DAYS: Will J&M and Bope be more involved in this vendetta storyline?


Recommended Posts

They don't need a freaking bedroom scene to have a personal and private discussion. They have no problem using the living room set at Bo and Hope's house when it comes to Chelsea/Jett/Nick. And it's a known fact that married couples sometimes have sex in their living rooms, so if we do need to have Bo and Hope have a romantic scene, they can get hot and heavy on the couch.

And speaking of sets that DAYS cannot afford, what the hell happened to the new home that J&M were supposed to be getting? First of all, I don't even recall Marlena even telling John that she sold the penthouse. Did that really even happen? And another thing, I believe Thaao said that J&M would be getting their penthouse back, but it would be refurbished like they did with the DiMera mansion set. Is that happening soon, or will it happen after Soap Star is finished?

Marlena told him when he first woke up. I believe there was a mention of it happening after Soapstar but I don't remember. Thaoo mentioned it and said it would happen soon but nothing specific.

I didn't say they needed a bedroom scene. All I meant was it seems Days only uses so many sets at a time. We usually see a set alot for a period of time and then it goes MIA for awhile so that is why I think it's hard to do that. Bope's house was used Friday so we may see it used alot this coming week and then we don't see it again for a month. That has been the pattern and that is why I think it will be hard given the show's current situation.

Bo and Hope's house is pretty much a peramanet fixture now, and is pretty much the only one right now. It's been featured throughout all of this budget nonsense and so it coudl defintely be used for a quiet evening for Bo and Hope. It's just Hogan doesn't write romance and sometimes romance is what is is needed.

He did! I mean, some of that stuff was the best stuff in years! They were snarky, sexy, bickering, funny and adorable all while being devoted and completely in love with each other. They were John & Marlena the way I love them the most. John and Marlena bicker, that's what they do. They're both stubborn, so they'll disagree until John folds because Marlena's his one real weakness (the same way she is Stefanos if they'd actually involve her in that story). And it was awesome. It was cute, romantic, she was all sassy like she should be. And one of the best proposals in Daytime in years.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
