Days: August 2019 discussion topic

I think people are acting appropriately skeeved out by Tony/Kristen now.  Whether it was Andre or not, people were not grossed out at all by the fact they got married in 1994 or 1995.  It was hardly mentioned but I always thought it was super creepy whether or not they were actually blood related.  It was just weird.  Weirder than John being a priest or devil possession? Probably not, but strange that it was played as a lovestory, at least on Tony/Andre's part.

Barash is really good as Stefan but give me a break on him and Gabi jumping each other's bones when they've just been kidnapped and fear for their lives. You mean to tell me Stefan can get it up when his sister could walk in any moment ready to kill them?

 

So much John and Marlena.

Well, Stefano did supposedly raise her (and Peter) so I assume they must've met when they were growing up at some point.

 

Honestly, DAYS works better when you just dip in and out of it occasionally - watching it daily is probably more of a chore. I enjoy dipping my toes in and then leaving the pool, so to speak. It's by no means good or smart writing, but the campiness works in small doses.

For some reason, pretty much every soap has pushed that non-biological family members falling in love/getting married trope at some point. Look at Tripp, Ciara and Claire. But you're right, I never understood why nobody, on any soap, ever raised an objection to it lol.

That's how I've been watching it lately. When people in the threads mention the climax of a story, I'll pop back in to see like I did for the mask reveal and then I wait for the next big Days event. I don't know if anything right now could get me to watch it daily.

Well, mask storylines are famous for dumming every character down a little and Brady’s not the sharpest pencil in the box already, but he did say he knew something was different 

 

The guy’s a little in love with love and that definitely clouds his judgement and intelligence lol

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
