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!

    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
