Days of Our Lives: October 2021 Discussion Thread

I think JKJ is looking a lot better these past couple of weeks now that they're doing something different with his hair (it's slicked back which I hate on anyone, but it's still an improvement). He was looking... not good for a while. Nadia looks like she's gotten lip injections, which is totally unnecessary. She's still one of the most gorgeous women on the planet though. I don't understand how EM is 50, he's doesn't look it at all and is super hot still. I normally wouldn't thirst over a guy who's old enough to be my dad, but damn lol. Unfortunately Brady hasn't done anything interesting in ages (neither have Philip or Chloe). I'm beyond over their triangle.

Yes, EM being some of the longtime posters' actual median age should never prevent him from being lusted after.

The flashbacks have done neither Nadia nor JKJ favors!

The only problem I've had with Eric Martsolf ever being on the show is that with his casting they aged Brady way too much. I know this is DAYS, but I'm still going to hate every individual SORAS'ing blunder no matter what level of asinine, with EJ obviously being the stupidest.

They all look so rough. Imagine Storms and/or Cook returning... I presume they still look fresh, since they did a couple years back. It would look really glaring. Martsolf looks better than a few years ago when he too was starting to look used up.

Poor JKJ looks skeletal. Jason Cook looked great a few years ago, but anyone who watches GH knows Kirsten has needed to be off television and taking care of herself for most of the last ten years.

I think this ship sailed long ago though, starting with them hyper-aging Shawn and Belle for JC/KS to begin with. I never got over how they were toddlers when John and Marlena left on their honeymoon and teens when they came back.

But Brady is played out and unfortunately Chloe is heading that way too. They could use a rest. Maybe if there’s a Beyond Salem season 2, they could be part of it

Brady definitely feels played out. He's continuously driven story since Eric debuted, really. That's a long time and a LOT of relationships. LOL. 

 

I wouldn't say Chloe is played out. A stronger direction would help. More scenes with Belle and Shawn would help. Bringing on her sister would help. 

 

JKJ chews the scenery when Philip has to go all Investigation Discovery angry. The triangle has potential but it's all so flat and boring and feels like Philip doesn't stand a chance.

 

I think JKJ has aged fine. Nadia didn't need the injections.

 

Chloe/Brady/Philip writes itself so it shouldn't be so lackluster or feel like an afterthought.

 

Nobody expects them to de-age anyone.

 

Yep on Kirsten Storms.

JKJ looks like he's been on the bad drugs, or maybe just malnourished.

Too bad about Storms. She didn't look too bad from a casual glance, but maybe she just still looked youthful compared to Martha Madison. FWIW, I think Madison looks a lot better with hairstyles that she normally doesn't wear.

It's not expected, but they definitely do it from time to time.

Yeah, JKJ is very gaunt in the face. I have to admit I've wondered.

 

And yeah de-aging could happen with a recast, definitely. But they don't see Eric's Brady or Martha's Belle or Brandon's Shawn as a 'problem' like some on here do. I mean, look at Dan/EJ. It is what it is at this point lol even though the horrible SORASing bothers me

Martsolf looked amazing then and now. Brady is never going to be de-aged no matter who plays him, neither are most characters.

It's not a question of de-aging Shawn and Belle at this point. They have an adult child, and just like E.J. it is what it is; you can never roll it back. (Just like when Patricia Bruder ended up with grandchildren on ATWT like a decade after being a teen heroine, but that was in the really extreme days) The problem with Belle is the actor and the writing for decades, and Shawn is an afterthought no matter who is in the role.

    • Any fan of RuPaul would dispute calling any of these examples “drag”. A costume?, A disguise?, A lame attempt at humor? -- yes -- Drag? -- nope
    • No asterisk. I meant that the circumstances during the first year were in her favor.
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Are you suggesting that her success at GL should have an asterisk next to it because she was smart enough to exploit a weakness in the marketplace to gain ratings?  Note: Try not to take this personally—I’m not accusing anyone of being consciously misogynistic. I’m simply proposing that the origins of certain ideas about Ms. Phelps—such as claims that she was unprepared or a poor manager of her writing staff—may be rooted in misogyny. Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, it's worth reconsidering those opinions. At the very least, imagine being one of the few women in the room while a male network executive tries to decide what women want to watch during the day. That context has certainly led me to reassess many of my own long-held views.
    • Through 78 and 79 under Marland and Pat Falken smith GH was still heavily hospital based with a mix of storylines. The Doctors would have been fine had they followed that template. Once GH went with Ice Princess all bets were off.Who knows how much TD would have copied that direction? And OLTL, DOOL went in that direction quite heavily while other shows dabbled in far out stories. The thing is that TD was well set up for an expansion.

    • Aaron Spelling still had clout with ABC in Fall 1984, as I think they knew he was going to pull out all the stops for Dynasty to get to #1, which he did. That's probably why ABC kept Hotel as Dynasty lead out. Fall 1985 with the sale to Capital Cities and Brandon Stoddard arrival, Aaron Spelling would lose his clout with ABC.
    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
