Days of Our Lives: October 2021 Discussion Thread

They have forgotten how to write characters with an edge to them without making them rapists and murders.

Today's episode was pure filler. There wasn't any movement in any story. Its a wasted episode. The best part was seeing EJ in the priest costume.

Marlena in her devil costume was hilarious. Could they have found a cheaper Party City wig for her though? Thank god Belle was FINALLY on. She should be all over this possession storyline, yet today was the first time we've seen her in ages. I have to say that I hate the devil voice.

Abby wants to look through Dr. Snyder's office. Huh? It's been like four months since he died. Surely his office has been cleaned out and given to someone else by now. Also, Chad and Abby need to start locking their bedroom door. EJ just strolls right in and sits on the bed while they're making out, LMAO! EJ driving Chad crazy is hilarious to me.

EJ practicing his eyebrow acting was hilarious.

Poor Tripp doesn't even get to be included in the Ouija board scenes. He must've been busy embroidering another blanket. He is truly just an afterthought. This is really a triangle with Chanel and the twins.

Father EJ is mine!

I have the sudden urge to go to confession after today

Agreed.  I enjoy his ridiculous commitment to this movie part lol.  I don't think this episode was entirely filler.  We found out John was in the crypt, Johnny and Allie are going to investigate, and Belle was suspicious of Marlena.  Everything else was boring though.

It was nice to see Belle again.  I feel like it's been months.

I liked Marlena "sexy" devil costume with red lipstick and wig, but still a pantsuit underneath.  Is 75 year old Marlena just going to walk around town in costume just because?  Whoever said we needed a party or an event for this is right. 

I like John stuck at the Dimera crypt.  But it takes me out of kidnappings when I have no idea how John is going to eat or pee.

MarDevil wig came from Dollar Tree. 

How no one can figure out that's not Marlena is beyond me.

The Chad/Abby/Father EJ

It was about halfway through the episode, but it was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. EJ was on the couch looking at his script and was like, "I gotta work on that eyebrow thing," did an eyebrow raise, and then Abby walked in. It was awesome. I also appreciate that DF made an attempt at emulating Drake's gravelly voice when he called Abby "my precious Marlena" at the beginning of the episode. Now I want to see EJ playing John just so I can hear more of his Drake Hogestyn voice (plus the priest outfit).

I'm currently trying to figure out what I enjoyed about this show before DF came along.

*quiet voice and low eyes, as befitting someone late to the party*

I'll take Lucas Adams, please.

This is turning into the Berlin Conference of Days of Our Lives Hunks.

Xander and Brady are still up for grabs!

[NEWMANJABOT]

I guess the writers ran out of storyline and revamped the Marlena possessed storyline. How original!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KirkB]

I will take BF ass if that's still available for the taking.

[AbcNbc247]

Have to admit, the eyebrow acting made me chuckle a little bit too.

I had a feeling that DF (and Josh Swickard too) were yours
