DAYS: Discussion for the month of September

Uh oh, the walls are closing in on Nicole. Glad the writers didn't forget about the Sister.

Ciara was so cute in the previews, whispering to Hope, "It's him." LOL

Yeah, I think it was diamonds too. And under SSM, Stefano was into art (gag me). So Stefano seems to go for the "sophisticated" crime, while Victor likes the down and dirty drug trade. Nice contrast in two powerful men.

The "3 prisms" story? No idea what it's about though, I just remembered the story was called.

I was surprised by that too. Only because it was Roman. I thought she might have been FBI, but I guess she's working for the Salem PD instead.

I was alsos surprised that this Dean story ended so quickly. I would've love to see him stay a bit longer. But I think his purpose was to cause friction in Bo/Hope's relationship.

I loved that! This is the kind of stalling on soaps I grew up watching - thanks to JER of course. LOL Now I wonder how Nicole's going to get busted - Mia's diary perhaps?

As frustrating as it is, I very much prefer the slow-pacing as well, even better when you go spoiler-free I find. That's a good question. Maybe Mia will have a change of heart and come clean on her own? That still wouldn't explain how they would find out the baby is Sami's. My speculation is the *initial* switch is revealed, so everyone thinks the baby is Mia's, then much later down the road they discover it is Sami's.

It really is better spoiler-free. I will never understand the concept of spoilers at all. If I wanted to "read" something, I'd go read a book. LOL

Ohh...I like that idea! It's another way to continue the storyline for a little while longer. Thinking like JER, I would have Sami discover her baby is alive in either November Sweeps or during Christmas (you know how JER loved "Christmas miracles"). And it would resemble Marlena, Sami's mother, getting Belle back on Christmas Eve 1993. Also, the person who finds out the truth and hands the baby back to Sami would be Rafe (since he's the one investigating Nicole), and you build on the Sami/Rafe relatioship. The scene could be like Sami's thinkig of Grace (maybe at the Horton ornament hanging), it would've been Grace's first Christmas........and then Rafe walks in with Sydney. Okay so after that, what's the next beat, the next arc? LOL

LOL gee I miss those JER Christmas'. Well I must confess, in my breakdown, Sami/EJ are the endgame hehe. So, I would have the Mia part of the switch revealed first. Nicole loses everything, as well as the adoption being rendered illegal, so she is forced to give Sydney to Mia. Distraught, Nicole has a breakdown and ends up kidnapping the baby. Everyone is frantic looking for her(cat and mouse ensues...facilitating Ari's maternity leave). Meanwhile, Brady is the one who finds them and convinces Nicole to bring the baby back (preferably around Christmas), which is handed over to Mia. This adds fuel to the Mia/Chad/Will triad. Meanwhile, Nicole, at this point town pariah, tries her hardest to keep the truth about the baby from coming out as she tries to win EJ back. Part of her plot is trying to convince EJ of her "fragile" mental state to keep him from finalizing the divorce.

EJ has by now acknowledged his real feelings for *Samawwntha*, who is committed to working things out with Rafe. Nicole nearly succeeds in making EJ believe the loss of her baby sent her into a breakdown. However when Sami and Rafe get engaged, EJ plots to stop the wedding from happening. In the midst of this, EJ is the first to find out Sydney belongs to he and Sami, and that Nicole was behind it all. He denounces her once and for all and speeds up the divorce. After obtaining proof on Sydney, EJ races to stop the wedding to reveal to Sami their child is ALIVE. Just in time for those famous JER May sweeps!

Yo, that's pretty awesome....except for the Sami/EJ endgame of course. :P I can't get over the rape. In my story, I had Nicole kidnapping the baby too (and using Ari's maternity leave was a good idea) but I didn't come up with a reason why yet, so I like the breakdown idea. The problem with EJ rushing to stop the Sami/Rafe wedding is Sami/Rafe are a rootable couple and Rafe's not the bad guy. If Rafe was somehow the bad guy, it would make EJ stopping the wedding more vital. Even if EJ revealed Sydney was Sami's at the wedding, why wouldn't she marry Rafe anyway?

But man, you out-JER'd me by stretching it out to May!! I like that. LOL So it would be about a span of 16 months when the baby switch took place to Sami finding out the truth. 16 months! That's beautiful and a great long term story!

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
