DAYS: Discussion for the month of June


Recommended Posts

without a doubt. The hatred they have should always be played. I loved it when Sami realized she loved him and was disgusted and hated herself for it.

They do work tho. I think its because He is a male version of Sami, circa 1995-2003.

prob. but hes very limited as an actor.

have you seen the new promo? i cant embed it and i cant link to the site with it, but its another summer promo with the entire cast this time. its cute. daniel and lucas doing pullups and chl;oe looking back and forth at them. kate tossing a apple around. sami/rafe and nicole/ej and steph/phil/mel/nathan all cute in the park. bo/hope. lots of family scenes. the cast playing vollyball and tug of war.

Kate's the most interesting character, and LK is the best actor, in that storyline. Hands down. First poisoned eggs and now poisoned apple? Loved the shot of the needle going into the apple, and all the false tags too. Damn, why can't Chloe just eat the apple and die. :)

So June was pretty good. I hope July will good too.

How is kate interesting? I find her to be the most one note character on the show. No depth, no nothing.

I like LK, but shes limited. Is she better than nadia & Bryan? Sure, but thats not saying much. I wouldnt say she is better than Shawn C. tho.

Poisoned eggs and apples? Please. Its so lame and screams of JER style. Tho i guess thats fine because a huge part of the audiance started under him and like that crap, so thats fine. Im just glad its limited to that storyline.

She's the most interesting in that storyline because she's trying to kill Chloe and framing Daniel. You take Kate out and the storyline is pretty boring. Then all you would have is Chloe/Dan and their secret pain, longing for each other and their stupid fantasies. Gag me.

That's exactly why I love it - it reminds me of JER. I actually think most people hate these kinds of plots, so I definitely think I'm in the minority.

The Bo/Hope storyline is pretty JER-esque too with Bo being a psychic and ghost-Zack communicating with him.

So yeah, the more Reilly-ish the better. I'm glad Tomlin is keeping Reilly's spirit alive. :(

Again, that would only be interesting by defualt and compared to others. As a standalone i think shes the most one note boring char on the show and has had the same plot point for far too many years. Kill her now, please. I find Chloe torn between Dan and Lucas far more compelling than this rip off of a fairy tale.

Well, at least you are aware you are prob in the minorioty! lol.

The HoBo storyline is JER-ish too... however... well.. i will spoiler tag it even tho its not really a spoiler

the more JER ish the more i want to tune out. Days 2003-2006 was awful and should never go back to it. as much as i dispised Hogans days at least he tried to take it away from that crap

I cannot stand SC/Daniel..When he does that damn whisper thing when I guess he's trying to be sexy or serious I have to change the channel. LK acts circles around the man, but with that said they do have nice chemistry and they shouldn't have wasted his first few months on the show with that lame romance with Chelsea and should have actually put him with Kate...Since I despise Chloe and Nadia couldn't act her way out of a bag, I'm fine with Kate trying to kill her.

The crazy thing is seeing Eric Martsolf out-act Shawn Christian, Nadia Bjorlin AND Molly Burnett. As I live and breathe! I love this show but there are some "actors" that make acting look like having an enema. I will say that Nadia did OK with that poisoned apple stuff... and it has now just hit me exactly why her acting has been so constipated. Poisoned Granny Smith? Oy. Kate needs to be hiding secrets from Victor and feeding info to Stefano on the side... not this Wicked Stepmother mess.

So, is Brady not mooning over Nicole anymore? Pity. EM and AZ had chemistry.

The child playing Alley is petrified of Bryan Datillo and Nadia Bjorlin! LOL!

Kinda boring episode yesterday. Wasn't expecting that Sami-Rafe love scene, though. And I guess we have to wait until next week for more.

^Tose love scenes are pretty much only done on the regular on days now. i love that they give fans love in the afternoon, even when i hate the coupling.

and as for brady/nicole i actually think brady/arianna will play into that in the long run with nicole keeping secrets and brady knowing some and rafe being her brother. maximum drama.

Brady & Ariana bore me. They're pretty but I don't see a purpose for them besides being talk-tos for Sami and Rafe.

I love/hate LK/Kate. LK is hot as hell and sometimes she's very entertaining but sometimes she gets too campy. I wish someone would direct her to hold it back a bit sometimes. I'm also tired of Kate as the Wicked Queen out to get Snow White. I want Kate back in cougar-mode.

NB can't act but damn is she pretty to look at. It might be better just to have Chloe & Dan happily paired off and trot them out once a week for a big love scene.

Rafe/Sami/EJ/Nicole are wonderful. Great quad. Love the interactions between Rafe/Sami, EJ/Sami, EJ/Nicole, Nicole/Sami and now Nicole/Rafe. This is gold. Just hope DAYS can play this for a while and not screw it up.

Phillip & Stephanie are a good, not great, couple. On a show with limited options, that's probably the best DOOL can do for either of them.

Now that she's not eating the show, I have come to like MB/Melanie. She does bring a unique sense of fun to the show. Not sure about MH/Nathan. I would like to see DOOL find a more charismatic actor to pair her against because she tends to overpower her scene partners.

Bo & Hope are great, as usual. Really looking forward to CC's return and how that affects the Bope dynamic.

Aunt Maggie rules!

I liked JER. I went from never FFing a moment back then to sometimes skipping a whole week now at a time. I just don't understand what it is I am supposed to watch with Sami, Rafe, Nicole and EJ these days. I get it, they are couples, but what about them? They don't really do anything. And where is the fun, the crazy characters like Jan Spears or Tony and Bart? Why must every soap feel alike?

Bo seeing Zach is just part of his psychic abilities. The little guy playing Zach is pretty good in that one scene and it was nice to see again and grown up a bit.

That's neat. Does Zach just appear if there's some type of danger, like on Dark Shadows? Does Hope know?

I'm surprised they still have Bo with psychic powers. Most of the time on soaps if someone gets psychic abilities they're gone in about two months. I'm glad they're sticking with the story.

JER was FANTASTIC during his first run, and his returnw as great at first with the murders. But then they made Marlena the killer, and everyone was alive, and on an island that looked like salem, and then everyone from salem ended up on the island for a rescure, and then the tidal wave, the boat, the castle, jacks many deaths, iraq, stan.... ugh. so much awfulness.

Sami, Rafe, Nicole, and EJ are characters. Sami/EJ/Nicole are all very layered and well rounded and perfectly acted IMHO. I dont think DAYS is just like any other soap. In fact i dont think its like any soap. It has its own feel. its own way of doing things. And those crazy characters? I hope they stay gone. They are cartoons. I like layers.

Yeah, it actually is very Dark Shadows, IMHO. Bo isnt sure why Zach is appearing, he doesnt understand whats going on. Hope knows, but she pretty much writes his visions off, from what i have seen (I FF when shes on, hate her.)

And yeah, they have kept with it now for like 7 months. I wonder if they will

. Bo is such a odd choice for these visions, but i admit i kind of like it. Its also given peter a lot to play, and hes great. Usualy psychic soa characters are cartoons and one note.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
    • My question was basically is Dani the only character to have a bedroom? And then the response was Jacob and Naomi ONLY have a bedroom as their set .
