I don’t get Billy. Victoria is doing nothing but loving him. Why throw that and her away? He’s being a self centered jerk for no reason other than he feels like it.
Totally agree Molly. Billy is a man-child and it’s getting very tiring. He screws up and when it hits the fan for the millionth time, he tries to convince everyone that he realizes the error of his ways and expects them to forgive him. Victoria should move on, because he will never change. The character is damaged. Thompson and Heinle have so much chemistry and it’s ashame the writers aren’t doing more with it.
I agree with you Molly. I don’t know what the heck he is doing. And I don’t think he does either. Victoria can run a multi-million dollar company on her own, but she is totally blind when it comes to her home life. I really wish and hope they start showing more of the Baldwins. I am so sick of the same old faces and the same stories. I am sick and tired of listening to Chelsea whine about Connor to anyone who will listen. She will be in bed with Adam in due time, Nick and Phyllis will start rolling around together. And if Theo and Lola get together I am going to SCREAM. HE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL. We need to see Kevin and Chole with Bella. And we we need to see more of Esther and Gloria bonding with Bella. Well, that’s about it. And don’t even get me started on Bold and Beautiful. Or I should say the show that revolves around Hope. Another time. Happy viewing everybody. And most importantly HAPP NEW YEAR
My wishes for the soap new year:
1. May Y&R writers stop giving 1/3 of each episode to those awful Connor/Adam/Chelsea scenes that are terribly written and just excruciating to watch. They spent half of the xmas episode on a whining 6-year-old and a stray cat in a box. Let’s hope this is rock-bottom.
2. May Y&R writers come up with some storyline ideas that haven’t been done to death already but don’t involve rewriting history to produce new one-note characters (hello Theo). May the show become watchable again in 2020. Hint: More Mariah and Amanda (sans Billy), less brooding Adam and self-pitying Phyllis, Nick & Kyle. And no more Billy narrating his stupid life.
3. May DAYS continue to throw us curveballs with the time jump and keep us on our toes. Hint: resist the urge to be the Chabby show.
4. May GH finally reveal some of the canvas-encompassing secrets. It’s time for the payoff! The reveals threaten to be anti-climactic by now but can still be saved. And may the writers please find better matches for Finn and Anna. The actors are too good to be playing a relationship with no chemistry.
5. May all 4 remaining soaps stay on the air! Life would be less fun without them!
NuAdam creeps me out. Chelsea has zero chemistry with anyone on the show. NuNina is growing on me. I love Valentin. Wish he would off the Parking Lot FLOP.
Billy’s a jerk off. Jason T is a good actor but this story doesn’t make sense and he looks like a horses ass. I hope it’s his alter otherwise he shouldn’t be forgiven. Victoria is a good person who is loving and kind to him too. Shadam have better chemistry than Chadam. And Billy and Amanda are flipping awful and have no chemistry no matter how hard they are trying to shove it down our throats.
Screw Billy. What an ass. Why can’t Billy and Victoria be happy for more than five minutes. This Amanda thing is so gross. All of Y&R is a mess and Josh Griffith is a sucky writer.
I agree, Kelsey. The show is a mess, turning likeable people into contemptible ones (Billy, for example). And don’t get me started on the Theo debacle. Glad Kevin and Chloe are back, but it looks like they’re turning them into dullards as well.
Billy/Amanda is nasty. Jason and Mishael have no chemistry.
I love Mishael Morgan but zero chemistry. They are disgusting and Billy is horrible now to watch with his depression and inner voice.
HAPPY NEW YEAR>>>AND AS BARBRA WALTERS WOULD SAY>>>THIS IS 2020!!!!
Happy New Year!!
Why in Hell’s name is GH running an old episode today? When you are running 3 or 4 episodes behind, due to ImOrangement and/or other news interruptions, there should be an immediate decision made to scrap the Helliday rerun episodes, and replace them with a new show.
At this rate, they will be celebrating New Years Evil in Port Charles right around St. Patrick’s Day.
My wish for 2020 is that Gabi on DAYS is thoroughly publicly punished for what she did to Julie, Lani and Eli. I want to see everything taken away from Gabi. I want to see Gabi have to publicly beg Julie and Lani not to have her sent back to prison for years.
Anne,
Amen, and Happy New Year! My wishes exactly. She’s been getting away with way too much, too often.When does she supposedly see her daughter? If she’s not making trouble, she’s screwing Eli. Oh, I can’t wait for him to find out what she’s done to his grandma.
My take on the soaps as a viewer not that my opinion means anything but here goes!! Bold and the Beautiful the Hope Show. Young and the Restless the Chelsea show. General Hospital back to the insane four Sonny Carly Jason and Sam show. Days of Our Lives no comment I have not watched in years . Here is hoping 2020 makes some constructive changes ! I feel very sad for the vets who helped make it #1 and if you are as frustrated as we are we all out here understand !
Young and the Restless had no where to go but down and I believe Sony wants it gone if not why have they not made changes positive ones to stop the bleeding of viewers
Kay,
You are right. I am so sick of every SL, especially what they have done to poor Conner. They better not turn the kid into a little psycho. I thought they might have him kill the poor kitten and claim that the voices or whatever told him to do it. That would be the end for me. The whole show is a mess as it is and quickly getting worse, i.e Billy and Amanda, Lola and Theo getting together, Phyllis throwing herself at anything in pants,especially Chance, who is way younger anyway. Sharon supposedly getting very sick. I repeat, can it get any worse?
In 2020 I would like to see a POST COMMENT TOPIC where viewers can provide storylines for their favorite show (i.e. Y and R.) Perhaps the writers might get some inspiration from longtime viewers who have sound suggestions for plots for specific characters. As many fans have voiced here for quite awhile, our must-watch shows are quickly becoming must-miss viewing.

‘Days of Our Lives’ Summer Sizzle Super-Sized Teaser: DiMera Legacy On the Line, a Health Crisis, Plenty of Romance and Backstabbers
As things get hot, so does Days of Our Lives as the summer months are here and that means temperatures go up on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
Now the long-running drama has released its summer sizzle promo video, where there are a lot of quick little nuggets that tease DAYS fans of what is to come.
First, much of the action centers around the machinations of EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) as he is heard saying about the family legacy, “Father built an empire, and I must carry his vision forward.” Meanwhile the extended trailer shares, “When legacies are built on lies, even love leaves a scar Not every wound heals, not every bond survives. In Salem, even the innocent have something to hide.”

EJ IS EVERYWHERE
Philip Kiriakis (JP Lavoisier) warns his friends and families about people losing everything thanks to EJ, which in turn has him in a major showdown with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), and let’s just say, he is not too pleased with her.
EJ is heard saying, “Everything I do, every decision, every sacrifice. I did for this family.” That includes: bringing back his sister from the dead and Lexie (Nikki Crawford) looks very unhappy about something. In another moment, EJ is about to throttle his sister, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) when he yells, “You tried to murder my son.” Does he finally know what Kristen’s plot was with Sophia?
EJ even appears to be firing Dr. Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) from her job at University Hospital. Sarah is also seen making out with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) making everyone wonder if she is finally over Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) ? Thing is, he is truly not over her.
Then, there appears to be a public health crisis with pills that are laced going around Salem. Chanel (Raven Bowens) is trying her best to hang on as she is about to bring a baby into the world while battling breast cancer. Scared, she asks the doctors, “I need to know about the effects on my baby.”
MACHINATIONS AND THE TRUTH OF THE PAST
Another bad boy is back in Salem when Dimitri Von Leuschner (Peter Porte) seems back to his evil ways. Meanwhile, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) fires a gun, but at who? The truth about Cat’s (AnnaLynne McCord) past may finally come to light and be the downfall of her relationship with Chad (Conner Floyd) and maybe EJ too.
Back in July 2025, Peacock confirmed that Days of Our Lives will return for its 62nd and 63rd seasons. The series celebrated its 60th anniversary in November of 2025, and continues to shoot ten-months in advance of dropping new episodes.
Take a look at the summer sizzle Days of Our Lives extended promo below.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Lexie Emerges and Shocks Abe as the DiMera Family Gathers for The Reading of Stefano’s Will
Next week on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives, finally it looks like Lexie Carver is fully resurrected when the character now played by Nikki Crawford stumbles into a DiMera family gathering, which is supposed to be for the reading of Stefano DiMera’s will.
In the Peacock video teaser, as EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and company toast the Phoenix, the secret tunnel door swings open, and out stumbles out Lexie! Meanwhile, Dr, Rolf (Richard Wharton) realizes Lexie is gone and no longer in her bed. When Abe (James Reynolds) sees his beloved Lexie, he is absolutely stunned. But the question is, when Lexie speaks, is she the Lexie of old, or will her memory and brain be all scrambled eggs?
As longtime DAYS viewers know, the part of Lexie was portrayed for years by Renee Jones, who retired from acting after her run which lasted from 1993-2012. At the time of her departure, Lexie was killed-off with an inoperable brain tumor.

Elsewhere, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) is up to no good and now makes a play for Xander (Paul Telfer). but then tells him, “What I want now, is for you to kill him!” Who does she want killed? EJ? Johnny (Carson Boatman)? Or someone else?

This week on all-new episodes of Days of our Lives streaming from April 27-May 1 on Peacock, viewers are in for shocking twists and arrivals and a number of Salem citizens in peril.

She is set to introduce him to her baby, which as fans know is supposedly Alex’s child.
Meanwhile, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) got a gun at a firing range learning supposedly proper gun safety techniques, but cut to a moment in the park where her ex, Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) is planting a kiss on her. It should be noted and as previously reported the character is exiting the canvas this week, when Michael Roark makes his final appearance on the April 29 episode.
