DAYS: June 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Glad I'm not the only one, lol! Sometimes I feel like when I express my opinion, it comes out wrong at times. It's just given the fact that I've seen a Lisa Rinna impersonator, a drag queen busting a wedding, men stripping down to whatever underwear they have on, Leo's sleazy ways that he stares men up and down, and Chad wanting to talk to Leo about Tina Turner while they were in bed, I really thought I was about to witness Leo asking Clyde if he wanted oral sex. I really did.

I liked today's episode.  I liked Chad/John/Marlena and the kids.  I do think it's weird Jack and Jen aren't there, and John/Marlena are around instead, but the scenes themselves were quite nice.

The EJ/Belle/Sami/Lucas stuff was pretty good and I actually was shocked Nicole and Rafe got married so quickly.   All in all, decent episode.

@Noel Do we think Leo just writes down his revenge names on a page of his journal everyday?  I mean, it's got a lot of pages.  Maybe he wakes up everyday and re-writes them down to occupy time.

@carolineg I just don't understand for the love of God why he's writing them down. It was only like 6 people and now 1 is dead so it's 5! Is it that difficult to memorize? I wonder if he writes daily inspirational quotes, lol! Live, laugh, LOVE! Be the BEST you!

Doesn't it seem as if we don't get a lot of Gabi?  I'd be interested to see how many episodes she's appeared in June, compared to the prior year.

I'm neither a fan nor a detractor, but she was poised to be the leading lady.  I know she recently had a love scene with Li.  But, she and Jake are not a supercouple, she's not involved in the Abigail's murder (despite their history), and it doesn't look like she's going to a rebound for Chad. 

I wonder what's up?

I know!  And he looks at them daily in public-like can you forget 5 names?  I could understand if it was some Tony/Andre like manifesto where he explicitly stated why he hated John and how he was going to frame him for his own "suicide" in the world's most elaborate plot.  That was cool!   But this is just Leo staring at names

 

I think CB's airtime has been significantly decreased after her leaving/that contract dispute a few years ago.  I think CB bailed when less airtime was offered and then COVID hit and she took Days back up on the offer.  It's been a steady decline IMO for awhile now.  Even if the airdates she has had disagree with me-she really hasn't had much story.

The John/Marlena/Chad scenes were the best part of today’s episode. I always like when characters who don’t usually interact share scenes together, and it was nice to see both John and Marlena comforting Chad in their own ways.

I totally forgot that with this marriage, Nicole is now on Husband #7

And Belle was a real thirsty ho today. You could tell she was dying to get some EJ throughout all the scenes that Sami was there

I haven't watched today's episode, but I've been meaning to say that Belle is becoming a horny toad, and that's cool. There's no substance at all with EJ and Belle. Hey, if you need a f-buddy, I can understand that. If Belle or Ava need to have a good in time in bed, but it feels like the conversations they have with their f-buddies is like talking to a crockpot, then I get it totally. 

And Ava ... she's the one who's shackin' up in a sh!thole studio apartment with no other place to go. Mobster my ass.

I am annoyed they took the easy way out with this Shawn/Belle/Jan stuff.  It had potential for years worth of drama.  

Do Ciara or Ben really have any experience sailing?  I am sure Ciara is fine, but sailing isn't exactly the easiest thing to learn for Ben and they have a newborn lol.

I love how the show absolutely did not follow up on the Rafe/Nicole/Eric stuff, but did follow up the Belle/Sami/EJ/Lucas scenes.  The Sami et all stuff could have theoretically all happened a few hours or a few episodes later, but I guess Eric/Rafe/Nicole are just chatting in the hall while all this is happening lol.

I genuinely don't get why they went with such a contrived set up to begin with if it was just going to end so soon. But on the other hand, I feel the same with a lot of the villains that Ron tends to cycle in and out of the show - why not actually give them some stability in the sense that they can keep torturing their victims on the long term instead of sending them to jail/coma for long stretches, then spend time trying to justify why characters would tolerate having them around only to wish-rinse-repeat?

The only thing I miss from JER is that he could write a long-term storyline that would end up in a real pay-off.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
