Watching today's episode. Days is so bad and boring. It is just whimpering on. Nothing of substance happening. That Li guy is not a good actor. The double date is embarrassing. I truly hope that Corday and Carlivati realize why NBC took the show off their network and moved it to where very few viewers will watch. NBC didn't cancel Days outright. They just moved it to Peacock where it will die very very very very quietly.

Yeah... today was a little cringey.

I know that Alex and Sonny have pretty much been de-aged but I think the show forgot that Alex is supposed to be in his 30s, and not some dumbass frat boy. And I mean, if Uncle Ron wants to write a Days porn parody, he should go ahead and do it and not project it onto the main show 😂

And I know this is a nitpick and probably the script writer's fault, but why are they acting like Alex has no idea that Allie is his brother in law's sister? Even if they've never met, he should know who she is. And I fear that they're going to make the same mistake with Gabi tomorrow.

The dinner was nice, but if they go there with an EJ/Ava/Johnny triangle, I hope they manage to weave in Shawn and Belle, and hopefully some unresolved feelings for EJ. And if they manage to add Jada/Eric/Nicole/Rafe into all that, then the show would have a pretty good mess on their hands. A mess that I'd love to see.

Alex is just a waste of space. Robert Scott Wilson should've been fired instead of him basically playing Ben again.

So EJ and Belle are over? Lololol

EJ/Ava/Johnny....I'm sure EJ will just use her to get Dimera shares....

I doubt this will amount to nothing just like the rest of Ron Carlivati stories.

It looks like it, but I hope it isn't. They need to invest more in characters and storylines and not just rush through everything

I would truly love to know. What i did to you for you to write me off. A benign silly comment about Jensen Ackles's butt. When you make lascivious comments constantly. I don't ever want to be your friend again. Not going to lie. I miss you and our back-and-forth banter. Was always a highlight of being on here. But tell me what pissed you off so badly? I always treated you with kindness and friendship. Even went to that old, empty message board. When you self-exiled yourself there. I hope you don't turn on ABC for no reason. That's a good kid. Who doesn't deserve that. https://soapoperaworld.freeforums.net/board/1/general-discussion#content

The show IS SO BAD RIGHT NOW. I can see why NBC is dumping it. 

1. I really wanted EJ/Belle to go go for a lot longer. Have her get knocked up and everyone thinking it was EJ's baby, but plot twist, ended up being Shawn's after we discover they hooked up one drunkin night.

2.The Dimera shares just bug me. I still don't know what they own or run, since they don't explain it. Its all about their shares, but then you have stakeholders? Business storylines are terrible on this show.

I would have Ava, who takes full control of Basic Black and Countess Wilhemina Cosmetics in a hostile takeover after being neglected and losing money, both which were part of the Dimera Enterprise and MadWorld Cosmetics from Titan with the help of Jake and Xander. Make them become successful online companies and see Dimera and Titan start losing power.

3. RSW is just a terrible actor. They should have cast someone better to play Alex. I would have stolen from Y&R Michael Mealor and casted him as Alex. Sonny and Alex, I would start to reconcile their relationship, like they had a riff and start to bond as brothers. Their focus is trying to save Titan from an utter collapse with new ideas, that all seem to fail. Rumors start circling around Salem, that a foreign company is looking to buy Titan to liquate its assets.

@KMan101 Who doesn't like Carson? It's his acting that sucks!

Guuurl, you know he has better pictures. If you don't load those sweaty hot pictures of when he encountered Craig in the square. 😜

No offense to RSW (Alex feels like a mix between AMC Pete and DAYS Ben) but yeah, they shouldn't have. Missed opportunity. Alex feels throwaway.

 

Meanwhile, it was nice to see Eric and Belle sharing scenes. They moved way too fast with EJ/Belle, unless they knock her up. Ron loves his baby storylines. "They're easy". Anvil mighta been dropped with Belle all "no thanks to Jan's spawn being Shawn's" ... what goes around comes around ...

 

I love Jada Hunter already. So glad she's Marcus Hunter's daughter. I like Jada/Eric. 

 

Nicole feels so bland with Rafe. I'd re-pair Kate/Rafe honestly but that ship long sailed.

 

Enjoyed Chad/Thomas and CadyJennifer. "Hi cousin Shawn". Awww.

 

Leo's still a trip. So annoyed they dumped Craig. 

 

I don't mind Nancy/Clyde (on paper they work, and it's great to see Patrika Darbo still being used and I love James Reade). She in her heyday was a conniving bitch, so it makes sense but they play them wrong (a running theme with the main show).

 

I did miss a bit. Did Sami and Lucas get married OFF SCREEN?

 

And they made a point to have Gabi say she was 9 years old. I was half expecting a teenage Arianna at this point but maybe they keep her where she should be age-wise. Like Will is basically the age he should be.

 

Ugh at the Brady/Belle aging (much like Claire was aged too fast but ORK made it work) ... I've bitched a lot about it. It's also glaring because Brady/deadAbby should be in the same group and now with Alex, RSW is more a contemporary to Sonny than his older brother. Just yikes moves at times that jar the show. Easy mistakes they shouldn't make. Would it have killed them to just, sorry but, let RSW go? I'm sure B&B would hire him.

Don't you throw RSW on B&B? 😜

Good seeing your post though.

lol you just know he'd end up there.

 

Today was cringey as [!@#$%^&*].

 

Allie and Chanel have great chemistry though and Ava/Johnny will totally hit the sheets.

 

The dialogue felt so forced.

 

No offense to Trevor Donovan either but Alex reminds me of Jeremy. Cringe and a waste when they could do better. Although Donovan was far more appealing.

Now don't even put that out into the universe.

 

But seriously yes...Alex does remind me of Jeremy. Except I am not wanting to touch the sky.

What was the point in that double date? I'm so lost. 😄 That had to be the dumbest thing I've seen in about a day or two. Also, what is up with Alex Kiriakis and the noises he makes with plastic spoons/straws? Yeah, I don't know much about Alex Kiriakis, but I'm still seeing RSW as what's his face again? Ben? 

Although I'm not a fan of Anna, I did enjoy her poking fun at that apartment. To the right is your kitchenette area. Outside the kitchenette, you've got yourself a queen size bed and a lovely Big Lots dining room table. Need to go to the bathroom while eating dinner? You can conveniently excuse yourself and take two steps to the left while your company eats their food while you go potty.

So what happens when VK doesn't book any jobs?  Is RSW going to do double duty and play Ben?  Are we expected to pretend Alex/Ben aren't the same actor?  Perhaps Victoria will become a huge movie star, but history has told us she usually comes back after a few months.  This Alex stuff has been really dumb so far.  I don't know why the show couldn't wait a few months to bring RSW back.

I'm with people who don't understand how they do business stories with the DiMera family so straightfaced. That's a function of Dena Higley not understanding tone, IMO. I guess you can make a case for the younger generations like Chad or E.J. or the Stefans/Jakes, or even poor Tony trying to go straight, fine, but with Rolf and Kristen still running around it kind of puts the lie to them being a sane dynasty. I don't dislike business stories, but I have a hard time buying DiMera business stories on DOOL, lol.

They will 100% do this after the Kristen debacle and it is just pure hubris and IMO comes out of Ron Carlivati's mind. I think people put some stuff on him unfairly that is institutional, even when there are many bad things that are clearly his brainchild. But this just seems like the same kind of ego that led to the OLTL/GH mess, something Frank Valentini has only quadrupled down on since Ron left ABC. I assume seeing what GH has done since with this kind of chicanery has made Ron think 'sure, why not, I'm the only game in town and people like me, I can do what I want.'

If you were going to bring Wilson back (and I don't dislike him, unlike a lot of people; he's no thespian but he works hard in [!@#$%^&*] positions) they could've at least revealed that Ben was, idk, a Kiriakis distant relation or something at the last second, and used that to lampshade the problem and let people acknowledge a resemblance with Alex.

Yeah! One flat ass for another! Pfft. Tanner isn't that great an actor either. He always comes across unnatural, like he's very directed in every move.
