Forgive me if I have missed stuff, I haven't seen all the episodes of Days the past few weeks.
Stefano is back!! I am so excited about this. I can't wait for him to up and around and causing trouble. The Bradys have had it easy while he was gone. Now he's back - look out Salem!
I like the Sami/EJ dynamic, but I LOVE Lumi so I hope that Sami and EJ don't end up together. I think Sami and Lucas have such an amazing chemistry together. Lumi fans have waited so long for them to finally be together and happy, it just isn't fair to tear them apart now. I am interested in the origins of the DiMera/Brady vendetta.
Shawn/Belle/Phillip/Claire: Enough already!! I am so sick of these people. They finally find Claire and instead of calling the Salem PD Belle calls that mom and gets her to come back? Phillip is the only one with any sense (scary!) he called the cops. This whole thing has just dragged on for much too long. And I HATE how they wrapped up the Willow storyline. I am so happy that they killed her off, but they could have done it in a better way. And of course Shawn finds out he actually wasn't the baby's father. If that DNA lab was in the real world it would have been shut down a long time ago. Anyone can fake a DNA test in Salem. Gloria on Y&R should have insisted that lab do her DNA test, she wouldn't have had to switch samples herself.
Nick/Chelsea/teens teens teens: Ugh! Could Nick and Chelsea go back and forth any more than they have? Nick is just not written well. The actor isn't exactly great either, and with bad material to begin with, it's worse. I am bored with them. Either get together or break up, but make a decision already. The rest of the teens bore me and I just tune them out.
Lexie is back. Apparently she was in a tunnel for the past few months. Okay then. Why was she wailing like that? Where is the voice changer she must have been using to sound like she did before Bo went down there after her? If she was that hysterical she wouldn't have been able to recognize Hope so quickly. Did EJ put her down there?
I refuse to comment on John Black.
One last thing. If Nick had been the father of Willow's baby, she would have given birth to a huge pair of lips.

Y&R/Days thoughts.
Y&R
Joshua Morrow (Nick) has signed a new 5-year deal. I'm extremely happy about that. I like Josh and the character of Nick, even though he has come across as a bit whipped lately. Hopefully with the news that Phyllis knew of Sharon and Brad's affair and the blackmail, he will show a bit of a spine where she is concerned.
"I'm happy to know where I'm going to be for the next five years," says Morrow. "For me, it's all about staying home with my family. I love being able to take my kids to school and pick them up most days."
This was a good week on Y&R. Daniel has developed an addiction to porn and is spending his time surfing sites, chatting with other women and flirting with Amber. Lily is on to him though, she's found naughty pictures in his cell phone, porn pop-ups on his computer and just found out he has a secret email address. He's been able to explain away the pop-ups and pictures but Lily isn't buying his excuses anymore. Next week he will have to answer for this, and I hope he admits the truth and doesn't use some lame excuse that Lily just blindly believes.
Of course, Sharon almost died but she is recovering now. Dru is missing and presumed dead. I think that her body won't be found, therefore leaving the door open for Victoria Rowell to return in the future if she wants, or a recast for the character if that's how the show decides to go.
Not too many scenes with Cane, Jill and Katherine but there were a few developments. The DA decided he didn't want to charge Katherine for the kidnapping because of Cane's words. Cane has decided to forgive Katherine but Jill isn't ready.
Michael, Lauren, Nick and Phyllis are starting to reconcile. I'm happy about that because I really like the interaction between the four of them. I hope Michael has a bigger storyline coming up, he's one of my favorites.
There were also a few scenes with the rarely seen Noah. He's a cute kid and his scenes were enjoyable. I'm sure after next week he'll go back to sleepovers at his friend's houses every other day and we won't see him again until they need to bring him out as a plot device.
All in all I am enjoying the show and am looking forward to the upcoming months.
Days of Our Lives
I watched Days this week but I missed bits and pieces. As far as I can tell nothing of major signifigance happened, at least nothing I am interested in.
I am not into the Patch/Kayla storyline. I liked them when they were on the show previously but this whole "Steve in the mental hospital" storyline is doing nothing for me.
Belle, Shawn and Claire are still on the run and Philip is still somehow able to track them no matter where they end up. This guy needs to go work for the FBI because he can track a fugitive like no one else I've ever seen. He's almost like an evil Jack Bauer. If only he would use his powers for good instead of evil....
Abby + Max = EWWWWWW! But Jack was back briefly, which was cool. I wish he and Jen were back full time. Matthew Ashford ROCKS and was always one of my favorites.
Kate is still not liking Sami and still doesn't think she is good enough for her son. Lucas is still blind to the fact that something is going on with Sami and EJ and buys everything she says. Don't get me wrong, I love Sami, she is probably my favorite character on the soaps. I am hoping she gets her wedding but I won't hold my breath. The fact that they are involving TheKnot.com does bode well but this is Sami and weddings have never worked out well for that poor girl. She has also been plotting with Celeste to kill EJ so she and Lucas can get married, have their baby and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, EJ is a Dimera so I doubt their little plan will work. Plus her baby is most likely a Dimera too.
Something I wanted to bring up is that Sami doesn't have much of a family to speak of. Her mother didn't even attend her wedding shower. I am not surprised that she turned out to be a troubled girl and think she's doing remarkably well considering her absentee parents.
Willow is still a filthy skank.
Chelsea convinced Nick to steal the evidence - her hairbrush - from the fire at Bo and Hope's. You know that is going to come back and bite him in the ass. What makes me laugh is that Nick is considered to be a "good guy" right? He made up a fake online identity and led Chelsea, the woman he supposedly loves, on for months and months. He messed with her head and her heart, all in the name of love. He gave Sami a blank test sheet so she could lie to EJ. Then he stole/tampered with evidence in an arson investigation. Oh yeah, he also slept with the mother of the woman he loves and aided two fugitives in fleeing the country. Only on the soaps would a guy who does all of that be considered a good guy.
That's my thoughts for this week, I will be back next week with more thoughts on the shows. In the meantime, check out my Y&R recaps on TVMegasite.
