Except for a few fun moments from the old-timers, Days of Our Lives was dullsville last week. I know I keep saying that this show bounces between good and bad, so this week I thought I'd see how the actual balance shakes out. (Spoiler: Good loses.)
Good:
Roman and Hope teasing Bo about calling to confront Caroline was hilarious.
And then they started picking on Kayla and the Brady sibling chemistry was in full effect. Are there people who prefer the Belle/Shawn saga or Nick's ridiculous China Lee story to scenes like this? Why?!
Roman's impression of Steve was the high point:
Roman: I don't know, sweetness, I think that little dude crept out of the crib and hitchhiked to Memphis, I think!
Hee! I don't think I've liked Roman that much since he was played by Drake Hogestyn.
Speaking of Roman's portrayer . . . We've touched on this before, but what in the name of Hunter Tylo is Josh Taylor doing to himself?
I don't know whether that's botox or a facelift, but the combination of that, the waxed/penciled brows, and -- did my eyes deceive me -- bronzer and blush (?!) is all too much for my poor eyes to bear. Is there an upcoming story involving Commissioner Brady doing drag on the weekends?
God forbid they put Roman and Kate back together and we have to look at him and Kate's hair in the same frame on a regular basis:
That is tragedy on an epic scale.
How great is Judi Evans? She's looking fabulous and is thoroughly entertaining as Adrienne during the three minutes a week they let her be on-screen. I hope the increased references to Justin and the kids means they're coming back. Steve said Dimples! That must mean Justin will be on-screen soon, right? And Wally Kurth's the one with the dimples, so they're totally getting him back, yes? Thereby both reuniting another Days couple of my youth, and freeing Wally from the bitches ru[n/i]ning GH who only let him appear at funerals? (I have a rich fantasy life.)
