SPOILER !! Week July 19

[DrBakerFan]

Xander busts up Nicole and Eric’s anniversary celebration. [Why bother? He could just sit back and enjoy the show as their marriage inevitably self-destructs.]

Ben, Allie, and Claire team up to stop Ciara from making a big mistake. [Why don't they add Chanel to the team? Her job would be to seduce the clueless Mr. Man-Bun.]

Brady fires Xander. [This is typically dumb move by Brady. From all appearances, Xander was the only one at BB that actually did any work. In any case, Xander was too good for this shabby excuse for a business.]

Paulina has big news for Abe and Lani. [Hopefully, it's that she and her big mouth are leaving town permanently.]

Lucas makes an admission to Sami. [What, that his trysts with her just weren't as exciting as they were years ago?]

 

[Old Cowgirl]

It would be funny if EJ and Lucas both turn their backs on Sami.

 

[gramcracker]

If things go as planned, Days won't be from July 23 to Aug 6 because of the Olympics.

Maybe we will all get used to not seeing it, and quit watching!!

 

[thelindaj]

Never have, never will.

 

[oldsoapie]

Same with me. I will watch as long as it is on. Not sure why some keep watching.

 

[TinaY]

While preparing for her wedding, Ciara gets into an altercation with Claire.

How on earth can Ciara be preparing for a wedding? Even if Ben signed the divorce papers, they wouldn't be in effect right away. What wedding?

I hate this storyline.

 

[Jungle Madness]

Brady fires Xander. [This is typically dumb move by Brady. From all appearances, Xander was the only one at BB that actually did any work. In any case, Xander was too good for this shabby excuse for a business.]

Indeed he was which seems to be a pattern with Xander. He actually *gasp* shows up for his jobs on time and does more than gossip or take personal phone calls.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

As I recall, he did a bang-up job at Titan, only to be half-replaced by the embezzling addict, Philip.

How on earth can Ciara be preparing for a wedding?

On any other planet rather than Planet Salem with its wacky laws, I'd say this is proof that she and Theo are running a con to protect her from Ben.

 

[redsquirrel]

The whole Theo/Ciara engagement and wedding just turns my stomach. Theo is disgusting with feeding Ciara's bad memories and trying to prevent her from remembering her love for Ben. As others have already said, Theo can take his man bun and go straight back to South Africa by himself.

 

[oldsoapie]

I agree Theo can go back to South Africa but I want him to take Ben and Ciara with him.

 

[robinsnest]

Guess Theo and cranky/horrible woman will have a "promise" ceremony just so Ben can kidnap the cranky/horrible woman because they truly wuv each other and Ron thinks that will be romantic.

It won't be.

 

[soapkitty]

Ben could kidnap me and I would count it as romantic!

I would truly wuv him or ravage him!

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Ron does like ripping off classic supercouple stories, sans the budget, effects, set design, acting ability, dialogue skill, or pathos.

 

[dachsie21]

Maybe he will recreate the Bo-Hope scene with him whisking her away on the motorcycle.

 

[Just Samantha]

Or Jack grabbing Jennifer away from her wedding to Emilio, on the back of a fire truck.

 

[redsquirrel]

Same with me. I will watch as long as it is on. Not sure why some keep watching.

Me, too. I keep saying that I'll stop watching if the show doesn't get better, but I'll still watch as long as the show is on.

As a "Days Oner", I've made it through some horrific stories. The worst to me was the Garden of Eden junk with Princess Greta until Ron and his crew took over. Now there are several plots that I feel are just as bad if not worse.

Many hated Marlena being possessed, but at least the cheesy special effects were amusing to me.

 

[Poirot]

LOL, that Garden of Eden story was absolutely the worst, until now, when several stories are vying for that title. lol. And yep. absolutely HATED the Possession story (which is Deidre Hall's/Marlena favorite). Days no longer has the budget to do any sort of extravagant scenes any more....heck, if a motorcycle is in a scene, always standing still. LOL

 

[sportzgirl916]

So is Theo still autistic? Seems like the writers forgot this. I realize he may be high-functioning but there are zero signs at all, especially as my nephew is a high-functioning autistic, but you can still tell.

 

[Just Samantha]

With the man-bun recast, seems like they've kind of ignored the fact that Theo is autistic.

 

[KathyLu]

So is Theo still autistic?

I asked this same question weeks ago but no one seems to know the answer. I guess it went the way of Jennifer's scar and Philip's leg. Ah....Salem.
