DAYS: November 2022 Discussion Thread ⌛

Yes. And once again, he looked absolutely gorgeous 

But I've said that before a million times 

That's what I'm afraid of. The storylines are reminding me of how ATWT was in its final years, where things happened but there was, ultimately, no effects, payoffs, no transition into the next part of the storyline, etc. 

Something happens but then everything goes back to normal. Like with Shawn/Belle, Xander/Sarah and a lot of others too.

Yeah, there is no drama or tension or payoff.  A windstorm knocked out my internet during Days yesterday and I thought I almost finished it, but I still had 27 mins left

As for today, I really liked the way Stephanie dresses.  Sonny was cute.  That's it.  

Also, I appreciate the Julie flashbacks, but that wasn't even SSH playing Julie lol.

Gawd I hate Allie!

The actress playing Sloane can't act worth sh!t!

Stephanie looks hot in that dress.

Why is Sonny acting like a prude when sex is bein talked about?

Please register in order to view this content



"Days" honored its original cast today by airing a flashback featuring all six contract actors who appeared in the pilot episode on November 8, 1965: Macdonald Carey (Tom), Frances Reid (Alice), John Clarke (Mickey), Marie Cheatham (Marie), Charla Doherty (Julie) and Dick Colla (Tony), along with guest actor Robert J. Stevenson (Detective).

It had to be one of the sh!test celebration. Using Julie stealing 57 years ago as reason to celebrate with a cake. Where was the current cast to celebrate?

The election story was just awful.

Any wonder this soap is off the air?

Ron Carlivati is one horrible writer.

It's just odd.  They could show those og flashbacks as some sort of sidenote and cut OG Julie out, but Days has more veterans than any other soap.  They couldn't use actual flashbacks of those people?  Lol!  It's not like this show doesn't have a boatload of actors that have been on this show for 20 plus years or anything......

Were we just supposed to not notice it was a different Julie because SSH is old now and CD does/did look like her 55 years ago?

The anniversary episode was like so many things on the show right now: a good idea, but a very poor execution. I still stand by the idea that Days needs new breakdown writers.

I am curious though, what year did the Horton house set lose the door that led to Tom’s office?

I agree that Days need new breakdown writers ASAP.

The Doug/Julie stuff was just randomly thrown into an otherwise basic episode with Chanel, Leo, Allie, Alex etc.  I would have set the episode up with Doug/Julie and their flashback, add John/Marlena and Kayla/Steve each reminiscing about something important to them-they could even be telling it to Belle or Stephanie/Tripp/Joey respectively, have Maggie think about Mickey (perhaps equating a struggle Mickey/Maggie had to help Sarah/Xander), and then have Abe tell Paulina an important moment from history.  Voila!  A full anniversary episode.

I don't know why 1 entire episode couldn't be devoted to honoring the show's history.  I know I could have waited an extra day to see what Sloane and Leo were doing.  It was truly the most minimal effort on Ron's part here.

Sloane is mostly a miss for me, but she didn't bother me today.  Why was the pub so dark though?  It's like half the lighting was missing and Sloane was lit fine, but Chad was in the dark and so were the other patrons lol.  Ron and Jamey clearly find Leo much more entertaining than everyone else in the world. 

And honestly, unless Chanel killed Stefano Dimera himself with her bare hands as a teen I don't get all the suspense about her "murder" victim.  I haven't read spoilers so it could be something good, but I assume it's just an abusive ex boyfriend or something.

Exactly. That's been on my mind in recent months (years?) with this whiplash writing of one dramatic crisis after another with NO aftermath. No trauma, no reflection, no time to sit back, breath, re-assess, and really have ANY character growth. 

For Christ's sake, how many characters had their minds & bodies taken over by Satan this past year?!? 

Add to that, new characters introduced are poorly developed without any specific character traits. I mean, who IS Jada?

It's kind of like they said, oh Sal Stowers (Lani) is leaving, so we have to replace one black female cop with another black female cop.  How can we connect her to the canvas? Oh, what about Marcus? And they left it at that.  I *want* to love Jada because she's Marcus' daughter. But they haven't made her a unique individual, a real person yet.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
