DAYS: December 2013 Discussion Thread

[SouthOfSoap]

Also just got caught up on Wednesday and hands down, those were the best scenes I've ever from EJ/Sami and their portrayers. As to Cheap and AE's disagreement - I'd say you're both correct lol. Ejami are toxic, they have done things to each other that beggar belief why they are even together, neither are rootable in the classical soap sense. And yet, it seems to work for the first time. They're not conventional, it's ugly at times, it's so complex and complicated, but these scenes prove that when the writing is there to support it, it makes sense.

Theresa is awesome - I loved how she isn't afraid to sit on what she has. That stunt with her neighbor was great - she ain't kidding with JJ, but you know she still has a soft spot for him, in spite of his lineage.

Jen/Abby/JJ together is great. It's amazing how awful Jen and Abby's storylines are outside of the Devereaux clan.

So is Kate/Jordan a redux of Kate/Chloe? I hope this is more about Jordan "stealing" Rafe rather than about Rafe. In fact, Rafe can leave the SL now and it could still work lol!

Chandler Massey, dude... awful acting

[Ira]

The texts appearing on the screen were CRACKING me up. I've mostly seen this in teen shows or web series, but I like Days taking advantage of it. It feels modern.

[AlexElizabeth]

So glad that Theresa and JJ are entertaining again! I was LMAO at the beginning when JJ hung up the phone and was just like "Bitch."

The texts on the screen... hate! I complained about it on PP OLTL, and I'm complaining about it now! Lol, I don't like it. Sonny's reactions in the closet were cute though. He should turn his phone off vibrate.

I just don't know how I feel about Nicole's hair.

[SouthOfSoap]

I loved the texts on the screen. Those were cute scenes overall - Sonny is often so busy nailing himself to a cross, I had forgotten what a gorgeous smile Freddie Smith has.

LMAO at Brady and JJ looking for the same dealer.

Nicole not copping on to Brady being high as a kite was silly. I don't like Nicole's new neo-pixie haircut.

I feel so sad for Rory and Bev still hoping for JJ's friendship.

Abby needs to get laid again.

[DaytimeFan]

I just spat out my water into my office garbage can. Laugh out loud to that one. Sonny texting from the closet and his reactions were quite fun to watch.

I like Nicole's hair, and her interaction with Marlena was good too!

They need to straighten Theresa's hair, I just hate what's currently onscreen. Jen Lilley looks terrible like that.

Love the JJ is screwed storyline. Now DAYS having a few addicts onscreen makes sense and is fun!

[Cheap21]

I know how I feel....HATED it! They really need to stop hacking away at her hair. Give that bitch a wig or something. She looks awful.

LMAO at Anne being a bitch to Teresa and them bonding after Anne realizes she's still a "Horton Hater". I want to join that club!

Loved the twist with JJ and Brady both showing up to meet the drug dealer and both trying to get rid of the other

Gabi: "His cousin is a detective"

Sami: "Hope will have nothing to detect. It will be fine"

Another great line was when Sami said she still is affected by not having her mother around when she was growing up and Kate said "you don't want Arianna to be as screwed up as Sami right?"

Killing it! Kate is rocking that dress and Sami's hair is great

Will reminds me of that one poster that demands the ratings NOW! Boy, calm your ass down

Exactly why did Sonny record the conversation? Did he not learn his lesson from the Bernardi case? And hiding behind the Christmas tree was so stupid. Why didn't he just open the door and act like he came home to pick something up and leave?

LMAO at Adrienne talking about being sorry for how she acted in the past with assuming Will's family would always bring Sonny trouble, not knowing the current mess is a rehash of what happened earlier this year.

[Cat]

Nicole should go full Mia-Farrow-in-1968 pixie. She has the face to pull it off. This Kate Gosselin mess is not working on her. Either go long, shoulder-length or super-short but not this in-between [!@#$%^&*].

[AlexElizabeth]

LMFAO!

I so proud to be a DOOL fan right now! This show is amazing right now! Here's my thoughts for the week!

1) Best part of the week = Sami/Gabi/Kate and Sonny scenes! Kate + Sami are always GOLD, adding in Ciara and Tho in the mix, Amazing soap with amazing characters! I love the way they are all playing off each other and the way they are throwing in comedy (Sonny is actually "in" the closet! haha - classic! And I loved the texting between Will/Sonny.. This entire storyline is amazing! And best of all I love how it is an umbrella storyline.. involved aready we have Nick, Gabi, Sami, Kate, Sonny, Will, Adrienne, Theo, and Ciara... Please keep up the umbrella character driven storylines writers!!!

2) Ali and James were AMAZING in their scenes this week! Maybe even the best scenes between them that I have EVER seen! I am really caring more and more about their love story. And at first I was opposed to EJ/Abby.. but I like the way the writers are slowly building this up! I'm intrigued.

3) As always, Ciara/Theo = amazing! Ciara, thank you for remembering you have a daddy and mentioning Bo! I still REALLY need some kind of resolution to Bo... It doesn't matter how long they are silent on the matter.. I need some kind of resolution.

4) I love the writers remembering the shows history! This week Daniel mentioned Craig, Nancy, and Joy to Parker and Marlena mentioned how Stefano used to have a minion named "Dr. Wilhelm Rolf" and "they went separate ways a while ago." or something like that..... I hate loose ends of stories and I felt like we never got a conclusion to Dr. Rolf.. and even though Marlena didn't specifically mention what Dr. Rolf is up to - I appreciate that the show referenced that he has moved on away from Stefano. I really appreciate them respecting history.

5) Loved Teresa/Anne on Friday. Those two play off each other like gold!

6) This is small, but I really appreciate the small things.. but there was some Christmas music just playing as background music this week and that music plus all the amazing set decoration for Christmas really add an awesome special touch to the show that I enjoy

7) My one pet peeve of the week is Will mentioning about his "birthday party"... When I heard that I thought to myself "I'm pretty sure Will wasn't born in December/January"... so I looked It up and Will was born on Nov 16th. I know I'm being picky.... but I don't like it when they change even small details like birthdays for storyline reasons. Sorry. End of rant.

8) Best line of the week: Said by Rory to JJ.. "You, Me, Lady Gaga... We're all on the edge." haha. I love these writers!

[Juliajms]

I haven't seen the scenes yet, but I'm thinking you meant Theresa? I hope so, because I love Anne and Theresa's Jen hate. When Anne showed Theresa the statement she wanted her to read at that hearing Theresa gave this little smile, that kept me hoping she was faking her reformed act. So glad that was the case. The 180 she was doing was just too much too soon.

[Cheap21]

yeah typo. Meant Teresa!

[SouthOfSoap]

Yes! When her hair is curly/wavy, her eyes seem out of proportion to her face, yet straight hair seems to balance them out nicely.

They had the door chained so he would not have been able to get in, and leaving via the door would have let them know someone was there, since he could not rechain it behind him. A better question would be why didn't he close the window behind him?

Anne walking away and sticking her tongue out like that had me ROTFLMAO. Meredith Scott Lynn has great comedic timing.

lol at cocky naive JJ thinking he had deleted the only copy!

"It's in the cloud" bwahahahaha!

Marlena looked flawless in that camel leather jacket and polo neck. Nicole's purple leather thing was tacky. What's with all the leather on this show?

I hope they keep Lauren Boles forever.

[Juliajms]

Wow. The show is really going to go their with Abby and EJ aren't they? That should shake things up in Salem.

[YRBB]

Theresa was faking it all!!! Unbelievable & amazing.

Is Theresa somehow related to Brady? Cos they had amazing, HOT HOT HOT chemistry.

This thing they're building between Abigail and E.J.... Not sure what I feel about them but it's so soapy, you gotta love it. But Sami will eat her alive.

The Sami & Kate comedy hour is brilliant. Such a great story for them to play, even though that means Gabi gets to have frontburner story and my stomach can't handle a lot of that.

[cassadine1991]

Theresa and Brady are second cousins
