Days: May 2023 Discussion Thread

Lol!  I thought Lord Sebastian was related to Dmitri somehow too.  Like a cousin?  But I think I might be confusing the Alamains and Von Leuschers because of Carly or something.  Oh well, it doesn't matter.  Both families fall into the obscure early 90's rich aristocratic families that make no sense.

More than half the cast is played out. Gwen is one and rumors are they are pairing her with Dimitri. Talk about a dull pairing. It's been overkill with Gwen. She should've been gone a long time ago.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: DAYS. Needs. New. Blood. 

It's fantastic to see that veterans like John/Marlena and Patch/Kayla are still front-and-center, but not if that means watching them play out the same, tired adventure tales like it's still 1985. 

DAYS needs NEW characters, NEW families, NEW situations (that aren't bad sci-fi or bad camp) for those characters to get into.  It's time.

Why does this show repeat the previous day cliffhanger?

Xander another character that should've been gone long time ago.

Honestly, Dimera Enterprises is another thing on Days that needs to be killed off. Of course, Megan and Kristen had to become involved in the pissing contest. 

It sucks because not only is this stuff tired, but, as a character, Megan never really got a shot in the 80s and this could have been her chance do something on Days. But it’s the same old, same old.

If Ron loves the Dimeras so much, he should bring in Steven Hawk as someone who’s planning to sabotage the company and put it out of business, as a way of getting justice for Benji or something. 

I did enjoy Eric/Nicole/Sloan though. They really need to play that storyline for all that it’s worth. That should be the A story, along with the Shawn stuff, Paul/Andrew, and the Tripp/Wendy/Johnny triangle.

The episode was dog poop. Just way too many Dimeras. The same stories with everyone shocked Kristen is out. 

Carlivati doesn't know how to write business stories so why even bother? If this was being written by WJB or Douglas Marland then I would be all for it.

Ron is a writer that needs to stay on the picket line for a long time. He's a terrible writer and the less he writes the better it is for everyone.

It's odd how many DiMera's are currently on the rooster to be honest - to the point it might be time to clear out some of them as I don't think we need as many of them as there currently are.

I don't think I have ever found someone that liked these Dimera Enterprise stories.  They aren't exciting and I don't care who's in charge at all.

I don't really get the Anna/Tony scenes today either.  I like them and all, but why was so much time on Anna's ridiculous lie of being pregnant?  Anna is a lot of things, but she isn't stupid.  She could have just said Carrie thinks she might be pregnant or something.  

I also don't get why John and Paul exist on such an island together.  It would have made more sense for Paul to come to Salem and share scenes with more than just Drake.  I get CS has limited availability, but he literally only interacts with John and on rare occasions Andrew.

I don't care for Anna and Tony. They add nothing to the show. But they're not the only ones.

Ron isn't invested in Andrew or Paul as a couple or as individuals. If he did care he would've recast Paul long time ago. Ron is awful at writing same sex relationships. Maybe it's a blessing they aren't on full time.

Have they defined Dmitri's sexuality yet? Peter Porte's gay so I guess Ron could re-heat the old "obsessed DiMera" trope and have him either constantly kidnap either Andrew or Paul

Tony/Anna's scenes were just a waste of time today.

I get CS is only available every now and then and you don't have time to invest in Paul, but if he's already on set just have him interact with other people in Salem.  I love John/Paul it just so weird it's always only the two of them together when Paul and John could have been in scenes with Marlena/Brady yesterday and Eric today instead of the Brady/Marlena/Eric stuff dragging on.   It was half an episode talking about a dinner and Brady's lack of date.

 

I believe the rumor is

There are so many holes in all the stories whether it's a major one or not. Instead the writers rehash the same thing over and over again.

Kristen goes to jail....she gets out of jail......everyone is shocked....she taunts the same people again and vows she'll be with Brady.  Brady complains and complains and does nothing to solve his situation with Kristen.

It keeps repeating every few weeks.

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
