Members Ira Posted July 11, 2014 Members Share Posted July 11, 2014 Today's episode. I'm in awe. Not only from the Sami story, but Marlena doing STAND UP at that gala we only saw one room of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted July 11, 2014 Members Share Posted July 11, 2014 LMAO at Sami ripping into Deveraux Ho, asking her about her tongue workouts. Telling Jen to leave was great. Damn, Sami was PISSED! The anger in her voice spoke volumes Granny continues to look 20 years older than she should and the awful hair and dress doesn't help. LMAO at her geriatric ass trying to threaten Sami. What was the point of Patty's appearance? Man Marlena as host was painful. LMAO at this lame gala. They are waltzing in a storage room bc they cant afford a ballroom. Instead of having Marlena give her monologue in a ballroom full of people we got to see Aidan, Hope and the priest watch her on a tv in the storage room with a laugh track. Embarassing. This is what happens when you spend months planning a big party with no budget to back it up. Chemistry! Finally some movement. Im still sick of Kassie singing Eve's musical cue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted July 11, 2014 Members Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'm really disappointed if that's all we get to see from the "gala". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted July 11, 2014 Members Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wednesday: That final scene when Sami tells EJ what she did to him was what he did to Abby was priceless. I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, but when Maxine told Dr.Douche to improve his people skills, I lol'd. Ben is a valium overdose. I give rocks that Abby hasn't been "honest" with Ben, so the situational irony is wasted on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Loved Marlena's stand up! Great job Dee!!!! It was great Allison brought IT today! Didn't know she had it in her. Really good scenes. Now, because we have 2 decades of the hell Sami caused, there is no reason for Abigail to behave like a punk the second time. I will give her a pass today because she was caught off guard, but she needs to stand up for herself. Sami knows how to destroy lives, and she aint no beginner so Abigail better pull it together. Jenn gets on my very last nerve, but I really enjoyed her standing up to Sami for her daughter. No matter what Abigail did, it was great to see Jenn not tolerate Sami's disrespect. Hope and Aiden were very nice, but I'd rather not see KA wear those types of clothing. her body is disturbing! I digress. Hope is scared of this territory and it was played very well. Don't screw this up, Days! KDP is such a great add to this show. Eve is cracking me up, and I love that she is getting what she believes is hers. Drive Granny nuts, Eve! I like Paige and JJ. Disappointed Teresa and Brady were not on as a follow up to yesterday, but in due time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Days has had 3 major events in the last month and this is how they managed to handle them EJ and Sami's - occurred in the Dimera backyard with like 8 guests JJ's graduation - offscreen with aftermath at the Horton Town Square St. Jude Gala - we see it on a tv screen placed in a storage room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 I wish the show had more money to work with but they are certainly compensating with some good stories right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 I def feel like days is bringing the drama and I'll accept the minimal cheap ways they do it as far as sets and scenes go. Gimme good soap in front of a drop sheet and I'm in. Speaking of good, damn Sami is great. Ali is playing it so perfectly. The rage, the hurt, the everything is there. Sami is very much a more mature, grown up of her 1996 self right now and I am loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoseVioletDaisy Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hope & Aiden and the kids were adorable, although it's a little absurd trying to waltz in a broom closet. The "gala" set was just a curtain and a few plastic plants, really? Wow. Days is starting to remind me of Guiding Light when it went Peapack, with press conferences held in public parks and business meetings held in dark hallways with the boss standing on a plastic step-stool. Don't pretend you can do press conferences, business meetings, and gala balls if you simply can't. Between the set and the lame mental illness jokes, I felt really bad for Deidre Hall. I thought Sami's first move was perfect, in theory. Embarrassing Abby in front of Mommy is pretty big deal for her, probably the biggest thing she could do followed by "outing her" to the whole town which I'm sure is next. These scenes fell flat for me because Abby is so weak and immature and KM is not much of an actress. She can basically stand there looking like a deer in headlights, fake cry,...and...um...that's it. Reeves isn't doing much either. It's basically Sami unloading on two whiny little twits who just can't hang with her on any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 What was the point of Patty Stanger appearing for no reason? People don't watch soaps just for a pathetic cameo like that. They should have spent that money on a handful of extras for the gala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm with you up to a point. I can accept cheap, but the way for a show to get away with being broke is to not rub the audiences nose in it. Write the scenes you can afford to produce without looking ridiculous. Overall, Days does pretty well, but this gala is an exception, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted July 12, 2014 Members Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thursday's episode: I loved Sami's calmness breaking it down for EJ, and then him crying in his jail scene alone. Whatever criticisms I may have of these writers, I think they have done a brilliant job with Sami as a character. After all the damage Sheffer and Higley heaped onto her, for the longest time I wanted Sami off the show. But now I will miss her and it feels odd writing that. Theresa, you sneaky sneaky thing - love it! I love when Eve pushes Jenny's buttons. I can't wait for Eve and Anne to meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
