DAYS: Discussion for the month of May


Recommended Posts

Ohhh...is Ciara going to be kidnapped (re: Bo's latest vision)? I could see the Dimeras doing that in retaliation. I hope that happens.

Word. The feud is great when it involves scenes with Victor or Stefano.

I hope so too. I'm so afraid of Ken Corday because he has a history of screwing things up when things are going well.

I loved both Monday and tuesday's shows. I was reflecting on it and I rate these last four months (i've been watching live since march and youtubing back episodes a bit back lol) as among the most consistently strong the show has been since 2002/3 (Brash/Cwikly). The show feels cohesive, well thought out and planned - Days never feels like this :P Because of Corday or NBC or Steve Kent or whoever, I don't expect it to last. All I know is that I'm entertained and hope it will continue. I watch Days and other soaps historically out of escapism I guess, so as long as I get that, I'm good.

I watched bits of the last few episodes and I was pleasantly surprised at how they're writing Victor. Whether it's in character or not I have no idea because Victor has been all over the place over the years (the low point must have been when he was carted off to the nursing home for several years), but they have finally found some combination of being ruthless without being a ridiculous caricature. Seeing John Aniston get to act again is such a treat.

Days is so horrible. I literally have not watch the show for 3 days...one word to describe the show right now -- boring.

I HATE Nicole and Ej together

I HATE Sami and Rafe together ewww PUKE

I can't stand Melanie

I can't stand Stephanie

I can't stand Philip

I can't stand Nicole

The ONLY good characters on the show:

Daniel is not on enough

Mia is not on enough

Will is not on enough

Sami is being destroyed with them putting her with Psycho Pedo Rafe

EJ is still stupid and still with the Ho 'Nicole'.

Adrianna needs a friend, maybe someone related to Mia.

---

for me, the ONLY good part to the show are Mia and Will, all they do is TALK and its boring because that is all they do, which is ashame because they are my favorite part to the show, when they are NOT ON, I do not bother watching. They need TO ACT like NORMAL TEENAGERS -- god Dena Higley doesn't know how to write Teens. If she wants some help, go and watch Season 1-4 of one tree hill.

God, c

Yeah I read woohoo. Actually, I don't think they deserve it for 2008 tbh. But since they will probably be snubbed next year when they may deserve to win, we should take what we can get :P There may never be another chance either too - sands running out this hourglass :(

Now don't get me wrong, I love a good WB drama as much as the next person but I was still a teenager a mere 2 years ago and One Tree Hill couldn't be further from the teenage experience if it tried with its 25+ yr old actors who look older than any of the kids who truly looked too old for high school at my school, not to mention having the same dialogue problems as Dawsons Creek ie: NO one talks like that in high school.

I know what you mean. I hope they don't go to far with Victor playing games like this, I don't want him to become a cartoon like Stefano. That's why I like Victor more, he is a classic gangster. He had the chance to kill Stefano and EJ, of course they won't be killed off. Only short-term characters are killed these days.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
