Days of Our Lives: March 2022 Discussion Thread

Gotcha. So, for the most part part, it's based on his physical attributes then, lol! Going back to DAYS, the whole Leo/Chad thing was just odd in the sense that I can't think of a 100% heterosexual male (based on what I've learned with Alfred Kinsey's theory despite his research bias) who is more than willing to get naked for a gay dude to help his gay friends. And then for Abby to be like, "Oh, okay! I'll knock on Leo's hotel door because I'm an ally!"

To me, I just don't like how LGBTQIA+ are represented on this show. To me, I kind of feel that if Ron C. were to introduce a transgender transitioning from FTM, then he would develop a storyline where that transgender character is doing porn. I don't mean that as insulting, but to me, it just seems like Ron C. takes those stereotypes that society develops without a true understanding based on their heteronormativity and makes those stereotypes come into light.

Chad being willing to get butt-ass naked in bed with Leo is just Ron and the gang stroking it tbh. It's ridiculous and tacky, and Ron's been doing it for years.

I don't mind that RC has cultivated a rep for objectifying and sexualizing the str8 men of his soaps. That's what they're often there for, for both female and male audiences. I mind when they're reduced to eye candy or fetish objects while being dumbed down to idiocy, and I mind when the actual LGBT characters who could be equally sexualized leads are turned into camp events or relative bystanders who, it's implied, are lasciviously eyeing or preying upon the sr8 leads.

Yeah, and that's what I'm trying to convey from my own state of mind. To me, I just feel like Ron C. is that photographer or videographer from main stream media (MSM) that you would see during Pride events. In other words, they concentrate and focus on the skimpy dudes wearing bikinis and neon pink feather boas, but yet, they don't focus on a story about a lesbian couple (one being a cancer survivor) who both adopted a child once sexually and physically abused by the child's biological father. As depressing as that is, we don't see or read stories like that. Rather, society goes off by the "acceptable" heteronormative standard of how they view the LGBTQ population to be.

God, I'm so behind on actually watching DAYS that I'm now at the scenes where Craig finds Leo in bed with Chad. I actually loathe Leo calling Chad "Chadwick", but I at least appreciate that they gave him some brains to see through what was obviously the dumbest scheme of the century. It's odd for Will and Sonny (two gay guys) to assume that another gay guy wouldn't see through a straight guy trying to fake "lust" for the d. Come on now... I can't believe the headwriter is actually gay here.

 

Onto April...

Thank you. 

 

Meanwhile, on a brighter note, Jake and Ava 4EVA! Those two shackin' up in that sh!thole studio apartment is the world's greatest orgasm to life. I'm rooting for them. Don't break my heart, DAYS. Don't break my heart, but this a March DAYS 2022 discussion thread, lol!

    • Frank Valentini should thank his proverbial lucky stars that JE came out of retirement.
    • I liked Reva, too, but as I've said before, no one at that show besides Pamela K. Long knew how to write for her or for KZ.  You don't plunge a character who is OTT by design into circumstances that are equally (or more) OTT.  The trick with a character like Reva Shayne Lewis is to keep the storylines as down-to-earth as possible and allow her emotions to be bigger.  I've always said that both Reva and KZ were at their finest when they were dealing with relatively mundane things like Josh's paralysis, her marriage to H.B. and her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
    • I agree!  AE was just one of those performers who could draw you in, no matter what.  I don't believe I ever saw her phone in any performance on any show.  To me, she always gave 100%.  God, how I miss seeing her on TV every day.
    • Did OLTL have books in 80's like the other soaps that covered the early storylines of the show?
    • I liked (not loved) the character of Reva. I just didn't like how she ate the show. 
    • I’ve spent a lot of time at the bedside of dying family members. These hospital scenes feel very real. The entire Days team is doing incredible work.

    • LOL!  Yeah that makes sense, it seems like many soaps have that one character like this.  I do find it sad the other vets just sit around in the later years.
    • WOW!!!   Just amazing.  Her acting was topnotch and this was only an audition.  I was totally drawn into the scene!  I seriously wanted to know what happens next!
    • Even if you put the rape and the fact he was married to her sister for so long, it's a bit hard for me to buy EJ/Belle have strong feelings for one another.  They've known one another for years and years and there was never any indication they were attracted to each other until recently.  Then the first time they hooked up EJ immediately dumped her, went on to marry Nicole and steal her own brother's baby, then slept with Gabi.  I don't see any appeal for Belle here outside the obvious. I do think MM and DF have nice chemistry though. On a different note, what is on Belle's shirt?  Are they people running, crawling, riding bikes, in wheelchairs, all of the above?  The shirt is so distracting.  Worn on TV wasn't much help as I still couldn't get a close up picture.
