salts.

That's why I'm not with him on this.

But on that part, I do agree.  He's not attractive or desirable in any way.

[Giuseppe]

I think Leo's plenty attractive, lol. I don't know why he likes to wear grandpa cardigans, though.

I really want to like Leo because I like Greg R. I loved him when he first started and was trying to set up Sonny for sexual harassment or whatever that story was. But then they turned him into a constant quip-quoting cartoon and he just hasn't been enjoyable since. IMO of course, lest I get accused of speaking for everyone ;)

Well, I'll never be accused of speaking for everyone because I'm one of the few here that loves Greg and his ability to remember all that dialogue with a rapid fire delivery. And by extension, I love Leo. 

 

[DisneyBoy]

He does get though his dialogue well, I'll give him that. He just can't make it funny. As previously stated, it's too cartoony and forced.

Kate really needs to be on the show more.

[methodwriter85]

I feel like I liked Leo the best when they were clearly flirting with the idea of putting him with Zac Tinker's Sonny.

[DisneyBoy]

I *hated* that. After what he did to him? Nope. They'd have needed crazy chemistry to get away with that, which didn't see.

I don't remember minding Leo with....the guy who left? Mr Von L? They were okay but he was also way out of Leo's league.

He's really never had chemistry with anyone.

So...I guess Jada will be marrying an imposter? Lame. Although, Arnold does seem slightly more lively than Rafe.

I missed Bonnie's fall. Is this being done to reveal her as Adrienne, ya think? I can't figure the purpose of this. She's on so little now...

[Retired at last]

I know there is something going on with Bonnie. I just read the summaries and with all the sounds "Bonnie" is making, it has to be that she is not Bonnie. So, it's either Hattie, or now I am thinking Adrienne? I really don't care and it is getting harder to even want to read the summaries any more with all the B&S BS. And the focus on other unlikeable or incapable characters/actors.

[brisbydog]

I love that Sarah thought she was putting a responsible person in charge of Xander but instead she has basically unleashed them to team up to do their worst. Xander citing Kristen using the orchid as bait for Kate's life was a master stroke of manipulation.  

 Good episode though. Bonnie got on my nerves as did the frequent flashbacks padding out part 2  

EJ's thinly veiled patience with Arnold is a hoot.

[DisneyBoy]

Judi looked horrible in that bed :( Makeup department really delivered. I could hardly look at her. Made me so sad, especially after that hospitalization she went through irl a few years ago.

I should be excited about a hostile takeover/revenge story, but history tells me it'll amount to a bunch of scenes about vaguely defined work stuff and lots of cheap shots and huffing and puffing in living rooms. Oh, and the obligatory "stocks are up/down 8%!" proclamations. Kristen should be woefully incapable of standing up to at least Philip, who, unlike her, has years of corporate experience. But this will still somehow be a long, vague fight.

I mean, what does DiMera traffic in, anyway? Rubber face masks? Island timeshares?

I suppose. But what's the plan here? Killing Rafe? How else to get away with this?

Arnold obviously cannot pull off this pretense long-term or convincingly fake being a police commissioner.

And I really don't buy that EJ wants to be DA again so desperately. I see him wanting to be CEO.

I liked Leo best when his name was Kevin and he was still on Y&R and I'd learned how to tune him out.

Then he must have gone into Witness Protection and  got a summer job in Salem.

Then he moved there.......

Dmitri I did like him not necessarily with Leo but in general.

Rafe isn't the commissioner.  Jada is.

[Rodney]

Sounds like, after Kayla's rant on Philip, Sarah's regretting keeping her mouth shut.  Oops.

Oof.  I only just finished watching the episode on Peacock.  E.J. is going to be in a lot of trouble when this one comes out.

This sort of “replace X with Y” is soooooo stupid!  Hello, it’s not like X has all the memories/shared experiences with Y. Something like that would be found out IRL pronto.  The only way to get away with it is everybody  - everybody knows Original Recipe person has near total amnesia, then you can swap the person with someone else.
