Days: October 2020 Discussion Thread

[te.]

I'm starting to watch these post-covid episodes and for the DAYS budget, I'm sort of impressed - I noticed that they're trying to play with shadows a lot more and camera angles and not pushing dolls on actors. It's sad that we have such a low standard but there it is.

 

Correction: I was initially impressed and then it just got lazy and weird. Oh WELL.

They were finally starting to conceal the lack of funds pre-shutdown. I was almost thinking that they had a budget increase.

Loved Lucas telling Kate today about Allie's rape and her instantly going into Grandma Bear Mode.

 

I will never get over Marlena talking about Christian being a murderer and trying to get Will, when she's the champion defender of the guy that actually murdered Will. It's one of the major writing flaws that will never not annoy me.

Lucas and Kate have always been great together. I used to hate them both so much when I was little, but over the years they've grown on me lol to the point where I look forward to watching episodes with the two of them.

 

They deserve to be on the show. I'm glad Lucas is going to be sticking around for a while.

What we’re watching now are new episodes right? Cause it doesn’t look like Days does any social distancing at all. Which I’m kinda okay with because it looks so awkward on Y&R

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah. The whole reason for this blackout storyline was to get the show back on schedule after the shutdown.

 

There are some differences in these episodes though. There are no background extras at the hospital, or the police station or HTS, and there was some distancing, just not so much that it looked obvious and awkward.

Kate's blue streak is back in force hard. That's all I took out of these episodes lol. Jarlena vs. Orpheus is kinda dull at this point. 

Also kayla's womb for a Stefano clone?  Wtf?

I agree. This social distancing is not noticeable at all.

 

The distancing on Y&R and B&B is awkward as hell. Today on Y&R, Chance sees Abby at the end and doesn’t hug her let alone kiss her??? They stay 6 feet apart??? It doesn’t work. The writers would’ve been better off with a phone call between them.

This is why Days probably stopped production. Wasn't there positive cases or am I wrong?

There was a crew member that tested postive, not a cast member.

I can notice it sometimes, but Corday did say that a lot would depend on the comfortability of the scene partners essentially. I haven't watched all week, but the Chad / Abby scenes it was sort of noticeable when they were in their bedroom with very little touching. But I think it helps they haven't done with Y&R/B&B has and attempted to do many love scenes.

It really does. We shouldn't even notice certain things but we do. LOL

 

Doesn't Lauren Koslow add that blue streak when she's unhappy with the story? I can't recall ... @DaytimeFan do you know?

[AbcNbc247]

Well, at least Kayla mentioned that today lol I think it's time for the character of Rolf to be rested. Hopefully, this return was only temporary.

[carolineg]

She must be really unhappy because this streak takes up half her hair.  Does she even have a story right now lol?

Rolf should be rested. Hes not viable without Stefano

Say what you will about Days, but I'm pretty sure it's the only show on television where you'll see a sixty-something woman using her sex appeal as a bargaining chip to get her great-grandson back from her babysnatching escaped convict ex-boyfriend. And also the only genre where you'll see her reach into her purse for a pacifier, then pull out a gun and shoot him. While still carrying the baby in her other hand.
