DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread
I noticed last Friday, a fairly good day, that it was David Kriezman & Scott McKinsey, two faves. I was thinking the other day that about a year ago Scott told me that then they were taping 8 episodes per week & he said basically that it just about turns your head around in a cricle trying to grasp doing so many shows, so fast. And he indicated at that time that there would be no way they could do any more. Of course, they've been doing 10 per week for a good while. I figure the pressure these people are working under is immense.

NBC made all the promos for their soaps. This one I find to be utterly embarrassing!

So, just the usual. Natch. David O'Brien playing Lisa's shrink & also serial killer/stalker.

I know it's off-topic but what problem did you have with Stavros that time?

Of the DiMeras keep Chad, keep Kristen & keep EJ. Johnny to me is a dreadful bore. Stefan, I mean why do we need him?

So appalling that Getty Images had the photo of Lauren Martin labeled as Esta.

To me today, again like yesterday, Jarly was the highlight. Michael & Kristina was excellent, as Michael was the day before as well. Ned & Tracy was a nice moment. I'm just not that into Luke stuff. I can't remember if Michael knows that Kristina witnessed the beat-down because Ava does know & if she's on the stand, sworn in, she can have Scott ask her about that night. If Sonny's assault of Dex comes out in Family Court it could be a deciding factor.

What I figure is that they waited to fire him so the WGA wouldn't fine them. Have to wait a certain amount of time after a strike. I know they would always say "can't afford to" but at times one needs to.

DAYS: Our hopes for the new HW’s
I've done this already two other places. I gladly do it again here. First, agree about tone & style. Latex masks, back from the dead, demonic possession not done well, etc. Also agree about Leo, and about too many DiMeras & not enough Hortons. So, to it. My list. Bope, Recast Sami, we all know my primary nominee. Cast Sydney. Avery Pohl has been suggested. Theo & Claire. Martha Madison. If they could get Lindsay Arnold back, plum! But most of all, tell a totally different kind of story. More heart, more family dynamics. I'd love to see Mark Valley & Cady McClain run the paper again. Find some way to bring Laura, Abby & Adrienne back. Oh, I forgot JJ. And my last wish is possibly the most important one of all, throw out 3-4 months of writing that hasn't been taped yet & get us a little bit closer to reality. 10 months out is just too wrong.

This is what it's like to try to read your posts! I don't know why we even try. Now, everyone else, I am caught up again on DAYS! Well, I've seen up to & including yesterday. I really like Fiona. Am I crazy? I was so incredibly happy to finally have this reveal. I was disappointed that Alex didn't have more ... something. Also, even though it was predictable, I'm pissed that he did not say he was sorry. He's treated Justin so badly! And, I think about all the money he's spent. At a minimum he was angry at & shouted at Theresa. Loved also Andrew getting onto his sister. I'm glad he's here. Paul, too. But why are they? Another predictable thing. Leo took the cake, or one of them. Everyone should be amazed, horrified, up in arms but this is Salem after all & everyone is pretty calm.

I saw this movie when I was in junior high at the neighborhood cinema as half of a double feature & it was the scariest movie I had ever seen in my entire laugh. We screamed bloody murder! https://rumble.com/v57x702-i-saw-what-you-did-1965-joan-crawford-movie-trailer.html

2024: The Directors and Writers Thread
I suppose he could've gone on vacation for a month? (Joking.) Anyway, it will become known at some point. Worth noting as a definite trend, though. Especially since they hired a new BDW.

I understand. Now someone else suggests that Matthew Cory was named so after the Matthews family. Obviously, people do use family names in that way. Mostly I find this interesting.
