This storyline is so dumb. Also, what happened to Sonny? He's lost all personality. Now he just wears suits and only cares about "Titan". What happened to the charming, fun Sonny? Terrible writing.

There are such tests in Germany (both for dog and dog owner). It's the result of a sad event about 15 years ago, when a little boy was bitten to death by a dog. Wow, I didn't know that. OK.

Thanks Mimi!
This storyline is ridiculous. Come on, his dog is taken away because he didn't pass the "dog owner test"? This is absurd even by German standards, right? And the whole test where Stinker had to stay calm while the woman shook a water bottle full of rocks, then opened an umbrella? Come on. This isn't really a thing in Germany, right?

This one is especially grim IMO. Plus it was all so rushed. Shorty really doesn’t do romances well most of the time, particularly when they rush them. When they let them develop organically it works out better, like Harper & Drew or Victoria & Mo/Kate & Mo Yeah they really burn through story (not just romances) at warp speed. Dion was introduced exactly two months ago and he wasn't featured every day for those two months either. In that short time, he's had a secret affair with Jack, come out to his team and family, been picked and then dropped from the league, combated homophobia both on and off the pitch, been diagnosed with cancer, decided against treatment, chose to move in with Jack after dating for a month, and ultimately succumbed in today's episode. All this in TWO MONTHS. Jeez. Was Shorty always like this - treating viewers like we have the attention span of a gnat or is it a recent development trying to keep up with modern trends of instant gratification? Yeah I think it's a more recent thing, though the show has always been rather inconsistent with the quality of its storylines. Jack's storylines in particular have always been really rushed.

Yeah I totally agree with you. Especially since just a month or two after the soap opera episodes air they basically disappear from the internet. There's no way to watch episodes from 2012, for example. I don't get why they are so strict about this considering that they don't make any money on these old episodes anymore.
It used to be different - back in 2013 people were able to post DOOL videos on youtube without any issue.

The trouble is the copyright, any time someone tries to post anything related to Days of our Lives on youtube it is very quickly removed. They're really cracked down on that for some reason.

Is this really the end already? They really rushed through it at the speed of light. In the course of today's episode Dion met Jack's family, hired Jack as PA (wtf?), then dumped him after being 'benched' (whatever that means), stating that he couldn't have a relationship and also succeed at training.

Well they've made Sonny so desperately boring and tedious. I don't understand it. His Titan storyline is so contrived and pointless - since when is he a corporate mogul? He seems to have lost all personality

Well that was fast. Couldn't they have built up to this more slowly? Feels very forced.

I agree. They're barely onscreen these days. Will moved into the Kiriakis mansion, and then they all disappeared, then Will said in a monotone voice that he was divorcing Sonny, then we never saw them again. Basically as soon as Sami left the momentum was lost, now everyone's just wandering around without a purpose. The actors also seem half-dead in their scenes, I guess they're struggling as much as I am to see the point of any of this.

Damn, next week ep, shit is about to go down. I dont want my baby Bruno get hurt, but somehow i can feel it coming. He should get his feelings for Pol off his chest, he has done what he should, now its up to Pol. If Pol really has anything for Bruno, get your shit together and do sth right at least once. One cant be there and wait for u their whole life, take ur chance Pol. Totally agree, don't drag it out Pol.

oh here we go... who is next? lol they should just have a threeway and call it a day That picture looks awkward. I hope it's just the picture. That's because the actors aren't really kissing, they're faking it and you can see it from the picture

Susan's main run on the show was in the 90's soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/susan.php but she also looks identical to Kristen with a wig and bad teeth. At various points Kristen would impersonate her, so it's not even clear if this is the 'real' Susan or not. Susan was the centre of various convoluted melodramatic storylines back in her day. She comes off as incredibly bizarre to me too. But I have trouble taking anything on this show seriously anyway, every story has so many holes in it

Please don't get the writers ideas, it was bad enough the first time. And about forgetting being gay, frankly i was totally expecting that. It's the kind of terrible idea that bad writers love Because who your attracted to can change if your memory does. That makes complete sense. It's insanely stupid. Would a straight person who has amnesia forget that they were straight? No way, not even in a soap opera. This show is just embarrassingly bad sometimes

Yeah I agree. That's a great way to skip all the drama, if that's what they're going for. But this is supposed to be a soap opera?

Yeah they have managed to make Paul pretty boring, which is sad because when he first came on he was pretty promising. A seductive, gay baseball player? There was a lot to play on. His strangely robotic mother, his relationship with John, his habit of flirting with everyone. So of course they skipped over all of it. This show fails miserably at character development. So sad.

oh god, Ringo and Easy will make a terrible couple. Couldn't they have brought in someone new? Both Finn and Julian seemed pretty cool

Glad they're make appearances. Wish they had more airtime. Molly disappeared to India and then only reappeared once briefly afterwards. Jeppe moved in with David yet we barely saw them together. Haven't seen season 3 yet

They said like this: Finn: Können wir nach meine tür gehen? Jetzt können wir noch arger Easy: Es ist nichts gegen dich, aber... es geht mir ein bisschen schnell. Finn: Schon klar, ich wollte dich nicht gleich überfordern.aber fallst du immer noch fragen hast ob du auf männer stehst
rough translation Finn: Can we go to my place? Easy: It's nothing against you, but... this is a bit too fast for me. Finn: Of course. I didn't mean to overwhelm you. But I guess now there is less doubt that you are attracted to men. (?)

Thanks mate! I know this kind of storyline has been done before on German soaps, but it still feels fresh somehow. I like it! I don't think Ringo/Easy would work well together though, so hopefully they don't go there.
