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.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
