Days of Our Lives: December 2021 Discussion Thread

Yeah, that was awesome, then they made the mistake in bringing him back. I think at this point Rafe has become the new Daniel LOL.

I finally watched today's episode and I'm guessing that this quickie marriage is largely going to be a plot point to make Allie jealous. But since Chanel is now a DiMera, I really want Paulina to worm her way into living at the mansion. Imagine her mixing it up with Tony and Anna, Susan, EJ, etc. 

I do really like Chanel and Johnny though. They have really good chemistry and Carson Boatman is just totally charming in his scenes with her.

At the risk of applying logic to an illogical situation, one of the things that doesn't work in the MarDevil reboot is that nobody seems to be using the communication devices that are literally at their fingertips.  I know the devil emoji showed up on the phone, but why aren't people warning their loved ones and keeping them informed of the danger?  It's 2021, aren't the Brady siblings on a text chain where they can tell each their suspicions about Marlena?  Don't Belle and Shawn text each other throughout the day to know when they're coming home?  Haven't Doug and Julie facetimed with Kayla since Thanksgiving?

In the 90s it made sense that most of Salem wouldn't know information until it was published in the newspaper.  But, today information would run much faster than it seems to amongst the Bradys and the Hortons.  I find myself yelling at the screen to Tripp, "why don't you message your father before confronting evil demons at work!"

Sorry.  I meant the one they had in 2018.  It's either different or being shot differently now.  It looked so much roomy before the shoot the bride wedding.

Again, it feels like everyone knows about Mardevil and no one is taking it very seriously.  Instead of the police force charging brady for murder of someone who isn't dead they should be more focused on the Prince of Darkness casually running around town.

Yeah, the whole "Lucas kidnapped Sami to make her love him" doesn't really make sense - well, less sense than usual is maybe more correct.

[KLN]

They should recast Lucas with Billy Miller.

[Khan]

No, they shouldn't.  In fact, no one should cast or recast Billy Miller in anything ever again.

[Soapsuds]

Wow!! Hmmmm...but I could see him as Philip.

[Khan]

And I could see him pulling up in a Terminix van and asking if it's okay to access my backyard.

[Gray Bunny]

Yeah. The whole aspect of it falls flat. When it's a punchline, not a grave concern, it's a fail. 

[AlexElizabeth]

Filler Griller Killer Thriller Miller is not needed on DAYS as any character. Lucas doesn't need a recast. Philip needs new hair. 

[Antoyne]

Lucas doesn’t need to be recast at all and especially not with Billy Miller.

Poor Kate, both her sons are psychos. Which really shouldn’t be surprising to be honest. I wonder if she’ll blame herself.

[DaytimeFan]

Lucas does not need to be recast. Bryan Datillo owns that part.

Luckily, Kate still has good 'ol Austin. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but never a psycho. 

[janea4old]

(Not a spoiler. Just guessing.) I think the devil was in Salem long before it was revealed to the viewers in October.  I think the devil entity was using Philip and Lucas for its own longterm agenda.  I think we'll learn eventually that it was behind a lot of things that we haven't yet suspected.
Just a theory.

I really hope so because Lucas and Phillip are not looking great here.

 

I wish he were in town instead of Rex. I still don’t really buy Kyle Lowder’s Rex as part of Kate’s brood. We never actually see him with Lucas or Phillip.

 

Speaking of homes. Kate has been an executive for years and years at multiple corporations. Why the hell is she living above the pub like she’s broke?
