Days: October 2020 Discussion Thread

Yes. A little bit of a piss poor way to write them out, but I accepted it. At least they got an exit storyline, as opposed to Hope.

Wild theory, but I'm guessing that this is how the show is going to bring back Ava Vitale from the dead.

What was Hope's last scene?

[carolineg]

 

Hope lying on the floor looking at Ciara's picture.  Shawn and Hope found evidence that "proves" Ciara is dead and Hope accepted it and was mourning.  I guess she'll leave town off screen. I was half expecting her final scene to be at the HTS talking to Eli or something.

Yeah, I was fine with it too. At least they weren't just ... gone. LOL. But in Rafe's case I wouldn't have cared if he did just vanish. And they did bring back A Martinez to write out Galen and Camila. It was rushed but not the worst ever, lol.

That's unfortunate, but at least Hope has a reason to leave town I guess (to mourn for Ciara). I guess we'll see if it sticks.

I didn't mind the Rafe and Gabi part (though it made the whole Jake introduction pointless), but I thought it was quick and silly how Eric had one conversation with a woman from his Africa life and BOOM it's time to go back to Africa and Nicole is all gung-ho for it. C'mon... 

[AbcNbc247]

Interesting.

 

I never thought of linking Philip to Ava. It does make sense for the two of them to be involved in a money laundering scheme. Ava could have taken over her family's crime organization while she was "dead"

[te.]

It just struck me how they're going to shoot the anniversary since that's obviously the plan with "Jennifer woke up from a coma" party.

[AbcNbc247]

Finally, they're running a DNA test on Baby Henry. I knew they were going to do that soon. It may have been a few weeks in real time, but in Salem time it was only one day since Allie first reported the rape.

 

I wonder if Philip is actually going to fall in love with Sarah. They seemed to have some good chemistry in their scenes today

[Antoyne]

You know what I forgot it's literally only been like a day since the rape was reported. Tripp not wanting to take the DNA test is so stupid.

[AbcNbc247]

They got to drag it out somehow. I'm curious to see how he's going to react when he finds out that Kayla did it without his permission Would it even be admissible in court?

[AbcNbc247]

Not that I thought it was bad, but today's episode seemed a little off.

 

Jack and new Jen were only in it for like 30 seconds and the blackout seemed to come on so quickly. There was no buildup with Clyde and Orpheus whatsoever. And why would John be so alright with Marlena going out by herself during a blackout? I know Ron and everybody were under the gun with scheduling and everything but I think that they could have done more. Plus, we didn't need to rehash the three escaped prisoners again. If there had to be a blackout, it should have been more like the one JER wrote in 1994. Not an escaped prisoner in sight lol

 

Luckily, when it comes to post shutdown filming, the show looks more like GH then B&B. But how were Chad and Abigail able to actually kiss?

[MichaelGL]

Yup it feels like a totally different show, disjointed between pre-Covid shutdown and post Covid shutdown. Hopefully things smooth out in the next few days or weeks as I was enjoying the show with the material shot before the shutdown.

[DynamiteKiddo]

Today was random, definitely.  But I liked it, except for Marlena/Ben.  There was an effective foreboding mood and I liked how DiMansion was filmed.  I'm so into Jake/Gwen/Chad/Abby, I really hope it doesn't get old too fast.  I was hoping for more Cady--weird how they paid her & Matt for only one act of the episode . . . I wonder if stuff got cut?
