DAYS: Talk about a slap in the face!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

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. :)

    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
    • I don't think Lisa served a purpose after the serial killer storyline. The writers never gave her anything to do but be Vicky's nemesis. Joanna Going deserved better. Another example of a character taking over the show and then the writers not having a longterm plan for the character.  Exhibit B: Sally Spencer. Such a missed opportunity. It really angers me how they misused her. She could sing and act and they just threw her away in that sexist nonsense storyline. Once the story was over, they wrote her off. The McKinnons should have lasted for years. I will give the show credit for how they introduced Sandra Ferguson as Amanda. I thought it was expertly done. She comes in and she immediately connected to RKK's Sam. She has chemistry with Matthew and she has realistic conversations with MAc and Rachel. That's how it is done.
