DAYS: Tuesday


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I am with Kenny, DrewH, and whoever likes Lumi as friends with benefits occasionally, but not a couple. I also love seeing them scheme together, or at each others throats throwing insults at one another but as sappy lovers NO!

I am behind, so I am having a mini DAYS marathon tonight.

I've got to leave for work, just wanted to say great fight scene between phillip and shawn...very realistic...And i liked Marlena and Kayla interacting, Marlena needs more friends...But i find it funny that the die hard marlena fans can't stand patch and kayla...I swear all they do is [!@#$%^&*] most of the time.....And Linn i don't mean to attack you, i consider you a fan of the show as well as a diehard marlena fan..

Oh God, I miss those days, too!

I loved how Sami would have a devious idea, but Lucas's devious idea differed from hers a bit and then they'd quarrel about it, only to end up in really close proximity trying to pull themselves apart.

Sami and Lucas should have an agreement that they're friends only, and a romantic relationship would never work. It would make fighting the attraction all the more sexy.

Isn't it amazing how diehard fans of one supercouple always HATE other supercouples who threaten their couple's popularity and status on the show? They can't just continue to enjoy their couple while being indifferent to another... it's always a case of, "Ugh! Would someone please kill Patch and Kayla? I HAAATE them! Ugh! Would someone please kill Bo and Hope? They'll never measure up to J/M! Why are they always catered to? I hope they die!" The jealousy is astounding and so obvious. They're not even just indifferent... it's raging HATE. That has to come from somewhere! Jealousy is the only thing I can come up with.

I think some supercouple fans won't be happy until every other character on the show is killed off -- except for the ones who are used as a prop for said supercouple. "Kill off Patch, Kayla, Bo, Hope, etc.! But keep Belle... she's a J/M cheerleader! I LOVE Belle."

There's a small hardcore group (not all J&M fans *waves to Linn*) who refuse to forgive Steve & Kayla for coming back on to the show just as J&M were given 8 weeks off. Their hatred runs wide and deep. But to be fair they (again, that small group, not all) tend to hate anyone they see as taking time/attention from J&M.

(or what Kenny said)

Yeah GBB I have noticed that. I think alot of it is just fanbase jealousy. They don't want to think that another couple is more important then their couple. It's weird but it's all part of the Days fanbase craziness.

I like LUMI is a couple. I don't love them but I like them. I could accept them with others. I did like them as schemers but that was the past. The characters have to mature sometime. I would like both characters to keep their edges and snippiness. I do hate the sappiness but Lucas and Sami are good for each other. One thing Higley and JER did right was how they wrote their relationship. They were a couple but there was energy there. The bickering and snarkiness was there. We haven't see that in awhile. It's been sappiness all the time. The good news is that with the pregnancy twist it will inject something into their story. LUMI has basically been in ice for most of this month until now. Ali rocked that last scene though when she told Lucas she was pregnant. Great ending there. Good scenes with Sami and Lucas. I would've liked to see more about Lexie/Tek like Abe at the crash scene and all. This suggests Lexie will be returning very soon and I wonder if EJ did run them off the road and kidnap them or something like Sami said.

The dream about John that Marlena had was creepy. Now that kind of stuff I don't mind. The hokiness of the coin going missing last week and then the balcony windows opening and Marlena walking out to the balcony-that stuff was hard to buy. Today though was much better with the dream. Good seeing Marlena/Kayla interact too. Glad Steve's episodes are being focused on.

The on the run stuff is so good. JKJ, BB, and MM rocked today. Claire is so adorable!! I loved the Shawn/Philip fight and Steve knocking Philip out and helping Shawn lock him up. Steve lecturing Belle and Shawn on being on the run was good too. I love how they mention the history with Steve/Kayla being on the run. Philip calling his father was good too. I just hope they keep Victor involved and active now that Philip is here.

Good show though. It's been a good week so far.

Oh yeah they can scheme but it won't and can't be what it was before. That is whay I am saying. It can't be about getting stealing another man or woman from someone. Keep them as a couple and have them stir up trouble together and that is fine.

Higley and JER had the right thing going with them before the Stan and Carrie/Austin stuff. They had the bickering, angst, stubborness, etc and that is what makes them good. I like them now but the sappiness is a bit too much and annoying after awhile. If not for this pregnancy, there would be no conflict at all. They need to get back to what we were seeing with them from 2003-2004. That was great stuff and it would really make all the difference.

I never understand this logic of mature people not being schemers. There are plenty of mature schemers on daytime. Adam, Kendall, Stephanie, Carly, Ric, Dorian, David, Phyllis, Jack, etc. And that's just thinking off the top of my head of each show on the daytime line up. What was immature about Sami was that she constantly wanted her parents together, or she was going after Austin. Sami is a self-centered person and her scheming to ensure her happiness is not immature. And Lucas used to be the biggest schemer of them all. He went from being a mama's boy, to a full-fledged scheming partner, to a scheming drunk, to a scheming father, to a completel love sick puppy/cry baby. Now, most of Lucas' life, he's been a schemer and Dattilo is good at it. Happy scenes do not work well for LUMI.

True. For some strange reason, there are lovers loving LUMI :unsure: I can still vent about the destruction of my all-time favorite two characters on DAYS, the two characters that I first caught a glimpse of when I watched my first episode of DAYS. *SIGH*

Lucas and Sami can still scheme, but they should be mature about it. None of this stealing other people's SO's and high school crap like that.

What Sami's facing now, lying to everyone about what really happened between her and EJ to keep her loved ones safe is more on par with a more matured, but still uncertain Sami. Not trying to reunite her parents or pulling the junk that Chelsea has done.

I don't mind them together, but they're not a big favorite of mine.

I just watched on SoapNet.

LOVED that ending with Sami and Lucas! Very dramatic, even though I knew it was going to happen. I love how Hogan didn't show us Sami taking a pregnancy test beforehand... made her confession to Lucas that much more unexpected. You expected her to tell the truth about the rape, then she sideswipes you with that news instead. Great stuff! Ali Sweeney has been on a roll!

    • @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.
