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.

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.

    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
