DAYS: Discussion for the month of October


Recommended Posts

I don't think this is the same as Patch/Kayla. They were the loves of each other's life, and she had not moved on with her life during his "death", while he had been an amnesiac.

Bo has been married several times and has sired and lost children. He's still with the big love of his life, Hope, and not handling their breakup very well. Carly has watched a man she loved turn into an abusive monster.

I thought that for the emotional place they're both in, the scenes worked very well. Most of all I saw a certain camraderie between them, more than any romantic chemistry. If that happens I don't think it will for a long time.

I have to admit SON is the only site I like reading and discussing Days on. Check out sites like Days Prevuez or the Salem Place/Early Edition sites and nothing but vile with posters who seem to have a grudge with the show. There is reason a I use to stay away from Days fanbases for a longtime even though I'm big fan myself-Days fans often seem to have no thought of reason or brains.

Sami and Stefano's argument was golden! "You don't even know who fathered most of your children." "You deserved to go home to an empty crib." LMAO!

How cute and adorable was Cydney when she was crying....those tears.....those short breaths (I love this in babies).....laying her head on Ari Zuker......I couldn't stop smiling at the cuteness. :)

I'm calling today's ending a false tag! No way Rafe showed up to Sami's apartment.

i loved the line sami gave to stefano about taking her mother away, ive been waiting for that to be adressed between them for years!

and LOL at his line about her not knowing who fatherd her kids. but it not very true, but not true at the same time. didnt she know lucas was the father of will but said austin? she also knew ej was the father of her newest baby but just didnt say so. the only ones she didnt know was the twins she she slept with lucas and was raped by his son.

Love the twist with Nicol/Stefano asking Mia to pretend she slept around and doesn´t have an idea who the father is. But I think Nicol should show a little more remorse later. From all the things she did so far to keep the babyswitch secret I think this is the worst. The way they play Mia around and use her love for the child which is really dead is just sick.

Also, loved the scenes with Phillip and Melanie yesterday. They aren´t a longterm relationship/wedding and family material, but they have great chemistry and push/pull dynamics which is always fun to watch.

Shallow note, Shelley Hennig looks so gorgeous lately. That darker shaded lipstick really suits her. Stephanie is slowly starting to remember she used to be quite a bitch too and I think it´s only a matter of time till she joins Phillip in his attempt to split Nathan/Mel. I think that will be a lot of fun, especially if they are still in love as well.

I was impressed by the twist too. This baby switch story has been the savior of this show.

This quad storyline is pretty good too even though it's very slow (that's a good thing!).

It was great seeing 'Madam' again! I think Gary Tomlin is going to do Vivian justice and I can't wait to see her hunt Carly down. Vivian should've got the ending scene instead of going out of Rafe.

Gosh, i couldnt agree more. Wtahcing Nicole not care that mia is about to flip her life upside down again by saying shes a whore knowing that Mia is only doing this to help nicole keep the child Mia belives is hers is sick. It wasnt bad enough that nicole watched mia watch her duaghter die and didnt say anything. I really hope they kill Nicole off. She must die. It must be slow and painful. and i would enjoy it.

Philip/Melanie/Nathan/Stephanie is an interesting quad because is really two triangle coming together. Id love it if Steph got back into bitch mode and helps Philip break Melanie & nathan up, esp if the two are aware they still love eachother but know it will never work.

I think we need to praise the associate writers more. Because really, the stories aren´t something to brag about. It´s all very simple, but the way they are revealing it and using every possible way to twist it and play every beat is amazing.

And they are smart and know what they are doing. Like today, a lot of people would get really frustrated if it was just Nicol and Stefano convincing Mia to lie for them again. But they had Rafe finally return in the same episode, so even if people gets angry Chad´s DNA test will not move the story, they can put their hope in Rafe´s plan and continue to watch.

One of the best Tomlin´s decision ever was to bring the associate writers back.

Everything that works for me on the show feels like it's a return to the old school soaps, especially in that you may feel like a story drags, but you do get to see most of the reactions, you get to see all sides, and you get to see a payoff.

I couldn't help laughing at that little cutout of Carly that Vivian was holding from the photo of Carly/Lawrence. It was so perfectly cut out. It made me want to see a Salem version of Guess Who, where you have cards with various faces and the other person asks you if your main card has brown hair ,or brown eyes, or whatever.

I'm not going to get my hopes up but I am so happy to see Vivian again. It's just like, why was she gone so long? Fortunately she still has so many foes and relatives on the canvas, even after a decade away.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
