A Critic’s Review Of Days of our Lives: A Case Of Deduction & Replication

Talia Hunter, Harris Michaels, and Wendy Shin.

When it comes to Days of our Lives, every fan has their own opinion – and Soap Hub is no different. For five days we sat and watched the good, the bad, and everything in between, and now we offer you a handy review, and a cheeky critique, of the Days of our Lives week that was.

Days of our Lives: The Critic’s POV

It’s a draw as to who the smartest woman is on Days of our Lives, what with Nicole (Arianne Zucker) deducing that EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) sicced Joyce the hitwoman on Ava (Tamara Braun) and Jada (Elia Cantu) calling Talia (Aketra Sevillian) out for doing the deed with Shawn (Brandon Beemer).

There’s also some doubt as to the densest. As if Wendy (Victoria Grace) would so carelessly dispose of materials that could come back to bite her and Tripp (Lucas Adams) in the butt. Or if Vivian (Louise Sorel) would actually out her plans to get Titan back in the illegal drugs trade. Would Gwen (Emily O’Brien) really need Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) to convince her she needs to get her own back against Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Dimitri (Peter Porte)? As if Shawn doesn’t really suspect his extramarital dalliance won’t get out.

And I’m not sure if that was Drew or another heretofore unknown triplet, but Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) wouldn’t have been stupid and/or careless enough to leave Victor’s belongings with Theresa (Jen Lilley), of all people.

Further DAYS Musings

* I get it DAYS, I get it. Ava (Tamara Braun) and Jake (Brandon Barash) were a love match for the ages. Also, it’s obvious how desperate you are to replicate the Carly/Jason magic with Ava and Harris (Steve Burton). More fool you.

Days of our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock+ in the U.S. and The W Network or Global TV App in Canada. For more about what’s coming up in Salem, check out all the latest DAYS spoilers, and for an in-depth look at the show’s history, click here.
