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 Gets Tickled
Though I know quite a few who found the references a little too “precious”, I, for one, got a kick out of both the [admittedly on the nose] shout-out to James Reynolds’s role on Generations, [the actor famously abandoned his role of Abe in 1991 to play Henry Marshall “who owned and operated a chain of five moderately successful ice cream parlors”] and the adoption of the title Body and Soul [which was a place holder for a proposed Marlena-centric spinoff].
Further DAYS Musings
* Am I alone in no longer finding Wendy (Victoria Grace) a rootable character? Also, can I hear it for swaggertastic Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams)? Where was this guy when Allie (Lindsay Arnold) was playing Tripp for a damn fool?
* Frequent backstabbings aside, Gwen (Emily O’Brien) and Leo (Greg Rikaart) truly are #FriendGoals.
* Man, do I appreciate mercenary “Kill before the problem escalates” Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow).
* No, no, no to the Xander/Chloe romantic pairing. I was all for the nod to The Odd Couple [one’s a prissy and house proud, the other’s a loveable slob] but this development really rankles.
* Sloan’s (Jessica Serfaty) saliva substitution no doubt surprised no one, but I’ve got to ask: would the test really not have indicated that the DNA being tested wasn’t that of a man?
