1. Rate the conclusion of Abe’s amnesia and Paulina’s health scare on a scale of 1 (I hated it) to 10 (I loved it!)

4. EJ must give Stefan his fortune back per their chess match. How much do you care about who controls the Dimera empire? Who would you like to be in charge?

5. The Horton House fire investigation and the Everett Lynch mystery were not seen this week. Did you miss those storylines?

6. John insists on turning himself in for Katerina’s murder. Do you think he did it? Do you believe that Konstantin forgives him?

5 - it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't my favorite thing ever. It was nice to "see" Lexie (or at least her hands), but it felt like Paulina's recovery was more about Abe. Still, I'm glad Abe finally has his memory back.

2. Jada tries to convince Harris that he is ruining his career by being with Jada. Was she being a concerned colleague or an overbearing busybody?
I think he's with Ava, not Jada. Either way, I think she's concerned, and she's right to be. Ava has no clue how to stay out of trouble for more than .00001 seconds.

3. Salem has had several babies swapped or presumed dead stories, going back to Nicole keeping Sidney from Nicole and Xander and Victor letting Kristen and Brady think Rachel had died. Where does Leo withholding the truth from Nicole and EJ rank in Days history?
It's annoying, but not surprising. Leo has repeatedly shown that he has absolutely no morals. Plus, he and Sloan are "besties" or whatever, so it's not like he's gonna turn on one of the only people that can actually tolerate his antics.

4. EJ must give Stefan his fortune back per their chess match. How much do you care about who controls the Dimera empire? Who would you like to be in charge?
At this point, I don't. Since Stefano's death, it's been a game of musical CEOs where it changes literally by the second sometimes. If anyone has to control it, I'd want Tony.

5. The Horton House fire investigation and the Everett Lynch mystery were not seen this week. Did you miss those storylines?
I missed the Horton fire investigation, because that's interesting. I can't say I missed Everett. Not because I don't like him, just didn't really miss him.

6. John insists on turning himself in for Katerina’s murder. Do you think he did it? Do you believe that Konstantin forgives him?
No and no. All we have is the word of a man who is a known conman and wasn't even conscious at the time of the murder. I don't believe John actually did it. Whether Konstantin actually forgives him or not doesn't matter, John doesn't need his forgiveness.

7. What annoyed or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?
Holly moping about how unfair it is that she can't see Tate and that he's in this position. Hm. Well, Holly, maybe if you told the truth instead of worrying about how disappointed your mom will be, Tate wouldn't be in this position, and you'd be able to see him!

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?
I did like Abe getting his memories back and reuniting with his friends. Plus, the conversation between Paulina and Kate was great, I like their friendship.

Sorry, André DiMera. That question should have said Ava not Jada. I've corrected it. Thanks for the heads up.

1. Rate the conclusion of Abe's amnesia and Paulina's health scare on a scale of 1 (I hated it) to 10 (I loved it!)

A- I give it a 4. We waited far too long for Abe to regain his memory, and this felt a little anticlimactic. And Paulina's failing heart miraculously healing itself was kind of silly.

2. Jada tries to convince Harris that he is ruining his career by being with Ava. Was she being a concerned colleague or an overbearing busybody?

A- Bringing it up was being a concerned colleague, but Jada wouldn't let it go, and that quickly pushed her into overbearing busybody territory. Harris is a grown man, and he can make his own decisions about his career and who he dates.

3. Salem has had several babies swapped or presumed dead stories, going back to Nicole keeping Sidney from Nicole and Xander and Victor letting Kristen and Brady think Rachel had died. Where does Leo withholding the truth from Nicole and EJ rank in Days history?

A- Ugh. I know Leo tried to tell EJ and Nicole only to have EJ threaten him, but now he's keeping the truth for a payday, and that's disappointing. The only upside is seeing him torture Sloan. I only wish he'd do that more often.

4. EJ must give Stefan his fortune back per their chess match. How much do you care about who controls the Dimera empire? Who would you like to be in charge?

A- I'd prefer EJ to be in charge because that just feels more natural. But I hate all of the infighting over the company, mostly because it's repetitive and boring.

5. The Horton House fire investigation and the Everett Lynch mystery were not seen this week. Did you miss those storylines?

A- Yes! I'm actually intrigued by Everett's story as I have no idea whether he has a real memory or mental health issue or if he's just a conman. And I'm anxious to see how they're going to rebuild the Horton House.

6. John insists on turning himself in for Katerina's murder. Do you think he did it? Do you believe that Konstantin forgives him?

A- I was never a fan of the Pawn storyline, and I hate that they've rehashed it in this way. No, I don't think John killed Katerina, and I don't think Konstantin forgives him. Also, this storyline can't wrap up fast enough for me.

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

A- That I still have to watch Konstantin, and Maggie lets him go anywhere near Victoria.

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?

A- It was so nice to see some happy couples this week. Johnny and Chanel, and Sarah and Xander were probably the only things this week that made me smile.

My Round Table answers:

1. Rate the conclusion of Abe’s amnesia and Paulina’s health scare on a scale of 1 (I hated it) to 10 (I loved it!)
I’ll give it a 1. His memory seemed to be returning bit by bit anyway. This all-at-once unrealistic drama was dumb. Add in Faceless Dead Lexie twisting her wedding rings and it was even dumber.

2. Jada tries to convince Harris that he is ruining his career by being with Ava. Was she being a concerned colleague or an overbearing busybody? At this point, she’s an overbearing busybody.
She is entitled to state her opinion when it comes to Harris’s position on the force. Beyond that, he’s a grown man making decisions of his own free will and it’s past time for her to back off.

3. Salem has had several babies swapped or presumed dead stories, going back to Nicole keeping Sidney from Nicole and Xander and Victor letting Kristen and Brady think Rachel had died. Where does Leo withholding the truth from Nicole and EJ rank in Days history? Leo’s an opportunist, but he’s not the one who stole the baby. He’s just using his knowledge to his advantage. I don’t fault him. The blame rests squarely on Sloan’s shoulders and Melinda is the one aiding and abetting the crime.

4. EJ must give Stefan his fortune back per their chess match. How much do you care about who controls the Dimera empire? Who would you like to be in charge?
I wouldn’t care if Dimera went under. I don’t even know what kind of business it is. That whole chess game for power fell flat, especially since it was a mini chess set LOL.

5. The Horton House fire investigation and the Everett Lynch mystery were not seen this week. Did you miss those storylines?
We also didn’t see Tripp and Wendy this week. I’m happy to have a break from Everett. I don’t care for the actor or the character.

6. John insists on turning himself in for Katerina’s murder. Do you think he did it? Do you believe that Konstantin forgives him?
Drake is portraying John as angry throughout this arc and it’s not working for me. I don’t think Konstantin forgives John. He is just saying he does for Maggie’s benefit, to show her what a kind, forgiving and benevolent man he is.

7. What annoyed or disappointed you on Days of Our Lives this week?
All the fillerish scenes are tiring and insulting to viewers while we are forced to wait until the staff writers return in order to see any progress. Many other annoyances: John acting angry. Every scene with Sloan. The fact that Holly isn’t trying harder to confess and Nicole/EJ aren’t listening anyway is driving me crazy. I also hated Nicole’s linebacker dress and Kate’s pajama pants suit. And possibly the thing that annoyed me most is that Maggie disregarded Xander’s request to keep Konstantin away from Victoria, who is HIS daughter.

8. What was your favorite story, scene, or quote this week?
I loved all of Xander and Sarah’s scenes. I loved Johnny and Chanel at the Salem Inn. I always enjoy Roman and Abe’s friendship and Kate and Paulina’s friendship and it was nice to see it on my screen.
