DAYS: June 2014 Discussion Thread

He was so green. Justin Gaston had to go

Please tell me it's not true that today Paige said her mom is coming to Salem next week.

No. No no no. No.

[KMan101]

I think it's clear that

[KMan101]

I dunno. I really couldn't give two shits about any of them to be honest, LOL.

[John]

LOL

[Cheap21]

LMAO at Marlena and Sami walking in on Eric and Nicole and harping like the harpies they were. Too bad Eric didn't tell them bc I really wanted to hear them go in on Nicole.

Oh my god, I CANT with this Daniel and Jennifer nonsense. Again, they fight over the DUMBEST things. Very juvenile.

The only good thing about those scenes is that they allowed me to make this

Kate and Stefano's story happening offscreen is LAME. That's GH type of sh-t

[KMan101]

They should be embarassed over those Dannifer break up scenes. Sooooo stupid and it's no wonder most of us hate Daniel. That was just absolutely horrible. I'd really give anything to have Daniel off of this show. And my God, why do they dress Jennifer so horribly? This is all so contrived and forced, and sooooo many characters have been thrown under the bus and wasted on this so-called couple. Jennifer comes off so desperate and pathetic going after him. Her entire life revolves around him. Who the hell is this woman? It sure isn't Jennifer Rose Horton. It's a pathetic middle-aged woman desperate to hold onto a man. Frankly, that man is not worth it.

I'm also disgusted if this is true

T and Gabby were probably the best thing about the episode. I really wish we had gotten them. I'm also slightly annoyed that Gabi gets this send-off with everyone important to her while other characters over the years, bigger than her, got either a rushed crappy exit, or no exit at all.

I'm really not here for Kate and Stefano getting back together. I'm also annoyed, again, that it's happening off-screen. They clearly don't know what to do with Kate so they're going this route again.

I have nothing to say about Ericole. Talk about ruining both characters, IMO. Horrible, terrible writing.

[AlexElizabeth]

Seriously... WTF are Dannifer even fighting about? This is beyond stupid.

T So good to see him.

Is Joe Mascolo unavailable or something? Is he okay?

[DRW50]

When I see that outfit I keep forgetting she has a shirt on and thinking that's kind of sluttish for Jennifer.

[NothinButAttitude]

I thought that T/Gabi scenes were the highlight of yesterday's episode too. I really hope that the writers decide to invest in the character and make him (Brendan Coughlin) a regular. I'd like for a young ingenue to come in and be paired with him. Paging Stephanie or Chelsea!

Moving on, I hope that this idiotic fight is the one thing that finally breaks Dannifer up for good. This pairing is one of the few minor things that keeps this show being great. Hell, if they'd break this coupling up, I'd be extremely content. Dare I say I am praying for Kassie DePaiva/Eve Donovan to have stellar chemistry with Daniel because it's apparent they've broken them up so Eve (Jennifer's foe) can swoop in and take him.

Stefano and Kate being paired together doesn't bother me much because I enjoyed the pairing. Kate is the type of woman that she needs a strong man beside her, to match her. Whether is it Stefano or Victor.

Nicole and Eric ... meh. I'm really over Nicole and her excessive whining at this point. Just marry her off and give her baby because this character truly deserves some happiness because she stays losing.

But I am going to speak this into the universe until it happens--Can we get a John/Marlena/Roman triangle and a Maxine/Abe love story? I hate how these five characters are being wasted.

[Cheap21]

John and Roman do NOT need more airtime, especially if it means they will get lines

[DRW50]

I was really impressed with those Gabi/Hope/Julie scenes. Camilla Banus was, well, OK, but the scenes weren't about Gabi anyway. I liked how they allowed Julie to be irrational and angry, especially since no one told her a strong reason why Nick was murdered. I heard some people saying this made them hate Julie, but I'd much rather see the character written as angry and grieving and not always saying the nicest thing than being written as the generic older woman who dispenses wisdom. I thought SSH did a good job, especially when she told Hope she wasn't asking Hope about seeing Gabi, she was asking "Detective Brady."

[John]

Julie have a seat. Nick had enough chances.

His 2nd was when he didnt go to Jail for Willow's death

3rd was when he got paroled in 2012

4th was after smith Island when he wanted to get help

5th was after coming back in Jn 2014 lying about how he wanted to make amends when he wanted to control Gabi

His chances were up

Julie get your damn head out of the Sand

[Cheap21]

So he deserved to die? Who the hell is Gabi to make that call. I'm with Carl. Love Julie and her spitfire attitude and we need more of her. She was completely justified in her anger. As mentioned, her cousin was murdered and no one told her why. To her, Nick had changed his life around and he and Gabi were happy and ready to move forward with their lives. She knew he was troubled but she knows nothing of the threats and the blackmail he's done since he returned. Gabi as someone who seemingly loved him, murdering him came out of left field and she had the right to confront his killer and demand answers. We didn't see it but she mentioned the grief and turmoil Jessica and Marie are going through. She had to deal with that
