DAYS: Tuesday's Episode...


Recommended Posts

Two days in a row DAYS has made me cry. First yesterday, when Belle let out that heartbreaking cry when she lost Claire and then today when Sami made her little speech to John. And I always tear up when Marlena lays down on the bed beside John and talks to him. I'm loving this!

Willow--I hate her so bad but that little scene with Shawn was so great. She definitely has his number.

I always look at the end credits to see who wrote the eppy and who in the hell is Bettina Bradbury? Whoever she is I loved the snappy dialogue today and hope she keeps it up. Has she ever written for a soap before?

On to today's show:

Todays show just flowed flawlessly to me. I liked Willow and Shawn going at it with Maggie telling Willow whose boss and telling her to look elsewhere for a job. Mimi/Phillip scenes were chilling, I couldn't believe I was THAT interested in a scene with Farah Fath involved but I was. Sami/Marlena scenes were just so well done, Deidre rocked her scenes today. Lauren Koslow and Bryan Datillio play off each other very well as they actually had a realistic talk for once and used their brains.I know I am keeping this short and sweet, but I am way behind on homework. So far this week has rocked, can't wait for this week to unfold.

I really enjoyed the script from today's show. I believe this was the first time that Bettina (forgot her last name) wrote a script and I thought that she did an admirable job. I really appreciated the incorporation of characterization particularly with Kate, Mimi, Phillip and Lucas. Even Sami, John and Shawn to some degree.

The highlights of the show for me were the Sami/John bedside scenes, the Lucas/Kate convo and surprisingly enough the Phillip/Mimi scene as well. I just love seeing JKJ on my screen again. It's so strange to see how he's matured over the years. It's going to take some time for me to get used to seeing him this way--so evil and everything. He's doing a good job with it. It's just weird to me.

I appreciated that Bettina/Hogie (not sure who's responsible) mentioned Lucas' inferiority complex when it comes to Austin in his conversation with Kate. That was a nice touch and great throwback to Lucas' history. Whoever added that piece of dialogue in there, thank you. I continue to hope that this Sami rape storyline will give Lucas the opportunity to mature just as we've seen Sami mature over these past few months...

Anyway, good show!! I think one of the reasons why it was so enjoyable for me was b/c there were less characters on the show and the scenes for my faves were longer (over 20 minutes for Kate/Lucas; Sami/Marlena and Lumi scenes for instance)....

Loved the Sami scenes today, her talks with John and with Marlena. AS made me cry when she started talking to John. It does bother me a bit that she only seems to be getting love/acceptance from Marlena and the rest of her family now that she's done something heroic. I hope their support doesn't evaporate when the truth comes out.

Still hate Willow and I'm really growing to like BB's Shawn, but I laughed my ass off when she played Shawn like a fiddle and called him on being so easily manipulated.

Can't wait for tomorrow's show.

I loved today's show as well.

My favorite part were the Phillip/Mimi scenes. At some moments JKJ protrayal of Phil was scary..like he did change from that nice guy to this pessimist. I loved FF's reaction to the whole change.

That Willow has some brass ones...but she was dumb enough to admit to the bribe and challenge Maggie to believe her against her nephew Shawn.

It's been a long time since I have wanted to watch as soon as I get home. Great Days stuff!!

Great show today.

BB was great. I loved the scenes with Willow. What a [!@#$%^&*]!! When she asked to kiss him and pulled away when she did, I was so mad. I despise her and loved Maggie firing her and telling her off.

Mimi vs Philip was good. JKJ is doing so well and I loved how he called her out on her actions. I was surprised when she found the passport. I knew they all found out Philip's plan somehow but it shocked me. Mimi coming to Shawn was nice. I like seeing them interacting now. FF is actually good this week (pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming).

Sami/John/Marlena was great. Loved the acting by Dee and Ali. Dee looked great and I love how Sami admitted her love to John. History-rich scenes and great acting-loved it. The coin thing was hokey but whatever. The acting is making up for it. Marlena's reaction to Sami's hero praise was good too.

Lucas/Kate was pretty good. I still get upset when Rex and Cassie aren't mentioned. Glad Lucas told her off and I just knew she was lying to him and Sami when she apologizes and all. Classic Kate going outside the door and revealing her true colors :lol: .

The new SW did good today. Solid show. Tomarrow looks good as well.

The best part of the entire show was Marlena and Sami and Sami's sitting by John's side and talking to him. I swear sometimes I think that Hogan is reading what we say.... :lol: I know several folks were talking about how no matter what Sami did to John, how she treated him, he was still by her side. He never stopped loving her...and it was awesome to hear her say it to Marlena...I'm loving the transition they are doing with Sami....I just hope they don't turn around and have her go back to her ways because of Kate's constant and annoying meddling.

Great show this was! The highlight was Sami/John. I absolutely cannot wait for her to repeat what she said when he's awake. Sami's treatment of John has always been the worst sign of her immaturity and stagnation as a character. I think it's fantastic that HS has made a point of addressing this relationship. I would like to see a proper Sami/John reconciliation story rather than just a few scenes, though.

Kate/Lucas was very good too.

And Deidre was rocking in this episode.

    • 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.
