DAYS: January Discussion

Completely agree. Suzanne alone made the episode worth watching.

I'm completely apathetic about Mia and Gabi. Though I do like that Gabi is calling Mia out on seeing two guys. And can someone explain to me why anyone would want to go out with Chad? What redeeming qualities does the guy have?

I agree. Here we go with Suzanne's 2011 Emmy shot!

When did Mia get a mean streak? LOL First she's going after Gabi and now she's into both Chad/Will? I think Chad's a pretty decent guy. He wanted to be there for Sydney when he thought she was his child.

I love where the Ari/Brady/Nicole triangle is headed - clearly Nicole/Brady are the "rooting couple". Ari/Brady will grow closer and I hope they married...and then Nicole gets out of jail.

So EJ is working with Anna? Nice! It's just another thing to keep EJ/Sami apart romantically.

Good episode today. I knew Mickey's death was coming and it made those scenes with Maggie and Lexie even more bittersweet. Suzanne was great today and will do some fabulous work in this storyline.

There have been clues along the way (EJ insisting they fly commercial to Cleveland thus slowing them down, his freaking out whenever Rafe said he had a new lead, etc.) that he has been in on the kidnapping. My guess is EJ's shock at the end of the episode is that Anna answered the door with Sydney in her arms instead of keeping her out of sight.

Nicole's trial was hilarious. Nicole's final speech about finding Sydney was so pathetic that I could not stop laughing.

I simply don't understand why Ari hasn't dumped Brady's feckless @ss already.

I can't wait for Sami and Rafe to find out that EJ is behind Sydney's kidnapping.

Suzanne Rogers for the Best Supporting Actress Emmy in 2011!

It was such a simple scene, with minimal music, minimal movement and it was all on Suzanne to pull it off. Of course, that's exactly what she did.

The scene reminded me of vintage Katherine Chancellor scenes on Y&R when Kay's whole life would implode around her. That's the same thing that happened to Maggie. So many subtle facial expressions, a little gulp, then tears, then a pull back, then disbelief.

Cannot wait to see how the rest of the storyline is going to go.

Rock on Suzanne!

MOVE OVER! MB's Melanie reminds me so much of Lynn Herring's 'Lucy Coe' from GH. She's only a little less subtle, at times, LOL, but she's just as complex and wonderfully layered a character. I loved the relationship Melanie and Maggie developed and wished the writers had left it at Maggie and Melanie, both women deserved far more airtime.

ETA: Thank you, writers, for letting Mags bring up Alice and discuss how Mickey's death will affect her.

I've been long over EJ (since he raped Sami) and thought the relationship with Nicole would be the beginning of his 'redemption'. He's still a low life.

Not to go all 'CSI' but when the kidnapping is up, wouldn't EJ's and Anna's cellphones ping from all the same towers? I know the writers never go that far, but I sure as heck do think that it would be nice if on occasion they did, LOL! Sloppy details like that make me cringe.

Is this EJ paying Sami back for planning to get rid of Sydney? What's the point of all of this, when Sami is still the mother of his son?

Well, he has a reason to become evil and dark again. The man got lied to and played for a fool THREE times in a one year span. Given his history, having him be the one behind this couldn't possibly make more sense. All the signs were there. I think it's a logical twist but not all that surprising. It was pretty easy to figure out, even without spoilers.

Suzanne Rogers NAILED it today. Her scenes were brilliant.

Suzanne was awesome today. At first Hope wasn't showing any emotion but that's because I think she was in shock. When she came back down to the kitchen she comforted Maggie. I'm glad they mentioned how frail Alice has become. That's going to be an issue as to why she isn't on screen but I think most people know that Frances Reid can no longer act due to her poor health.

I had to laugh at Sydney's expressions around EJ. She didn't seem too happy to see him.

Loved the Carly/Vivian scenes in the elevator. I'm loving Bo and Carly but Bo came off like an ass today in his conversation with Justin. Bo kissed Carly first and is now being a hypocrite about Justin kissing Hope.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
