Days: November 2015 Discussion Thread

The only way I'd have found this kind of rush acceptable is, again, on the 30-minute Prospect Park online start-ups, where they were experimenting with their pacing and story speed in very different ways on both shows and where they were having growing pains. DAYS is in its 50th anniversary on a network, there's no excuse for this. At least the material was solid and the performances great.

I'm laughing, but also, they could've done something like that. Do an episode that spans a few days or weeks. Play with and break the form. For as strong as the past two episodes were, scene-, dialogue-, and acting-wise (errr, Ciara aside), they should've found a way to make the pacing and outlining match. It's absolutely bonkers that Hope has had two husbands drop dead in under 24 hours!

They even had Ciara mention the 24 hour thing yesterday, like they're impressed with themselves for it.

 

In 24 hours ... Hope gets married. Hope makes love to her husband. Hope's husband tries to kill her for her money (which I now know started as 250,000 in 1983). Hope dies for a minute. Hope's ex husband murders her current husband. Hope's alive, admitted and discharged from hospital. Hope has PTS. Bo reunited with the family. Bo goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with an inoperable tumor. Hope makes love to her ex-husband. Bo decides to leave Hope to Rafe in his will. Bo gets farewell party. Bo says goodbye to all the family. Hope's ex husband dies on her lips.

 

In agreement, they should have definitely taken out the coins for TICML. This was no buy 3 get 2 free bin moment (no offense to Kelly).

Been watching some Bo/Hope montages for the past hour.  :( 

 

This one has my all time favourite Bo/Hope scene - the puzzle box scene (I can't find the full scenes on youtube. If anyone knows where I can see it, please let me know).

 

Montage/Clip in spoiler tag:

 

 

 

This is another good montage:

Full scene at the beginning of this, Toups. I knew I had seen it recently. I got to qualify it as one of their best, as well, because that was my first time seeing them together and was like s--t, they're magnificent.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
