DAYS: March Discussion Thread

As cheesy as Muldoon is, I find someone wanting Austin more believable than the long list of women lining up for the unclean orange man. I just think it's all so rushed. They rush everything or drag it out while they try to come up with the next plot point. No storytelling.

It's all about a romantic fixation. Abby says she's in love with Austin and wants a future with him and how Carrie is awful all the damn time. Kate Mansi clearly isn't reading her scripts very well.

The rapport between Bryan and Lauren is wonderful, truly one of the best, if not the best, mother/son chemistry their has ever been in daytime.

Which is a ridiculous story given that Austin is neither Jack's age or attractive enough to warrant any sort of obsession.

Cheesy?! Austin Peck was cheesy. Cheesy can be great. Patrick Muldoon is irritating like a bad rash. And he looks pretty unclean and orange to me...horrific storyline. They should be begging Austin Peck to return.

I say cheesy mostly because of the voice, which reminds me of Michael Damian.

Muldoon is not someone great but then the only person who actually wants him is insane. Meanwhile, it seems like half the women of Salem obsess over Daniel to the point of complete nervous breakdown.

Carre found out already? This storyline only been playing for a couple of months and then it ends abrupty? I'm calling a rewrite on this! All throughout the episode kept hoping Carrie wouldn't find out and somehow Abby/Austin would make up some excuse to get out of it. Not only did Carrie find out that Austin was the guy Abby kept talking about, but she also found out they "slept" together....all in one episode? There's so much that could've happened, like more people finding out first, or more close calls. The only secret that's left is Austin finding out that he didn't sleep with Abby but that secret won't matter if Austin/Abby aren't together.

I also sense there was some rewrites with the Alamainia storyline too - they're already trying to get back to Salem?

It's weird for me hearing all the Muldoon complaints, because I've loved him since he first returned. I think his voice is one of the best things about him. His hair does look very 90s, I would like to see him try cutting it very short. I could see him pulling that off. I also like the chemistry with Abby and wish the story had lasted long. I agree with Toups, this screams re-write.

I'm about a week behind, but is Lisa Rinna as bad as I've been hearing?

Absolutely rewrites for both...and about damn time because both stories are excruciating to watch, especially John and Hope in Alamania "storyline" which is about as hacked up as it gets. The stupidity of Austin/Abby/Carrie/John/Hope is astounding, the writers have taken ice cream scoop chunks out of their brains. It's ridiculous and I hope these storylines are being dumped.

If Muldoon cuts his hair we'd all see his receding hairline and it's clear he isn't comfortable with that. His face is too craggy and burned out to support a buzz cut. He's just awful and I FF all his scenes.

Lisa Rinna is absolutely as bad as you've been hearing. Her lips and cheeks are HUGE, she doesn't look like she did on her reality show Harry Loves Lisa and her acting skills have gone right down the toilet, where is the Taylor McBride from Melrose Place that I know and love? She's dreadful and I don't see her lasting long. She should stick to being a 'personality'...it pays better and she's far better suited to it as it is.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
