Members Soapsuds Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm going to start watching Days again. Although Friday's show was so boring. Now I see why it's last in the ratings for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michael Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Why is the idea of Stefano dealing with a gay son SO funny to me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Frankly, I don't think Stefano would much care that he has a gay son. Now, if Chad were sterile...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 LOL. Seriously. It's just hilarious to me to think of doing an 'issue' type storyline with, like, THE BIGGEST MEGAVILLAIN ON EARTH. The diabetes 'story' was always hilarious to me for the same reason.

Members Khan Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 That's why I don't think DAYS should call any extra attention to it. If Chad hooks up with another dude, let them be treated like any other supercouple (w/ the added twist, of course, that Stefano hires some girl to be impregnated w/ Chad's sperm - don't ask me how it's extracted - to ensure the future of the DiMera bloodline). Otherwise, it'll just look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, I hope it's not an "issue" storyline, like let him be gay, let people have their opinions about it...but please stop it short of an after-school special type thing.

Members Gino24 Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 In response to a question about controversial storyline ideas on her facebook page, former Days HW Sheri Anderson revealed that she had pitched a gay romance storyline in the early 80s, which got rejected. Taken from her facebook page, "There are a number of stories pitched, but the only two I recall having been shot down were a story involving a romance born of a character needing a green card and marrying for that reason, and then building a heartbreaking love story, and a gay storyline in the early 80s. I was truly disappointed by both as one involved a love story born of necessity, the other timely and highly romantic. But as both had elements of controversy, they were rejected. These are the types of stories I like to dig my teeth into!" http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=124096267611059&topic=96 It's interesting from her answer is that Sheri's main approach to this storyline would have been to tell a romantic love story instead of trying to craft it in order to make headlines. Just imagine if there was more of an acceptance of the LGBT community in the 80s and this storyline was approved and successful, there might have been a gay supercouple. I wonder what their Marty Davich composed theme would have sounded like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I could understand the gay romance being vetoed, but what was/is so "controversial" about the other one, the one involving one character's getting hitched for the sake of a green card? Did it involve mail-order brides or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted March 29, 2011 Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 Isn't it a bit ironic that As the World Turns actually combined these two stories later on with the Luke/Noah/Ameera story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
