DAYS: September 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Yeah they did.  I just think Stefan's previous history made it a bad move from the start and you really can't come back from that.  Unless you're Ben lol.  I think Ron screwed up Stefan from the jump, but I don't think he actually screwed them up as a couple.  I cut some slack due to TC's personal issues as well.

I mean, ideally they should've known this move would happen when they got renewed for 2 years - personally, I would've liked to see most storylines tied up and then a(nother) time jump leading into a soft reboot on Peacock. But alas, NBC did make this decision at the very last minute so we can't get nice things.

I am sooooo tired of Kristen. She's not a fun villain anymore. She's just annoying and pathetic. 

I also don't get why they keep bringing Orpheus back for these lame kidnappings every year.

I absolutely hate creepy Alex and his Stephanie obsession. The only good thing about him is that he gives ZT/Sonny more airtime. I do like the new Stephanie but unfortunately she's stuck in Alex hell. 

The Sloan actress is horrendous. I'm assuming they're testing her with Rafe since Racole aren't for long. I'm loving Ericole longing for each other. Sorry Jada! 

I'm curious about Ava/Johnny just because it's so random. I wouldn't mind if EJ banged her either LOL. My boy needs something to do besides whine about DiMera Enterprises. 

I'm all signed up for Peacock Premium

Kristen is absolutely a character that could just pop up when Eileen wants to appear.  I have always questioned the decision to keep her full time and to give her a child with Brady. 

Orpheus clearly just fills the void Stefano left and kidnaps Marlena yearly.  If production was better and Orpheus was more adept I would appreciate him more.  I really thought Orpheus was a good, scary villian in the 80's.

I like the new Stephanie.  I really agree about Alex.  It's weird they are boxing RSW in with a newbie and hoping it works out.  He can interact with a lot of other characters and so can she.

I like that Jada has a strong personality and feels like she's getting decent development, but I find her personality pretty grating.   I think the actress is good and I will wait and see I guess. 

Sloan is whatever.  It's clear she's going toward Rafe and I don't care about him, so I won't care about her lol.

I like Ava/Johnny as well.

You & me, too! Stacy is not doing it for me. And, Kristen just has nothing about her character that would cause her to be manic!

I love Jada. I have no problems with her but I know some do. Love Stephanie. Cannot abide Alex.

I can't stand Sloan. However, Rafe is more interesting when he is hollering at her than any other time, so, there's that.

I have never liked Orpheus. I have never liked Johnny. But, Ava does make him more tolerable, so, there's that. It's like these guys are "character conditioners". LOL

 

And, @AlexElizabeth I agree with everything you said.

I loved Kristen and I do think Stacy gives it her all, but Kristen should have bigger fish to fry than Chloe Lane and trying to reunite with her (almost) former stepson.  The idea of Kristen/Brady (with Eileen) was great, but making them a weird lovestory doesn't work.

Jada is okay.  I don't think she's a bad character, but I personally don't like her at this point.  It could change.  

Yeah, I literally think the new Stephanie is a great find.  I am excited to see what she does (outside of Alex).

Orpheus was so scary to me as a kid.  He wasn't campy like Stefano back then.  He was just straight up psycho and deranged.  These days none of his plans make any sense and always fail.  The scary thing about Orpheus back in 86 is that his plan worked.  Marlena 'died' for semi-real-for 5 years.

Carson Boatman just isn't a very good actor.  I don't think Johnny is a bad character really and hopefully CB gets better.  I do think he's cute and charming.

Kristen is horrible. I hate the actress in the role. She sucks here and she did on YR.

Stephanie in Alex hell is a great way to put it! I couldn't agree more!!

If I wasn't signed up already Billy would've convinced me too.

No he's not!

Tomato tomatoe....all the same ...would've loved to see Chandler promote it that way too!!

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
