What a boring mess that promo is, and this is the summer and early fall.....yikes. Like holy DiMera! I get the show sees value in having a villainous family front and centre, especially one spawned from one of the show's most well known characters, but this is really overload. I've said it before, without Joe Mascolo or Eileen Davidson, this just doesn't work. DiMera corporate and back from dead stories are boring and overdone. It was all Carlivati did for 8 years, did they not fire him for change? Like just burn the DiMera's to the ground, I wish Lexie would go Gwen Alden on them all! Like just kill them one by one. Instead we'll probably see her argue with Theo and EJ about how the DiMera company should change for multiple episodes, it won't of course, then we'll watch her slowly die again while everyone screams and beats up on EJ. And I assume we'll be getting another DiMera...the one hiding the "Easter eggs"? 😵💫 Awful.
The few other things not tied to the DiMera's....like snooze town. I assume Johnny and Chanel will have a crap load of boring scenes whining about their love and worrying about her cancer and the baby, and they'll all end up fine in time for their 2027 exit. That love scene will probably be one of the 2 or 3 times we'll see Lani and Eli between Summer and Christmas. I assume Sarah and Xander will just have a bunch of angst and shouting and Xander will continue to sleep with Gwen while Sarah and Brady continue to keep the sale of ambien down amongst Days fans. And this summer is the 50th Anniversary of Marlena???? All we see from her is a scene telling Xander to get over Sarah and another of her with her family in the pub. I assume she'll get the same treatment everyone has gotten in the past 5 years for anniversaries, some scenes in a random episode, sitting around a table at the pub or bistro remembering 5 or 6 key moments with everyone saying awe and how sweet everything is.
I get the show has a 0.99 cent budget and shoots 5 episodes a day, but there has to be more compelling stories than this? Like read a history book on Days, look to the 1960s and 1970s when the show had a small budget but told compelling stories. Even if they copy the story word for word into the scripts today, it would be better than this.
