I started this blog November 2015 because of one particular episode that I was so astonished by, I could scarcely believe that it had been written that way (see Featured Post below). I wanted to send a MESSAGE TO THE WRITERS of Days that they need to shape up, or this soap might very well go the way of my old favorites All My Children and One Life to Live. Help me help this show by reading my blog, commenting - offer your opinion to the writers - and let's make Days better than it's ever been!

Ok, so it appears that Damos and Phillip are both plotting against Victor. Not sure what that's about. While at the cabin, Ciara looks at Chase's phone and sees that he is the one sending Theo all those mean texts; she is mad and throws his phone at him. He leaves the cabin. Steven believes he has a lead on finding his and Ava's son; he vows to get Kayla home safe. Hope and Ciara talk about what Chase has done; must be a really troubled young man, Hope figures. Phillip tells Belle that Damos is forcing him to work with him, against Victor - he swears he loves his grandfather and doesn't want to but has no choice. Steven offers to go away with Ava to look for their son, if she will just let Kayla go now; she considers, asking, what if I did? Damos taunts Victor; apparently, he is holding some grudge from thirty years ago. Ciara gets ahold of Chase on the phone; he's planning on leaving town. Eve is coaching Belle's daughter, Claire, in singing for Juliard - Belle sees them hugging and doesn't like it at all, I can tell.

I'm sorry I'm running behind... I'll try to keep up better
in the future; but truly not too much has happened these past couple of
weeks, so that's a good thing for me.
I really like the idea that Brady is having dreams of Daniels memories; but Nichol is sure torn up - I hurt for her. Now, as Andre was searching for his father, in the very place he happened to be, a demolition crew imploded part of the building; chunks of concrete fell right on top of Andre... but, of course, he made it out with only a few minor scratches on his face - although, he just pulled a big chunk of glass (?) out of his cheek. He calls on Chad for help; Chad refuses to come. He calls a doctor to the house instead, who claims he can't stitch him up if they aren't at the hospital, so he puts a loosely placed patch over the cut instead.
Victor's brother, Damos, shows up in town - I remember this actor from All My Children. Eric is released from the hospital and immediately turns himself in; he is arrested for drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter. Brady goes home with Theresa.
Melanie comes back for Daniel's funeral (I had forgotten she was his daughter). Brady acts like he is barely even happy to see her; she is acting like it's perfectly normal that he and Teresa are together now, like it doesn't bother her at all. That's truly unbelievable...it just simply wouldn't be so! And now Brady is reassuring Theresa that SHE is the one he loves... ick; are you kidding me?
Theirs was the ultimate love story (Mel and Brady). It was portrayed as a never-dying love that could withstand anything and wouldn't just fade away. This love would have survived the time, and the distance - and the invasion of Theresa; but no, the writer's have to go and ruin it.
Melanie is so beautiful...but she sure plays a mousy part - barely speaking above a whisper at any given time; still, I don't understand why they couldn't have had her stand by Brady's side after bringing home the baby. Geeze, even if the actress just wanted off the show, they could have re-cast her part; other soaps have done it plenty of times... Lulu and Carly from OLTL have each been played by three different people! So now it looks like Abby's mom is tempted by the pain pills. Does she have a past with addiction? If so, it was before my time as a Days viewer.
Ugh, the memories of Daniel and Nichole are making me bawl! It is just so sad. He was such a nice guy; and now Eric shows up at her door, asking for forgiveness. I don't blame her a bit for her reaction. Wow... that was actually kind of cruel of the writers, to have the man she once loved, kill the man she was about to marry. Honestly, not cool.
Chad and Abby are looking for a place of their own - is he serious about buying the mansion??
Little Parker is getting more and more adorable, every time they bring him on the show; Melanie is happy to see him at least. Hope decides to take the kids to their family cabin in the woods, just to get away from things; Rafe decides to go with them. It's probably a good thing. Something's bound to happen. Now, what is Andre looking for in Hope's house - and who is that? She has a son?? Wow, there's apparently still a lot about this show that I don't know.

Week Ending 1-22
So quite a bit went on this week... Eric is having nightmares about the accident; Brady is dreaming about Nicole. Phillip whisked Belle away to Vegas for the weekend - not much of Chad and Abby this week. 'Mom' is having back spasms; Chad takes her to the hospital. The doctor says it could have been serious (there is swelling); points for Chad. Hope decides to quit the force? She 'confessed' to shooting the man in the park that she supposedly didn't really shoot; charges against her were dropped for lack of evidence. Andre demands an investigation into his father's disappearance, bringing in evidence - a smear of blood on a small statue.
Eric visits Daniel in the morgue; promises to "make it right" - how can he make this mess right? Claire tries to get her dad to get back with her mom; John Black finally found his birth mother and is learning about his biological father... when he passes out. He was faking (thankfully, he smelled the poison in his drink). A former employer/ nemesis is there; John overcomes him and leaves his mom's COLDLY. Ciara notices the sexual tension between Hope and Rafe; she gets the idea to get them together. I've always thought they should be together. J. J. and Gabby are getting very close.
As the week ends, Andre insists, to Chad, that something has happened to their father. Chad has a talk with Hope. Abby's mom is now taking pain killers (I see an addiction coming on). Hope is now haunted by the memory of killing Stephano - so she does remember it, vividly. Andre goes looking for his dad, somehow, deducing that he might find a clue in the abandoned warehouse that seems to be attached to the mansion. While in there, a demolition crew blows part of it up? What??

Week Ending 1-15
This week starts out with Ava telling Steve that the child in the pictures is his son; she wants him to find the child. Chad spontaneously proposes to Abby; she accepts. Victor offers to pay for a new hospital wing, in Daniel's name; he insists on bringing Brady home to recover - Brady refuses. Hope shoots Stephano (supposedly in a moment of insanity), claiming a black-out... but boy, did she pull that trigger with vigor - she was pent up with rage. Rafe helps Hope cover up Stephano's murder.
Abby tells her mom and J.J. that she and Chad are getting married; they are less than thrilled. She mentions that there had been a cancellation on Valentine's Day, so that's when they were having the wedding - but mom reminds her that was when Daniel and Nichole were going to get married. Hope now decides that her best chance of getting away with Stephano's murder is to confess to the murder she supposedly didn't commit? Thinks this will keep the focus off of Stephano; not sure that's smart.
Chad is sure taking a lot of chances, being back at the family mansion (and alone, with his brother, Andre)... why would they go there to make love?? How dumb. Rafe and Hope review their plan. Chad tells Abby he has moved out of the mansion. Joey tells Ava he loves her; she tells him she is dying and makes him leave. Kayla is standing at her door; Ava clocks her over the head!
