Days: April 2023 Discussion Thread

Seriously, good riddance.

Jamey just might have been the worst writer Days has ever had.

[DRW50]

Are there even any around now? I guess the Tyler Perry shows? 

It's smart of him to leave a sinking ship. If he could take the talentless hack who helped hire him, DAYS might be able to wrap up on a passable note (as long as Higley, Griffith, etc. aren't brought back).

Why anyone else would hire Jamey is beyond me. He is one horrific writer. He has no business being a writer. 

[DRW50]

I agree (although none of this can be worse than his Daytime Confidential writing), but if someone can get a writing job in today's deathbed industry, I guess they know what they're doing.

He knew what to do to get in Ron's good graces

I’m glad Shawn is now in Greece. He needed to be a part of this storyline as much as anybody else did. And he looked good too

That being said, that cliffhanger ending, WTF? It was really good and I didn’t expect it but it seemed a little out of character for Shawn, hence, why he should have been a part of this storyline more, so we could have had more understanding of his actions. 

I’m also curious as to what Roman is going to now that Andrew’s told him about Bo and Kate.

The John/Andrew scenes were good too. Him encouraging and supporting Andrew about Paul, once again, proves that John really is the best Soap Dad

So much good and bad in today's episode.

The acting by Peter Reckell and Josh Taylor was just awful.

That said the Bo and Hope scenes were good but the outdoor fake set was just bad....really bad.

Love seeing Ed but the scenes with her and the Scooby Doo gang was painful to watch. Billy Flynn couldn't even keep a straight face.

Steve escaping by the fake wall was laughable. The whole wall moved when Steve was barely touching it.

Loved loved the Andrew and John scenes. I felt a father/son bond in just those scenes. Great stuff!

The ending was shocking!  I expected Steve to maybe pull the trigger but not Shawn.

Sorry but all I see is a Jay Leno chin when they shoot a profile of the Andrew character. I can't get into him. He can leave now.

I Love Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. They have the same chemistry that they had 40 years ago. I wish they'd stay around. Bo and Hope forever. 

[Gray Bunny]

I love it. 

And the Carvers? 

In this day and age, are there any hit primetime soaps on network TV? 

It seems the only ones that last are procedurals.

So has Claire been erased completely? I mean today Hope tells "Bo" he's a grand father today through Ciara lol

[Soapsuds]

When did Bo "die"?  

Claire is an afterthought.

How the outdoor scenes were allowed is beyond me. It looked horrific onscreen. It looked so cheap. It looked like some amateur filmed it all.

[ranger1rg]

That was the worst CGI I have EVER seen in my entire life. This "Peacock Budget" thing is not working. My God. It was so bad it almost took my attention away from Peter Reckell's horrific acting in the Bo & Hope scenes. And the staging/direction of the shooting at the end of the episode could not have been more amateurish.

The Bo & Hope montage would have been good with a strong, well-known soundtrack. I know music is (supposedly) ridiculously expensive, but lame music torpedoes a great montage.

I’m slowly making my way through last week.

Eileen Davidson as Thomas Banks was hysterical to me. I’ve never seen the character before but it was amazing. Eileen is so good.

I enjoyed the DiMera sisters scenes in prison. Would be interesting to see the sisters take on all the brothers.

Knowing how limited of time we PR and KA they sure are dragging their feet.

I will say I like Hope and Harris together, so it’s a shame that’s gonna have to end.
