DAYS: August 2014 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

That's what every soap couple believes "They are way stronger than that." - especially on DAYS! The list is FAR too long of couples who were 'destined' to be together and had the 'perfect' relationship. You mention Bo & Hope - there were plenty of obstacles are other parties involved in their lives. (I mean Hope gets an email and jumps into bed with Patrick. Mmm-hmm.) My point is that for real progress - treat them the same. Give them the same obstacles. Will & Sonny are too young to be left on the sidelines as a couple who will spend the next 50 years together. Please! It's their first romance/love.

It doesn't have to be a full on affair. Sonny being mad about Will's article or Will being mad at Sonny getting him the job could lead them to a friendship with another gay that the other interprets as an affair or potential affair. Just do SOMETHING with them.

Honestly, all the amazing women on this show are being bogged down by Daniel. He needs to leave Theresa and Eve and Kristen and Nicole alone. I fear for when he finally gets involved in the Sami story, since it's the only one not about him.

The kid was echoing what we the viewers felt about his so called departure.

Re: WilSon

The show had so much potential other than just another affair, but the show seems to be afraid of any type of conflict with Will and Sonny. Will should have been shipped off to jail IMO at the conclusion of Sami's trial last year, for shooting EJ. The show could have dealt with Sonny coping with Will's absence, eventually meeting a guy who actually had similar interest as he does (remember the show attempted to illustrate this with Sonny's old pal coming to town and the two of them reminiscing about their many trips across the globe?). Just as Sonny is forced to face his feelings for this guy, Will is released from jail. The triangle would be more emotional than physical.

Mixed thoughts on Monday and Tuesday ...

LMAO at Theresa's terrible acting job with Paige. The actress playing Paige is even more terrible. Lord it's like she's walking ambien. Zzzzz. Perk up.

Kassie continues to be a great addition.

It's nice seeing Hope and Aiden again. Felt like forever. I'm all for a slow build and quite enjoy their interactions, but can we start moving this along?

I love Nicole vs. Kristen any day but I can't take Nicole seriously with that haircut though she ultimately looks pretty good.

Maggie's back to being a weeping mess over 'my son'. Please take a flying leap and take your precious egg baby with you. Always nice seeing Parker though.

Jennifer and Eric honestly aren't terrible around each other .... and thankfully they seem to be styling Jennifer better (slightly). And yes to Eric in a suit. Though damn, do he and Daniel need to get a room because Eric always seems to have it so bad for Daniel.

Even trying to be 'bad' Will is so [!@#$%^&*] boring. Sonny has been dragged down by Will for too long. Zzzzzzzz to these two. Seriously. Will all pouty and angry is not working, IMO. Guy Wilson plays everything the same. I've defended him a bit and tried to give him a chance but he's so blah and has zero range. I did like Kate confronting Will, and her "I better go". Heh.

EJ and Sami still want to !@#$%^&*] each other. Clearly. Ugh.

And yessss to Abby and Ben. I'm here for them and I am starting to feel a bit of chemistry between them. I'm slightly nervous/curious where this Ben and 'anger issue' is going to go.

Always nice seeing Rory even if JJ is a shitty friend towards him and practically ignores him and treats him like a nuisance, even though Rory would probably take a bullet for JJ. Ugh to MaryBeth. Why is this bitch so judgemental? Take a seat. I'd like her if it wasn't for this crap. She's a slightly better actress than Paige, though not by a whole lot.

And Monday and Tuesday are why I enjoy Days (usually ... the Kristen/Daniel crap nearly drove me away again). Numerous storylines and characters, woven together, and interacting. It's fairly well balanced (usually ...). Even if stories don't go anywhere, the daily episodes are often entertaining enough.

The thing I am finally realizing Sonny is that he needs to be the protector even if it means controlling a situation like Will's job. I agree ith Victor when he told Sonny are you his hubby or did you adopt him.

Sonny doesnt see Will as an equal to him and honestly I feel Sonny would be like this with any guy he dated its not just cause the guy is Will

I don't have a problem with Sonny being underhanded. He is a Kiriakis. It's better than him being written as perfect. His best scene partner was Camilla as Gabi bc she ignited fire within him which I never see with GW. Sonny as a jerk works. I'd be fine with him being a jerk with Will if he inspired any drama for them but Will is so milquetoast. I think Sonny could work better with someone else a bit more dynamic and not so vanilla

Im sorry but If Sonny feels he needs to stop people like his Mom telling Will that Victor owns the Magazine then Sonny knows he messed up by how he got Will the job & lying to him. Knowing Will wont like it at all. They are married. Trust is 100% key in marriage. Sonny is not showing Trust in this instance

I think a large number of the WilSon stans would be happy if they got a 2-minute daily scene of WilSon saying "I wuv you." "I wuv you, too. Isn't it great that we're gay and married." "I know. Salem is so accepting. Now, let's go get some coffee." Ugh! As mentioned, Sonny & Will genetics + twisted and messed up family history should make them far different people than they are being written. I'm harping on this because I believe DAYS has a unique opportunity now - no other soap has anything like WilSon -they are established, popular, etc. They may be surprised at how the audience reacts.

On another note, I must say that KDP is really starting to entertain me as Eve. She's not CR, but she's definitely giving a very physical and animated performance. While everyone else is standing around, she is lighting it up with a lot of energy.

    • Has anyone ever posted January and February 1974? I can't find them in the 'Look Back to 75' thread. Thanks.
    • Did January and February 1974 DSN ever get posted? I can't seem to find it in this thread.
    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
