Days of Our Lives: March 2022 Discussion Thread

See, this is where I would introduce a new character, a young, male colleague of Marlena's, who succeeds in de-programming Sarenee, or at least assists Marlena in doing so.  That way, you set up a potential, new love interest for Sarah who would serve as spoiler for her and Xander.

That would be a great idea!  There needs to be another shrink in town that isn't sinister.  At this point in her life, Marlena deserves to retire, you know?  I know it limits some of her storyline possibilities, but does anyone just retire on Days?  She's been working for about 50 years as a Dr.  I would have retired years ago lol

Definitely.  I know the hospital has never been a huge focus for Days, but the show needs more than Kayla and 22 year old Tripp being the Drs. of all trades in town and a new shrink.  I wouldn't be opposed to it being one of Justin/Adrienne's sons who wouldn't be related to many in town.  Hell, I would even pretend Jeremy Horton didn't exist in that previous run and make him a Dr.  He's not technically related to Sarah lol.

Actually, @carolineg, if you'll recall, University Hospital was a major focus for DAYS in the early years, with Tom, Bill, Laura, Tommy, Greg and Neil all working there.  If anything, returning the focus to the hospital - with characters like that new psychiatrist/love interest for Sarah - would be returning the show to its' roots.  And isn't Sarah supposed to be a doctor?

But but BUT...I would have the new shrink come from a family where everyone - mother, father, siblings, everyone - has suffered from one form of mental illness or another; a background which explains why he became a psychiatrist/psychologist in the first place.

It would be a major stumbling block in his and Sarah's relationship.  She wants to have children, but he's afraid he'll pass on whatever mental illness exists within his own family.

Very true.  It just hasn't been for a bit.  I wouldn't mind a refocus on the hospital, but I have always assumed that wasn't the show's main focus like General Hospital should be lol.  I have always considered Days to be focused on several different aspects and never considered it a hospital show.  Recently, Lexie, Kayla and Mike were the Jack of all trades Drs.   And, yes, Sarah is a jack of all trades Dr. herself.

But your idea about a new shrink is fabulous and I am onboard.  And someone that doesn't have a history of mental illness or devil possession (side eyeing Laura/Marlena) would be great lol.

I do appreciate everyone trying to fill in all the plot holes that are coming from the Saranee stuff

Before the Olympics, JoDevil tricked Gabi into believing that Jake was plotting to doublecross her. And now she's planning to do the same to him. This all makes Gabi a little stupid, imo

How does Sarah/Renee not notice how different Salem is now...or modern technology! I know I'm looking for logic where there is none though.

While I love any use of the show's history this one is waaaaaaaay off.

    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
