It looks like the possession storyline is taking front and center this week. That’s great since Halloween is right around the corner. Plus we need a break from all the different stores they’re trying to tell. Like you mentioned, so many characters aren’t getting any screen time now. It looks like a pretty good week ahead for Days.

It does look good. I had heard this wraps by Halloween? I am not sure but they definitely seem to be escalating it. I am glad it's not dragging out, it would be too much.
The end of Monday's episode with all the flashbacks and clips and the Devil finally taking over Marlena was awesome. So well done (minus the cut to the speaker, no need to show us the devil is talking to her through a speaker!).
Some of the other stories are really dragging with no progress because they are only shown once or twice a week, like the corporate espionage stuff, Brady/Chloe/Philip, Justin/Bonnie, Xander/Gwen...it's sloooooooow. Even the stuff with Johnny's movie. How many conversations does he need to have asking people to invest? I wonder if he will make the movie after learning Grandma Marlena is possessed again? Speaking of, it drives me insane they call her Grandma Marlena, or say Grandma Kate. They don't need to do that to distinguish. We know which of their grandmas they are talking about in any given scene.
I'm glad Lucas will be on this week! Do we know when Alison Sweeney is coming back? I thought it was soon (October-ish).

Is it just me or is the voice of the Devil and that awful cartoon image of him on Marlena’s phone so utterly ridiculous? Otherwise I’m still enjoying the storyline.

The voice is just Deidre's voice computerized, isn't it? It's not the best, neither is the phone. But not something that bothers me either.
I have heard Alison/Sami returns and her first scene is walking in on EJ and Abigail acting out John and Marlena's boardroom table sex scene in Johnny's movie! Oh I hope this is true, that would be a fantastic re-entry to the show! Although I do hope we find out where she has been all this time.

Uh oh! That could bring out the worst in Sami again. Hopefully, Lucas will be able to keep her in line? I wonder if Sami set up her own kidnapping as well? I just think it seems too obvious that Kristen was responsible for the kidnapping.
I still can’t believe that the most interesting couples are the oldest ones on the show. I really liked how Kate actually looked like she had tears in her eyes when Roman was talking with her yesterday. It just seemed like such a genuine moment between the two of them.
Also, I loved Kayla’s fake drunken moment towards EJ and Nicole. Kayla and Steve are so under utilized.

I sort of hope it was EJ who kidnapped Sami but now I don't know. You're right, too obvious if it was Kristen. But maybe this is how Xander finds out Sarah is trapped somewhere? Sami was with her and she managed to escape and tells Xander about Sarah? I don't know.
I loved fake drunk Kayla! That was great. I thought it was interesting Nicole double crossed EJ but still ends up sleeping with him at some point.
I am on the fence about Kate. Sometimes I really like her, other times I find her annoying and pathetic. I really don't want to see Roman telling her he likes her anymore, it's getting embarrassing. I did like Kate and Philip/Lucas's scenes, those were funny. I like Lucas and Philip's brother bond.

I guess there’s just so much history between Kate, Lucas and Philip. They really have great scenes together. It would be nice to see Billie and Austin visit a little bit more but I wish that Rex would stay away. And, I guess Cassie doesn’t exist anymore?
I’m really hoping that the kidnapping storyline wraps up quickly. I forgot, did Sarah get recast with Adrienne Franz? I’m actually enjoying Xander with Gwen more now.
I also guess that you were right about the possession storyline ending soon. Although I see on that other site mentioning that it lasts through Christmas. But, it seems like the gig is up for the Devil this time unless John gets taken out temporarily or he gets convinced that Marlena isn’t possessed.
