@Tonksadora PLEASE stop spamming the board with the metrics crap. Days is not on NBC. Stop posting that Days is #22 out of 78 shows on NBC. Days is no longer on NBC. Stop with the spam posts.

FYI, it's been only two Salem days since Marlena died. Each Salem day has aired over almost a week of episodes.

I had wondered about that & had lost track!

I would be glad to ignore you if you would return the favor. But, don't tell lies & inaccuracies about me or what I post. We can agree to disagree & that would be great. And, listen, you can set it up to literally ignore me so you won't be bothered.

Thank you!  Now that you brought that clip over I completely remember.  I am getting old lol!  It's lovely as was the entire funeral.  I guess Anna has a knack for this and that's why she got chosen for this assignment.

I’ve rewatched this recently and I was blown away by the whole thing… the dialogue was fire during the Sheffer era (though the stories were not lol) and coupled with Ed Scott’s production—in retrospect it’s like a golden era lolol.

Well anyhow, with a 31 minutes run, or 34/35 as some are listed, I wonder what the game plan would've been had they aired on NBC as originally planned. Bulk it up with needless multi-minute flashbacks? 

Considering the cast used to get called back to film filler scenes it wouldn't surprise me if that would've been done to beef it up - plus I could imagine that they did a lot of creative re-cutting of episodes in the past, so scenes from those episodes that are 40+ minutes might've been used in earlier episodes.

Oh, yeah, the obit sucked eggs. 

That was on the Salem Spectator website. Good grief, that is just awful. And no mention of age, tee-hee. 

I hope her deal with the devil means that she comes back pregnant with a reborn Stefano as a part of the deal.

I mean! No mention of Carrie. Poor grammar. YUCK! I wanna know who wrote it? Props?

Hmm, is a phoenix term 9 months? Anyone know? Seriously, miss Joe M. 

Cringey camp, petty bitchfights, historical references. Yep, this had to be a Jamey episode. Too bad that good streak he was on ended so quickly. I did like the references to DJ and Samantha though.

I understand Steve’s anger and his plan to kill Orpheus but it seems kind of random to me. The last time we saw him, it didn’t seem like he was planning anything like this at all. And he was a little rude shooing that couple out of the Pub 😂😂

I can’t believe it took them this long to follow up on Marlena, Kate and Kayla. They really got to fix those pacing problems. And I see that the devil eyes are now CGI instead of contact lenses.

And Jordan? That girl looks like she’s been under the knife more than a stick of butter. Why so many surgeries lol

Chrishell was almost unrecognizable in that promo. I am curious how this show is doing on Peacock (and what a full Jamey Giddens-scripted episode looks like 😶) so I will have a look.

Yeah, they could have had their secret meeting at any one of their motel 6 looking apartments!

Pacing is Problem ONE! But is it something they're concerned with?

Huh. I didn't notice. I do know that now she has a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend.

Carolyn Culliton did the script & the co-EP Peacock point man, Al Alarr directed. CCulliton's twitter name is Old Bat Number such & such. I like the attitude.

Jamey is a breakdown writer for Days, not a scriptwriter.  He usually does one breakdown a week.  He tweeted that he did today (Feb 3)

Today (Feb 3) episode's script was written by Carolyn Culliton

Edit, I see that was just posted above.

FYI, the previous issue of SOD said Chandler was done with this arc, as Will had left town to work on a movie.  The new issue of SOD says whoops, he actually appears a few more times before the end of this arc.
(I know this isn't a spoiler thread. I just wanted to clarify that one thing.)

I just about rolled my eyes out of my sockets when they had it be New Zealand where he has to go to shoot! Good Lord. New Zealand? Is this movie on a scale with the LOTR saga?

I just realized what I want to happen in White Space! I am guessing that Marlena makes a deal with the devil. I'd like her to bring Adrienne back with them. Here''s Judi, the Horse Whisperer, from her IG.

just had a thought

Interesting. Dorell is off the Writing Team now & his last episode was the other day. I believe he had a 6 month contract, so long enough to get attached to coworkers. And, he's still watching the show & tweeting. Kewl.

I guess I'll tune back in when his episodes air.
