Days: August 2018 Discussion Thread

Ten years ago possible, now I do not think so

[Winchester91]

I get it; she loves John now, but she loves Will too and she literally turned a psycho loose on him.  Sami isn't above her own unhinged behaviour. 

[John]

Well I wish Eric would take responsibility for redirecting that gun

Very well said. 

 

Something seemed to change with the soaps after OJ. It's like they became desperate and just started writing nonsense. I'm making it more basic than it was, but there's a clear shift.

 

I also think the switch from how they used to film the shows to now makes them look really cheap. They looked like actual shows with a budget the other way. I don't get why they switched.

 

Sami does things first and thinks about them later. She's a "hot mess" as the kids call it

 I think Ron has Sami pretty in-character.

 

It's also clear the Belle/Sami slap and confrontation was likely planned for Carrie and Sami. The way some of it was worded all I could picture was Carrie lighting into Sami. (They wanted Christie/Carrie there but she was traveling the world with her family)

 

What I like about Ron is that he wasn't a "true fan" of DAYS before. It sort of worked against him at first as he got his bearings, but I feel a change. I think he gets the show. He seems to get Kristen and Sami. I've loved Kristen's dialogue. I'm mixed on Stacy playing Kristen but she has totally won me over as Susan and I want her to stay in that role. Eileen needs to be Kristen. Not saying Stacy isn't doing great. She's a great recast!

 

Back to my point, Ron doesn't really have any character biases (though he seems especially fond of Sami, Kristen/Susan and Marlena and I'd guess Kate since she keeps getting story after story). I don't feel like I did with Higley and Tomsell where they were almost writing against what the show should be. They had their biases and agendas. I don't feel the same with Ron and Sheri and Ryan. It's nice. I'm not saying the show is perfect. It's not. But I feel comfortable with the hands it is in.

Catching up on episodes and I am on last Thursday episode...and Chandler Massey in one hot hunk!  

 

Can Sonny drink himself into oblivion? Gawd...how annoying....

[Soapsuds]

Out of all the things Chandler's Will would remember is his non wedding to Sonny.....ugh.......the wedding that never happened.....didn't move me at all since it didn't happen and I don't want Will with Sonny.

[Soapsuds]

Chandler should've had a Kassie D. moment a la Mia Korf....

I loved it.

 

I'm not really feeling SH as Kristen. She was fine as Susan but nobody can play Kristen except Eileen.

 

I love that Marlena is being taken to surgery while still in full makeup.

And not a single hair out of place. 

 

I also love the entire family got about 15 to talk to a woman who needed to be in surgery immediately in the middle of the hospital waiting room

[KMan101]

 

LOL. But that's soaps for you. All the soaps do this or have done it. It's always been so unrealistic but it's a soap. lol.

 

I haven't watched the last two days, just because I'm saving them up for a binge. I read a recap and comments of yesterday and it sounds a bit of a mess. Who wrote the dialogue? 

[victoria foxton]

I noticed Marlena didn't have an IV drip.

[Khan]

Wow, DAYS doesn't have enough money even for a fake IV drip!

[carolineg]

 

I don't think the dialogue was that bad.  John, Sami, and Will were all decent.  Belle was awful, but even Kristen wasn't bad.

 

All the money was spent on Dee Hall's perfect hair and makeup.

[KMan101]

 

That's good. Just saw mixed reactions and it seemed maybe the episode didn't flow very well. I'll have to watch

And  at the last part

 

All the money went to pay Sweeney
