Days: January 2023 Discussion Thread

It was nice to see Paulina sticking up for Stephanie today. I really like the Paulina/Stephanie friendship. I hope they keep playing it. 

Sarah bringing up Xander’s lingering feelings for Gwen was really interesting as well. It was a dynamic of this storyline that hasn’t really been explored  yet and I hope they continue to do so.

Overall, a good episode but I’m beyond tired of Rolf. It’s time for him to go away and never come back. He can take Leo with him

Exactly. It's beyond overkill at this point. I hate Stephanie's self-righteousness about everything.

And speaking of self-righteous, so is Sarah. You mean she never teamed up with Xander in ways that were wrong and that hurt other people?

These guys -- Alex, Chad, Xander -- all are problematic LOL...but they're more real and less nauseating than these women.

Indeed! And, what exactly is out there beyond the rim past overkill?! I don't even have a word for the gigantic amount of unbalanced story they have stacked onto one poor cellphone. 

Of the men I cannot stand Alex and Leo. Of the women I cannot stand Gwen and Sloan. Stephanie, I used to like if she would just shut up about the phone. Meanwhile I think it's been 8 days since we were in White Space with Charlie's Angels. The show has been out of balance for more than a year I believe, I know it's not a new complaint, but it is bugging me more now.

A really cute video and I find it endearing that they don't have Encyclopedia-like knowledge of their characters the way fans do. It reminds me of when the actresses of The Golden Girls would share anecdotes from the show and get lines and details all wrong when we diehard fans can quote them like Gospel.

I swear I still think it's hilarious!! But, I think they're at a strict disadvantage about remembering. They have all these lines to learn. Okay, I get that. But, then, the other half is that they have to forget that day to make room to memorize the next day! And, apparently they are very good at the forgetting half!

Anyway, that's my theory & I'm sticking with it.

Sick of and wish DAYS would axe..........Leo, Gwen, Xander, Rolf, Orpheus, Sloan(re-cast, I think the character would work with a good actress), Kristen, the Devil/Susan. 

Put on Contract  & Leave ON Contract---- Cady McClain(Jennifer), a good recast for Allie (since heard Lindsay Arnold is leaving soon), Tanner Stine(Joey), Lucas Adams(Tripp) and Bryan Dattilo(Lucas). Bring on a permanent recast for Rex Brady, although, maybe even give Kyle Lowder a contract, since he's improved. Bring on Cassie, maybe Mike, Parker, Chloe's sister, maybe Alex's other brothers.

I have been on vacation and haven't watched since Wednesday or Thursday, but you guys aren't inspiring me to turn it on.

  Obviously, I'll get around to it, but I really checked out when Susan was the gatekeeper/devil in Heaven.  

LA is leaving?   I mean I hate smug Allie as I have said, but that's a shame..  I am the worst about spoilers lol.  I am always too lazy to read spoilers or any recaps except from you guys on this board.

    • 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.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
