DAYS: Musings...


Recommended Posts

1) I was just thinking that Chelsea doesn't have to be Bo's. At about the time Chelsea/Georgia was conceived (in the summer of 1997), Billie was tied to a bed in Rome and being drugged by drug lord JL King's good Max to turn Billie back into a junkie. Now it was also implied that he raped her during that time. Maybe Max is Chelsea's real father?

2) I miss Mimi already. I've always loved Farah Fath, and I thought her exit was really sad (but extremely rushed, considering Sheffer has known since his stint began that she'd be leaving in February). I think I'll even miss Bonnie. I'd like to see Farah return as Mimi in the future, and perhaps have her and Philip fall in love as they raise their baby from the surrogate.

3) Everytime I happen to pass by Days, it's always the same characters on: Sami, Lucas, EJ, Patch, Kayla, Willow, Shawn, Belle, Philip, Chelsea, Max, Nick, Abby, and this new Jed guy. Where are John and Marlena, and Bo and Hope? Why aren't Maggie, Shawn, Caroline, and Alice being utilized?

4) Willow is like the worst thing to happen to Days. The actress is terrible! And don't even get me started on her physical appearance. Willow's trash. Kill her off!

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I catch Days maybe once a week (this week I tuned in for Mimi's last episode), and those are my thoughts.

Interesting thoughts, RionPassions. :)

I wasn't watching back then, but that's really interesting. If they ever brought Max back, I could see that being a storyline possibility.

I'm going to miss Mimi and Bonnie too!! Judi and Farah have been two of my favorites in these passed few years. I'd really like a Mimi/Philip relationship. They never really explored that and I think that they should have. I'm curious to know if this surrogate story will continue. Probably not...

Ughh I know!! Sami, Lucas, and Willow are two characters that I might can take everyday. Abby, Shelle, Patch, and Kayla are okay in moderation. I'd rather see Chelsea, Max, Nick, and Jed just once in a blue moon. Maggie is on quite a bit too, but just for a few scenes every now and then at the restaurant. I'd like to see more of Caroline and Alice. As for EJ, KILL THE MAN OFF!!

LOL I love her. Well, part of that love is because I'm hoping that she's Jan (my favorite character in the HISTORY of days).

PERFECT story!!!! I totally remember that newly made flashback scene with Jan's mom. It was something like

JAN: I'm going back to Salem.

MRS. SPEARS: Over my dead body!

JAN: Have it your way.

---> The storyline possibilities for Jan are endless. Give her back to me, Hogan!!

I'd love Jan back as well. Sigh. She had lots of potential. One of the few things I loved about Reilly's return was how he wrote Jan.

I'd like to see Alice more. We've seen her ONCE since 9/07 and that was on Christmas. I know Frances is over 90, but up until September, she was used at least once or twice a month. Has something happened or does Sheffer just not want to use her? Caroline and Shawn had a huge increase in airtime for a while there and now they aren't seen at all, which sucks. They can't cost that much -- use them instead of having Steve and Kayla just talking to each other for the entire month of February ... lol.

I do like Maggie being used more now than she was, or at least it's more noticeable. She has a better presence. I think Hogan might like her.

    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
    • That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.
    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that. 
    • That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited. And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.
    • I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
    • That was one of the best grandslam finals.  Alcaraz comes all the way back down 2 sets to 0, and three match points in the 3rd set, to win it in a 5th set tie-break.  And the quality of play was excellent - so many great shots.  What a battle!
