1. Do you think Everett/Bobby is a lying con artist, a sociopath, is still suffering from memory issues due to his head injury, has serious mental health issues, or something else?

A: Well, he's certainly not a great guy, given that he was cheating on Jada with Stephanie before his accident. Perhaps he has Dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. It would explain why he seems so genuinely confused.

If it's not that, then I choose sociopath, as he seems to have all the traits given what we know of him. Either way, I'm curious to see how this plays out.

2. Did you find Jada's reaction to meeting Everett over the top or realistic, and why?

A: I thought it was pretty realistic. Her husband cheated on her and then completely disappeared. Now he's standing in front of her, dating her friend and claiming to be someone else. I think that would push anyone over the edge.

If Jada had stayed calm, I think that would have been far less realistic of a response.

3. Rate your enjoyment of the special Horton House episode from 1 (I hated it) to 10 (It was one of my favorite episodes.)

A: I loved it. All of the flashbacks were wonderful. I enjoyed the look back at a young Tom and Alice, and I thought the actors did a great job. Having Leo learn about the Horton's legacy and tell their story was an inspired choice. And having them find the Christmas ornaments intact was the perfect ending.

4. Are you surprised that Sarah is sticking my Xander even though all the evidence points to him having shot Harris?

A: Given how judgmental and anti-Xander she was in the recent path, I do find it a bit surprising. I'm just relieved we don't have to sit through another round of Sarah verbally beating up on Xander again. This couple is way more entertaining when they're working together than when they're tearing one another apart.

5. Did you suspect Stefan as Harris' shooter? Do you think he will be caught for the crime?

A: I did wonder if he somehow could have shot Harris and then snuck back into the Bistro. I don't like or trust Stefan, so I didn't find it a huge surprise.

I hope he has to pay the consequences, but somehow, I doubt it will happen. At least not for long.

6. Is Tate's anger at his parents justified? Did Brady and Theresa handle their visit with their son well?

A: Tate has every right to be furious! He did nothing wrong yet he's stuck in a rehab facility because his girlfriend overdosed and his parents are addicts. Talk about life being unfair.

I know Brady and Teresa are relieved to have him out of jail, but he's 17, so I get why he's lashing out. Being locked up when you're innocent makes it difficult to look at the bright side.


7. What frustrated or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?

A: More Konstantin nonsense. I just don't care about him or this story. And every time I hear the name Katerina, I think of Carly Manning, aka Katerina Von Leuschner. I wish they had chosen another name.


8. What was your favorite scene, quote, or storyline on this week's Days of Our Lives?

A: Everything about the Horton House episode. All of the history was wonderful, as was seeing Doug and Julie. Given Bill Hayes' passing, I'm cherishing every scene we have with him.

1. Do you think Everett/Bobby is a lying con artist, a sociopath, is still suffering from memory issues due to his head injury, has serious mental health issues, or something else?
I actually don't know but I really do not like the character of Everett. I don't like the actor, Blake Berris, so the sooner he gets gone, the better.

2. Did you find Jada's reaction to meeting Everett over the top or realistic, and why?
I think it was a little over the top, but I did enjoy Jada warning Stephanie to run.

3. Rate your enjoyment of the special Horton House episode from 1 (I hated it) to 10 (It was one of my favorite episodes.)
I'm giving it a 9. It wasn't perfect but it was really well done, mixing old clips with young Tom and Alice, and present day memories. It was fun hearing Julie tell Leo all the ways the Hortons were not perfect.

4. Are you surprised that Sarah is sticking my Xander even though all the evidence points to him having shot Harris?
I am a little suprised but happy. So preferable to her getting on her high horse and telling Xander he's the most horrible person who ever lived.

5. Did you suspect Stefan as Harris' shooter? Do you think he will be caught for the crime?
I did not suspect Stefan was the shooter. Stefan's personality changed for the worse when he grew in that mustache. I don't think the mustache is random.

6. Is Tate's anger at his parents justified? Did Brady and Theresa handle their visit with their son well?
Tate is angry for being punished for something he didn't do and his parents and their lawyer have been little help. I don't blame him for being angry about his predicament. I thought Brady handled Tate well. I thought Theresa was ridiculous to advise him to learn about addictions. I'm sure he knows all he needs to know on the subject and he doesn't do drugs. 

7. What frustrated or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?
Annoyed that I have to endure this inane Pawn story and I don't care about Katerina. I actually don't mind Konstantine because I like the actor. But this story is making John and Steve look like jerks. 

8. What was your favorite scene, quote, or storyline on this week's Days of Our Lives?
Definitely the reminiscences on Wednesday and seeing a young Tom and Alice. It would have been nice to see them falling in love. Maybe we'll get that one day. My favorite moment was when they sang "Always" in the past and in the present.

1. Do you think Everett/Bobby is a lying con artist, a sociopath, is still suffering from memory issues due to his head injury, has serious mental health issues, or something else?
A: I'm a bit confused why everyone on the show keeps jumping immediately to sociopath. So far all we know is he's a cheater. Those are two separate things.

It's likely that he and Jada were in an unhappy marriage, Everett met Stephanie, and decided to start a new relationship while holding onto the old one "just in case". And that he may have memory loss from the accident.

I'd much rather that than yet another unrealistic DID story that perpetuates false stereotypes about the disorder, though, so maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

2. Did you find Jada's reaction to meeting Everett over the top or realistic, and why?
Totally over the top. If a guy cheated on her years ago and now she's in a better relationship, there's no need for this type of anger. If anything, she should be relieved to be away from him and sad that Stephanie fell into his trap.
3. Rate your enjoyment of the special Horton House episode from 1 (I hated it) to 10 (It was one of my favorite episodes.)
Loved it! I wish Days would do more stuff like that.
4. Are you surprised that Sarah is sticking my Xander even though all the evidence points to him having shot Harris?
Very pleasantly surprised. I agree with Kpatch that this is much better than her being on her high horse.

5. Did you suspect Stefan as Harris' shooter? Do you think he will be caught for the crime?
I thought it was him from the minute he began talking about the shooting with Ava. I hope he's caught. This is all so stupid.

6. Is Tate's anger at his parents justified? Did Brady and Theresa handle their visit with their son well?
I think it's understandable, especially when they are acting like he actually needs and deserves to be in rehab.

7. What frustrated or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?

I hate this Clyde story. It is simply not believable that these two powerful families are paralyzed with fear from his threats. And Stefan could work with EJ to get Clyde neutralized instead of this nonsense.

8. What was your favorite scene, quote, or storyline on this week's Days of Our Lives?

Everything from the Tom/Alice retrospective.

1. Do you think Everett/Bobby is a lying con artist, a sociopath, is still suffering from memory issues due to his head injury, has serious mental health issues, or something else?

I'm hoping that he has memory loss or that there's more to the story. I'm interested in seeing where this story goes.



2. Did you find Jada's reaction to meeting Everett over the top or realistic, and why?

Her reaction was ok. She was truly shocked to find out her ex husband is involved with Stephanie.


3. Rate your enjoyment of the special Horton House episode from 1 (I hated it) to 10 (It was one of my favorite episodes.)

I truly enjoyed the episode. So many moments were touching. If only we could have more episodes like this one.


4. Are you surprised that Sarah is sticking my Xander even though all the evidence points to him having shot Harris?

I'm very surprised. It's refreshing that Sarah believes in Xander despite the evidence.

5. Did you suspect Stefan as Harris' shooter? Do you think he will be caught for the crime?

Not really. I thought it would be some random guy Clyde paid off. If he is caught I doubt he will receive much of a punishment.

6. Is Tate's anger at his parents justified? Did Brady and Theresa handle their visit with their son well?

Tate is angry at the world and rightly so. The only thing he did wrong was putting Holly's drugs in his pocket in an attempt to protect her. He doesn't deserve everything he's going through.



7. What frustrated or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?

Konstantin's obsession with John and Steve.

Teresa being more upset about Alex not proposing than about Tate being wrongly locked up.


8. What was your favorite scene, quote, or storyline on this week's Days of Our Lives?

The entire episode at the Horton house.
