OMG I love them so so so so much.

It's a travesty what's happened to Jennifer, too. One of the most popular characters on DAYS for decades is now REALLY REALLY hated. Melissa Reeves must be so proud. Now they just need to shove a Chik-Fil-A bag in a scene and boom! (kidding but seriously ... that sure didn't help).

I'm also disgusted by JJ and Abby throwing themselves on swords to save precious Daniel. And it still really ticks me off they used Jack's rape of Kayla to pretty much turn JJ towards Daniel.

Yeah. It's not been very good. Thank god for the script writers for turning [!@#$%^&*] into at least a few entertaining lines. I'll take what I can get LOL. Anytime this show focuses on Dannifer the quality just immediately goes down. Not to mention the entire show feels like it's on rinse, wash and repeat until Eve and Kristen show up this summer. And honestly, I'm not looking forward to Eve only because I have a feeling she's the next "Dannifer obstacle" and it will be such a waste of Kassie DePaiva and Eve, however, Eve tormenting Jenny-Jen could be fun, if that's where they're going with this (Kassie's already friends with Arianne, Shawn, etc. so .... it's obvious). However, Kassie would probably work better with Shawn, if we continue to be stuck with him and his albatross of a character.

Days is killing me right now!

The only thoughts for the week that I Have..

1) This show is so stale right now! Even on an episode where Daniel ISN'T EVEN ON every storyline is revolving around him and his name has come up at least 7 times in dialogue!!! It's insane!! Have we not already proven time and time again that Daniel Jonas is NOT a successful leading character on this show! When our storylines revolve around Danifer's 2543rd attempt at a relationship, JJ propping Daniel and being a teenage Saint with his innocent teenybop girlfriend, Hope playing Suzy Homemaker planning a kid's fundraiser, and Will and Sonny playing house then the show will be crap and the ratings will reflect it!

2) The only good thing I have to say this week is that I do enjoy the plot movement of Will wanting to get a custody agreement. Although this story is not exciting by ANY means, it seems like a fluid and natural story in Will's progression considering his history with Nick and Gabi.

Otherwise, this show has got to get MOVING. They can not just "wait" to tell story and wait around for KDP and ED to arrive to tell good story. We have viable quality characters on our screens NOW - so they need to be used NOW.

Happy Easter all! :)

That story makes no sense without Jack in the picture. Of course, others will disagree. They'll think it's just fine for someone to lash out at his dead father, who isn't there to take it OR try like hell to show the boy how he isn't the man he was back then. But that's okay.

Yes but also played a dead relative of Allison's in the Superstition arc (Rebecca Carrington (April 5, 2002 to June 17, 2002). She & Kevin were Locked in a painting by a candle or something and Rafe's locket freed them

IA. Frankly, without Frankie there for Eve and Jennifer to fight over (again), what's the point? And if Eve IS slated to be yet another obstacle for Jennifer and Daniel...well, that's just contrived as hell.

If DAYS wants to bring back Eve Donovan, that's fine. If nothing else, it might guarantee future appearances from Shane. I just hope they give that character something good to interest the folks at home.

Happy Easter to you as well! Keep those DAYS thoughts coming, they're great to read! :)

It's been drivel for a long while. DAYS is just not DAYS! This is why I stay watching old classic episodes. Sure the current writers have had some sparks here and there. But these writers are incapable of maintaining good story or propelling engaging storylines.

    • I don't know if this counts for you but Bill Bell did a terrible short plot with an overweight character (Joann) who tried to French kiss Kay Chancellor.....if you google you'll find a link called Lezwatch.tv that has an article about it.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxpFaAp_UY/ Roman vs. Stefano, Cliff top, Beach Below This is one of the most important scenes on DAYS in the 80s. After this nothing was ever the same. DAYS 11-23-84   @JAS0N47Closing Credits roll & it's complete silence. Isn't that unusual?
    • Mack was the show's moral compass and his groundedness complimented Karen's hysteria perfectly. Also, Kevin Dobson was the best looking male cast member with a huge fan base. He was never going to be killed off...
    • As others (I think) have said, Long just didn't get Nola and Quint. I guess it would've been hard to write them into adventure type stories with two kids, but they just fell off the map after AJ's birth. (or even the wedding/honeymoon) Long would've had to rewrite something, because Alex forced the Chamberlains out of Spaulding in the fall of '84. Not that she couldn't have just ignored it and written Quint and Henry being involved at the firm. I swear there was some plot point she just literally ignored that surprised me, but as I'm floating around between years, I can't recall what it was. lol Has anyone found the first day of the Kyle/Lewis dinner party up in English? After he took over Lewis Oil, Kyle arranged a dinner party. All hell breaks loose--Mindy admits to shooting Kyle, Vanessa remembers Reva's accident, and Billy and Reva get into a screaming match and she tells HB that Billy blackmailed her out of her Lewis shares. The last three minutes (or so) of the episode are up, where Kyle tells the assembled that HB's his father. And the next episode picks up with Sally entering the fray. Y'all know I'm dying to hear Billy and Reva go at it. As dicey as '85 is, I love it anytime when Billy isn't Reva's bitch.  
    • The original premise of "Santa Barbara" was that a Lockridge (Warren) killed a Capwell (Channing), who loved an Andrade (Santana), while a Perkins (Joe) went to jail for the crime. I think once the show started to pull away the threads by eliminating Joe and naming a new killer a lot of the show's original potential was lost. I contend, like others, that the fault lied in the uninspiring casting, which leads me to wonder if that's why the show became so keen on casting soap veterans for nearly every pivotal role.  The failure of the Perkins family was definitely a casting issue followed by a lack of interest in committing to the original onscreen characterization. I was fascinated watching the early episodes and realizing that the Perkins had been financially wiped out by the trial, which was an underlying current towards John's animosity towards his son. Then, the additional complication of Marissa's nearly incestual affection for Joe that led to her cutting off John sexually was a wild moment to witness, but not as strong as it could have been with a stronger actor in the role of John Perkins. Melissa Brennan wasn't the right choice for the aspiring young vixen that Jade was intended to be. Brennan may have breathed life into Laken, but I'm not sure how Julia Ronnie would have done in the role of Jade.  Despite the recorded history, Christina Robertson and Sarah Gallagher weren't sisters; they were aunt and niece.  I don't think it would have hurt to make Marissa and Augusta sisters, but I think it would have made the Joe / Augusta seduction impossible unless you truly mimick "Rituals" and make Joe Sarah's stepson. I think a childhood friendship between the two women would have worked. It would have also given Augusta someone to confide in about the situation involving Peter Flint and herself as Marissa would have been aware of Peter from her work at the pre school. As childhood friends that were estranged by class differences, I think a relationship between Augusta and Joe (and later Augusta and a sexually frustrated John) would have had multiple layers to play out giving a deeper impact on Augusta's involvement in both of the men in Marissa's life. And because I have thought about this all too much, I would have Augusta and Marissa square off again when Jade, after marrying Ted while pregnant, learned that the little Capwell heir was in fact an imprisoned Warren's son only for Augusta to ultimately keep mum because with Ted married to Jade he wasn't free to pursue Laken.  I imagine the Andrades would have slowly been withdrawn from the Capwell inner circle as the truth about Santana, Channing, Jr., and the baby came to light for everyone. In what I seen in the 1980s, Rosa confronts C.C. once about the baby and then seems to move on. Early in the run, the actor playing Reuben claims he and Bridget Dobson had a falling out and implied that she was racist which led to the character fading into the woodwork.  I know I am like maybe one of two people who liked the 1990s run of the Dobsons, but I loved the set up for Santana / C.C. with the Andrades having owned the land that Oasis sat on years earlier posing Santana to come into money while also potentially landing a position where she could raise Gina's son with C.C. if C.C. and Santana could have secured custody of the child. With Eden gone, I would have gone back to Santana and Cruz, but if not, I think Brick should have returned to be Santana's conscience and potential love interest.     
    • Well, I'm not going to shoot you, so no worries there. If it's subpar i hate hearing that. It was an old DVD not even mine a former partner. I thought why not make use of it. Serves me right for thinking. But to be clear, white label, www.radiomemory.com 
    • Just compared the open on Friday's episode with the first week episodes. I think the difference is that the bass line is much more apparent -- stronger and harder.
    • Phew, that was close to disaster!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.
