DAYS: June 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛


Recommended Posts

The pacing is totally off. No proper built-up at all. Lucas just came back. A couple of episodes before the murder. Lucas being a suspect in his niece's murder. Doesn't set well with me. The story lacks any real logic. This murder mystery is going to be just as bad or worse than Charlie's murder.

Sarah's having hallucinations as a side effect.  She said she was having hallucinations of Kristen today.  So it's possible she went to see Abby and had some sort of hallucination or episode and killed her by mistake.

I think the fact Abigail is a legacy character born onscreen should pique more interest than Lani's new, abusive dad who we barely knew, but I don't know if the story will be any good.

Yeah, I think you all are right about it being the Salem Inn, but with all these re used sets I never know.

Agreed.  And the excuse is he's black out drunk.  I think most of us have done regrettable things while drunk, but it's a leap to suddenly become a violent murderer.  And someone so drunk would have a difficult time stabbing and killing a completely sober person as well.

LOL! I meant it in the sense that there's already one murder mystery that's a big ol' dud. So, why bring yet another murder if they have no desire to get the first one done? As aforementioned, Paulina and Co. haven't been around since May 18th. Yes, I get that Abigail is a legacy character, but I want to see more minority representation and the way they're writing Paulina, Abe, Eli, Lani is based on when it's convenient for the writers. I mean, unless this is a serial killer storyline, having two different murder storylines is hogwash.

Ha ha!  You both said the same thing.  I know the Paulina/Lani murder storyline isn't over, but I don't consider it a mystery.  We know Lani killed him.  

Do we need two murder stories?  Probably not, but this is an actual who done it and I do think both stories are different. 

I mean, you both aren't wrong and I assume this story will be poorly done as well, but I consider Abigail's shocking murder a little more high stakes.  We knew Ray was a goner from the start lol.

The pacing on the show is a disaster but I think Abe/Paulina are on next week.

LOL! No coroner report so far. It's Beth who was crawling on floor wanting to seize her revenge!

You're probably going to have to keep reminding me that this is a whodunit mystery because you know what? It felt nothing of the sorts, lol!

These stories are always predictable so I'm guessing none of the immediate suspects will actually be the killer. It'll be someone random like Orpheus (since they love to bring him back all the time) or someone in a mask. Ron's stories never have consequences so I'm expecting it to be someone totally unimportant.

They really should've had more buildup to this murder. We had like 2 episodes of characters wanting revenge on Abigail. It came out of nowhere. I'm assuming Sarah is supposed to be a suspect, and they didn't even bother to show the stuff with her hallucinating on screen. It's all out of nowhere.

The set-up for Friday's episode alone was ok, but I agree that the buildup was seriously lacking. This needed to play out for the whole week. It looks to me like it was a budget issue, but this really needed to be one of those times where they should said "Forget the budget" and just go all out. We should have seen Sarah hallucinating and freaking out, there should have been a scene of Lucas confronting Abigail, and that's been a problem for a while: too much stuff is happening offscreen 

Nahhh... he'd never turn his Real Housewife Lisa Rinna into a psycho

But I do think your correct in thinking that Ron doesn't like Lucas. Or Chad and Abigail for that matter

Well, tbf, your guy got some special treatment too 

But I did read that Ron got tired of writing these half couples (Wilson, Chabby, Cin) and there may be a lot of changes this summer because of that.

Not another stupid murder mystery.  I don't remember the last time I enjoyed one.  This is DAYS, so Abby better not be dead for real.  She should be one of the lead female characters on the show.  And I love Marci so that adds to the disappointed of Abby being killed.

How can an episode where a soap kills off a legacy character be so damn boring? I tried to tune in to see what was going on and I can't keep watching. Ali/Chanel + snore. Tripp leaving town again....ok, whatever. Susan...I just can't sit through. What a horrible mix of scenes today when this ep should be going all out hyping up Abigail's death.

Caught it on Youtube, and yeah, I got a little misty eyed watching Billy Flynn

 I didn't even expect it. It just happened.

Still don't see a reason why Abby had to be murdered, but I hope it leads to BF being used more effectively. There's a lot more that they could do with him rather then have him pimp himself out to Leo. I also find it interesting that Abby said "They had a knife"

All this weekend I kept asking myself WHY aren't we all traumatized  by  this terrible wasteful death?!!  We're mad. We're indignant. We think we know better than TPTB what should have been done instead. All thinking, no feeling. Didn't touch us. How badly can someone botch a death of a popular legacy character? I guess we're seeing how badly Ron Can.

    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
    • @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.  
    • I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."  
    • A few more thoughts about these last two episodes. I thought it was interesting how much disdain both Dani/Anita have for Eva. I thought it was amusing how Dani was calling her lying/conniving and how Anita pointed as if to say, "that part". They definitely are not here for her, and I could see them having harsh confrontations with her in addition to Leslie. I'm curious to see Kat's interaction with Eva on Monday's episode. I think it might be interesting if Kat (along with possibly Naomi/Chelsea) come around to Eva before Dani/Anita do. Of course, Kat will be understandably angry at her. But maybe a tiny part of her might feel sorry for her if she really does believe that she's Ted's daughter as well and that Leslie lied to her. I could see Kat confronting Eva again and warning her not to harm her family anymore. But I could also possibly see Kat admitting that what Ted/Leslie did regarding her was messed up as well. And maybe that will pave the way down the line for them to get along better. I also agree with the comments/speculation made in the threat that Nicole will eventually accept/probably love her someday as well. I still wouldn't mind if somehow Nicole ended up being her biological mother. They have both been acting like they care for each other in this storyline. Nicole somehow ending up being her mother would be soapy and provide some more interesting layers in this story. And regarding Andre/Dani's romance it seems like they are genuinely developing feelings for each other. I have missed episodes, so maybe more of this has been elaborated on. But it seemed like there was genuine affection between both of them when they snuck a kiss publicly in the hotel. And also, them both talking about going publicly with their relationship. I wonder what everyone's reactions will be should they be caught by someone together. Of if they flat out tell everyone about their relationship.
