Members AlexElizabeth Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Sarah's hair is horrible, but I did like her telling sanctimonious Eric that she enjoyed every minute of banging Xandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Poor Sarah has been all over the place since she appeared. I'm not sure what the long-term plan could be for this character. It's a disappointment because I do think the actress is good and the character is a legacy one.

Members ranger1rg Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I agree. Your take sounds a lot better to me. Unless DAYS returns to this and they do have sex, this is taking the easy way out. I also cringed when Xander told Leo "You'd hate the idea of kissing a girl, wouldn't you?"

Members pdm1974 Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I agree...it was the easy way out. Why even go there if you weren't going to go THERE? I have enjoyed Xander in general. He can run around in nothing but those jogging shorts every episode as far as I'm concerned. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 First, I was disappointed in how Leo appeared to be pressuring Xander into having sex; then, I was disappointed that DAYS seemingly took the easy way out with this "drugged champagne" bit. I don't know, this story's got me all over the place, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 That's why I haven't seen the last 6 episodes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Checking out the show again because I felt like watching at least one soap again. The innuendo was hilarious when Leo felt the champagne bottle and was all "someone is awake" lol. Other the Leo/Xander scenes I liked when Eve called Jennifer a school marm which describes that character perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think if Xander had not felt conflicted about sleeping with Leo -- if, in fact, he had been willing to do whatever it took to get whatever he wanted -- and then actually did it, I might have received the storyline a bit better than I have. To me, that's more progressive than writing innuendos with bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 +1 And Xander seems like the type of guy who would do ANYTHING to get what he wanted...even Leo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 But, if I were writing the show, the twist would be that afterward, Xander is up for having sex again with Leo, but Leo is resistant, because, for all that beefcake, Xander is actually a bad lay.

Members SFK Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, I wasn't sure how I felt about the Xander / Leo stuff. For all of the cuddly cableknit gays of our lives, a Leo comes along and the ignorant will run with this depiction of a slimey sex-crazed homo. Then there's the whole trade/gay for pay phenomenon which is very real, and there are plenty of narcissists like Xander who comprise that demo, and yet... I don't know if this show is daring enough to "jeopardize" even a peripheral character like Xander by letting him sleep with a man. If they ever want to up this guy's role and make him a hetero lead, he will always be dogged by that big slice of the fandom who will disparage him for being "GAY! Please register in order to view this content " because they can't wrap their minds around the intricacies of sexuality. It's like they'd have to make him repent for any gay past.

Members Gray Bunny Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 :::shrug::: I’d hate it too. Much less putting my body part into one of their orifices. Besides, Xander isn’t getting money. He’s getting information that may or may not be helpful to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I wonder. Somehow Adam’s transactional sex with Rafe on Y&R didn’t hurt his leading man prospects. Although they didn’t camp up the story as much as DAYS is currently doing. Also Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Adam/Rafe plot point wasn't really a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 It wasn’t, but homophobic viewers could have still conceivably held that experience against him. Of course, they had Heather punish him, and it was buried within all of the other heinous stuff Adam did before Sharon “rescued” him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
