Terri Ivens and DOOL


Recommended Posts

  • Members
Simone (Terri Ivens) just died on AMC, and I'm hoping that Days picks her up! She and James Scott played such a phenominal couple on AMC as Simone and Ethan, that I think it would be great if these two paired up again on a soap as a couple. I'm thinking EJ needs a new lady love! :D

I have to be completely honest, I LOVE Terri Ivens, and would really like her on Days, but we do not need anymore newbies on Days right now. I mean, Days is already having to make budget cuts possibly for Eileen Davidson, Joe Mascolo and Louise Sorel, but also they have to make budget cuts just because they have to as well.

We already have plenty of people/newbies on Days with Nick and Willow, we don't need to be come like OLTL and have a whole batch of them.

jflval, I think that is an excellent idea. I love Terri Ivens. She has great range and was totally wasted at AMC. She resides in LA and I think the soap format is suited well to her lifesyle as a wife and mother.

Days has let go several actors, but I suppose there are several reasons, chief among them being salary and storyline direction of the new Head Writer. Although I do think it is possible for Eileen Davidson to be returning for a limited run to the show, I doubt that JM or LS will be back.

Days does have need of women. With Lexie, Bonnie, Carrie, Stephanie, Jennifer and possibly Mimi all gone, the show NEEDS some women. I would trade Willow for a character played by Terri anyday.

Days is hardly newbie-central these days. The only new characters we've been introduced to this year are Willow, Stephanie, Nick and EJ. And they've all been introduced into existing character's storylines, not in their own set. And Stephanie is going off contract and recurring.

Bring on Ivens.

I kinda agree with Drew. Newbies aren't that bad so long as they are not shoved down our throats and are not in a horrendous storyline. Technically DAYS does not have a horrible SL now (rare! But true!!) so a new character wouldn't be bad. New characters DO work sometimes. EJ is a perfect example of this. He was weaved in perfectly and drew interest without dominating the scene. DAYS can do it again... after all... Kristen was a new character, just a simple social worker who just came to town and started mixing things up with John when Marlena was pregnant with Belle!!

Well, I disagree. EJ should be paired with no one. That man should be used for two things: evil plots and to be a piece of meat who parades around shirtless and sleeps with AT least a different woman, once a week. He should definitely have orgies, too. :wub: I see him as all about mischief and pleasure. Therefore he should plot and NEVER have an honest relationship. EJ, at his best, should be stiff at all times,shamelessly spreading his love ALL over Salem. With EVERY woman in sight, except for perhaps Marlena. But day players, Billie, Chelsea, Kate, Sami, Willow, Mimi...they ALL should have a piece of him. In a perfect world, that's the way it would be. Also, EJ's bedroom should LITERALLY have a revolving door, just to boost his sex appeal.

I do resent the influx of new characters when so many of the vets are leaving but it will create a problem.

Men without women:

Abe

Roman

Victor

Philip

EJ

Reportedly coming:

Connor Lockhart

Rumored to be coming:

Dr. Mike Horton and Jeremy

Uncertain status:

Benji

I liked Terri Ivens on AMC and she was never given the chance to show what she can do as an actress while working there. I think she could play an excellent Dimera, Kiriakis, Drake or Alamain...

If DOOL has to bring in new blood I would like for it to be someone with talent and Terri would definitely be an asset to the show.

More like a gay "month." :)

Anyway, i was thinking about this yesterday and, EJ, if on "Passions," based on the character's money and power and being a spoiled brat his whole life, AND having loose morals that are based on pleasure and power, would TOTALLY be into the leather and S&M scene and all those freaky sexual rituals. It would be hilarious if "Days" had such fun with the character and we saw him decked in leather and whipping a group of girls.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
