DAYS: Wednesday May 2


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I didn't see a thread, did anyone start one?

EJ: "I wouldn't want to overstay my welcome."

Me: Oh, if you only knew.

Kate/Celeste/Abe was fun, I enjoyed myself.

Ashley Benson's website said May 2 was her last day ... that seriously wasn't her exit, was it? I enjoyed the Chelsea/Steph/Abby scenes more than I thought I would but I still think the characterization on this show could use a bit more sophistication. I'm glad Abby/Chelsea found some sort of emotional meeting ground today.

Tinda Lau again tomorrow, something else that needs to wrap up SOON.

LOVED Kate, Celeste and Abe. Nice to see Abe still has his brain too...

Was it me, or was there a flicker of guilt in EJ's eyes today? I'm not sure if it was intentional on JS/the director's part, or if I'm reading too much into it... but maybe Celeste's words the other day and Sami's high blood pressure are finally starting to bring out his human side?

Could have done without the kids. And I'm usually a fan, but it didn't really move anything forward.

brimke, I saw EJ's (hot) human side, too. It was guilt.

That being said, WHAT is "Days" writers' problem?!! Or what in the HELL did Shayna do that made them hate her so much? Today we got yet ANOTHER slam against her. Yesterday, the knock on SR's looks and today, the fact that the new Stephanie is SO much hipper than the old Stephanie. Both of which were blamed on "DAYTON," where Dayton really means the casting change.

IT'S SICK!

I don't think it's so much a grudge against Shayna, but the writers are acknowledging the current actress' status as Teen USA or whatever it is she has. They can't spell it out as it's out of character, but writing in those beauty lines are inside references for the actress and those viewers who watched the pageant. Maybe it's their way of "gaining" viewers? I think it's tacky.

Damm so we aren't even going to get a final max and abby episode..if this was really her last day then i'm pissed..But it really was Ashley Benson's fault for not giving the show notice that she was leaving...Todays show was pretty snoozeworthy...except for Abe, Kate, and Celeste..Those scenes were excellent..Its days like today where i love Kate...

Exactly Kev. I would be more mad had Ashley not handled it how she did. Plus, we know they are going to recast sometime in late summer/fall and she has always been backburnered so we aren't going to feel no impact with her being gone. She is hardly on now so it will be like she is still there in presence. The only time you will really notice is when the Horton's are around or when Max is on. I wish she would be here for the wedding but whatever.

Today was ok. Nick/Willow bored me but at least it went somewhere yet again. Chelsea/Abby/Stephanie was somewhat entertaining. I don't see how anything Days is doing is digging at Shayna. The character has changed and they are just using dialogue to have people comment on it and get the differences across. That's all. I like the young set in moderation and the last two weeks they haven't been forced on us so hope that keeps up.

Nice to see Abe and loved his scenes with Kate. I loved seeing Celeste again. Tanya has to be loving this. She gets to be an actual character again and not a gimmick. These three were the best part of today. The way Kate flirting with Abe, snuck around, found the picture (glad that pic turned up), and then managed to get out of the house. Like how Abe's vision is still playing a role. I like how Kate mocked Celeste and her "darling" phrase. That was a nice line when Kate said "See you at the wedding." Good stuff.

Sami/Lucas was good. I like that Lucas seems to know something is up. Sami/EJ was a surprise because he showed compassion for the first time. He is human and for the first time in months we saw that today. I liked that.

Nothing special but still some progression and not a horrible show.

I liked today's episode. The Abe/Kate/Celeste stuff was very entertaining. And Kate looked great! I love the side part in her hair and the long bangs. But I really wanted Celeste to grab a handful of that hair and yank it and then snatch the picture from Kate's purse. I think Kate may be getting herself into some trouble here by messing with the Dimera plan.

This was the second time in the last month or so that I've caught a glimpse of EJ's human, compassionate side. The first was at Sami's shower, when they were in her bedroom and she started to cry. The second was today. It makes me very curious about what's really going on with EJ. Could there be a man inside the monster? His comment about Sami's wedding present also caught my attention, and I have a feeling this wedding "present" is not going to be something from her gift registry. I love it that this story is moving--finally--and I'm actually looking forward to finding out what's going to happen next.

Today's show was boring but Kate/Celeste/Abe was a highlight. James & Lauren looked like they enjoyed the chance to work together. Hogan has totally changed my opinion of Celeste, who I hated under JER. He's replaced the gaspy, skittish clairvoyant with a confident and menacing woman. It was cool to see her come up against another witch in Kate.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people. Edit to add: The reason this may be impossible to source, and therefore of no use, is because it was not a public statement. She is supposed to have said it at the show, about the show, to colleague/s, one of whom repeated it in public, but that is convoluted to try to track down, so feel free to ignore. I did do some looking & I am not optimistic.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
