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!!

    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
