January 2, 2006
It's really sad to see how quickly both Sami and Lucas have forgotten the love they shared, not to mention how they have both regressed to behaviors of ten years ago.
January 9, 2006
Zack's death is just a horrible accident that touches all of us, because we know that it could happen to us, and it isn't some farfetched circumstance.
January 16, 2006
Zack's death has stirred up a lot of emotions, thanks in no small part to Kristian Alfonso's amazing performance as Hope Brady.
January 23, 2006
Kate isn't even a snake in the grass. She is a snake slithering along the hospital linoleum and trying to wrap herself around Shawn and Mimi.
January 30, 2006
Instead of being happy together, Sami and Lucas have thrown away their love like it was yesterday's news and have now focused their energies on snagging each other's siblings.
February 6, 2006
There was not a new column this week, so instead, please enjoy a look back at what was happening in Salem one year ago!
February 13, 2006
The February Sweeps period has been a hit for Days of our Lives! For the first time in a long time, Days has delivered a stellar couple of weeks.
February 20, 2006
Lexie is feeling rejected, and with Tek constantly at her about how much he loves her and how Abe doesn't deserve her, she's going to do something stupid and Abe is going to catch her.
February 27, 2006
Due to the most unfortunate set of circumstances, Bo and Hope have split up. Hope kicked Bo out of the house after discovering that he lied to her about the identity of Zack's killer.
March 6, 2006
Stefano would never hurt Marlena. He would kidnap her twice a year, but he never actually hurt her. He was in obsessive, but not violent, love with her.
March 13, 2006
Why does everybody and their brother have to ask Sami and Lucas if there is any chance that they will get back together?
March 20, 2006
Lexie managed to let herself be talked into some afternoon delight with Tek in the park, and there was our trusty Sami, hiding in the bushes. Well, let the blackmail begin!
March 27, 2006
Shawn and Mimi have done it! They made it to their wedding and have finally become husband and wife. It only took forever and a whole day, but the deed is done.
April 3, 2006
Marlena should sue the holy crap out of Lexie. First for bringing Alex into the picture in the first place, and secondly for sedating Marlena after she specifically said she didn't want it.
April 10, 2006
Due to illness, our columnist was not able to provide a column this week. In place of a new column, please enjoy an oldie but goodie from this week in 2005.
April 17, 2006
The writers have done a wonderful job of punishing the wicked this past week. Chelsea was dropped down a sewer, and now they seem to be shaping up to give Lexie a medical scare.
April 24, 2006
Days has lapsed in to some kind of twilight zone where the dialogue is repeated endlessly and the same scenarios are playing out for all the people on the show.
May 1, 2006
Exactly how stupid was it of Lexie to even consider dropping the bomb on Abe that she is doing it with his friend behind his back, in front of a group of like ten people?
May 8, 2006
Where would the show, and the storylines, be if Days of our Lives had a head writer with a little imagination?
May 15, 2006
It would be nice to show more of the actors who have been on the show for 20 or 25 years, like Caroline, instead of watching Carrie waffle again for the billionth time.
May 22, 2006
This sweeps period can be summed up in one word: MIND-NUMBING. Where is the excitement? The drama? The pay-offs? The resolutions?
May 29, 2006
This past week, Alex propelled himself off of a cliff, but we all know that in the wonderful world of soaps, if there is no body, the person is most likely alive.
June 5, 2006
The current state of Days of our Lives sucks, and the fans have been screaming for relief. Perhaps in response to those complaints, James E. Reilly is on his way out as head writer.
June 12, 2006
Hope wants revenge so bad she can just about taste Chelsea's blood. Not that she's wrong; she should want Chelsea's selfish, evil, spoiled butt strung from the nearest flagpole.
June 19, 2006
The fact that the character of Steve Johnson has also returned to Days of our Lives makes Kayla's return all the sweeter.
June 26, 2006
This past week, Abe took the bait of the mysterious gloved hand and caught Lexie and Officer Sex-U-Up in the act. Abe turned on the lights and it was full-tilt-boogie madness.
July 3, 2006
Two thumbs up to the writers for having Steve and Jack reveal themselves to everyone in Salem this past week, instead of dragging the story out for days/weeks/months.
July 10, 2006
Even though Steve doesn't really remember a thing except for those little itty bitty flashes, he and Kayla are still one of the most interesting things on the show in a long time.
July 17, 2006
There has to be some reason that E.J. is making nice with Kate. Is he trying to exact some revenge on Sami's behalf, or is there another reason?
July 24, 2006
Carrie and Lucas almost barbequed themselves, but it's a good thing Austin watches everything they do like a hawk so he, Sami, and E.J. could get them out just in the nick of time.
July 31, 2006
What's the saying, two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead? Five people is a slip begging to happen.
August 7, 2006
Carrie and Austin are two people who really just don't care and want to get caught. Otherwise, why would they be going at it on the roof of the apartment building where anyone could catch them?
August 14, 2006
The best part about Days right now is Patch and Kayla. They are so fabulous together that it takes away the pain of all the other storylines.
August 21, 2006
Hope is an all or nothing kind of person, which is not usually a bad trait, but she has always had a problem with Bo loving anyone but her and her children.
August 28, 2006
The writers came up with an interesting way to reveal Claire's paternity. Who could have guessed that everyone's first reaction would be skepticism? It seems almost...normal.
September 4, 2006
Everyone that knew Sami's wedding was going to come crashing down in a ball of flame and taffeta, raise your hands.
September 11, 2006
It was an extremely exciting week in Salem, featuring some of the best dialogue that the show has seen in a long time.
September 18, 2006
This past week, Billie finally came clean to Hope about her setting it up so Hope would find Bo in bed with Billie. That was classic soap, and it was a nice, unexpected, pleasant surprise.
September 25, 2006
Over the next couple of months, expect to lose a few characters and/or the actors that portray them. Matt Ashford, Melissa Reeves, and Jason Cook made their departure this past week.
October 2, 2006
Brandon Beemer made his debut as Shawn this past week, and he seems to have slipped effortlessly in to the role.
October 9, 2006
Shawn finally knows that Mimi knew that Claire was his before they were married, and that she has been keeping it a secret since the beginning of the year. Needless to say, Shawn was upset.
October 16, 2006
Shawn must have eighteen lives. He drives through walls and windows with the greatest of ease and manages to not kill himself.
October 23, 2006
Wow! What an amazing two weeks it has been since Hogan Sheffer fully took over the reins at Days of our Lives!
October 30, 2006
It was another fabulous, well-written week on our friendly neighborhood soap.
November 6, 2006
Is Steve going to have to carry Hope's list of memories around in his pocket like a cheat sheet in order to keep Kayla believing that he has his memory back?
November 13, 2006
How refreshing it was to see Nick, a guy who has a college degree, was kind-hearted enough to help Chelsea even though she was a total snot to him, and embraces his inner and outer geek.
November 20, 2006
Finally, a sweeps month that we can confidently say actually felt like a sweeps month! It's about time.
November 27, 2006
It was really kind of Max to invite Mimi to go to Thanksgiving with him, but maybe a little bit foolish considering the state of things between Mimi and Bo and Hope.
December 4, 2006
Unfortunately, the Days writing team doesn't seem to consider what their audience knows about real police procedure. Sure, it's a soap, but can't we have something that resembles reality?
December 11, 2006
This past week, John and Marlena were married in a lovely outdoor ceremony in Italy. It was a treat to see this supercouple finally make it official again.
December 18, 2006
Brandon Beemer seems to just fit right in with the rest of the cast, and his scenes this past week with his parents were fantastic, and long overdue.
December 25, 2006
Zack was a very loved little boy, and his senseless accidental death at the hands of his newfound sister just made for good television.
