DAYS: Monday


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I hate when soaps show a scene on the preview and cut it out of the show. I still don't know how I feel about Billie/Nick. I think this is gonna lead into the Chelsea/Nick s/l moreso than something forming between Billie and Nick. I loved the Sami/Roman scenes and I could tell how torn Sami was about whether or not she should tell Roman what really happened. I liked the Chelsea/Maggie convo and Maggie telling Chelsea that was the Chelsea she knew and loved after she disses Willho.

I may be in the minority, but Lexie can't get off my screen soon enough. She does nothing for me. All she seems to do is tell one lie to cover another one. The same goes for Steve and Kayla. They do nothing for me. I like Steve by himself or even with Billie, but with Kayla, I just tune him out.

I loved today's show because even though IMO it was a filler, it didn't seem like it.

I always suspected that her insta-love with Steve would help put her in some downward cycle. But I still think they are going to do something more with it in regards to Steve. What was with his obsession to see Billie right after the quarantine? Maybe the quickness and awkwardness of it, the fast 180 Steve did after he came back from Cincy AND Stephen Nichols comments make me think that more will be revealed. But maybe that is just my wishful thinking . . .

I so enjoyed Julie Pinson and Billie today. I've been harsh on both but I fell for them today. Billie is slowly turning into my favorite character now that Lexie's leaving. I really enjoyed her scenes with Nick.

It's always nice to see Maggie on. I loved how she gave Chelsea a job.

Abe & Lexie were quite boring today. Lexie was HOT in that dress. She also was alot more [!@#$%^&*]y today. I hope to god that if they bring her back they turn her into the evil Lexie again. Renee Jones shines when Lexie is evil.

Steve & Kayla bored me.

I really like the way the flashbacks were today. I usually hate to see the previous days scenes everyday. This however was different and do believe it did help in the story.

I do have to say, WTF Roman, they saw Lexie's car but didn't see EJ?! Didn't he say they were taking license and car registrations. How could they miss him. I mean, he is a 6'5" man. Sure he had on black, but come on. GMAB! :lol:

Loved Chelsea calling Willow the pyro--hooker, I knew it was coming and I still snorted.

Julie Pinson, I am absolutely loving her right now. Can't wait for more. Loved how they showed her getting the alcohol.

Billie and Nick was awesome. That conversation they had, both of them talking from the heart...

"What you really want is for someone to hold you... and to kiss you..."

SO HOT!! They didn't even take their clothes off, and it was so hot.

I know it's unlikely that they'll be paired as a couple, but damn it, those scenes at the end were just too sweet.

Days is getting so close to being a true soap opera again; where there is good acting and genuine emotion. I'm really impressed with Blake

Berris, and think that Nick is turning out to be a really great character. And I think if Julie Pinson continues to get good material, and she tweaks

her performance just a bit, she can be right up there with actresses like Michelle Stafford and Maura West. I just wish DAYS would do something with its music; there is just something about it that takes me out of the scenes somewhow; it's hard to explain

What in Our Savior's name?!!!!

NBC, you IDIOTS!!!

Did you not have the decency to air promos saying the shows would air today?!!!

I did NOT watch either NBC daytime soap.

Why?

Because the stupid network -- the same one that is considering canceling my baby, according to rumors -- for the first time, ever it seems, AIRS ON NEW YEAR'S?!!!!!

DANG IT!!!@#$$%%%%%@#^^^

I know what you mean. The background music is almost something that pokes fun at the show. The show takes itself seriously now, but the background music still suggests silliness. They don't mix well at all.

JSF-there was a thread talking about NBC having soaps today :)

Today's show was ok. Nothing like what we have been getting but, to me, this felt like a filler and story building episode. Almost like Days didn't want to do too much knowing it was a holiday and all. It's cool-it was still good. However, I did not like not seeing the Marlena/Sami scene. Hopefully, they put that scene in somewhere because I wanted to see that. It looked so good.

Billie and Nick were the highlight. The scenes came off wonderful and Berris is quite the find. He did really well and Pinson put in a stellar performace. I loved her reverting to old habits. She was unbelievable. She needs her own story fast because this girl is emmy-caliber. Loved that end scene with them-hotness. The letter-reading was good too.

Loved Abby's scenes with Nick and her little conversation with Maggie. Maggie/Chelsea was good and so was Chelsea as a waitress. :lol:

Steve/Kayla were cute. I loved them when she was examining him and I am intrigued by his episodes involving the tarot card.

Abe/Lexie were boring and I am really wondering where Abe's sight story is going. I am enjoying every last minute of having RJ here. :(

The Roman/Sami stuff was good. I felt the flashbacks were used well (most flashbacks we have gotten in months) and Ali was really good. Her reaction to John being shot should make Roman angry so I was wondering why he didn't react more but whatever. I can't beleive Roman never asked the cop at the roadblack to describe the driver of the car :lol: .

An ok show to start out the year. I know the rest of the week will be better so bring it on :D

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
