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.

    • 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?
