PSNS: Grace's "Death"


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Hey everyone,

I'm going to go on the record and say that Grace is not really dead. I believe her secret and her being presumed dead are the precursor to a bigger story taking place in February Sweeps. I have a feeling Grace will be back on screen in February and we'll learn what her secret is. February is the next big sweeps period, and having her turn out to be alive is a sweeps stunt JER would pull.

Now I'm not saying Grace and Sam will reunite in February, but I do believe we will learn she's either gone into hiding or been kidnapped.

This show needs to stop with their presumed dead things. Days does too. I know other soaps have done it, but these two soaps have done this too many times. This was exactly how Antonio died, if he even did. That's one reason it needs to stop. Is because JER can't think up new death methods so he's gonna use the same ones over and over. Now I know you can only die so many ways, but I just hope this technique is not repeated over and over.

I've said this before, and this is really sad, even though I adore Grace and Dana, I really don't care anymore. This show has gone down the tubes and as much as I don't want to see it cancelled because of it's potential and the Daytime genre, I don't really care that much anymore, the storylines are stupid and not taken seriously and it has a writer that acts like a child.

Just like I called Grace "dying" back in October, I am calling she will be back as well. February may be too soon but if the show has a feeling it is going off or needs to do something big then they may bring her in February (this is assuming JER gives a damn).

I don't care either. Everything about the show is a mess and it needs so much help. They should have had Grace return and interupt Suvy's wedding since they were building to a wedding there anyway. I would've been fine waiting longer and seeing that last week instead of Fox/Kay/Miguel hell. That would've been a much better payoff then Grace learning the truth on the phone and confronting everyone on the phone.

Grace confronting everyone on the phone was okay to me because it paved the way for huge fireworks upon her arrival in town. (Obviously JER never intended the reveal to happen this way, since I doubt he planned on writing Grace out for two years) But it fell flat because upon learning the truth, she told Sam she was taking the next flight back to Harmony (way back on November 2), but didn't even make it to the airport until after Christmas! Everyone returned from Rome in one episode..why'd it take Grace so long to get back from London?

Also, notice how they made a rather big deal over there being multiple shuttle buses (rather than THE one and only shuttle bus)...me thinks the priest blew up the wrong bus...

Rion, Dana sounded very bitter in that interview she did. This is not givintg fans what they want and don't give me that BS that JER didn't plan on writing her out when he did. The show cut them to recurring due to budget but I also remember reading JER was backburnering the story for a bit. They treat Dana like crap and I wish she would turn them down unless they are serious about writing her the way they should.

The phone conversation crap only paved the way for fan disgust. There is no excuses for it. When you wait 4-5 years for a payoff, give the fans a payoff. That wasn't a payoff-it was a sloppy, rush-job of a reveal.

    • @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.
