DAYS: Actor returning?


Recommended Posts

Oh, I don't believe Corday for a minute and killing off Will was always stupid even if the new actor didn't work. They should've just written him off the canvas for a while and then either gotten Massey or a new competent actor.

I guess it explains why Freddie Smith is back too.

Unless Massey is suddenly much more comfortable with men and is going to pretend he isn't just there to cash a check, it's a waste of time. Or is he hoping they hook Will and Gabi up again, which was the only time he was in any way animated in his last 2 years on the show? Knowing the current state of DAYS, I wouldn't be shocked. 

 

If it's just as a vision, they're better off not bothering. If they need drive by smirking and shouting, turn the lighting down and hire Gary Busey. There isn't that much of a difference anyway.

Killing Will was a horrific mistake no matter who was in the role so I am glad they're most likely undoing it, which I mostly expected them to do given DAYS' relentless track record for [!@#$%^&*] up, walking it back and doing good and then walking it back. I don't expect much from the stories but I am glad if it happens.

I agree, but it's hard to even be as pleased as I should be because the whole thing was needless and it also gives me the impression they only care about Will if it's a certain actor in the role. I doubt Chandler is coming back for long if it's tied to Freddie also returning. With a better recast than Guy Wilson, Will could have driven story for years, but instead, he was murdered for no apparent reason, and will just be back long enough for an "oops, never mind." And the only gay character remaining on the show will probably be under five Paul. 

 

I guess it's better than nothing, but talk about crumbs.

Knowing Corday It's anyone's guess how long they're back, really. It could be Season of the Gays Part II. I have no investment at this point so I don't particularly care, I'm just glad to see that mess undone.

Yeah, I honestly don't even care as long as they undo the death. I very rarely feel this way about soap stories, but this is like Stuart on AMC: just undo it however the hell you can. Get these actors in there for two episodes, explain how Will is alive, and send them off. Whatever. 

 

I do also think it's entirely possible that Corday is somehow now feeling some great remorse because Shawn/Belle/Philip Round 433497 isn't bringing the same hype that WilSon did. Like Vee says, they eventually double-back on everything.

Okay...? What am I bitter about? I've barely watched this show in almost fifteen years. I just watch DAYS keep [!@#$%^&*] up year after year, but you're excusing it over and over when it's obviously bad because... you think the new twinks are cute?

 

Either give me a substantive response to excuse everything people are finding wrong with this show - including, you know, dropping multiple storylines, exterminating the gays, and doing a revolving door of actors coming and going and coming back again because Ken Corday can't focus on a single strategy for this show for longer than ten minutes - or sit down.

I actually don't really give a damn about Lastovic and McClendon. Yeah, they are cute, and hell maybe I give them a pass because of that, but so what. I only watch because there's nothing else to see around 1PM, yeah the majority of the stories are total [!@#$%^&*], and yeah they fucked up royally by letting Freddie Smith go, firing Guy Wilson and doing nothing with Christopher Sean, but I still want to know what happens to these characters. Also,  what gives you the damn right, to bring me down and treat me like [!@#$%^&*], because I still like watching this show?

My problem is that you just admitted the show is a disaster but you still act shocked and outraged that everyone else has issues with the show. You answered your own question about why people still have these problems, so stop acting amazed and appalled. Just let people feel the way they feel and stop apologizing for the show.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
