DAYS: "Geezers, Step Aside!"


Recommended Posts

I don't even count Jan, Willow Chelsea or Nicole as villians. Jan and Willow are just irrational fools who need to locked in the loony bin. Chelsea is just an annoying spoiled little brat who if Bo, Hope or Billie had taken seriously wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell and Nicole while she could be calculating and manipulative her villianess (at least what I saw of it) was kept mainly to Sami and Greta and was nothing but immature juvenile antics and name calling to humiliate her foes.

The trouble with DAYS and their attempts to create female villians is that so many times they just come off as irrational hysterial crazies who are just very very VERY desperate for a man.

Normally I wouldn't agree but I trust Hogan with this passing of the torch, if you will.

Shelle has become viable and rootable under Hogan. EJ has become a great villain under him. Now it's time for Philip to carry the torch of the Kiriakis'. I am ok with this as long as we still see Victor in some role in this and I think we will. This story has been about Philip all along and Victor was just carrying out the acts for him because he couldn't. I am fine with this because you can only keep things up with Stefano, Victor, etc for so long. It allows the canvas to remain fresh and we have seen characters like Victor and Stefano go through everything. Time for the next generation to go through all that. I jsut want Victor to be around. He doesn't have to be on every day but the way he has been featured has been perfect and I think Hogan will keep that up. I mean, Caroline and Maggie have been used quite a bit too just like him so I think we will keep seeing him.

I love that Hogan does most of the talking for Days now. It's better then Corday who only gives us a load of crap usually. The title of the article was a bit harsh but that really wasn't Hogan's fault.

And, for me, I would love to see, one day, E.J. and Philip go toe-to-toe. Since no one ever had the foresight to match Victor Vs. Stefano, let these two young turks do battle to see who really is the baddest of them all.

IA with the article, if not the title. :)

And, if memory serves, they only had one scene together in all the years they both have been on the show.

A shame, really. Well, hopefully Hogan and Co. will have the foresight to rectify that. It would be one hell of a story.

I completely agree. Hogan has done a fine ass job at defining Salem's next generation. He's given life to new characters (Abby, Chelsea, Max, EJ, etc.). He is fixing the crap that was done to other characters (Shawn, Belle, Philip, Mimi, etc.) and he's finally maturing characters that have acted the same way since they were first introduced as teenagers in the 90s (Sami and Lucas).

I say that the next generation is going to be great. I don't mind Shawn and Belle taking over BOPE's place. I don't mind Philip becoming the next Victor, the same thing with EJ as Stefano. Max and Abby are clearly the next Jack and Jennifer. I don't have a problem with these things anymore because we have a writer that knows how to write character development. It's nice to see the future parallels :)

    • 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.
