Days of Our Lives: December 2021 Discussion Thread

We go back to AlexElizabeth's point.

Ron pulled a name out of the show history in Laura because "Look I am using History!" but he didn't understand who she was and what she meant to the audience so he saw no problem treating her as an expendable chess piece in the story *he* wanted to tell with a character *he* created.
If he is not undoing Adrienne's much-easier-to-undo death, he is not undoing Laura's.
Unless he goes full Melaswen and uses the Devil to pretend everything that has happened for the past few years was the work of the Devil!

Didn’t  the actress who played Morgan win the role after winning the “I Wanna Be a Soap Star” Days edition on SoapNet?

No.  The girl that won I Wanna Be a Soap Star was involved in Shawn/Belle/Claire's kidnapping stuff I think?, but didn't get picked up past her initial episodes guarantee.

The girl that played Morgan (Kristen Renton) was rumored to be sleeping with someone high up or at Sony.  I think quite a few names have been bandied about, but I don't think anyone ever was sure.  Once they broke up Morgan and her dad were gone.

I love this.

Laura's a workable character.

Her rivalry with Kate and ties with Vivian. Her hatred of Kristen who tormented her to the nuthouse. Her friendship with Marlena. Her entire branch of the Horton family tree who still leads story. It was more than a waste killing her.

 

100%.

I like Gwen though. Don't hate me.

Thanks! I was so in and out with Days during that year I don’t remember how the Hollingsworth stories ended lol. Next thing I knew Phillip was down by the docks again except with that sketchy father/son duo played by Wes Ramsey and Gordon Thomson who didn’t last long either.

Colin Murphy was loyal and worked for Dimera Family and was the personal physician for Tony/Andre, so that would be the beef with Marlena. A few yrs back when Marlena pushed Kristen out the window and she was thought to be "dead" Stefano vowed revenge on Marlena and brought up things from the past she had done including being possessed, he blame her for the entire thing and said she enjoyed it.

I don't think even Stefano would want Marlena re-possessed since he got thrown off a balcony last time and was back to being obsessed with her during the Stevano days

Andre perhaps, so in a weird, stupid way, Colin is connected to him.  But super random if so.

Brady got charged because Kate/Victor declared Phillip legally dead.  Kate/Victor found out Phillip was alive and took that declaration back and declared him not dead I guess?  So officially, Phillip is now just missing under suspicious circumstances.

If Ron wants to bring a character back as mastermind behind Marlena possessed again have it turn out to be the shocking return of Peter Blake finally returning. Dimera family had a strong connection to Marlena being possessed in 1995. Peter seeks revenge on everyone who sent him to prison along with re-igniting the feuds with Stefano's enemies and carrying on the family legacy. It's revealed that Peter Blake raised Gwen as a true Dimera part of his revenge on Jack for sending him to jail/stealing Jennifer, thus would explain why Gwen targeted Abby. Peter knew about Jack/Laura affair from yrs ago which resulted in Gwen but Laura managed to hide the pregnancy from everyone else. If Colin Murphy indeed returning, he's working for Dimera family again namely Peter Blake to set up his long awaited return.

That's true but knowing Ron he'll re-write history as Mar Dar throwing Stefano off the balcony never happened .

Dimera family bringing back Mar Dar would be along the same lines of New Salem, which Marlena was heavily involved as being framed as the murderer. Colin Murphy also was involved in New Salem, as well.

    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.
