Days of Our Lives: April 2022 Discussion Thread

Yeah, somehow Days can have several wacky stories and still make them boring.  The Devil story drags on and on, the Sarah/Renee story is idiotic, Leo/Chad/Sonn/Craig is silly and demeaning to Nancy, Rafe/Nicole/Ava is something no one likes, and the Lani/Eli story gets very little time.   Then you have characters like Kayla/Steve who haven't had a story in ages.  In fact, I am not even sure why they are on the show lol

It's a special kind of bad to ruin the show's most talked about story.  I think we knew it was going to happen, but I didn't think it would be so boring and uneventful. 

And try to take over Dimera.  Johnny could do all these things without being possessed.  MarDevil was much more cunning and did more in the beginning of the story.

Why does the devil want the Dimera's company?  Is he especially interested in young women's fashion?

It would make more sense if Johnny still wanted to direct and the devil wanted to implant subliminal messages in his film to control the population.  Rather than wanting to takeover a family business, once run by a psychotic twin, that doesn't seem to be international like Kiriakis, or produce anything worthy of being evil.

The devil should stick to ruining award shows.

Especially since Johnny is a Dimera and does have a right to work there.  It makes no sense.  Sure, he couldn't run it, but he could very easily get a super high up position there just through nepotism.   Focusing on his movie career would make actual sense.  JoDevil hasn't even really caused any chaos.  He broke up a few lame couples and his own marriage.  BORING

What makes no sense to me is that the the devil never said a word about being CEO when it was inside Marlena, but it suddenly became a thing with Johnny. JoDevil also isn't nearly as fixated on the Cin baby. It's just stupid. Johnny didn't need to be possessed for any of this to happen.

I mean, to be fair, how much can JoDevil do with the Cin baby until it's born lol?  He's definitely not fixated like Marlena was, but Cin are just hanging around town.   He can easily grab that baby later, but what's the plan there?  Is JoDevil just going to take a baby and make him the devil spawn.  That plan will take awhile lol.

At least MarDevil was doing some evil things like chaining John to a wall and pretending to be Kristen, commiting Doug, setting Christmas trees on fire and having Jan sleep with Shawn.  JoDevil broke up Tripp/Allie and Gabi/Jake.

Yeah, that's where I'm at with DAYS at the moment. I might have to take a few weeks breaks from watching it (I have a lot of work coming up anyway) and hope it improves by summer.

Shame on both of you for not knowing given all the talk in last month's thread over the 'tusche.  

 

More shame given there's an appreciation thread...though I love the picture above...perfect end to a bad day...lol. 

 

Who I meant though...hehe...was the one on the LEFT.

    • 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.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
