Days of Our Lives: December 2021 Discussion Thread

There are a lot of good ideas on Days, but the problem is they're being executed so poorly because of a number of reasons. Episode guarantees, fast pacing. Seriously, how was there no follow up with the exorcism in today's episode?

If you fix that up somehow, that could lead to a lot of improvements

And that's one of the problems I was talking about. Even if nothing happened, and Marlena and her family just spent the whole episode talking to each other and calming down after the exorcism, that really needed to be shown, just for the sake of followup

Valid!

I was talking more about Leo. I know he's a "type" but the way they wrote him in Beyond Salem was counter-productive. It's not helpful to reinforce negative stereotypes of gay people just as society is evolving. Just my opinion though.

Then again, this is a soap, so...

I just think Ron needs taste guidance.

 

ADHD Ron only cares about the bullet points.

Every storyline that I witnessed on this show reminds me of As The World Turns when Jean Passanante was at the helm. Oh my god. I don't know what to say anymore. A part of me cracks up laughing but another part of me wants to take my fingernails and scratch at a chalkboard as hard as I can and with all my might. As much as I love seeing my Queen Kristen Dimera (Eileen Davidson), she was no match for this MarDevil 2.0 debacle. This turd was such a major sh!t show that even all the Febreze in the world couldn't even cover up this stinking mess. Right now, I'm watching it again on Peacock on it's so, so embarrassing.

I haven't missed it this week. I just watch for the laughs. I don't want to say it entertains me but it makes me laugh the whole hour.

I can see that.

It's probably for naught. At the end of the day it's a matter of personal taste and Carlivati has proven no matter how skilled one thinks he is or isn't as a writer, he 100% lacks taste.

But I still prefer this to Dena.

As much as I laugh, I still can't help but wonder WTF is wrong and how bad the delivery is. I mean, I thought the character of Eve and her racial microaggressions that came out of nowhere were one thing and offended me, but this show now is just ...

 

So, how is MarDevil 2.0 not able to break out of rope strapped to a bedpost, but is easily able to break out out of handcuffs?

ETA: It wasn't even an exorcism. It was all a bunch of flashbacks that brought her back. Okay, Sami. Take off that gaudy cross you will never sport around in public again. You bitch.

Granted, ATWT wasn't the show I grew up on but I don't remember Passanante coming anywhere close to the reek of Possession 2.0.

This will go down in history as one of the worst... things, this show ever did. Give me Austin and Greta in fig leaves to this.

It's mind bendingly stupid.

I can deal with camp (preferably less) but this story is a comedy skit to Ron. Start to finish. He didn't even pretend to take it seriously. Bump of coke, funky strain and this is what he came up with.

    • LMAO this is the funniest hill I'll die on. Here is what I'm saying ⬇

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
