DAYS: November 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Sigh... a little bit of effort goes a long way. If only they'd dress these folks more appropriately to reflect what time of year it is. Add to that, whenever they are supposed to be outside, why can't they add in a track of ambient outdoor noise? They'll do it occasionally but not consistently, and it's usually too low in volume. 

That would be good to see. I've always loved the complexities of Nicole being her own worst enemy, giving into impulses that she knows are ultimately wrong,  and sometimes biting off her own nose to spite her face. I can't hate on Nicole for overstepping and strongly hinting at Jada aborting the baby because that's a real-life thought process that anyone would secretly wish for; she just happened to blurt it outloud.

I know Nicole will get the brunt of the blame (and she deserves some), but the whole situation was handled poorly by all parties involved.  I know it was early in the pregnancy and things were changing quickly, but Eric wasn't communicating with Nicole properly nor did he really have a plan.  And of course Jada is making a bunch of quick decisions without telling Eric (I assume she's still pregnant though).  Frankly, if Nicole/Eric were planning on being together the three of them should have just sat down together and discussed the pregnancy and plans before any decisions were made.  But that wouldn't be soapy, so I guess we are on to break up 1 million for Eric/Nicole.

I am excited for the confrontation too.  I still think Nicole is going to get way too much blame.  She was wrong and ridiculous, but if Jada was that easily swayed to have an abortion by one conversation with someone she doesn't like or respect it's clear Jada wasn't fully committed to the pregnancy.

The thing about Gabi is she was wearing a weather appropriate, cute coat, so I am not sure how the dress/tunic/shirt she was wearing got past wardrobe.  The dress is not only seasonally off it's completely skimpy and ugly.  It's not only ridiculously short, but completely open with some sort of lingerie showing lol.   Even if CB is dressing herself-someone should have stepped in BTS even if it wasn't costuming lol

Ben aside, which agreed.  He did ruin her.  The way Ciara would dress would take me out of her scenes a lot and made me almost dislike VK because I felt it was her choice to look that sexy when the scene didn't call for it.  That actually makes me kind of petty, but I don't need to see her boobs to know she's beautiful and hot lol.  Marci Miller was the opposite-dressing super dowdy and prairie.  Everything MM, CB, and VK wore/wear are on trend, but they don't fit the character they are playing.  I think Chloe and Chanel are two characters that dress very on trend but still appropriate for their characters.

That's ironic because I while assume that Jada is still pregnant, my reaction was that I would be so disappointed if DAYS wrote a story about a woman lying about an abortion because it is so politically incorrect, especially after she used the line, "my body, my choice."

It's a much more powerful story if a former Catholic priest and a POC argue over her right to choose, the economic and cultural realities of raising a biracial baby while being a single mother, and their responsibilities to use contraception, rather than it all being about a middle-aged, privileged, white woman manipulating a man into her seventh marriage.

Yeah, I immediately though she was still pregnant just by the last scene yesterday.

I don't get the feeling Jada necessarily wants Eric or wants to manipulate him exactly.  If she is still pregnant she is just doing that old self-sacrificing trope to protect everyone as the reason for her deception.  If she is still pregnant it would have been a less inflammatory choice for Jada to say she had a miscarriage.  I think this is Days trying to be edgy or progressive here.

The show didn't seem to be going there over the right to choose to begin with.  Eric instantly accepted it was her choice, but he didn't like the circumstances or how she went about it.  I thought there would have been a little more push back from Eric too.  I find Eric's beliefs and behavior rarely line up with the Catholic Church.  In fact, Eric doesn't seem particularly religious lol.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
