Antoyne Report post Posted July 16 I actually felt really bad for both Sami and Gabi today. I never once considered a twin for Stefan so I was actually shocked. But at least Jake doesn’t come with the raping Abby baggage. I never got over that. I will never tire of Sami vs. Nicole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapsuds Report post Posted July 16 Jake being a twin was so predictable and yawn worthy. And it was a cliffhanger no less 👎. Sami returning again to disrupt a wedding has also gotten tidious. Nicole and Eric getting married at the pub?😂 just terrible Cancel this mess.... Oh it was great seeing Ivan reconnect with his madame. For some reason I find the actor who plays Ivan hot. It must be his voice...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLATWT88 Report post Posted July 16 (edited) I wasn't too into the twin idea. Sometimes I feel like Days tries to go over the top and it comes across as laughable more than interesting. When it was being explained that Jake was a twin, it felt so anticlimactic. It was great seeing Sami. I'm still not sold on the actress playing Abby as much as some of you. I have however grown to like her a bit more. Edited July 16 by GLATWT88 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more surprised Sorel was able to not roll her eyes as Vivian acted stupid not knowing about Jake being a twin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but I'm taking the positive approach here - at least it's not another one "back from the dead". The serum and reviving dead characters need to die - if it takes convulted twin stories to do that, I'm all for it! I agree that I don't think the actress is that great - yet - however she is showing a lot of potential which is the key here I guess. I could see her being one of those that improves with time and I think her and Sami's (brief) scenes sold her as her daughter. She needs to grow, but she has that potential. Overall I'll say DAYS is usually good with filling these younger actor parts... they're just not good with keeping them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But at this point Rolf resurrecting everyone with his serum is so played out. Sami was the only bright spot. In that dull and piss poor wedding. I didn't like Ericole getting married at the pub either. But at least they didn't marry at that damn HTS. Ivan's a very attractive man. It's good to see Ivan reunited with his beloved Madame.

Soapsuds Report post Posted July 17 (edited) @victoria foxton The twin route is also played out. I've seen it a lot on soap operas. They did it on ATWT with Iva and Rose and I hated it. It's lazy a$$ writing. Edited July 17 by Soapsuds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antoyne Report post Posted July 17 I really enjoyed the Lucas/Sami/Allie scenes today. For some reason it wasn’t registering to me that Will and Allie actually share both parents and weren’t half siblings even though I actually knew it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger1rg Report post Posted July 17 I think the actress playing Allie is terrific. Honestly, i don’t see how they could have cast the role any better. The wedding was fine. Cliche? Yeah, but then Sami got there and did her thing. Drake’s facial expressions never disappoint. Love it when the terrible actor in him comes out. Jake as a twin? Predictable but acceptable. Barash gets to play a different character and seems to enjoy it. Let’s see where it goes. Will and Sonny are SO bad. They should both turn in their gay cards for being useless, boring, and hopeless. Sonny’s big dumpy suits look like they smell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they have the sense to keep her (and hopefully keep Lucas around more). While Jake and the twin thing isn't the most exciting it's a nice change of pace to have someone NOT come back from the dead. People dying on DAYS had no stakes for the viewer or the story for so long now because you know Dr. Rolf's serum will just bring them back. Dr. Rolf and his serum need to disappear...permanently!

FrenchBug82 Report post Posted July 17 Count me in as one of those unimpressed with that twin thing. Soooo overdone in soaps. I mean, anyone could have told them that BB was popular and worth keeping when they killed him off in the first place. Couldn't they have found a way to keep the door open then, like they had done with Patch back in the day? Just in case? I hate when soaps don't think beyond the tip of their nose and have to rely on incredibly tedious soap cliches to keep bringing characters back they didn't to get rid of in the first place. CM and FS had mentioned the writing was pretty awful for them in the leadup to their surprise dismissal and we can clearly see the writers just don't know what to do with them. As much as I think they belong on the show broadly speaking, maybe writing them out is best for everyone because yeesh this is bad. A bit like how I feel about Carrie. I like Carrie very much, she *should* be in Salem in theory but every time she is on the show the writers don't seem to know what to write for her and how to make her interesting. Makes me sad that the same thing is happening with a talent like CM but maybe he is better off in other projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny’s big dumpy suits look like they smell. Will and Sonny seem like they've been together for 60 plus years. They were so boring yesterday. Lol at your Sonny suit comment! I agree!😂 Sonny and the suit reminds me of the GG episode where Dorothy goes to a ballgame with Sophia and Stan. She mentions how she hates going to baseball games because she always gets stuck with a fat guy taking off his sweaty shirt sitting next to her..lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soapsuds Report post Posted July 17 And I had to laugh at Sami's comment after learning Will and Sonny wanted to adopt Allie baby. I'm paraphrasing because I deleted the recording already Sami: Will and Sonny are great parents/fathers. Me: In what planet are they? Gabi and Will have been awful parents.
