Days: January 2023 Discussion Thread

Allie was my favorite DAYS character until this week.  I still love her but she's been written horribly this week.  I have to say Lindsay Arnold did good acting while portraying the horribleness of Allie this week, which I guess is a backhanded compliment or something.

Sigh. I believe in acknowledging when my faves mess up.  I can understand Allie's insecurity. but ... her insecurity coming out as coldness was just awful.

I absolutely hate with a thousand suns that Allie and Alex are probably going to hook up.  I gather the actress is leaving at some point (only because she's now on recurring) but what a way to ruin a character before they leave.

I actually liked Allie too for a long time.  I don't think she's irredeemable or anything and still has tons of potential. She's just so mean lol.  I am not sure if it's the writing or LA's delivery, but Allie comes off like a miserable person while Chanel still seems so nice and undeserving of this treatment.  I do think Sami and Lucas being MIA really does a disservice to the character and they tend to island Allie with Chanel/Abe/Paulina most of the time except for this week.

Allie and Alex would be a great pairing! I can fast forward all their scenes.

This heaven 3.0 again is absurd and always done horribly.

So Marlena dies and we get no scenes between her and Will? Whatever!

That was just the worst.  Chandler made the effort to visit LA and they didn't give him a scene with Deidre.

Another thing.  Marlena raised Carrie.  Christie Clark lives in England ... but from Christie's instagram, she was visiting the USA last summer (Los Angeles and New Orleans).  They could have taped one scene ... even if it was Carrie in Switzerland on video chat.  But they didn't.

I loved Carrie and Carrie/Marlena/John's relationship.  I wish Christie was able to tape.

@AbcNbc247It's tough to beat Joss as the worst, but Allie is trying.  If she actually slept with Alex she would win IMO.  

Listen, the devil is somehow involved in all this now through Susan and I can see all the nice things I said about recent shows going to literal hell quickly lol.

OK, Marlena's afterlife story is giving Austin in the Garden of Eden vibes.

But, I appreciate that they are balancing the absurd with the stories of Allie and Eric.  I like the pairing of Eric and Sloan, the writing is interesting because there are no secrets between them and they have guilt-free sex, which is something that we haven't seen in daytime for ages.  I know the actress playing Sloan gave a bad first impression, and the whole off-screen plot about her parent's death is silly, but I think they have good chemistry as a couple, and I enjoy their dialogue.  

Similarly, Paulina's scene with Stephanie today was fun.  If we ignore the fact that nobody in Salem seems to be very productive (when was the last time the bakery was open?), I like the mix of characters and I also like that despite the fact it is a story about death, it is not too dark or brooding.

You know, I wonder if there are people in real life that really do wanna have sex immediately after they lose a loved one. I know I didn't

Still, Eric and Sloan are good together though. I still can't believe that I enjoy them as much as I do.

The John/Abe scenes were really good. I always enjoy when the writers take the time to write friendship scenes like that. I was also liking the acoustics in the hospital roof set too. It almost sounded like they really were filming outdoors.

I did laugh though when Marlena said Kate was always a good friend to her and a good person. Was she being a good friend when she set your child up to be sentenced to death? Doc is very forgiving 

As for the twist, I admit I didn't see it coming, but why exactly do we have to deal with this devil crap again. Has he been relegated to just popping up every so often to be a pain in the ass, like Orpheus, Clyde and Jan?

And, f**k you Allie, just sayin.

Ehhh... I still think Joss is worse 

Judging by the way they play their characters, it almost seems like Allie knows she a nasty, horrible person and just doesn't care, whereas Joss actually thinks she a good person, but doesn't realize how disgusting she is

Plus, in Allie's case, you have a head writer who's clearly gunning for her. Chris and Dan, Idk what they're trying to do over at GH.

Eric was pretty wasted....at his family's bar....and no one stopped him.  So maybe?  I like Sloan and Eric and the actress is getting better.

I'll allow Kate/Marlena being good friends because overall they were dating back to the 70's or whenever.  And putting Sami on death row?  At times understandable lol...

Do you think Ron is gunning for Allie?  I think it's in LA's delivery.  She's a good actress, but she's very cold at times.  I think she's actually giving the material an extra bit of sharpness.

As far as what's going on with Joss on GH?  Idk, it's like she's a mini Carly without any depth.  Like she's made of sunshine and roses without any complexity her mother or even father had.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
