Yes,guarantees are an issue, but there have been instances when characters have been in the same episode and the opportunity to have them interact has not been used. I realize that scenes are taped on different days, but the desire to highlight family ties seems to be lacking

All of it was accurate though ...

 

And DAYS totally wasted Sarah Brown and Ian Buchanan. So much potential there. DAYS wastes a lot of "big" hires ... Ian as Stefano's brother would have been great.

 

That's very true. It does seem to be lacking. I think many times it's an afterthought. Also the taping on separate days doesn't help in situations like that when characters in the same scene or episode should interact but they don't. They just don't take the time for interactions like they once did.

 

It's not really one issue to blame, it's a variety of things that lead to the problems the show has that they can't seem to find a way out of  (that's if they even try to get out of the rut they've been in)

Considering they can't even have a single conversation about a new character's history? (I'm looking at you, Stefan O...) I have very little hope. 

The only successful (relatively) "new" family has been the reintroduction of the Grants, but even then, it's been kinda shakey, thanks to Dena's stupid intro story for Valerie and Eli killing David off out of nowhere offscreen.

I quite liked Brady and Madison. I think DAYS fans did not know what to make of a business storyline where - initially, anyway - the characters acted like and spoke as professionals, not catfighting or mind controlling each other with fillings. Even Sami seemed to be changing.

I actually liked Brady/Madison. I felt was one of his strongest pairings besides Theresa later on. It was refreshing to see him with someone other than Nicole and Chloe--two pairings I found to be extremely toxic. 

 

 

I found it to be refreshing too. I felt around that time that DAYS was finally gonna stray from campy and go back to being the norm which it once was; however, they sadly went back to being a campy, sci-fi mess. 

 

I would've love to see DAYS be a career driven soap seeing as 90% of the people on this cast rarely go to work unless they work for Salem PD or Salem University Hospital.

I also loved Nicole's burgeoning role at that time, as E.J.'s campaign manager or whatever. It was a smart fit for her. Then they dumped her back into baby crap IIRC - or was that before? - and from there nothing was the same. Nicole got beyond played out.

That might've been before... I can't remember b/c I found all of Nicole's stories to be repetitive duds. After Nicole got tossed into Brady's orbit the first time, I felt the character fell off. 

 

Nicole was at her best when she was a scheming, hot mess. I could not take her having constant baby fever and thirsting after peen that didn't want her (EJ, Brady, Daniel...). 

 

I feel like when DAYS got that little reboot, the show looked like it was gonna get back on track but they didn't. The show is WAY better now. I just don't care for Ron doing the usual and doing yet another lazy DID story for sh-ts and giggles.

I remember a lot of hype over Nicole and EJ dancing a tango and then not all that long after EJ and Sami were rutting on the library sofa because their son was "dead" (AKA hidden under a table) and Chandler Massey was shout-acting 5000 variations of "whore."

I don't remember them acting as professionals. If they did it must not have lasted long. I remember Madison waking up on the office floor naked with Brady next to her, thinking they slept together, but turned out Brady was just joking with her by undressing both of them like a creep.

    • Yikes -a Cane/Phyllis sex scene. Why was there no warning before this episode aired? And of course Phyllis had sex with her bra on.  Had to laugh when Cane, trying to think of Phyllis' password to sneak into her laptop, talks out loud so we (and she) can be clued into what's happening. What is Phyllis' financial standing? At one point she was wealthy enough to run a hotel-which she gave up in an instant(can't remember why-some inane reason) Now she's scrounging around for a job with Cane. The many residents of the GCAC who are living in hotel rooms don't seem to do anything to personalize their space-no photos, books etc. The GCAC must have a strict policy on that. Nikki did look good today. Still find her hairstyle a little dowdy though. 
    • Then 87 is the year you're looking for. Vanessa leaves town in Jan 88. When I saw Jenny counseling Dinah about George making the pass at her, all I could think was that Van would be pissed Ross' latest fling was advising her daughter. Cop or not. 
    • As much as I hate Phyllis, seeing Billy Flynn in those boxers briefs in today's episode, has me almost tolerating her. BF looks

    • Dear sweet June, you'll get it right eventually.  In the meantime it's a good chuckle.

    • Damn, Leslie went in on Shanice... poor girl! Leslie really can't handle stress or certain emotions well, she lashes out. I also think it's weird she wants to know so many details about Eva's love/sex life. Vernon was sweet to June. It was nice (realistic) to see a customer complain to her though while she's still trying to establish herself. I'll be that guy, but for me personally, my enthusiam/excitement over the show has stalled yet again over the last couple weeks. For the majority, it seems like we're in a holding pattern until Winterfest. It's like they don't want to rock the boat or do much until then, which leaves us in a quiet period here. Are sweeps a thing still these days? Seems odd that we're having a slow November. That ending was good, but I saw that coming... in theory it should have a quick resolution, but I'm guessing Leslie will expose it at Winterfest and it'll get throw out of proportion haha.
    • Yes. Why? I don't really care. Vanessa is also acting dumb, trying to run between tables, on a date with Ross in one room and a business meeting with Alan in another.  One of the few times Van is written as less than the smart woman she was. 
    • I've been specifically looking for the episodes for Ross and Van together, because they essentially both raise Dinah at that period and the recaps around her typically avoid the Dorie years, the carnies, or Alan-Michael and Cam. I'm really just trying to trace a throughline between Paige, Wendy, and Gina. The last two are "easy," but it just messes with my timeline when Dinah thinks Alan-Michael would kill Ross. Then again, that Alan-Michael slept with his own stepdaughter, so...
    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
