It was on Dishin Days where Ron appeared and said the idea of revisiting the possession story was Corday idea. Corday came to him and suggested it.

At least it's an umbrella plot involving most of the cast. The context is flimsy and rushed but isn't that what makes the show "Days". An umbrella plot involving the cast and having fun along the ride. Some of them are being left behind though in the writing. Yikes ... It WOULD ultimately work better as a whole on Peacock though. Absolutely.

That's pretty great idea.  At the very least it would account for the fact that there never seems to be long term consequences from these wacky types of stories. I mean who would continue to use Marlena as a psychiatrist after she's been possessed twice?

Ben?  The same people that continue to use her as a shrink after she fake murdered half the town lol?  I think there have been ethical questions about Marlena's psychiatric abilities since the 80's at least, so I doubt people will ever stop going to see her lol.  I have always wondered how she had any sort of consistency with her patients when she was kidnapped every 6 months in the 90's or the fact that her husband is her #1 patient, but it seems she is the only game in town for mental health.

Just watched Wednesday's episode and all I can say is WTF?!

Nicole kills zombie Deimos, and Rafe finds a dead body in his kitchen, so naturally, they... have sex?! HUH?! If Rafe/Nicole actually had fans, I bet they'd be pissed! What a bizarre buildup to two people finally having sex. They really talked about Duke before they f-cked, too. Galen doesn't have chemistry with anyone, sorry not sorry.

Same with Allie and Tripp. Allie gets tortured by a zombie version of her rapist, and Tripp kills him with a frying pan. They immediately start making out. WHAT?

The stuff with Gabi and Jake in the cemetery was awful!

Cin used to be a good couple.

Now they are obsessed with having a kid. And, probably pregnant.

Also, for Christsake. It’s 2021 can a freaking soap have a childfree woman already?  There’s more of us out there than people think and I know I am not the only soap viewer that is.

Other than that. DAYS has been pretty good so far this month.

    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time. 
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.
