Days of Our Lives: October 2021 Discussion Thread

Agreed.

 

Ron also was stupid being so short-sighted with Charlie.

 

Yep.

 

I miss Melissa Salmons sooooo much.

[AbcNbc247]

Oh what I’d give to have Mike Manning back on Days

Same. He was great. What a miss.

 

But under Ron at this point he'd be baking with Ava in Rafe's kitchen as they sing kumbaya ... so ...

 

He was smart to keep Evan alive and a psycho.

Yep.

It wasn’t just the looks, he was an amazing actor as well. 

I’m still hoping Corday pulls a Frank Valentini and hires him back as a different character, with no ties to Charlie

Charlie and his cute glasses could be causing all kinds of drama with Tripp and Allie but no. Let's kill him off and have Tripp sew instead while Allie plays homemaker. The family dynamics with Charlie/Tripp/Ava had so much potential. There was also a ton of potential for drama if Charlie decided he wanted to be a part of Henry's life. Sigh.

I mean, in a way it makes sense since she willingly let herself be possessed to save Doug. I guess the logical thing to do would be to run for an exorcist, but I assume she might be afraid the Devil would just possess Doug again? I agree they could make her motives clearer here.

This show has become one big bore. So many scenes are like taking an Ambien.

I love Judi Evans, but the Bonnie cry scenes are the worst. That needs to stop. Aside from the possession scenes with Marlena, there is nothing worth watching.

I agree. I love Judi Evans, but I'm soooo over Bonnie. It would be great to bring on another of Justin and Adrienne's sons too to mix things up.

With the uneven production and dog stories (Bonnie, Chloe), I have to binge the week. I tried streaming daily or even two episodes, doesn't work for me.

JE is an immensely skilled actor, but c'mon with this out-of-the-blue 'murder' followed by like 2 episodes in 6 weeks featuring her. There's no reason for Bonnie/Adrienne or Justin (Salem's worst lawyer) to be on.

Have EJ serve as the resident go-to lawyer - he'll get clients off and find a way to get something out of it. I still have no idea of the logic behind having EJ turn against Xander for something that wasn't his fault. That's just horrid writing, but I suspect it's production-related and blocking certain actors together.

[KMan101]

 

For me I'm finding binging is best but it's still hard to care about a lot of what's going on.

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah, as much as I love Wally and Judi, there really is no story for them at this point. Unless they bring back Sonny or Mimi, or bring in their other kids, I would say maybe rest them for a little while. Have them get married and go off together.

[Skylover]

Has Maggie had a facelift or something? She's looking very plastic at the moment.

[KMan101]

 

Yep. I feel like Ron's keeping them in the off-chance they do bring on Sonny or Mimi. But at the same time, I do think it's time to rest them. This should have been that opportunity to send them off. I actually thought they were.

 

I'd have Mimi back personally for the Phloe/Brady triangle instead of Kristen being wasted on them (sometimes I wonder if Ron thinks similarly but then can't pull it off so we get weaker stories as a result). But I don't see them making the effort to recast Mimi for the main show. It's likely Farah or nobody.

That would be better to see I guess.

I like Kristen, and both of her portrayers but part of me does hope that

will be the final one for the character

It's probably comes from her recent injuries

[KMan101]

 

I feel like we need another DiMera daughter to stir up trouble. Kristen definitely needs a rest. I maybe wouldn't feel like that if we didn't have such a mess of a 'redemption' for her that ultimately meant nothing.

 

It's very male heavy. Tony, EJ, Chad, Jake. And then their ladies, of course. But still. I miss you Lexie!

 

Paging Sydney DiMera ...
