This actually seems like an interesting week on Days. I really love the fact that there are some great characters back on the show. It makes up for the horrible ones that keep getting front and center storylines. I just wish that we’d get some resolve with what happened with Hope and whether or not Jennifer and Abigail will return or not.

Yeah not bad. I am looking forward to the stuff with Philip, Lucas, Sami, etc. That looks good.
I agree we do need some resolution for several characters - I'd throw Sarah in there as well. Just recast the role(s). This reminds me of all the times poor Caroline was upstairs or Mickey was in the kitchen...for years...
The scenes with Ciara and Ben are NAUSEATING. I have so many problems with how they are playing this.
1. Ben is being gross and obsessive by refusing to give Ciara a divorce. He's not listening to her and it's not romantic at all. It's creepy.
2. Ciara's body language and her words are so contradictory. I am not sure if they are doing that on purpose but she has such venom in her voice and words for Ben, meanwhile, she is constantly leaning into him and pushing her pelvis towards him and standing so close to him when they talk.
The whole thing is really offputting. I want this story to stop. And I also feel so bad for Theo in all this.

I agree with what you’re saying about the whole Ben/Ciara/Theo storyline. First off, I would feel sorry for Theo, but the new actor portraying him is awful and I can’t stand that super huge man bun he wears. It just doesn’t fit his character. Plus, he’s only been a short term recurring actor on the show. I wish they could have gotten Kyle to return for the show. He really was a great recast for Theo when they Soras-ed him.
I understand Ben not signing the divorce papers since his Wife is not in a sound state of mind. But he is going about it all wrong.
This is where some of the terrible writing comes into play. Ron does some great work with some stories but awful jobs on others. But I have to realize that this is what the show is now. It will never return to its heyday of the 80s and 90s.

I agree, it's never going to be good like the heydays, but the writing is just SO LAZY! I have also been reading that a lot of scenes get cut for time. I am wondering if that is impacting our perceived quality in the writing.
I like Theo the character but yes, this new actor is not as good as the previous Theo. I still feel bad for the blow-up/reality crush Theo is going to inevitably face.
Ben should just give her the divorce. When her memory comes back then she will go back to Ben. He needs to have some faith in her. It's all really stupid IMO. If I were Ciara, regardless of my impaired mental state, I would be FURIOUS if my sister-in-law or cousin (whatever Justin is to her) would not help me.
