Members prefab1 Posted February 14, 2021 Members Share Posted February 14, 2021 See, maybe it was because I had incredibly low expectations going into those scenes, but I didn't actually hate them. I thought RSW was really making an effort to give inflection and meaning to those Shakespearean lines, which is something he doesn't always do with the blandly expository dialogue he's given on DAYS. In fact, it was a disappointment when I got to Friday's episode and Ben was back robotically reciting lines like, "Claire, I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure Ciara was having the same dream at the very same time." I'd actually prefer if, from now on, they could just have Ben recite various Shakespeare lines instead: "Claire, we are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep... To sleep – to sleep – perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause.’" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted February 14, 2021 Members Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Back when Jan held up Shawn in the cage I swear I remember there was a moment when Shawn begged Jan to not let wet himself again.

Members prefab1 Posted February 14, 2021 Members Share Posted February 14, 2021 Wow. I knew that JER's writing had become crappy by the early 2000s. But I didn't mean it so literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 14, 2021 Members Share Posted February 14, 2021 The thing about Ciara and Ben is I buy they are soulmates. I don't even like them much, but I do think they are very much in love. VK and RSW have good chemistry. I just don't need to be hit over the head with their psychic connection. They are never going to be Bo/Hope or John/Marlena. I don't think they have ever even had an argument lol. I fully accept them as a decent young pairing (even with him being a serial killer), but I get irritated about them being portrayed as the greatest love of all time. I think if Ron scaled back on all that crap, a lot of people would like Cin more. I would like Cin more. I think Ron is squandering one of the few new(er) pairings with genuine chemistry to play something that isn't there instead of letting the chemistry flow organically.

Members koos Posted February 15, 2021 Members Share Posted February 15, 2021 I don't remember those moments, but the thing that stuck with me the most out of JER's 2003-2004 run was a big tree stump randomly bleeding while John and Marlena were near it. I hope that scene is on YouTube somewhere just so I know I didn't imagine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members irishguy1985 Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Did we actually see the scenes of Allie apologizing to Tripp? I feel like that was a missed opportunity or they were edited out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Watching yesterday's episode and wow Charlie really is a damn monster. Just the way he lies. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Oh I definitely flashed back to that while watching this current low-budget version of Lady In A Cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Gotta say, Linda Dano is doing a better job as Vivian. I did see some of the bitchiness that the role requires in these last few episodes. I'm kind of interested to see Orpheus back on canvas, but honestly, I have no idea why he does the things he does now. What's the reason for him wanting to take Ciara hostage? And I am really liking Eric Martsolf's Dad bod Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Lol at that plunging neckline. I hate when lookalikes/twins switch places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have mixed feelings about this too. I'm glad that Susan is moving the plots along, but if she's going to be gone in a month or whatever, I don't really see the point in having her be the one to do it. I'd rather characters who stick around be the ones to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 lol! i forgot about that lol right!? That's a good point. There was effort made. And then it was back to Stone Cold The #DAYS Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prefab1 Posted February 16, 2021 Members Share Posted February 16, 2021 Only DAYS, with its Dick Tracy rogues' gallery worth of criminals, could make an episode that cut back and forth between three separate sets of characters in either prison or police custody. (Plus, a guy who's in the hospital after being shot by a completely unrelated set of criminals. And finally, a serial killer who was formerly on death row).
