I think that I need a two week break from Days. The storylines aren’t that bad but it just doesn’t go anywhere. I’m glad they’re wrapping up the Nicole/Eric relationship but the Phillip/Chloe/Brady triangle is becoming so high school. I will be back to watching the show again when it resumes but I might be flash forwarding through a lot of scenes.

I FF through so much as it is. I hate the Philip/Chloe/Brady triangle. It is very juvenile and they are making everyone so unlikable in it.
So that is it for Eric? I guess I am glad they brought him back to resolve/end the relationship with Nicole to free her up for other things, but I also feel super ripped off with their relationship. They made it like it was this epic "finding their way back to each other" story and then it just ended because GV left the show. I would have preferred they just recast him, at least give them a chance.
And I am glad for the break as well. I assume I will go back to watching but I won't miss it for 2 weeks.
Monday's episode was mildly entertaining. As much as I like Sami I have to agree with Belle that humiliating Eric in public (again - he has been publicly humiliated on so many occasions by so many people) was cruel.
The stuff with Xander was stupid. How are Brady and Chloe just allowed to waltz into the Horton House without knocking??? lol

I know that Xander is a bonehead and despicable character, but his character evolved during his relationship with Sarah. Now that she’s gone, he’s just playing for laughs and stupidity. Which is a shame because Paul Telfer can act as he proved so well during the baby switch and death storyline. It’s gross that they’re pairing him with Gwen because neither character seems to have any redeeming qualities. I hope they bring Sarah back and that Xander gets a chance to grow as a character again.
And, unfortunately that was it for Eric. Why make a huge announcement about his return when it’s only for a few days? They’re doing so much of this right now. I suppose this will pave the way for Nicole to move on again. Will it be Brady, Rafe and the stupid talking Bear or EJ?

Those scenes with Eric and Nicole yesterday (Tuesday) were brutal, in a good way. Very well done by both Ari and Greg. I was tearing up!!!
I am SO MAD! I really liked Nicole and Eric since they refuse to keep her with Brady, who was my top choice for her. But I feel like after Lumi got married and their honeymoon was destroyed by nonsense and soon they were split and she was with EJ. I feel like Eric and Nicole splitting up is the same. They didn't even give them a chance after ALL THESE YEARS. All because the actor wanted to leave. Just recast!!! This really pisses me off and I feel ripped off as a fan.
I guess Brady won't be a possibility but I would like her to get with EJ then because it will mean Sami is with Lucas. I would also like to see Nicole go back to shades of grey because she is kinda boring right now. She's better when she's feisty.
I agree about Xander. I really like him but the stuff they have him with lately is stupid and Gwen sucks. I see ZERO chemistry between them. With Abigail off the show (indefinitely?) I see no purpose for Gwen. She succeeded in ruining Abigail's life and continues to be a bad seed. She can leave any time now. Her scenes are a waste and I just FF them. The whole thing with Snyder is stupid. She'd rather risk going to jail for murder than her secret coming out? All of this could have been resolved with a simple phone call after he collapsed.

I completely agree with you on the Gwen storyline. It’s beyond stupid! What’s the big deal to say that he was blackmailing her and come clean? But, then again, it’s a soap opera. But Gwen has no chemistry with anyone on the show. The Gwen/Xander pairing seems forced. Hopefully, Days will address these issues in the coming months with Abigail, Jennifer and Sarah.
As for Nicole and Brady, I like them together as well. But, with Brady, I think Nicole would remain a vanilla character. I think her and EJ would work out well. That way Lumi can finally reunite and satisfy the fans.

The only good thing with Gwen and Xander is their British-isms when they talk to each other. Otherwise yes, she sucks. Xander/Paul Telfer is so charming he really could have chemistry with a door. I really like him, even if I don't love what they are doing with his character.
Yes, I actually think when Nicole told EJ about Sami, he had sparkles with her whereas I don't think Dan and Ali have any chemistry. But also not sure if they are supposed to anyway. Nicole and EJ would be a better pairing to bring out her darker side. Pairing her with Rafe or Brady is too vanilla, I agree. And really, how many more scenes can we take of Nicole and Rafe babysitting a stuffed bear?
