Days: March 2023 Discussion Thread

Definitely, but Li is especially puzzling.  He is the villian, but I swear some days I think the show wants me to feel bad for him.  Even the ending today.  Are we supposed to care he caught Gabi/Stefan together?  Sure she lied about where she was but she has been crystal clear about the fact that she loves Stefan and hates Li.  So I don't get the cliffhanger unless tomorrow he starts strangling them or something

It seems like they’re torn between writing him as a psycho camp villain or as a gray character.

I prefer the latter.

I wish they’d make a decision. For how he’s written and how Sloan is as well.

Question: If you had someone who kept insisting of having a drink with you, would it make you suspicious? If not at first, then how many times would it take? 

And yes, this is DAYS related.

At times, it was pretty soapy. But c'mon, man. Brandon Barash's acting wasn't very convincing at all. I mean, I can't even believe Li bought that crap. But, that's on his dumb ass.

Why is Li even running around town? He should be in prison. This soap is a complete joke.

Everyone's acting was horrible.

How was Sloan able to freeze Paulina's assets? Its ridiculous considering the case hasn't even been heard by a judge. Just stupid writing. It makes no sense. I'm so sick of the story too.

I think if RH was a stronger actor the grey aspect of his villainy would work better or they could just take him to full on psycho.  I think RS's limited ability is hampering what Days is trying to do with Li.  I can't believe they would cast Li's sympathetic sister and evil father if they didn't have investment in keeping him around.  We were absolutely supposed to feel bad about Li's dad berating him and bitch slapping him, but the scenes came off campy and funny instead.

I think BB is a decent actor.  The whole Jake accent thing was a miss, but he was quite good on GH. I think he's sorta lost his way on Days because the writing is so odd for Stefan, but I do think BB is quite capable.

@AbcNbc247I do think Sloan is written with some humanity.  I think the actress is weak as well, but I think she will end up a heroine.

I found the age vs. age thing with Sloane and Nicole a little stupid. Why society still uses older age as an excuse to belittle someone else is a pointless argument. I mean, we can't help the year we came out of our mother's uterus, you know?

Anyway, so about that obsessent "Want to Have a Drink?" thing. Umm ... I wouldn't be suspicious at first, but I think after the third or fourth time, I'd finally turn around to someone and ask: "Why does this punk ass bitch keep asking me if I want a drink?"

What Li's father needs is a frying pan to the face. I'm ready to make some fried chicken.

I'd cut Li's father some slack.  Li has to be a huge disappointment as a son and I can see why he wouldn't get the appeal of Gabi.  She's a teenage single mom that's been to prison multiple times, been in several serious relationships, has awful schemes that have included trying to kill Julie and blow up in her face 100% of the time and is completely obsessed with a man that is not Li currently.  I'd bitch slap Li too.  Gabi is not even worth the hassle and I like Gabi.  I can see why Daddy Shen is upset.

I don't. I see it at as emotionally abusive and I'm curious about their upbringing. We don't really know. Even though this is pure fiction, I think it's plausible to wonder. 

I'm different though. I won't be having anyone poppin' off their mouth on me. I'll get alley rat on ya.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
