DAYS: December Discussion


Recommended Posts

Well...I really didn't see that one coming. I purposely didn't come into this thread or any spoiler forum until the kidnapper was revealed so I could be TOTALLY surprised. I'm actually pretty surprised I never even thought about Anna...I was thinking they had recast Kristen or something lol.

Anyways, pretty zzzz episode outside of Rafe and Stefano's funny scenes, and the ending reveal. And what is it with Vivian and killing hospital patients...?

I don't think Vivian killed the patient. She just arranged for a corpse to be there as a welcome back gift to Carly. At least it is a use of history on the show. I did enjoy Vivian's scenes today.

I couldn't believe it was Anna either! One of my guesses went towards Jamie, Sami's friend in the 90's. LOL I'm glad I was able to avoid this spoiler and that the surprising moment wasn't stolen from me. Sucks to those who read the spoiler. LOL

The Rafe/Stefano scenes rocked and yeah some bits were funny - "should I start with boxers or briefs?" LOL

I don't want them sorased either. I want to see her grow up on our tv screen. I miss Nicole Cox who played Endora on Passions. It was such a joy to watch her grow up. She was the cutest, more adorable TV baby I've ever seen.

Well, given how your all about the "little things" and follow things like dialogue, scene length, writers, directors, etc. I mean, I know people whose only exposure to Anna was the one episode she had after Tony's death in April when she came to get his ashes and they still figured out who it was. They were like, "Isn't it that woman whose husband died in a few months ago?" It made me LMAO that they figured it out :lol:

It's very nice to see Anna again. She is one of those iconic 80s characters; I think her 2007 return was just marred by no one actually knowing what to do with her once she returned, or with budget issues, or whatever. It certainly wasn't Leann's doing, as she is as unique and luminescent as ever. Looking back, DAYS had so many unique characters in the 80s, balanced in with the supercouples and the core families.

I don't want to jinx her return, because I don't even know all it will entail, but I hope she has some good stuff. They have done a decent job with Vivian's return (who is a much more difficult character to bring back than some may realize, as few say "JER" like Vivian), so I hope the same will happen here.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, Toups.

Days is pretty much what every soap should be. They should be proud. They basically kept Hunley a secret right until the day before we started hearing her in scenes and that is when SOD broke the news online. For Days and soaps in general, that is a good job. It helped having her film on a closed set too. I guess Tomlin learned some things from Passions, who used to pull those kind of surprises all the time. They were the only soap to really get away with it without it getting spoiled anywhere beforehand. Too bad SOD broke the news but I do think many people would've figured it out anyway with the voice.

And the good news is it's not over yet. There are still more surprises to come ;) .

I loved the reveal that Anna was behind the kidnapping. I'm curious her motivation, not that she doesn't have ample reason, as well as who she was talking to on the phone.

The scene between Nathan and Phillip a couple of Fridays ago was particularly strong. I was impressed with both Jay Kenneth Johnson and Mark Hapka in that scene. I'd love to see more fight between them play out.

When Hope asked Bo about having a child with Carly, I smiled. You know Hope is going to think Carly's kid is Bo's. I love how Hope brought up Chelsea and Billie. I think Hope is paranoid beyond belief, but history has taught her to be a bit leery of Bo and his exes.

Sorel has tamed down Vivian a bit, or I'm simply adjusting. Her scenes with Carly and Victor have been priceless. I loved Carly's line about dentur abhesive.

Nicole's wig is a bit much, but I assume its to hide the fact that AZ stopped dying her hair during her pregnancy.

Arianna doesn't seem as out of place as she once was. Everything seems to be coming together nicely.

Spreitler seems a bit more comfortable as Mia, especially in the scene where Maggie told her Grace would wat her to be happy. Similarly, I thought Henning did a remarkable job in her scene at the Brady Pub with Nathan telling him she has no desire to analyze Melanie and Phillip's relationship.

Overall, I just feel the show is really solid.

I thought having Anna as the kidnapper was a great choice. Is she working with Stefano or EJ or is she doing this on her own to avenge Tony.

I'm enjoying Vivian and she is bringing some much needed snark and humor to the show. I agree her scenes with Carly and Vivian have been very good. I have also enjoyed her with Kate, Phillip and Melanie.

I enjoyed the Arianna and EJ scenes. I'm not sure where Days is taking this but they have chemistry together if the show is thinking of putting them together.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (
