Days of Our Lives: November 2021 Discussion Thread

Yeah that line about seducing Eric was weird.  That's not at all what happened, but okay.

I liked ED's Kristen/Brady.  I don't like Kristen/Brady anymore.  It went too far and ED/EM had chemistry SH/EM really don't.

It just such an odd take for John to be so tempted by Kristen when realKristen is obsessed with Brady and even ED's Kristen/John haven't been an item in like 25 years.   I know Eileen was limited in her visit and this should be over soon, but I have to believe there was a better way to utilize her.

I am interested in the Sami stuff on Monday.

Susan has to go. She is so beyond annoying I have no words. I know everyone feels the need to add qualifiers and to praise Stacy Haiduk, but for me, she’s worn out her welcome. She could write a book filled with her acting tics, so she should leave the show and do that.

[David_Vickers]

Susan is the main problem and the writing for her.   I grew very tied of her back when Eileen Davidson was playing her years ago, and the waaaay over use of her now is madding, aggravating and almost nerve racking.  Kill her off.

[AlexElizabeth]

Susan is a character that needs to be brought on for an episode or two once a year for scenes with EJ. I also wouldn't mind seeing her with Johnny. But man, nobody was asking for her to be on all the time and involved in the possession storyline. It's awful.

When Eileen returned to play Susan for Will’s return from the dead, she really spoiled me when it came to Susan. Yes she was playing Susan, but I felt like she humanized her as a mother who lost her son.
 

Even the way she dressed felt more believable to me. Stacey I feel only plays the comedic elements and doesn’t give Susan any depth or heart. She is meant as comic relief and that’s all you’re getting.

The problem is this storyline is not supposed to be comedic, and it's at the point where Susan's presence is hurting it a lot more than helping it.

THIS. I can't believe this is the same Head Writer who wrote such humanizing scenes for Susan then.  She's a complete and total cartoon now, and barely interacts with said son she was distraught over losing years ago. 

[Soapsuds]

I actually believe it is. It's a parody of the original. I mean Ron pretty much said that on Dishin Days. He doesn't take any of the stories seriously. They are all told for giggles and laughs.

[AbcNbc247]

I know. But it shouldn't be. It would be better if it was taken more seriously.

[j swift]

I get what you mean because camp should be unintentional

[Soapsuds]

Ron would tell you eh!

Just like he did for those complaining about Ciara being with serial killer Ben. He doesn't care.

John Waters would disagree with you.

John Waters on camp (from an interview with The Face - August, 2019)

Does “camp” still mean anything today?
"If you know, if you’re in on it, it can’t be camp. It has to be something innocent that tried to be good, that was so bad, like the movie Boom! (1968). That’s the true meaning of the word."
