DAYS: Wednesday


Recommended Posts

  • Administrator

Pretty good show today. I was really intrigued by Stefano/Rolf's scenes. First, who is this old nemesis who is alive and returning to exact revenge? Second, who is the patient that is recovering and it sounded like Stefano is going to use this patient to fight the nemesis. I'm assuming John is either the nemesis or the patient and if he's one of them, who is the other? Hmm....very interesting!

Oh no! Ford's dead? Damn, I hope not. I hope he just had a slow heart rate (due to the drugs) and that's why they couldn't find a pulse. I liked Noel Maxam's directing for these scenes: going up the stairs, Ford falling down, the dissolves from girls to Ford's body, and then the last scene with the girls dragging out the body and fading out on the sorority logo on the floor.

This storyline with the sorority sisters is a whole lot better than the ATWT story that had Maddie and Gwen thinking they killed Adam.....

I was wondering who Stefano was talking about too with Rolf in term of his nemesis...also, it peaked my curiousity when he said he 'should have finished him off the first time".....

I truly am loving Days with each passing day, and with the timeline change, it makes it easy for me to know exactly what show to watch.

I was pleasantly happy with today's episode...the whole set up of the episode was very good...

I will comment on the sorority stuff for a sec....When they kept talking about all the reasons why not to go to the police and when they kept zooming to Ford's lifelessness, all I could keep think about was how possibly whatever was in his sytem just stopped his heart a bit (don't know why, but that's what kept coming to mind for some reason)...

What I want to know is when is Stephanie going truly reach her breaking point to the point of telling what happened to her? I've been waiting for her to say something.... I know the moment she does open up, Papa Steve is gonna be right there...

Wow..I'm loving this Sorority storyline..todays episode was pretty shocking..I especially liked the scene when all the girls were sitting in a circle around Ford's dead body..that was creepy..the flashbacks from Morgan, Cordy and Steph were a nice touch..Also liked that they kept Chelsea out of it for the whole episode as she was drugged yesterday...And the end with Carmen saying its just beginning was great..I'm looking forward to the storyline changing course...

Tony and Anna got me to watch the EJ scenes today...But i wonder how long they are going to be gone traveling abroad? I've heard that Anna is in the Christmas Eve episode., so thats some good news....Also the Stefano and Rolf scenes added some much needed mystery to the show...We have a nemesis and a patient to uncover!!!

I'm one of those fans of both Lumi and Ejami..but i'm so sick of this story..The Lumi sex was lame and so was EJ playing nice and bringing over Johnny..

Also nice to see Caroline and Marlena in the previews..

I for one am tired of all things Lucas/Sami/EJ; their scenes just didn't do much for me....not that it took anything away from the episode, but I just watch and then focus what's to come...

Definitely Carmen's words will ring true.... You were spot on when you said that the whole sitting around Ford's body added the creepy effect of the storyline (mix that with the music, that too sent chills down my spine)....

I still think about to the interview Matt Ford did on ITZ and how he said we have a lot to be expecting in this storyline...I can't wait to see it.

The one brief scene with lucas/sami/ej didn't bother me, and since lucas was talking in a way that seemed more natural, I kind of liked the interaction. (If lucas would talk like this more often, I think I'd like him better).

I loved the DiMera scenes - all of them from Stefano/Rolf to Tony/Anna with EJ and then Stefano. Since Andre was "killed" I've missed TP a lot and having Tony *and* Anna was a bonus. I really enjoy his conversations when he's trying to open EJ's eyes and loved EJ thinking back to what Tony said while he was looking out the window. Also intrigued by the nemesis and the patient.

The sorority stuff wasn't bad; did find the coven-like shots a little strange, and as someone who was never pro sororities or frats, it hit me a bit like my stereotyped image of them (not a good thing).

I did enjoy the episode - at least the parts I watched and didn't have muted. Better than Mon and Tuesday mainly because of the DiMera factor and their strong scenes.

Good show today...except for one thing...

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT LUMI SEX SCENE?

That had to be the most disgusting love scene I have ever seen. I liked angry Sami and all but it just seemed force and lacked substance. It was something I would expect out of Passions and to see them afterward sitting there, she still in her outfit and him fixing his pants and shirtless...it lacked so much. I am so disgusted with this story. The LUMI scene up until then weren't bad as it was good angst but the sex scene was dreadful.

I enjoyed seeing Tony advise EJ, especially given Tony's history with Stefano. Anna was so cute with the baby and I also liked how EJ let Sami have Johnny at Lucas' and how he remembered Tony's words. Looks like a war between father and son is brewing...

I can't say enough how much I enjoy the sorority story. It's being presented so well but, I must admit, as good as the directing was with the fall I am getting kind of annoyed with how people keep dying by hitting their heads on this show. Alas, it was intense with the music and flashbacks and the way they all sat there. I am sure if Chelsea wasn't out of it she would kind of back away from the whole cover up thing because of Zack but I liked the scenes. Shelley showed her acting chops today as she flashed back to her rape. Just great stuff. Very creepy, especially the body lying right on the girls' symbol. I could see Ford not being dead yet either and part of me hopes not and another part of me hopes he's not because this all feels a little too simple. He could easily be alive as the drug could've slowed his heart rate or something.

Stefano and Rolf...awesome. Gothic feel and I am intrigued. I think the nemesis could be Colleen but I hope not. I want it to be Wayne's Roman or John, although I am thinking it's John that had surgery performed by Rolf. The letter and just the dialogue and feel was splendid. A perfect mystery and one that already has been excited. I don't see the patient being Andre as John seems like a better surgical candidate them him. John had more extensive injuries and Andre could've been repaired and sent out already.

Good show and I think tomorrow should be good too.

I WANT HER BACK! who is this person they call sami? end it. end her relationship with both men. have her move out get own damn place take her kids with her, let lucas see the girl, ej see the boy, but have her done with both men - at least for a bit. establish who sami is. get her ajob, some friends, a life beyond these two men!

You are so right Jack - Sami definitely needs a life outside of men! She has really never had friends except for Jamie years ago and I would like to see more development like you mentioned. I want her back too, just a grown up version, not the little girl that wants her parents together. At least she has moved on from that.

Such a hot Jewish boy, such a terrible person. I will miss Ford's body if virtually nothing else. And yes, the direction was excellent and Y&R-worthy. Pity the scripts are incredibly uneven these days. Having Higley onboard can't help. And while I think EJ and Sami are very hot, I can't help but side with Lucas and find the endless triangle nauseating at this point - anybody who remembers the rape seems to be getting railroaded in the name of the obnoxious Irish Spring music to indicate EJ and Sami's "lurve". This is totally the wrong way to handle a slow build to EJ/Sami.

I am racking my brain to remember Stefano's old "nemeses". Was there some Mexican guy in the two Romans story? Or Orpheus? And I find it ridiculous that there has been no mystery or question of who the driver was who killed John (if he's dead).

Are Tony and Anna really leaving?

    • Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc 
    • A year later we had these ratings for the week of May 11-17 1987. This was probably the last time the CBS soaps (at least til Dallas’ finale) ranked this high. Dynasty had already ended its season.  CBS reran the Dallas Early Years movie on Saturday night against Golden Girls’ season finale, which was the failed Empty Nest back door pilot.  Interestingly a repeat Family Ties was #1 this week. The week before the season finale of Family Ties beat out Cosby as well, but it was Cheers that beat them both out with Diane’s exit.

      I'm writing a series of essays about the first time of a LGBT character in US soaps. I already have datas about Sharon Duvall in DAYS (1977) as first Bisex, Lynn Carson in AMC (1983) as first Lesbian, Hank Elliott on ATWT (1989) as first Gay (someone have or can find the episode in which Paul Ryan finds out about Hank and does not take it very well? I have seen Hank's coming out to Iva and when Hank gets a bullet to save Paul's life from the latter evil father and when he gets tested for HIV after finding out Charlie's diagnosis, but Soap Opera Digest recaps are too much concises...) and Billy Douglas on OLTL (1992) as first LGBT teen in both daytime and primetime TV (I have seen all the episodes on You Tube. BTW, what a great storyline, why it was ignored by the Emmys? Andrew Carpenter and Billy's father players are both really great in their roles! Oh, well, if OLTL was not nominated for Best Drama in 1994 with Marty's gang rape story which won four major awards and was spectacular, no surprise at all - sadly) and I have read something about Azure in The City (1996) as first Trans, but I'd like to see the episode where Bernado finds out and Azure confirms what is said in that newspaper to have something to quote. I like quoting, it gives the essays more depth. I already read the biweekly recaps from Soap Opera Digest on Tumblr and single episodes recaps on IMDB, but I'd like to have more to write about. And something more about critics and public opinions - I only knows that the storyline was rapidly axed because of bad writing and bad performance by Carlotta Chung, but I have nothing to quote.   PS Thank you @JAS0N47 for your incredible and rich site (and work on it). In particular for the Nielsen ratings on weekly basis lists since 1974 and for everything about Sharon Duval - specially for the script of the confession episode dated 23 May 1977! I'm not a DAYS viewers (I'm Italian, I live in Italy and on You Tube there is almost nothing if not short videos), but I've seen some clips of Marlena's first possession (Deidre Hall is terrific in it! Storyline is garbage, but it has its chilling moments and it is funny - I laugh everytime I remember Kristen say to Marlena "according to the book of demonology"! Was she an espert of demons or what!? ) and read on Soap Opera Central daily recaps about infamous Melaswen (brainwashed Marlena has a particular sense of humor - killing ex alcoholic Maggie with a bottle of wine and Alice with her donuts...), so I know something about the soap. Little, but better than nothing.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
