Days of Our Lives: September 2021 Discussion Thread

The last time I remember any real investment in Phillip or Chloe was in the Sheffer run, when he talked up making the character dark and wounded again with JKJ finally back, dealing with his war injury and mixing things up with Belle, a newly vixen-ish Chloe, Shawn, etc.

That lasted about 8 minutes before everyone involved BTS was fired and it went sideways, and ever since then Phillip, Chloe, Shawn and Belle have all been welfare characters rotating in and out of employment by the show nonstop with storylines and romances that never go anywhere. I couldn't tell you a single thing any of them have done in the last 10+ years or more, except that poor Chloe was demeaned over and over and over and yet keeps being fired then rehired. Like sands through the hourglass, so is Nadia Bjorlin's dressing room. And JKJ lost all luster long ago. He looks like a wax dummy.

I just think their personalities clashed. She didn't go into detail. I think she pretty much said he was full of himself and wasn't that great. 

 

I believe he also pulled the bad odor in mouth before kiss..

Yeah, Belle and Shawn feel like best friends who are married to each other. 

 

Lani/Shawn was so blink and you miss it. I forget about it lol.

 

Yeah, Shawn could be used better for sure. That's why I'd like to see a Shawn/Eli friendship. And Billy Flynn and Brandon Beemer seem friendly off-camera so a Shawn/Chad friendship could be interesting (and Belle is involved in DiMera plus they once hinted at Belle/Chad). And Sal/Marci Miller are close off screen and Abby and Lani could both really use friends ...

I think Kyle Brandt said he was kind of a dick back in the day too.  He's made some comments that make him seem very full of himself

I can't imagine MM being bitchy-not that I doubt you.  I wish some of that bitchiness would come off on screen.  That actually might make me like Belle more lol.

Belle/Shawn always seem so sexless in a way most couples, even bad ones, don't.  Jarlena still act like they want to get it on every night. Even Doug/Julie seem passionate lol.  I believe they love one another, but there is zero passion and they do seem like best buds.  I know BB and MM can do passion because BB did it on B&B and MM had it with JKJ.  It's a shame because it's too late to recast now and we are just stuck with them unless KS and JC randomly decided they want to come back one day.

I think Shawn/Brady should at least be friends.  They are in laws and he could be pro-Brady in the war over Chloe since apparently Belle hates her brother and is pro-Phillip.

    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
