Days: February 2023 Discussion Thread

In Columbus, MS, where I went to university and lived for a time there are 2 dozen antebellum homes & some of them are on display year-round & some of them are just annually at Pilgrimage. Sometimes hostesses are garbed in antebellum dresses, complete with layers of petticoats & hoops. Most is about the historical aspect of the house, and the flowers which are in bloom during Pilgrimage & the architecture. Columbus was missed by Grant because the railroad didn't go there. So, there was a field hospital that was used for everyone, both sides of the army & people of color as well. Friendship Cemetery is the location of the first Decoration Day because the women of the town put flowers on everyone's graves, no distinction was made for Yankee or Rebel or person of color. I know sometimes people go there expecting the worst but they seem to handle things with some forethought & sense. I'm sure some people are put off by it still existing. Yet they consider it tourism. It's tricky.

I knew we weren’t going to see the funerals. In some ways, it’s better that way because there’s no chance in hell that the show would ever be able to explain why there were so few people there. Hopefully, that changes now. And hopefully, this Heaven stuff ends too. 

I still don’t Iike Allie, but at the same time, I think she deserves better than what Ron has given her #biphobe 

And yeah, we totally should have seen how Kayla was able to contact Steve from Heaven. 

I’ll miss Will and Sonny, but it’s for the best. See how much I was against a Sonny/Leo pairing that I would rather Sonny be offscreen. I’m sure they’ll pop in from time to time. And yes, they are better parents for Ari than Gabi is

And as for the Devil, all I can say is

We need characters like Tripp on the canvas to balance out all the selfish scumbags

Hahaha! Asparagus of all side dishes served on Valentine's Day. God. But at least I have fun with it. Is today heaven day? I just got back from the gym and could use a good laugh. Actually, you know what? It's so cold, windy, and rainy I'm in the mood to wear ugly hospital socks, cute sweatpants and hoodie and just dive right into the bed covers while I watch DAYS. Yay! I'm so excited!

Honestly, Tripp playing video games at home was the most responsible reaction of any of the kids that lost their parents although we have no idea how Belle took it since she disappeared lol.

The Kayla/Steve dream/vision/visit seemed like such a John/Marlena thing to happen.  I am surprised John was skeptical when Steve told him after all the ridiculous things that have happened to them.

Allie leaving is really random.  She's not just an employee at sweet bits she's a partner, correct?  She's just going to leave Chanel high and dry on that end?  Not that I think Allie does much for the business, but that's messed up lol.  All of this is so rushed, but I guess it's a happy ending-ish.  I guess Nicole can move back into her apartment now.  Or Wendy can get a bedroom if Chanel keeps it.

As far as the devil, it's all so silly.  If it moved quicker I may tolerate it, but we see this once a week.  Get on with it please.

Okay, Steph & two men & cellphonegate & being incompetent at her job, check. 

Eric drinking too much & screwing Sloan like crazy, check.

What has Rex done? I mean beside boink once with Sarah who is his Achilles heel, that it?

Oh, I was figuring the apartment would go to its ownership & Chanel would be looking for a place & Wendy would be looking for a place. And, time in White Space incredulously is now at once every 8 flipping days! We shall see what we shall see, I guess.

Is anyone else surprised that Allie isn't moving to South Africa? 

There seems to be a thriving South African/Salem ex-pat community filled with Claire, Shawn, JJ, Theo, and Belle.  I always forget if Rex lives there, or in Paris (the other Salem outpost).  Kayla, Patch, Eric, and Bill Horton lived there once, and it figured prominently in the DAYS book A Stirring from Salem (the best one in the unfinished trilogy from Sheri Anderson). 

However, they may be difficult to find because DAYS scripts always just refers to it as South Africa, and never specifies the city.

Belle came back. Shawn's temporary. Permanent res is Claire, Theo & JJ. And, I've heard Johannesburg once or twice. I'm sure it was a splurge. It reminds me of Ed Bauer on GL who was off & on in .... you got it, ... AFRICA! And, DOOL had the corner covered on boarding school in Switzerland, for years.

Personally I don't think the show is worse. I think it's just as bad as it was a year ago and that is unbearably sad, awful, depressing, etc. They've already spent some of that peacock money. New cameras, we can see, promos for Megan coming & Bope coming, they've spent money there & betw Feb. 24 & mid-March we will see that. I don't think anyone knows about whatever else is on the till, do they? I mostly want to know if the new writing is going to solve any of the writing problems. I'm very afraid of it being new writing, same problems.

I'm still waiting for looser scripts. So far there hasn't been much change.

I don't know whether to hope for Peacock to micromanage the show or not. Typically that's a disaster but surely an executive somewhere will tell them to stop with the dumb stuff before they renew.

Ron needs a co-HW.

    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
