Well, this was a rollercoaster of a week — and I don’t just mean the wedding drama. Because once again, the pacing drove me a bit nuts. We went from the high of Monday’s wedding bombshells to just dropping the fallout for two days to push through episodes that were a bit more of a slog. So let’s dive into this week’s Days of Our Lives…

So Long, Farewell

I can’t help but feel like this week would have played out better if stories like “Beverett” and Connie were woven through the bigger wedding stuff, rather than swinging back and forth and dropping Monday’s exciting threads for days. I really enjoyed Thursday and Friday, but the wedding lost some momentum from that break.

But by Friday, I was a bit impressed with how they wove Holly, Nicole and Eric into the wedding drama. From Eric and Justin comparing notes on how they both had their sons ripped from them and given back, to Maggie offering to take Holly in. I guess Eric is leaving with Nicole after all — but I’m still waiting to see if it’s permanent or not.

Still, now we know. They’re leaving, Holly’s staying and EJ’s back to being a complete jerk… Which is, honestly, my favorite EJ. Petty, vindictive and manipulative. And more than a little vicious. His confrontation with Eric set up Nicole’s exit better than anything else. And his Holly threat was utterly cruel and despicable. Now that’s Stefano’s son!

Though I was a bit flabbergasted that Eric killing Daniel is all still a big secret. Has Holly never asked about her dad? Never googled what happened to him? Everyone in town and her life knows. It was kind of strange.
