This wind up and slap is iconic. 👑 #Days

It just blows my mind that the possibility of John's great grandson carrying his name and legacy WAS RIGHT THERE and they went this route instead.

I realized this morning that Days is mostly an after thought for me at this point. I know Marlena isn't airing this week, so the desire to watch was already zero, but I don't even think about it being a part of my morning routine anymore. I don't feel like something is missing and that's sad. #Days

If Deidre is out there asking for more scenes with her family, it makes me think that she's not getting them now. She wouldn't have to ask/hope for more if she was satisfied and happy with what she was getting now. And that makes me sad for her.

I'll forever be mad that they wasted the name Evan on him instead of on one of John and Marlena's grands/great grands.

Yep, that’s what Eric is saying too. Maybe there’s a glimmer of hope for this show left.

On this day in 2011, one of the most perfect scenes about John and Carrie: “I attended every parent-teacher conference Carrie ever had...and that made me the proudest daddy in the world.”

Anything had to be better than Dena, but he really did have some pretty great stories that will be remembered fondly in the Days history books. I wish we could say the same for this team so far.

This is so sweet. And gives me the tiniest glimmer of hope that they have Brady following in his Dad’s footsteps. Drake would be honored and proud. 💜 #Days #Jarlena

Jamey wouldn't have been around in the very beginning, but it was great when he came around a couple years later. Ron had Sheri Anderson as a creative consultant for the first couple years he was around. Those three were a great team together.

Happy Birthday, Doc!

I wish you could have gotten a last birthday celebration with your handsome husband and beautiful family before he left us. I'm still so hopeful for a big Evans-Brady-Black birthday extravaganza for all their October birthdays. #Days #Jarlena

Omg, that's the perfect description.

If there ever comes a day when I decide to change my profile picture from Drake and Deidre, it's absolutely going to change to a picture of my girl Tracy. #GH

Yeah, that would be the end for anyone that's left, I think.

HA!!! Don't give them any ideas. (But I could see that too. Anything they can do to rehab another villain and use Marlena to do it.)

They wouldn't dare do that with Julie, so I don't know why they should/would for Marlena. But with how everything is all plotplotplotplot with them, I wouldn't surprise me if they went there.

Agreeeeeed. He's one of the good ones. I hate that he got shafted just because AZ did. He's a huge loss for us.

I know! They're the worst. Watch them recast now.

Days is terrible for letting him get away. But our loss is BTS's gain. Congratulations, Greg!

we lost a queen 👑

@bookishbetty.bsky.social Episode 3 of the new season of The Reluctant Traveler has you written all over it. And so far, it’s the episode of the season for me as far as emotional connection. I’m so glad I have you to talk to about this show. ❤️

The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy quickly became one of my favorite shows when it first premiered and it continues to be one of the most real, feel good shows out there. If you have AppleTV and need something to new to watch, I highly recommend it.

And what’s crazy is that Paula was writing during this story. You’d never know it when you watch what she’s writing now.

In her mind, he’s still alive and just not coming to work today. 🥹🥹

Another interview with Deidre. It’s so hard to watch her when she’s talking about Drake. 💔💜

Also, she wants to see more family scenes for Marlena in the future. Writers, are you listening?? #Days

They made such a point to show how big and beautiful their blended family is when they recreated the flower ceremony for John's funeral and now she barely sees any of the family that are right there in Salem! Make it make sense!

There's a bunch of things he could be doing on screen if they would bring him back full time. And having him as a support for Marlena is a big one.

They way she's lying and can barely see Brady feels like they're going the biological kids only route with her and I hate when they do that. I know more of the kids will be back for the anniversary, but I hope she gets more support from her family even before that. She should have had it all along.

This is what I miss the most for her. She doesn't have anyone left who she can REALLY fall apart with now that John is gone. She's alone and trying to navigate a world without the man who was always there to catch her and make things better. 💔 #Days

Marlena fainted last week and there’s still no follow up as to why? And she still hasn’t seen her children about it?

This show is terrible.
