DAYS: July 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

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.

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.

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.

    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
