DAYS: June 2013 Discussion Thread

[jfung79]

There's plenty more I can post that is more general about DAYS being good (see below for examples) ... I just singled out stuff naming writers in my earlier post to document that DAYS writers get praised by name too.

I hope Days's ratings spike even further.

RT @tvdean: With all of his complimentary tweets, @nelliebranco has me convinced to start watching #DAYS #DOOL again

So impressed the real kicker in this Kristen story is that she grew. #Days Brilliant.

Wish Days got some more cash from NBC to improve sets. They've got the content, NBC/Sony should invest.

Thank God for #Days

Anyway, my point wasn't to hijack this thread into a bunch of tweets, or to otherwise hijack the thread away from discussing the show -- sorry! There's enough of that in other threads. I just needed somewhere to put all of that.

You know as well as I do that the show has been this level of quality since roundabout Christmas. Yes, the stories climaxed in May sweeps, but the quality has been about the same over this period. But it is only now that these so-called journalists have begun to gush. If they had any credibility, they would have been gushing then as they do now, since nothing has really changed in the last 6 months. It's an indictment on them that they cannot critically assess a show, but instead follow internet sentiment like sheeple and fangurls.

For all we know, the show may have already creatively peaked if the next batch of stories are not as good as the last ones. But these "industry professionals" will be the last to call it, like they do with GH now and MAB at Y&R in the past. How is anyone supposed to respect such opinions then?

Just popping in here to say wow at that Brady/Nicole sex scene. I don't want them together but I totally approve of what just aired.

[SouthOfSoap]

Indeed, those sex scenes were graphic, but really really hot.

The highlight of the episode for me were the Marlena/Adrienne scenes though. The primary weapon in Marlena's attack is call out others for their actions, but she has no dirt on Adrienne and had to try a different tack - that made it so interesting to watch. Neither were correct, but neither were wrong. Adrienne probably "won" on balance. Such great drama! After a couple of wobbly episodes, Salmons was back on form today.

Justin/Adrienne/Sonny scenes were nice too. They are such a great juxtaposition to the dysfunctionality of Sami/Lucas/Will/EJ. Adrienne is going to blow a gasket when she learns that Justin has been helping EJ. Judi Evans is superb.

Jennifer really is a naive twit.

Good show today - interesting beats to the stories played out that many writers would have skipped out.

So Chandler is going to leave when his contract expires in Dec, and Twitter already is saying for Drew Garrett (ex-Michael Corinthos III, GH) to play Will when CM leaves

[Winchester91]

Drew Garrett? After Chandler's youthful looks? Jarring.

[Antoyne]

Whatever that means we'll have Chandler onscreen for at least two more years then.

[jo.frank88]

If Chandler leaves in December that means he would last air in... April-ish right? Man, after Chandler a recast is gonna be such a slippery slope... If they pursue a recast they really should rest the character for a bit to give us as the audience some time to adjust.. Have Will go visit Carrie and Austin in Switz. for the summer and then Will could come back in the fall for the new semester at school or something... They need to take their time and have a SLOW transition. It would be SUPER hard to have Chandler on-screen one day and then a recast the next day.

Judi Evans is so much love. She needs to be on more. Dynamite scenes with Dee today.

[Soapsuds]

De age Will and have Chandler's brother take over the role...lol....or hire Chad Duelle in the role and put Chandler's brother in the role on GH as Michael...lol

Yes...Days has been pretty good lately with scenes like the one with Dee and Judi....

[JackPeyton]

Chandler never said he was leaving. He talked about how he wants to get a degree, sure, but that doesnt mean he is out. I think he is likely to exit, but things can be worked out. Thats the point of negotiation when your contract is up, esp when you are a fan favorite, in a front burner story line, and just won two emmys. If they dont work something out the role will likely just be recasted, but the already long list of potential recasts that supposedly have some weight to them is amusing, because he wouldnt exit to december so even if they did a right away recast, the new actor likely wont start until january (and air until may...)

[cassadine1991]

yeah... and December is 6 months away, a lot can happen

[Cheap21]

Haha, Marlena READ Adrienne's ass.

Hate to admit it but that Brady and Nicole sex was hot

Loved Kristen's outfit. What is it that she got that guy to get for her?

[Shawn]

If Stefano's plan had worked, I would say that he had Rafe's dick in a box.

[rlj]

in the Marlena and Adrienne scenes, Dee's upper lip did not mocve once LOL!
