DAYS: June 2016 Discussion Thread

Christ, let's just do it. When the time comes that DAYS is cancelled, I secretly hope they'll do some sort of quick wrap down memory lane via revisited storylines, similar to OLTL when they celebrated their 40th in the summer of 2008. Have Marlena turn into a panther, levitate, morph into Eileen Davidson... have rubber masks... mind control.... activate a couple computer chips in peoples' heads via satellite... bring back Celeste to foretell doom 'n gloom... Parisian underground tunnels... a woman wearing white lace over her face haunting the tiny Salem park... do it all. Throw out the kitchen sink and have it knock someone in the head so they have amnesia.

And 17 years on daytime and he's still nearly as bad of an actor as he was when he started on Passions. Look, he's passable, and likable, but he's never been great. He does certain things well and I liked his chemistry with a few people. But Rafe as a character has failed. Just as Daniel did. I still don't care about any of Rafe's family. I like Gabi but she gets zero airtime. His mother's annoying (I feel like the actress is wasted and I just can't picture her with A Martinez). Blanca has potential but even then I still don't care. Eduardo's grown on me. Dario's a total waste of a contract. We get rid of Greg Vaughan to let Jordi Vilasuso be wasted completely as Dario. Sigh. And I appreciate DAYS wanting a hispanic family, but this group proves you shouldn't just have minorities to have minorities.

 

It's not that hard to make DAYS an interesting soap. It really isn't.

They can't actually be pursuing a romantic triangle with Aiden, Hope and Rafe after his son raped her daughter, right? I'm crazy?

 

They can't actually have Hope and Ciara forgiving Chase?

If you are going to have a hispanic family TPTB need to hire actors that can actually act.  Galen isn't a very good actor. His acting hasn't improved at all from his time as Passions. Rafe's mother should have been cast as his grandmother and not mother. The actress is good in spanish novelas..but she is miscast here as the mom. The actress who plays Bianca is a great actress on novelas…but her accent when speaking in English is throwing me off. I wish she could hide her accent while saying her lines. Jordi Vilasuso is an awful actor. He was bad on GL and on Days too. He needs to stick to just modeling.

    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
    • There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.
    • Especially children who much more likable characters and are played by better actors

      It’s a worse idea than her wanting to become a doctor Well, some of us Italians do prefer trumpets and saxophones over strings
