DAYS: Talk about a slap in the face!

So, I was just over at SC, and apparently many of the John/Marlena fans sent in a bedding set to kickstart a campaign to get a J/M lovescene ("We want to see J/M between the sheets!")

Anyway, turns out... the very expensive bedding set (paid for by the J/M fans) was used in a scene with Steve and Kayla either yesterday or today, LMAO! How horrible is that? I mean, wow... what a slap in the face! Our very own "Pest Spray" even put money in on the bedding set. And rather than using it for a J/M love scene, they give it to Steve and Kayla.

I saw this on a few other boards.

It's not that big of a deal. They may use it for many couples. J&M may get to use it in the future when it is called for. How do they it's the same one and, even if it is, there are budget issues so maybe the show felt like using it for more then just J&M.

I think it's kind of nuts that a fanbase even did this. Honestly, this is just a fanbase getting worked up over nothing, something that has been happening alot lately in regards to believing screentime and budget rumors and the like. There is no proof that this won't be used for J&M. If it goes months and it isn't used for them but for others, fine but, otherwise, whatever. Sounds like a non-issue to me at this juncture.

I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe it's all the endless fanbase complaining and all so I can't feel bad about this but since J&M are not being used all that much maybe they decided to use it for Steve/Kayla at the moment to save cash. They may use it for J&M later or something. Plus, no one knows if this is the same one. It could be a coincidence.

I won't jump to conclusions. If John wakes up and J&M never use the bedroom set and others do, fine it's a slap in the face. Otherwise, it may be a little too early to go nuts about this IMO.

^^^I don't know. It's like imagine those cakes that the fans sent in for Julia Barr, and then in an episode they have a food fight featuring those cakes or something. Okay, not the best example, but I think that was absurd on the part of TPTB at DAYS. It's like you're spitting in the fan's faces basically. I KNOW DAYS can't be that cheap for a bed.

I think the cake thing isn't the same sort of issue.

I mean, there is no way of knowing it's even the same bed or whatever. I guess I just see it as a non-issue. It can always be used for J&M somewhere down the line or maybe it was a mistake by a crew member who had no idea it was for them specifically and used it. Sometimes I wish people would wait and get the concrete facts first before losing it over things because there is no way of knowing if this is actually a valid reason to get upset, a misunderstanding, or just something that happened by accident.

They could have thrown it into the trash or given it to the Salvation Army. I think the soap should not accept gifts from fans requesting they be used on the sets at all much less demanding a love scene between characters. That is presumptious and not very good business minded, either. So far Hogan has not had revealing sex scenes and I've been applauding that. John and Marlena are as interesting to me as Caroline and Shawn, Sr. when it comes to watching them in bed. Gross.

I agree. Seriously, alot of the Days fanbases are way too volatile lately. They are jumping on anything they can to complain right now. I mean no one knows if it was the actual item sent or if it was a mistake or something. J&M may still end up using it. They won't right now so let Steve/Kayla have it. Who cares? :lol:

It's arguable to say that they are the most popular couple as a whole of the 40+ years that the show has been on the air. But for those fans that were brought on during the Reilly era, John and Marlena are it. And that includes me. :)

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
