Days of Our Lives: January 2022 Discussion Thread

Honestly, if I had my way I would make Johnny a (non-devil) villian and keep Tripp the good guy.  I think there is something smarmy about Carson Boatman that works better than Lucas Adams as a villian.  Obviously they both could be villains but they are the only two men in this age range right now so that probably wouldn't work lol

Absolutely. 

Carson's been doing a great job as JoDevil pretending to be Johnny. He plays coldhearted really well. I could see him becoming a real villain when Allie/Chanel sleeping together finally comes out. 

Ehhh... I can't see Tripp as a kept man though

Johnny should get back at Allie by sleeping with Tripp.

He needs a [!@#$%^&*] better name than "Tripp."

(Seriously, "Tripp"?  WTH, DAYS?)

[AbcNbc247]

Haha

Just like with Craig, that could be a pretty good story as long as it's handled with care

Do you think Sami's head would explode if 3/4ths of her kids were LGBTQ?   For all we know Sydney is too lol

I have known a Tripp in life lol.  It was a white preppy guy.  I think it might be an east coast name?  It's a stupid name, but I have heard it.  But I have never met a Roman or Marlena in real life, so it's not the most out there name I guess.  Tripp Johnson does sound vaguely like a porn name though.

Unfortunately, if you keep Johnny as a villain, even after he has been exorcised, you run the risk of people wondering, "Is the devil still in him?".  I know that SOUNDS good, but trust me: the sooner we get away from that story again, the better.

[carolineg]

Yeah that's true and that's disappointing because I like Johnny as a villian.   I said somewhere in this thread that it limits the fun, sexy, scheming stories we could have had with Johnny.  Saddling him with the devil is not like saddling Marlena with the devil.  Johnny's a pretty blank slate.  Marlena was always good.

[Khan]

No.

I'm telling you, Syd is having an inappropriate relationship with the headmaster at her boarding school OR she's involved in a call-girl ring that's being spearheaded by the headmaster and/or the bitchiest girl at school.  (Or even both!)  So, yeah, she could be, too, lol.

But you know it's all anyone can do not to call him "Tripper," or "The Tripster," like the old "Richmeister" character from SNL.

And Tripp is a doctor, right?  So, "Tripper John(son), M.D.," here we come!

My aunt has 4 kids and 3/4ths of them are LGBTQ. Two gay sons and one lesbian daughter. Her oldest son never really came out. He just started dating guys. The second son met a guy in the navy but he wasn't out. His bf threatened to leave him if he didn't come out to his family. So when the daughter came out it was pretty much who the [!@#$%^&*] cares.

[carolineg]

Oh I know it happens.  My friend and his sister are both gay so that was 2/2 for that family, but I am imagining Sami's reaction to it all lol.  You know Marlena would be thrilled lol

[Soapsuds]

Sami had a raised eyebrow moment when it was hinted that Allie had feelings for Chanel. Not only would Marlena be happy but so would Will.

If Allie AND Sydney were to come out as gay, then they might as well rename this show ALL MY GAY CHILDREN.

[AbcNbc247]

Nah. It would have to be Gays of Our Lives
