DAYS: June 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛


Recommended Posts

I just thought Cady played it very un-Jen like.  I couldn't imagine Missy playing it like that and I think it the past CM has done a good job getting Jen's mannerisms down.  It was too hysterical and over the top.  If Days had any smarts they would have used Cady for the silly double wedding stuff and Missy for this or they should never have brought Missy back at all so we could get used to CM as Jen and see the Jen/Abby relationship between MM and CM.

I thought Billy Flynn was fine.  I don't think he's Olivier or anything, but I have always thought he was a pretty decent actor.  You could tell he was really trying and I appreciate that because sometimes BF seems like he's coasting or really, really bored.

And I have to agree about reactions to Abby's death.  I am not sure we needed to see how Marlena, Susan and Belle reacted to it.  There are other people on the canvas like Ben, Anna, Tony, Maggie, Doug, Julie, Gabi, etc who have/had more of a relationship with her.

I am sad to see Tripp go. Maybe sadder that I’m happy for a fictional character to be getting out of this mess.

Add my voice to the choir, killing off Abby is a short-sighted move and DOOL has played itself because death means nothing to its audience as it means nothing to the show itself. As an empathetic person, I may have a moment of emotional reaction watching a fellow human being mourn. But this show will never, ever touch the dramatic heights of Laura Cudahy, BJ Jones, Megan Gordon…

I like Robert Scott Wilson and miss him. Happy to hear he will be back soon. 

Cady McClain was off in her scenes. Not impressed with her acting choices. I don't know why Melissa Reeves wasn't there. I'd have preferred Melissa to be in this storyline.

Billy Flynn is doing great work. He's nailing it. Emmy worthy for sure.

Bye Tripp!  I liked you!  

I think Gabi had the most legit response to Abigail's death in all seriousness.  I have always liked CB and this felt like the most realistic reaction to me.

Also WTF is Brandon Barash's suit?  It looked so cheap and awful lol

Candy McClain! Now, THAT'S a good drag queen name right there (take notes RuPaul stars)! Hell, that's a good stripper name too! Or, it's a disgruntled ousted family member of the McCain family vowing her revenge. I love it! Get it, kitty gurl! YAASSS, QWEEN!

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
