DAYS: October 2014 Discussion Thread

That's what I've been saying for months! How can the writers be so obviously to not only what the audience wants, but also the type of story that will impact the show until it's done? Perhaps we'll get lucky and it will be Kristen's next arc. Maybe they saved it because of all the other transitions going on and they know that could be a "show-saving" storyline.

So glad my Daniel did not follow through with Kristen..no one will believe him, especially lame Brady and equally lame Jennifer. sure wish the posters on this board would groe up and quit calling the actors names..It is so childish..and predictable


Grow up I meant to post.

I am so late at updating my thoughts for last week's epsisodes - I've been packing and moving! (but I'm going to still give my thoughts since it was Sami's exit!).

1) I am loving where the JJ/Eve chemistry is going! We need to see JJ's bad boy side again and mixing it up with Eve Donovan is perfect!

2) Anne + Kristen in scenes together = THANK YOU!!

3) The only time in this post I will mention him - but JJ turning to Daniel as a father figure is truly a slap in the face as a long time viewer.

4) Quote of the week Runner up: "I was good as the Step-sister in Cinderella, wasn't I?" - Ciara.... I love this girl!... and I really loved the foreshadowing with Aiden telling Ciara "Do you know how dull this town would be without you." - I would love for teenage/adult Ciara to have a flashback to that scene years from now as she is causing pure hell in Salem!

5) Ok - Sami's exit! I know the storyline was a little silly - but I LOVED IT!! The flashbacks were great - I love how Sami got to spend special one on one time with pretty much all of the important people close to her. The scenes with Sami/Hope, Sami/Kate, Sami/Caroline, and even Sami making amends with Abby nearly had me in tears... however the absolute best part for me was Sami's goodbye with Marlena (and the amazing Sami/Marlena flashbacks) and Sami's goodbye to Lucas - I absolutely LOVE their relationship. Their flashbacks were of course amazing! And for me, the best line of the entire week came from their exchange as Sami told Lucas "Lucas, I will never have a better friend." and Lucas said "Neither will I." ... Loved them as a couple, loved them raising Will, and I love how through it all, through the love and hate and scheming - they are each other's best friends at heart. Loved it.

We'll miss you Ali. Thank you for 22 amazing years!! :)

I liked the individual scenes but I'm selfish and would have wanted more substance and not a rush job, but I'm really really glad they took the time to hit on Sami's relationships. She's been causing havoc for 21 years. Unlike many vets who were sent away without nary a goodbye. I'd imagine a lot of that exit had to do with Sweeney pushing for a lot of that. Didn't I read she was pushing for the flashbacks?

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
