DAYS: September 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

I admit it. It was good for me to actually be in the groove the show is set in. Instead of thinking "that's not Roman!" LOL

I think the writer's room is not concerned with things making sense. What else can it be? Kristen's got like clearance to say anything she wants & no one can challenge her really. Belle's objecting but not nearly enough!

They just play so fast & loose with reality. It's really discouraging. They actually do some things right & then they just let sh*t happen, i guess because they want to not because it logically could happen!

With Kristen saying anything and ripping on John, Belle could have really gone down a whole rabbit hole and said remember when you were engaged to my dad and wanted nothing more to have his baby?  And also kidnapped my mother and almost killed me as a child with a poisoned chocolate?   Kristen never was convicted of any of those things, so free game.  What about the whole Tate situation where Kristen stole eggs or whatever she did to have that child?

Even Kristen could have focused in on Brady's addiction issues instead of focusing on the issue of Phillip.   I literally can't even think about this waste of time because it's so frustrating and I think of everything that's wrong with a hearing even being allowed.

I don't really care whether Marlena is a Dr or not.  I was just vaguely interested in seeing actual repercussions from the Devil Possession Part 2 and hoping it all wouldn't be forgotten in 5 mins.   But then again I really wanted it to end in the first place so I can't complain.

This custody hearing has been maddening to watch. Like @carolineg says, it makes no damn sense that NOTHING Kristen has ever done can be brought up just because she was pardoned. She raped Eric on film! She held John and Marlena's entire 2018 wedding at gunpoint! She kidnapped Sami right before that! She held Nicole captive and impersonated her! Even the way Rachel was conceived is sketchy as hell. There are a LOT of crimes (and just crazy actions) that weren't a part of what she just got pardoned for. And a pardon doesn't wipe your record -- it wipes your sentence. She's still a recently convicted felon who broke out of jail and went on the run numerous times.

You just listed so many great things I didn't even touch on and there is so much more!   Not to mention why didn't anyone get a written letter or skype testimony from Theresa?  Wouldn't Theresa's word and their amicable, working custody agreement hold more weight than Chloe or John testifying?

You know, if Kristen at least had a savvy, conniving lawyer (even EJ) perhaps I could buy some of this, but the idiot was representing herself.  

I feel like I usually eyeroll Days.  I can take the Devil and some other nonsense because it's all silly to begin with.  This custody hearing was taken dead seriously so it's much more frustrating.

Now if the writer's room had let Belle let loose too! Well, that would've been a custody hearing to write home to ma about! They could have been battling legal bots! Could even have been surreal & as long as each side got their shots in it would have been a fair fight, a strange fight, but hell, it was a strange fight as we had it!

 

Okay, you lost me. Why not hold a hearing? If the parties are no longer both happy with the custody agreement & facts in evidence have changed, which they have, because Kristen is no longer in prison, has a job, has a place to live, etc. Seems foolproof. No?

Today in my FB Memories for the day was the first day I was reporting that DOOL really is revisiting the DevilDoc story one more time for god's ?? sake & doing my best imitation of a mini-rant of how much I hated that idea. And, soon I just wanted it to be over!

Watched today's episode. So after all that Clyde Weston is the killer?

That's not shocking. I guess I should be relieved it wasn't Craig. 

The Sonny and Ben 2.0 Titan garbage is just that. I don't care for obvious reasons.

Jennifer's addition story would've been good had it gradually happened and not just come out of nowhere. I did like Jennifer's scenes with Gwen.

Seriously there's nothing shocking about Clyde being the killer. Isn't that what Ron said? I thought it was Clyde from the beginning . There were really no twists and turns or much of anything to this ridiculous murder mystery and the attack on Sonny. The story was poorly done.

Okay, I've seen the show now, and spoilers away! That was an interesting way to let us know it's Clyde with him flashing back to himself holding the knife & looking at Sonny. I guess that's the way his ego & id would work where he was seeing Sonny in his hospital bed & remember, aha, the moment before he attacked him. I've been more than ready to see Clyde Weston as more overtly evil. So Craig's return was just a big ole red herring. At least he got to holler at Leo & rough him up a little bit. I can't figure why Clyde is in such a godawful hurry to marry Nancy TODAY. Nancy, poor Nancy, I guess tomorrow is going to be an out of the ballpark terrible day for her.

I enjoyed Sonny taking a piece out of Alex's hide but I would because I don't like Alex & I do like Sonny. And, I wish Alex would quit pushing Stephanie. More than enough already!

Yeah, they are taking Jenn's story very steep & fast. I wonder if they will have Gwen rat Jenn out to Jack & use that as a redemption ploy. I don't know why I keep hoping that Gwen & Leo will both go away. Everyone says they're both on RonC's charmed lists. Jenn in the car & after in the promo worries me quite a bit.

I thought we were supposed to be shocked by this murderer. Clearly I need to have my shockometer in for a tune-up.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
