DAYS: June 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Same. @Tonksadora provided a great recap of it all (although I could've watched it on Peacock again, but I won't waste my energy) on another thread. Honestly, I forgot what happened. I just remember Ciara looking like a Smurf, the dude with the waxed eyebrows pounding on Johnny, and Tripp bargain-begging with the devil or something to that effect. Then, the timer on my Echo device went off and I went into the kitchen to get something I made out of the oven. Yeah, I didn't even rewind the episode to see the outcome, lol!

 If Soap Opera Digest still covers the Best and Worst of Soaps at the end of the year, please, pretty please! Put Devil 2.0 or 2.75 as the worst storylines. Actually, tie it with the Shawn/Belle/Jan/Cheeseburgers storyline too. Well deserved.

I watched Monday's episode (6/6) and I'm curious about two or four things:

1) Were those boils on Billy Flynn's chest? I'm not sure because it looked like a circular cluster of something. I didn't know if it was acne, boils, or a rare skin condition that I'm not aware of.

2) What is Abigail's job title/position at The Reporter? Is she a journalist or a private investigator? Journalists receive assignments or evaluate leads or tips to develop story ideas while private investigators write reports or case summaries to document investigations. Maybe there's a complex relationship between the two and correlate with each other in a way?

3) What drug quickly "evaporates" in the bloodstream? The only drug I suspected was gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). It mostly comes in liquid form, but there are powder forms as well (not so common). Still though, that drug stays in the bloodstream for at least up to eight hours. 

The fourth one, I'll drop as it was more about me not understanding the purpose of Leo Stark breaking into the Dimera mansion. I didn't understand the intent. Could you imagine if the police were called? 

Rafe: "What were you doing while breaking inside the Dimera mansion?"

Leo: "I wasn't doing anything malicious! I just wanted to talk to a picture frame!"

ETA: Lucas Adams looks like a Thundercat with that makeup job.

I thought it was a good episode as well.  I sort of understand Marlena being guilted into helping Jan.  I had to laugh at Belle saying John, of all people, favors Sami.  Sami would disagree.

  I liked the mix of characters and the story today.

Well, let's see. Jan seems to be mentioning it frequently and she even whopped down a juicy cheeseburger when Belle and E.J. came by to move her "office equipment" which I guess was done in private. I should know because Belle was wearing that ugly ass plaid shirt. Nothing is more distracting than tasteless clothes. Actually, the wardrobe at DAYS (if they have one) reminds me of Sears. Oh, and H&M. Shortly thereafter, Belle serves Shawn with swift divorce papers in that ugly ass plaid shirt. A couple of hours later (Tuesday's episode [6/7]), Shawn whips up a parfait concoction of spinach of feta cheese for Jan. Again, Jan starts blabbering about a juicy cheeseburger from the Brady Pub. I'm like, "Gurl! Enough already with all that." 

The scenes between Johnny, Chanel, and Allie reminded of a television dating game show to the point where I expected Wayne Brady, Howie Mandel, or Drew Carey to pop out and ask: "So, Chanel! Who do you choose? Is it going to be Johnny or is it going to be Allie? (looks directly at the camera) We'll find out an answer (suspenseful pause) right after a commercial break!" Then came that conversation about a basket fries and Johnny wanting his fries extra crispy. I swear to God, I was going to lose it if the subject of mayonnaise came out of anyone's mouth because you know what? We've already been there and done that. Seriously. However, as bad as the Devil 2.0 or 2.75 was, MarDevil, Belle, and Johnny seem to be the only ones with true remorse about it, lol! Okay, so maybe Allie did show some remorse in one episode, but afterwards, she acts all aloof to it telling Will, "Yeah, I heard I was a complete bitch to people."

I liked Jan Spears back in the day. Now, I don't care about her as she's too cartoonish for my taste. But, I do like how she kind of "sticks it" to people, especially MarDevil. I just can't seem to wrap my head around the hypocrisy of these characters. Like, I don't understand how Ben gets this "redeem card" while Jan's the one who gets the short end of the stick. That's right, Jan. Keep reminding those hypocrites of their signature shortcomings served Sunnyside up on a cheap Dixie paper plate. Shoot, I'm like that in real-life and I don't hold back either. 

Sarah seems to have a problem with Every. Effing. Thing. Has she ever been satisfied before in the past? I can't remember. Although Sarah's expertise is in the medical field, maybe she could be the perfect candidate to help redo Belle and Shawn's crib. I know I made a remark about the wall décor and I take back all the insulting things I've said. No, the wall décor does not look like cookie-cutter prints. Instead, this beautiful print reminds me of a print that you would see on the bottom of a homemade ashtray in Florida on a cardboard table, surrounded by several pieces of saltwater taffy.

Getting drunk on Yellowtail chardonnay will do that to people. Or, perhaps it was an excuse for her to take a shower and get out of that ugly ass plaid shirt. One or the other.

Ha! Ha!  That shirt was really ugly and Belle usually looks okay, so she may have been drunk when she put it on in the morning.  John also referred to Belle as Sami's baby sister which is technically true, but they have looked the same age since 2005.  Perhaps John's drunk as well.  I know we are supposed to be on Belle's side, but she's acting like EJ is the only person she can turn to when she has 2 brothers and her good buddy Chloe on the canvas as well.

I give Jan a pass on the cheeseburger stuff.  She was in jail or a coma for the last 20 plus years.  I'd want a lot of cheeseburgers if I was her as well.

I see that some of us are going to really enjoy today's show

Shawn's a lot nicer than I would be lol and agreed about Jan. I always preferred her as the scheming, bitchy mean girl that was mean pretty much just to hide her vulnerabilities. Turning her into a full on psycho was a mistake in the long run.

Yeah, I just don't pay attention to her for the most part. I mean, why should I invest in such a crappy storyline anyway when she's just going to be around for like what? A month or two? Truthfully, hearing Martha Madison shout, "JAN (pause) SPEARS!" does make me cackle. Such a little drama queen and I live for it.

 

ETA: Wait. You just testified in front of us @AbcNbc247 that some of us are going to enjoy today's show. You just testified and I have you in a quote box! Johnny and Allie haven't had their extra crispy French fries yet. Is the word mayonnaise brought up into conversation?

While I could have did without Sonny dreaming about Will and Leo, it was nice to get a romantic episode for Sonny and Will. They were do for one. That's one thing I think DAYS does a good job with overall is giving couples romantic scenes and episodes for the fans.  This stint for Will felt shorter than the last one. Considering what's going to happen rest of this week and next, I would have thought they would have kept him around a bit longer, but I assume it didn't work with Chandler's schedule.

Jan Spears, mistake in the long run, yep, I can buy that! But, here's what I want to know: Do we think that the budget is bad enough that they are (1) doing their own hair (2) doing their own makeup (3) wearing their own clothes? I don't mean being catty about the looks of the thing, that's fun  sure, but I mean do we really think they are scraping that much of the bottom of the barrel? I'm fascinated that the show does not have enough money to do things in a standard way & are making it up as they go along. The final years of GL were lessons in inventiveness when there wasn't enough money. Things make me think there's not enough money at DOOL today. Am I barking up an empty tree? How can we find out?

Will and Sonny f ucking in bed was the highlight of today's show followed by EJ only in PJs.

Btw Belle looks like a homeless person. The last two shirts/blouses have been so ugly.

    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
