DAYS: January Discussion


Recommended Posts

  • Members

When i met Susan Hayes she said her & Bill wouldnt mind appearing more often on Days. So, i am happy to see the show using them beyond the three episodes they originally came back for. I am also glad to see the show using Justin & Anna so much. This is how recurring on daytime should be done.

I thin k that once EJ sees that Sami/Rafe have fallen apart he is going to regret whats hes doing as he cant swoop in and take her like he wants to.

LR is just too much for me. But i LOVE the way they are playing the story.

What was maggie drink of choice? She doesnt seem like a vodka lady. Im going with a whisky or scotch or something classy like that.

I hope she falls off the wagon and is a drunken mess!

I dont think they can be minimized much more than they are. lol.

Casey D. (chad) is an amazing find. I wouldnt be surprised when Chad finishes high school he gets tossed Melanies way since the actors are together in real life.

I need Hopelesstwitbitch to fall into another vat of acid, for real this time. She is the most hypocritcal, judgemental, vile piece of trash on this show. I hate her with everything in me. She left him, she took his kid away, she moved in with his father around all kinds of danger, she told him its over, she cut him out. So his life doesnt fall apart and she cant take it. I hope Bo & Carly have a nice relationship and Hope can choke on it and die. I have to move on now..

the story is just terrible. its actually not so much the story, the writing, or the acting. Its just not working. It doesnt fit. It doesnt seem to have a longterm purpose now (early on it tied in with dimvera vs kirikais but both have moved into other stories). Drop it, move on.

Loved the Mel\Viv\Carly scenes at Java Cafe. I was feeling so bad for Carly, though! Having to see her worst enemy talking to her daughter, and still having to hold back the truth about everything. I think CC is doing a really great job with this storyline, she makes it so believable and all the more intriguing to watch, IMO. Glad to have Carly back. Mel so should not be trusting Viv right now!! I was even liking Daniel. I usually despise him, LOL.

Daniel and Carly :wub:

That scene between Carly and Justin was FIRE. Finally these two are stepping up a gear. I love how all these characters in this quadrangle are not black-and-white good/bad. They all have good reasons as well as agendas for acting the way they are.

And even better was the Rafe and Sami scene. I love how even though this is a "slow period," the writers are avoiding repetition or filler flashbacks in favor of dialogue which deepens the relationships between protagonists. Seeing Rafe look so sad about how he has no claim on Sydney (and yet, as Sami's love and given his attachment to Grace, he is potentially another father figure for Sydney) and Sami's heart breaking on his behalf... that was a really affecting scene.

Contrasting the Vivian/Melanie scenes with Maggie/Melanie was a stroke of genius. I love that Vivian and Maggie are on the same level of importance in the Days-sphere.

Roman's cotton-wool voice shtill makesh me laugh sho hard. "Duh HEY-elle, Adwiana!"

Heh. Stefano doesn't trust EJ either.

So Enjoying my Days right now!!!I hope the sweeps bring us a drunken Maggie and a good friend to help her cope (Neil, Anyone?). wish they will get off Carly's back about going to Maggie's house. Carly was apart of Mickey/Maggie's life from 1990-1993 and they knew her and she knew them, of course was going to offer condolences to Maggie and Melissa. They all make Carly seem like a bad person to make Hope look good. I wish Melissa would have stayed longer and shared some scenes with Bo, Hope, and Justin and more Hortons could have return.

It's been a building week, enjoyable for sure though.

Vivian taking a shine to Melanie is a nice touch and it humanizes the character and keeps her grounded. If she'd gone after Melanie, it would have really been a bit much. Vivian is wicked, she isn't evil. It's clear that John Aniston is having fun acting with Louise Sorel again. It really was the perfect time to have Louise back on canvas, sometimes things just line up.

Kate and Phillip continue to be the parental misstep to watch. Lauren Koslow and Jay Kenneth Johnson have tremendous chemistry. I've noticed that with Koslow, she has really great chemistry with everyone she interacts with, she's been like that at Y&R and B&B as well. It really is something unique about her. I can't think of another actress who hasn't had a flop interaction.

By far my favourite recent scenes have been Maggie, alone, in her pyjamas, in her dark house. OHHHH I want DRUNK MAGGIE, I am practically salivating at the thought of it. It has the greatest potential for any story currently on the canvas. I want drunk Maggie for at least a few months, I want her drunk at Melanie's wedding, then drunk some more, then, if they must, they can do her intervention for May sweeps. I want it to last that long. I really, really, do.

Victor's choking laughter when Phillip asked him if he was in love with Vivian was hilarious. I loved Victor's nonchalant reaction when Phillip said that he often fell in love with difficult women. LOL!

I'm losing interest with the rest of Days, but Victor keeps me coming back.

Mark, you SHOULD watch, it's so much better than the rest of what's on daytime.

Lauren's chemistry with Josh Taylor was very popular among some fans, they even nicknamed the couple Kaman...she's the only person Josh Taylor has ever clicked with. 'Ol Cotton Mouth couldn't believe his luck with la Koslow.

John McCook, hmm...but wasn't that quite intentional? Margo freaking LOVED Eric, but he never quite 'got' it, he was dense. Which then resulted in Margo going after Bill Spencer Sr, plus a daliance with Clarke.

I'm glad Days is showing Maggie grieve over Mickey. The scenes today with Maggie and the bottle of alcohol are a natural next step in this storyline. So many times once a character dies, everyone goes on like nothing happened so this is a nice change.

I always loved Michael Sabatino and enjoyed the Lawrence and Vivian scenes today. Vivian going through with her plan to kill Melanie will put her at odds with Victor. I'm interested to see how this plays out.

I'm enjoying the Bo/Hope/Carly/Justin quad. As Cat said everyone here is making mistakes and there is no clear bad person. That was some slap Carly gave Justin yesterday. Justin was being hypocritical in talking about not acting on his feelings for Hope. I guess he forgot pretty quickly about kissing Hope.

Hopefully we have come to the end of the drug storyline. I'm not a big EJ fan but I find there is chemistry between EJ and Arianna. The kidnapping storyline is dragging and needs to be wrapped up ASAP. I think Stefano is going to turn the tables on EJ somehow in this story.

Vivian (reading Edgar Allan Poe): Maybe I should wall her up in a basement. Let her starve to death...

Victor (exasperated): Damn it, woman! Are you going to sit there and fanatsize all day or are you going to act?!

Victor :wub:

Maggie toying with that bottle of (bourbon? scotch? rum?) was sooooo good.

I loved how Suzanne twisted the glass so that it sparkled in the light and then looked towards the picture of Mickey and then clutched the booze and the glass as if they were a baby in her arms.

The music in that scene was also very well chosen. Sort of Celtic but sinister at the same time.

The Vivian/Lawrence scenes were campy, but reminded me of the twisted relationship between those two.

Rafe/Sami/EJ is losing steam at this point, something needs to happen to spice it up.

And I really dig Hope the Angry Bitch. I really want her and Carly to engage in a full on catfight, complete with sequined evening gowns at Chez Rouge in front of the whole town.

    • 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 Jodie 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.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
