DAYS: July 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

[Contessa Donatella]

BITD we were posting quite a lot & we thought about what we were watching & we complained, of course, but like when it was so good at GH with Wendy Riche & Claire Labine, we knew we were having it good, but I don't think anybody had any idea how bad it could get. Do you?

Blue Moon was on Guiding Light. I totally remember that as the character of Hampton Speakes would always be playing his jazz and a little bit of R&B musical numbers on his saxophone! I remember!

An anecdote from a Locher Room chat with Nancy Curlee & Stephen Demorest: Jordan got Hamp to go with him to this party. (They were friends.) When they got there, because Hamp was a black man they wouldn't serve him. Jordan said, "We are going, right now, we're leaving." Somebody who did not know Hamp asked what was up & Jordan told him & he said, "I cannot believe you are going to leave the party because they won't serve you ham."

It definitely could have gone on longer though.

Once again my criticism of the RC mysteries remains the same.  Nobody seems to be actively investigating the murder and gathering clues.  Poor Chad's got to run a company, raise two little kids, and solve his wife's murder at the same time.  Events just happen, nobody is actively engaging in debating theories about the murder, or gathering evidence.  We just wait for characters to tell each other their secrets.  That's not how Jessica Fletcher solved a case.

It goes back to my idea that part of the animus that Ron faces from fans is that he is always trying to trick us with red herrings and out of the blue motives rather than creating a plot that is well paced to keep us intrigued.

I miss the good ones that would go through a couple commercials!

I can't think of good murder mystery that I have enjoyed on DAYS besides The Killing Pool. The Salem Serial Killer had me intrigued until they were all on that island. Oh, god I'm sure there are so many, but I started re-watching DAYS in 1996. My illicit love affair with DAYS comes and goes and I can take it or leave it. As much as I make snide comments, it's all a healing process, lol!

Today's episode was FUN-NY! It was all over the place I tell ya. Is it just ME, or does it seem like Belle and EJ are nothing but fu*kbuds? Right? Am I right?? I think we all know here!

EJ: "Belle. What can I do? (pause) To help you with your sorrow?"

Belle: "EJ! Will you? (pauses and looks gazingly into his eyes) Please take me to Poundtown."

Geez, man. They have nothing else to really talk about besides Sami, Shawn, or Jan.

Hey, that rhymed.

Chandler Massey in 4 episodes in a row? Will in 4 episodes?❤

[Contessa Donatella]

Loves seeing Will! So, this is a change of subject: If anyone sees a GIF of Hope saying Oh sh*t, will you please grab it?

[Soapsuds]

So Sami didn't bitch slap Belle? Booooo.  Why not??

Good episode still.

Can they recast Roman? Josh Taylor mumbles all his lines. You can't understand a word he is saying.

Who would be a great recast, if Wayne Northrop won't come back? 

[Contessa Donatella]

They need an Acting Coach! 1-work with Will to get rid of the [!@#$%^&*]-eating grin and 2-get Josh Taylor's head up. Actors who mumble are talking into their next to top button spot on their chests. These things are fixable.
