Members Skylover Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Why is that mean? I guess they've gone for 'zany, crazy' etc but it just looks like an actress wearing a wig and fake teeth, there's nothing remotely realistic about the character at all. I do feel like I'm still trying to 'get' the style of American soaps though. I'm really enjoying Days though for what it is. The Will story has been well-written so far.

Members Skylover Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Sami and Lucas together are literally one of my favourite things ever in soap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Susan was mostly just on the show for about a year and a half so wasn't there long enough for people to get really sick of her. She was a comic character who had a bit of romance in her last months (but mostly comic romance) and was a plot device. It's down to personal taste - I enjoyed her, but I'm sure many may have hated her. But that whole era with Kristen and Susan was very popular at the time (1997).

Members Vee Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 This is the legacy of the James E. Reilly DAYS we told you about. The show is often like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 13, 2017 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 As in Will and JJ?? Aren't they related? If not hell yeah!!....LOL I believe you use to be an ATWT poster? It's been so long that my ATWT has been gone that I forgot who posted on the threads besides P.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Primarily ATWT yes but I watched Days regularly in the 90s and check in on it now here and there. My thought is most soap characters qualify as white trash anyway so gay cousin dating wouldn’t be a horrible thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 13, 2017 Members Share Posted November 13, 2017 Let's see: J.J.'s mom, Jennifer, is half-sibling to Will's dad, Lucas. But, DAYS being DAYS, they could retcon and say Austin is really his dad. Also, in this case, one guy isn't going to get the other guy pregnant (...although, again, this is DAYS...) so there's no risk of making the family trees even more tangled than they are already.

Members Skylover Posted November 14, 2017 Members Share Posted November 14, 2017 Ah ok thanks, are there any other ludicrous characters like this? They need to so something stylistically about the show. I really DESPISE the shots where the camera slowly zooms in, just do static shots, and the incidental music is awful - I think they'd be better off with no music at all or at least drastically updating it. Probably no music would be better due to the sheer amount of output the show has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 14, 2017 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well I never thought CM Will looked like Lucas at all. He was always Sami's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 14, 2017 Members Share Posted November 14, 2017 Ohhh yes. They will also never change the show stylistically. It's bargain basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2017 Members Share Posted November 14, 2017 If you ever want to see any of the '80s episodes of the show you may enjoy those more than current fare. It was grounded but also had a heaping helping of silliness, including fan favorites Eugene and Calliope - he had a robot and left Salem in a time machine. She dressed as an Easter basket and had a wedding for her dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
