DAYS: October 2017 Discussion Thread

I agree. I thought Justin and Maggie's reaction was too subdued in my opinion to the news of Victor and Adrianne's nuptials. 

The character of Brady has been useless since his SORASing. It's ridiculous. The only time he served any usefulness was during Kristen's return, and that's it.

With all the firings and rehirings and numerous regime changes, I have no idea how Eric Martsolf and Galen Gering seem untouchable. At least Martsolf tries at times. Whenever Brady becomes dark and unhinged, like now, Martsolf does a good job. Which surprises me as he was never anything special in the beginning of his soap career, but I think he's come into his own. Unlike Gering. Rafe is totally useless. He and his annoying sister could go tomorrow and I'd be thrilled.

 

I'm pretty happy with the show too. It's not perfect but it's so much more watchable and enjoyable and SOAPY. It feels like a damn soap opera again.

I watched days as a kid in the late 80s....victor didn't like Adrienne..and she wasn't crazy about him.  Even when she and Justin came back in the late 2000s...she and he didn't care for one another....so I would think Justin would be curious about this sudden about face with Adrienne wanting to marry Victor.

It doesn't make sense. The good thing is that this story ends next week.

 

I thought yesterday's show minus Hattie/Adrienne was awful. Now I know why I hated Sami. All she did was cry and cry and babble on about her life. After yesterday's show I can't wait for her to leave again. I can't stand the actress or the character.

Exactly, he should have grown. I think he tries, at times, but it's not like Rafe has any real good material, TBH. I never minded him on Passions because I shipped Shuis beyond belief, lol.

 

I think Martsolf has grown, but I don't understand the massive focus on Brady over the years. Lawd. I'm so tired of him but his dark turn has me slightly interested. Wouldn't mind Eve and Brady teaming up and causing hell. I wonder if Eve comes back to try and get custody of Tate from Brady.

 

Justin wasn't on the show when Bonnie was. Maggie AND Julie (who had a scene about Bonnie that was CUT ... the day Chloe hung Club Chloe sign outside and we started with Maggie and Julie walking out of the club. They also cut a scene with Chloe/Parker) and Victor should all be aware of Bonnie.

 

I'm curious by their weird reactions to "Adrienne" and Victor falling in love and getting married. Unless they're all in on it and trapping Bonnie, but with Justin involving Steve and Kayla I'm not sure he is. The Bonnie story has been weird. I've liked seeing JE camp it up and have fun and Bonnie/Sheila has been decent and I'm all for Bonnie torturing Maggie, but it's been sort of an afterthought.

 

But during Bonnie's run, she was never meant to look like Adrienne so no one out there seems to be thinking "Adrienne has a double" like they did with Marlena/Hattie.

What’s interesting was I absolutely despised Bonnie her first go round so I was excited to see JE play this Adrienne character I had heard so much about. I don’t know if Adrienne was a huge crier her first go round, but by the time I gave up the show under Higley, all she did was cry. I was so pleasantly surprised to be entertained by Bonnie at the wedding. 

 

Its still really dumb on the show’s part though to suddenly acknowledge Bonnie and Adrienne looking alike, when no one ever mentioned it the first go round.

Agreed. I couldn't stand Bonnie in her original run for the most part. I've enjoyed her this time. I was the same as you, looked forward to  Judi playing Adrienne but Adrienne never did much for me, but it doesn't help I've really never watched much of anything of Justin/Adrienne from old episodes or clips so I had no real attachment to either, except to the actors themselves.

Just watched Monday.

 

I am sick of Brady and his camp acting at this point. I do think the actress who plays Nicole did well though.

 

I am now a fan of Chloe, and I really like Rafe and Gaby's sibling relationships. 3 of the best actors in the show at the moment.

 

Great to see Sami back!!

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
