DAYS: January 15, 2008

The sorority storyline continues to kick ass! Seriously, when's the last time the majority of DAYS fans actually enjoyed a storyline that involved mostly the younger set? It doesn't happen too often. Remember Touch the Skies? <_<

Anyway, Rachel Melvin nailed it throughout the entire episode as Chelsea today. I can't say that Shelley Henning impressed me throughout the episode. There were a few moments when I felt that she did what she was supposed to do, and one of those moments was when she revealed the rape to Ford's dad, Crawford. I did think she did a great job there, but the rest, especially when she told Chelsea about the rape after Crawford left, it did nothing for me.

However, Rachel Melvin I thought did fantastic in the whole episode. She didn't play the overacting card. She actually took a clue from Deidre Hall in that it was all pretty subtle. You could tell Chelsea's emotions were rising just by the eyes. You didn't have to hear her hyperventilating. She sold it with just her eyes.

I enjoy that the writers are finally showcasing what Ford's family is going through. Too many times these bad villains, especially rapists, are depicted as pod creatures with no family who have emotions. I like Crawford and the actor that plays him. He sells his emotions as the concerned father. But back to what I was saying, I'm glad that Chelsea is thinking about the Decker family and what they're going through. And it was a good thing for Stephanie to be the one that didn't care as she was the one that actually felt affected by what Ford did, unlike Chelsea. I can see why she doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about anything concerning Ford.

I have to say that both Crystal and Rob have got to me. I like both, and I hope that Rob stays along after this abduction storyline along with Crystal. This whole storyline is so intriguing. You don't know if they're really telling the truth and are going to harm Belle, or if they are being honest and only protecting her. And the whole Brady Black aspect is amazing. Chloe still doesn't seem as concerned as she should be. I still don't believe she's so innocenet. But back to Crystal, I loved that line when she told Belle that they were her "family." It seriously gave me chills.

Brandon Beemer and Nadia Bjorlin = :wub: I wish we would have gotten to see them ice skating on the lake. That would have been cute.

Again, nothing bad can be said about this Pawn II storyline. I loved John and Marlena's scenes today. The blank stares that he is giving Marlena and her wanting him to remember her so much, but him not being able to. It's awesome! The only part that made me wonder what was going on was when John unscrewed the top of the liquor bottle and went after Stefano, or at least I think he went after Stefano. :huh: I didn't get that. Was he going after Stefano, or Bo and Roman? I don't know.

Todays Days was... THE days of our lvies that i KNOW and LOVE! omg... where to begin?

the john/mar scenes were greatness. i loved the john/bo scene as well and marlena telling john that bo is a friend. all acted amazing during this. roman/stefano/bo scenes were powerful and i loved it all. omg. could bnot have been better. so glad this didnt take 8 months to come out!

the philip/sami scenes were great. i lvoe these two in scenes together and always have. loved him calling shawn. loved shawn/chloe scenes. loved all the bickering going on. loved that no one told marlena because she does have other [!@#$%^&*] to worry about and there is nothing she can do right now but worry anyways.

the belle/crystal scenes were also good. i loved it all.

and the max/steph and steph/chels and mr. decker scens were amazing. rachel melvin has turned into an incredable talent and even SH has improved a lot. i wonder if casting at days sees something in these people that we dont til a year later or if they just catch on and get the hang of it.

i cant wait for Days the rest of the week - when was the last time that happened?

Absolutely FLOVED Days.....FAN.TAB.U.LOUS!

I was on the edge of my seat for all of the Pawn II storyline... I had to chuckle when John said now that he was free, he could go outside...

Just the sheer smugness on Stefano's face was pure pleasure for me....and his words rang true...it's not over by a long shot.....Now I can't wait for the C.B. DiMera portion to connect it's way into all of this...

Kind of got tired of Phillip and Shawn once again snarking about who should be there for Belle....

Loved the Sorority storyline...I'm really liking Chelsea; for once, she had not a scheme to come up with for what they are all in; and I loved it when she said to Stephanie it's no longer about her or Cordy; it's about all of them and how they have to face what's about to come at them.

I held on to Crystal's words in the episode: "We're family." Those words made me really want to know more about what this is all about and how this person has sent Crystal and Rob to keep Belle out of harms way...

Ryan was definitely right when he said This is what a soap is all about... and I can't wait to see what's to come tomorrow:)

It also now seems that Stefano decides what he is going to do based off of what moves he makes on his chest board. And, he did it right in front of everyone. Stefano is so arrogant and calculating that he has not only planned butput his nextmoves in motion, under their noses, and they don't even realize that.

I think he wasn't upset because he knew that John coming after him would distract the family long enough to move the pieces on that chess board. And........did John react after he did that? Something to ponder.

I agree with all of you! You're taking the words right out of my mouth and I'm so glad that our DAYS is back again! At least now I have a true soap that I can depend on without being disappointed! *cough cough Guiding Light cough cough* There. Now my throat feels better.

I finally got to watch late last night and i had a smile on my face the whole time...Just so excited to finally see the show..Stefano was my favorite yesterday, and i enjoyed his warning to Bo that this was only the beginning....John and Marlena's handshake was a great nod to the couples history..I started watching in 87, so i missed John's first appearance as the pawn...

Crystal is great and Ashlee is doing an excellent job..Her lines about Brady being gone, and them being family were pretty shocking..Wonder whats really up...Martha played those scenes very well..Also it was great seeing Sami on the scene when Belle was abducted, that made it more realistic...Both Phillip and Shawn looked very hot in their winter outfits!!!

I didn't really pay much attention to Max and Stefanie, but once Chelsea showed up i was very interested...LOVED their scenes today..I'm happy that Chelsea wants to come clean...I don't think she will like the outcome though..Ford's dad will fry her..

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
