DAYS: July 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

[Soapsuds]

He slept several times with Sonny while Will was in prison. Actually I think they were dating at the time.

LOL! Gay, Bi, and Pans are all coming out in nomads on this show it seems. If it was more believable, then I dunno. Personally, I just feel that someone's gender, race, creed, ethnicity, socio-economic status, educational level, sexual orientation, religion, etc., is a very small part of who we are as human beings as we're all simply products of chance. I think when it comes to how sexual orientation is written on this show, I laugh at certain times, but then again, I roll my eyes because it's really dumb. Presently, hate crimes are present due to the societal descriptions I mentioned above. There was a time when I felt extremely uneasy with Eve and her racial microaggressions, and with Leo Stark, this fictional character is not really helping much either. It's not so much about me having a protective shield over myself as I can fight dirty, but I look at things from a macro-perspective and I'm mindful of that. 

In my opinion, Ron is not helping much especially in this climate. I guess thankfully DAYS is at a 1.2 or 1.3 rating in household viewers. Still, it takes one person to cause harm and we're seeing this on the news. Ron does not depict this subculture very well at all.

They were definitely dating while Evan was Rafe's nanny for his own son lol.   That's a weird sentence to write.  

Chad is definitely in denial but I wouldn't be shocked if Tripp or Johnny were too

Thanks for the reminder, completely slipped my mind.

[Soapsuds]

I hated Sonny with Evan. I always wanted Evan with Will. He should've been the one that he met in California.

They also implied that Will and Ben might have been more than cell mates.

Johnny is definitely bisexual. Tripp...not sure...I remember him chatting it up with Will. I think he dated the wrong sibling.

Evan should meet Paul.  He'd drop women forever.  He doesn't have good taste in the female department anyhow.  I don't remember hating Sonny/Evan based on chemistry or anything like that.  Just at how contrived Will/Sonny's breakup was.

Will/Ben is a fun idea until you realize he tried to kill him.  How on earth they could be friends, cellmates, or even lovers is beyond me, but it's a nice fanfiction idea

Regarding today's episode, Belle is such an awful friend telling Chloe she shouldn't judge because of Chloe's history.  Chloe should have snapped back at Belle about HER own history.  No wonder they hardly share scenes.  Belle is horrible to be around.  I did like her hitting Jan with an oar though.

Paul and Evan would be good but looks like Paul has Andrew. Evan being an antagonist between the two would be nice.

Ben and Will would've been hot if not for the obvious. I doubt RSW would play gay either.

[carolineg]

Yeah, this is why Evan shouldn't have been painted into this corner where he's in jail.  He should be in town running around as a conflicted bad guy forced to do evil things by his dad while no one knows.

RSW probably wouldn't play gay, but he seems like someone who wants to keep his job so he might.

[Soapsuds]

If Ben is free why isn't Evan? I don't even recall who he killed. Evan should be back in the gay scene raising two sons.

[Contessa Donatella]

What about "serious actors" who want to do the work? Doesn't that cover playing gay? Did that become passe'?

[John]

He killed Jordan and was the one who actually caused the accident that killed Adrienne

[carolineg]

He killed Jordan and Ben was framed for that, so I guess that's why that happened.

I don't know anything about RSW.  I don't know if he cares or not honestly.  I don't even know if he considers himself a serious actor because I don't lol.

[Contessa Donatella]

Oh, I follow that! I don't know nuttin' honey! I just bring it up as it used to be a potent carrot & more than one young soap hunk has had "serious actor" leanings.

[Contessa Donatella]

Again today I found myself myself being happy with my soaps! I have to pinch myself to be sure I'm not dreaming & my first thought is not to post

happy but to say something goofy. After all isn't it cool to be critical of your stories? Aw, He*lo pulling off some cool 'tude is not my thing. I'm having a good time & I might as well admit it. Chad went to yet another angst-ridden & scream-delivered place of anger. Billy Flynn reached for something & got it & threw it right into EJ's face. That was very high drama to be so physically close to each other. And, Rafe is impressing me being on the attack now that he has a bone to chew. Darbo is amazing. How can she play that naive?! I couldn't believe she even said, "Innocent until proven guilty." I am most worried if Leo did it. It was a nice turn that neither Leo nor Clyde knew each other. Strangers. I didn't know we were going to have a fight. They did a great job! I was seriously glad for Belle to whack her. But, where the heck is she? I was glad to see people with programs from the funeral. Everything they can do to support the idea that there really was one is the right thing to do. I like Evan. So, there's no chance he is getting out any time soon? My gaps in my DOOL viewing are waving red flags at me. Chloe has a sister? Chloe & Belle both have history? Why didn't Claire come back for the funeral? Am I the only one wondering if Mike Horton knows that bi*ch Gwen murdered his mother? Am I alone in thinking that Jack is guilty about Gwen growing up the way she did?

[carolineg]

So not to be mean, but isn't Marlena a little old to be an infants godmother?  I know Marlena is ageless, but isn't the whole point of a Godparent to take care of the child if something happens to Ben/Ciara both?   Or is that an antiquated notion?  I am sure Rafe would do it (or Hope obviously), but I would think Shawn and Belle would be the much more obvious choice.  I know I am overthinking it because it's just a title more than anything else on a soap, but it's not very realistic.  Anyhow, bye Ciara/Ben (until Monday on Peacock :/)!  Hope your boat doesn't capsize because Marlena's too old to raise baby Bo!

@TonksadoraAre you asking if Chloe/Belle have a history or a history of being slutty?  Yes to both.  They have been friends since high school.  Chloe's entire time on the show lol.  Belle has a long history with cheating on Shawn and Chloe, well, she was written quite badly for awhile and was a prostitute. And Chloe has a significantly younger sister Joy that Craig/Nancy had when Chloe was battling cancer.  Joy would easily work in the Johnny/Tripp/Allie/Chanel age range.  As far as Mike goes-we have no idea what he knows.  But we do know it took him and Jen MONTHS to figure out Laura's estate in Boston, so you would assume he knows the details of his mother's death since he was involved with the will and what not.
