Days of Our Lives: September 2021 Discussion Thread

This is the same reaction daily viewers of the show had, lol. Calista is Bonnie's never-mentioned former sister-in-law who came to Salem to get revenge on Bonnie for killing her husband, Harrison. The whole silly back story was told in yesterday's newly-created flashbacks. Riveting stuff. So yes, these characters are named Calista Lockhart and Harrison Lord. Hilarious, right? Calista was thankfully killed off after a week of being on the show. A totally random and pointless storyline.

I understand the show wanting to give Justin a crisis of faith in Bonnie, and Patch of all people taking her side after initially resenting her months ago, but the show should have went about it in a different way. This story is atrocious and lazy.

It actually was.

 

She really won me over in her return to the role, and it helped that they wrote her in character as they would Kate's Abby, and she proved more than capable to me. I'm happy with either her or Kate in the role. 

 

I do think it speaks to Freddie's podcast a bit that sometimes writing and direction CAN matter. But he made a lot of poor choices. I think it shows a bit with Marci. The writing was awful for Abby and Marci played it like Abby was on downers. When they wrote the character more like she was and less ... bad ... Miller rose to the occasion.

I feel like I've seen this Brady/Chloe/Phillip story a thousand times. All of these characters need to go in a different direction...and without each other.

[MichaelGL]

The show is filled with old, stale stories, that are a rehash of the not so distant past. The only thing that is new and fresh is Johnny/Allie/Trip/Chanel.

The shame is all the characters and actors have a rich history and had great chemistry especially JkJ/NB.  A lot of it is the writing (I can tell Ron barely cares about this story), but the actors just aren't sparking like they used to.  Plus, I feel like Brady and Phillip are treating Chloe like a possession they get to have instead of someone they love.

[Faulkner]

The show is just terrible. Did they shoot their creative wad on the spinoff?

[Soapsuds]

It really is.

I don't care for Abby return. Chad is so dull on the main show. Everything sucks on the main show.

[carolineg]

Can you imagine watching the spinoff and trying out the main show and this is what you get to see?  Talk about a loss of momentum.

[victoria foxton]

Yup! That's why i expect. The poor man's version of the possession redux to be a hot mess. 

@Soapsuds Will makes a guest appearance on today's episode.

He's in the spoilers for today's episode. 

"Johnny contacts Will about his film project" 

I wasn't sure if he'd appear. It's unfortunate it's the cheap zoom mess. You'd think they would've taped these scenes during his time filming beyond Salem.

Hopefully this means Zack Tinker isn't far behind

Come on Days!

[pdm1974]

I so hope they realize that Zach Tinker would be an awesome addition...even with or without Will (Although, I'd like Will to return full-time, too). 

[wingwalker]

I watched today's episode. First time watching DAYS in over a year, mostly for Will.  Even though I don't really know what's going on, I actually thought it was a fairly decent episode. 

Will was in it more than I expected. I figured we'd get 1 scene, and we got at least 3. Johnny asking Will if he did anything fun this summer and Will only mentioning a trip and not mentioning doing drag made me chuckle. I know why (this was filmed before Beyond Salem), but I laughed nonetheless.

Doug locking people in freezers, grabbing people's asses...I might have to keep watching just to see what's going on with him.

Doug touching Paulina's butt was funny.
