DAYS: June 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Stephanie & JOEY! Great, thnx, that clears that up. I have thought for years that that kid's name was JJ. I completely missed that it's Joey.

I concur that back in the day Julie & Hope had a contentious relationship of half-sister & step-parent during a time I also think of Hope being a daddy's girl & Doug being lax on discipline. They've long since gotten past any of that old historical stuff but Julie does seem like a 'grand' to kids where she's not really but it hurts nobody.

Two nights ago someone posted about the Watergate pre-emptions & I posted that I think then my mother was furious that Addie was pregnant with Hope for something like 19 months & a group gathered while I told about Addie & Ben & Steven. Just a handful of people who never knew about Addie.

Yeah, I am not saying Hope/Julie don't have a loving or good relationship, but it never felt motherly in the way, say, Carrie/Marlena did-even though that's not an exact correlation.  Hope/Julie have always had an overall different vibe.  That being said, it would be weird to me to hear Ciara call Julie "Aunt Julie" instead of Grandma Julie simply because she's been married to her grandfather her entire life.  The same way Allie/Johnny call John "Grandpa" because he's been married to their grandmother basically their entire lives.  Anyway, I am still more curious how Ben/Ciara are going to sail around the world without any formal boating experience.  That's more of an issue than what Ciara calls Julie lol.

I totally think Ciara knows her way around a boat, but Ben would have to actually learn, take courses, get a license etc.  Shawn/Belle I could buy because Shawn D grew up on that boat and it was established he knew how to sail.  Sailing isn't easy and it's not going to be with a newborn, so best of luck to those two lol.  It's a soap so whatever, but could you imagine the actual planning it would take to sail around the world?

Lucas is Bill Horton's son. Jennifer is Bill Horton's daughter. Lucas & Jennifer are half-siblings. Bill Horton has another son, Mike or Michael. Michael is Jennifer Rose's big brother while Lucas is her baby brother.

Nope. Not a bit of it.

Oh, it was. Hope was a spoiled brat. Doug was disinclined toward discipline. Julie was in the middle.

They weren't like siblings to each other. Julie was an adult before Hope was ever born!

It's easier now because Julie seems like a "grand" not an aunt, etc.

I know some people, or really knew since it was in the past, who did it, lived on a boat & went around the world several times & courted & married & had 3 children, 3 girls, while they were sailing around the world. Eventually they settled down back on dry land. I always found it amazing that they did it. It is beyond my imagination!

    • 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.
