at 35 mins an episode, every scene had to be something like 40 seconds long!

[Toups]

Did somehow Ron Carlivati write this episode? This is OLTL territory. LOL

Thanks for that stat, Jason.

[Mr. Vixen]

How the hell do you fit that many scenes into one episode? They coulnd't have been very long.

[Cheap21]

Sounds like an absolute mess. I hate when shows keep cutting back and forth between scenes bc it usally ends up looking choppy

[JAS0N47]

Well, it was all thanks to the last two acts. They had these brief 5-second scenes of all the characters by themselves: Chloe, Daniel, Philip, Melanie. But, thanks to that, it does qualify as the most scenes ever in a "Days" episode.

I couldn't believe it. There was like 10 minutes left in the episode, and they were up to about 35 scenes or so, and in a matter of minutes, it was up to 50 scenes. If they had just had one more scene, I would have run out of room and had to turn the piece of paper over. They came close a few months ago with 49 scenes, but this was the first time ever that I went to the last line on the piece of paper.

Jason, are you enjoying the show at the moment? You always post these great things about the show, but never your opinion. I'm very curious.

[JAS0N47]

Hi Amello. As you say, I never give my opinion, so I won't be starting now. But suffice it to say, there are always some things to enjoy about the show and some things not to enjoy. You can't please every fan all of the time. Obviously, it's held my interest for the past 20 years so I think the stuff that I've enjoyed far outweighs the stuff I haven't enjoyed. Hope that helps answer a little!
