DAYS: July 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

[carolineg]

Yeah, the twins were never 12 onscreen.  They might have been a little older than they should of been in 1991 (I am horrible with ages but they looked about 10 ish).  I believe Sami was only 15 when she came back and through the bulk of the affair story, but she was at least aged 5 years.  Belle (and Brady to an extent) screw everything up royally especially when the show constantly references the kidnapping by Sami (which seems to be a Ron thing because I don't remember it being brought up that often by other writers) and John/Marlena's 1986 wedding, so Belle was born before John/Marlena even met lol.  There are worse cases of SORASing or de-SORASing like Sarah/EJ, but the show doesn't constantly reference events that happened in regards to their characters that are time sensitive.  No one ever really brings up the fact EJ was thought to be John's when he was a baby or Sarah catching Maggie/Neil together as a 2 year old lol.  I think Ron finds the Sami/Belle kidnapping an amusing fact and almost thinks it funny to bring it up so often.  Like, realistically, I don't think Belle is still angry about a kidnapping that happened when she was a baby and can't remember.  And who told her about it and the details of her conception?  I can't imagine John/Marlena did.  I am really curious how she found out.  I imagined Sami just blurted it out one day off camera.

 Speaking of Sal and Lamon…

[SteelCity]

Yeah! Sarah is bad too! I always forget about her.

Sal probably left because she knows with Eli gone she's going straight to the Island of Lost Toys!

[Contessa Donatella]

Maybe after 7 years of playing Lani she is ready to try something else.

[SteelCity]

It would be nice to see some effort into mixing her up with some different characters. Does she have any friends? 

[Contessa Donatella]

Oops. My bad.

[AbcNbc247]

Interestingly, Sal just revealed on Dishin Days that she made the decision to leave about a year ago and the TR got her to stay on a little longer.

I stand by what I said. What were they going to do with her? Hook her up with Philip? Wait... I'm not mad at that!

[AbcNbc247]

Loved it when JJ called Gwen a bitch. I hope they have a scene together 

[ranger1rg]

In Will's first scene with Chad before the funeral, Chandler Massey couldn't even suppress his godawful stupid grin. The guy looks good, but he is one terrible actor. He cannot take ANYTHING seriously.

[Contessa Donatella]

Is it just nervous tension that he can't suppress? A good director or a good acting coach ought to be able to drum that out of him in just a few sessions.

[Soapsuds]

I haven't watched yet. I'll have to watch on peacock because of preemption but maybe Will was grinning because he knows now he'll get some Chad loving.

I don't want to actually defend CM because I have made fun of his constant smirking forever, but it does seem like a nervous tick or something because he can't be that bad at acting.   It has to be something he doesn't realize he is doing all the time.  I don't believe Days employs a good acting coach or director or even cares about a take if all the lines are vaguely right, so it probably won't change.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I think we can tell from the rest of his affect that he is not a bad actor. I think he's a pretty good one, who has this one thing that is really annoying! He could hire an acting coach & do some work & fix it. If anyone knows someone who knows him, do a good deed, say something! Careers are cut-throat enough. He could only help himself by fixing the only flaw I see.
