Days of Our Lives: May 2022 Discussion Thread

[Khan]

DAYS has never even TRIED to retcon Ben's past as the Necktie Killer, and that's what annoys me the most about him.  I mean, come on, just say it was Jordan or Clyde doing all the killings and get it over with, lol.

My FF button got a workout on Thursday and Friday. You couldn't pay me to watch those Susan/Johnny/Ben scenes. I read recaps and that was enough. I also FFed through most of the cabin stuff, besides Allie revealing herself as the devil to Ciara. I don't need to see Ciara whining about needing Ben or their stupid Romeo and Juliet crap. This story needs to be over. 

I do enjoy the Price family story. I'm so glad Eli is awake. I just wish this story had been featured more before getting to this point. We've been seeing Lani like once every two weeks. It feels rushed now. But I'm still looking forward to Monday. The actor who plays TR is great.

When did Susan become a clairvoyant or psychic or whatever she is?  I know it's not recent, but it wasn't in her initial characterization.  Regardless, it's annoying and I'd rather see a recast Celeste than this.

I can't believe the SOB called Deidre Hall the "Mother of All Soap Stars."  Not Susan Lucci, not Susan Seaforth Hayes, not Eileen Fulton and Rosemary Prinz, not even Virginia Payne.  Nope.  Deidre.

I JFC with that [!@#$%^&*].

Wait. Did he just delete his Twitter account? No, he didn't. Sorry. I was confused when searching because the @roncavalarti on Twitter is no longer and I guess he changed it to @cavalartiron?

Oh you know I was completely nodding my head in agreement with that comment lol.   I don't hate it lol.

But I do get your point.  Ron is an idiot for sure.

I love how Soap Twitter is celebrating the fact that it's finally clear that Ben is not ever going to be John and Marlena's 1986 baby

I never got that theory.  I get that there could be a 1986 baby, but even Ron wouldn't make it Ben.  Would he?  Sure, Marlena is weirdly attached to Ben but that's a huge leap.   It always sounded like a bunch of fanfic to me.  He would mess up timelines because he's younger than Belle/Brady, but I guess Paul is too and was born at basically the same time as those two.  I know there is wiggle room, but I don't even know how you begin to explain the fact Ben was born during J/M's first marriage and Belle was born during the Affair since the affair is brought up often.

His name is Carlivati, not Cavalarti 

His twitter is carlivatiron and it's been that for years.

Oh, my human error then. That's what I spelled? Curse this broken arm of mine and using one hand that's not the dominant one, but thank you for highlighting why I was having this issue, lol!

Really good episode today. Some of the dialogue was a little cringey but I didn’t have a problem with it. 

The acting was on point, except for RSW’s

 and so were the production values. And I love how both stories are coming to a climax at the same time. 

Evan looked good. I wish he had been written as a tragic hero instead of an angry psycho.

And Eli was looking really good with the trimmed beard too

I’m glad it was just a rumor, probably started by RSW stans. But I could see Ron doing it, especially after Sarah’s de-aging, and Evan’s too

Abe on the floor in a pool of blood. It looked real, like the show actually had a decent budget

Jamey must've wrote it.

And this is news? He's always sucked.
