With the Winter Olympics coming soon, I have to ask: how will NBC handle the DAYS during the Winter Olympics? Basically are they gonna just preempt it till the Olympics are over, or are they gonna upload it to NBC.com every day to keep the story going?

 

This the first Olympics since I came back to DAYS, so I’m clueless to how they handle DAYS during Olympic periods

Of all of the black characters on the show, Abe is the only one who has a real inner life, and that's a huge problem. You could swap out Val, Lani, and Eli for any generic character of any color, and the stories would feel the same. Theo was at least an interesting concept hampered by a green actor in KP, and RC is shipping him out.

Val, Lani and Eli should be *so* much more as characters.

 

We rarely see Val and Abe together having a deep conversation. We don't really see Val involved in the Eli/Lani thing (yet, I guess). We know Abe likes Eli and they played it here and there but there should be more. There needs to be more depth added.

I actually pity Lani. She didn't know whether JJ/Gabi were sleeping together and she made one mistake. What I don't like was JJ bullying her out of an abortion as a way to absolve his guilt for the Theo thing. Why must a woman's reproductive choices be influenced by a man? This is why soaps are on life support. Seriously? Lani is a cop and looked stable in her career. She didn't need a reminder of a mistake which ultimately could be pointed back to JJ's poor choices.

I don't feel sorry for her. Why should I? Anyways why should she feel guilty? She and JJ had already broken up. So Lani feeling all betrayed about JJ's cheating didn't make sense. The one that actually cheated was Eli.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By Vee · Posted

      Not hugely surprising, but still another awful blow for GH and soap history in general. Denise was a pioneer on several shows. Others have said everything far more eloquently than me, so I'm just echoing them here. I do wish more of her DAYS work was available - I always wanted to see them honor her again - but I am glad so much of her GH run is.

      I'm thinking he's much older than the age he's playing and botoxed the hell out if his face - that's why it doesn't move. Source: I saw him in a 2012 episode of CSI. Not only was he already in his 20s, but his face moved back then.

      I didn’t even think of that OMG Tomas not even pretty enough to make taking his “acting” palpable. And his two potential love interests are played by these genuinely charismatic actresses

      . I think Martin’s flying off the handle so much is intentional and plays into the secret. The family seems to know theres some rage issues there.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      I liked when Felicia was over the top and was more Felicia the writer than Felicia the mother figure. Personal taste as always. For me, Felicia was AW to me. She was one of the few constants on a show that was constantly changing.  RIP Denise Alexander. I always liked her on the show despite her storyline never reaching its full potential. The sad thing is I would watch that storyline in a second over so much of what happened on AW from 1986 onwards. Strangely, youtube recommended a AW episode to me last night that involved Mary comforting Scott about Dawn. I really do wish they had found a way to make those two characters work long term.

      Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.

      Dani really got on my nerves. Her own life is a total disaster, yet she interferes with everyone else's. What could she possibly say to Ted that will change anything? That will help anyone? And as you said, while she bashes Bill, she wants him back -- all the while knowing who he is and who he's been for years. None of these scenes are pushing me to appreciate Dani. -- OTOH, Bill got some very good shots in at Dani. He won that face-off. -- June is just a ball of cliches and stereotypes to this point. I hope this goes somewhere. -- Martin flies off the handle much too easily, but I did appreciate that he grew calm and subdued, and even sad, with Ted. -- I'm glad Tomas is pretty, because damn, that acting. -- I'm glad Derek looks so good in tight jeans, because damn, that acting. -- LMAO at Leslie gaining entrance to Nicole's house because Nicole wanted the front door ajar so Door Dash could leave her takeout.
