Members j swift Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 OK, Kristen leaving prison in a catsuit was funny and damn entertaining. I was reminded that DAYS is not trying to be anything more than a silly distraction, and I have reset my expectations. There's plenty of other media that is much better equipped to comment on current events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 I love Christopher Sean and Paul and Paul and John! That's it. Marlena was so excited to see Roman! Literally more excited than Kate was after she came back from the dead. Calm down, Doc! Today's episode was fine. Kristen showing up at Marlena's door was a good cliffhanger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 Well, I mean look at Dimera Enterprises and that gorgeous window office view .... of a tree standing right in front of it. Soak all this breath-taking view, bitches. Don't be jealous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 Honestly, that budget excuse that they’ve given us in the past has been wearing a little thin for me for a while now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 24, 2023 Members Share Posted May 24, 2023 I see your point, @AbcNbc247. There's probably a better way to tell the kinds of stories that DAYS tells even with their miniscule budget. That's because she's not really Marlena! It's Samantha, her back-from-the-dead twin sister! Watch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Maybe lol? Samantha didn't even know Roman, so I don't think even she would be excited to see Mumbles Brady. I was just curious why Deidre played it with such exuberant joy. That was literally more happiness to see Roman than she's exhibited in the last 25 years of Josh playing Roman. Unless Wayne is hiding under a Josh Taylor mask it was weird. Edited May 25, 2023 by carolineg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 Unless we find out that Samantha once spent the night with Roman while he was protecting Marlena from the Salem Strangler (and Roman didn't realize he was guarding the wrong twin). By the way, I'm totally kidding, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) lol! I know you are joking, but even if that happened I think Sam would be highly disappointed in what Roman's become. She'd be like...never mind hard pass. I have discussed this in the Classic Days thread, but Sam and Marlena really don't look identical and Don is an idiot.

Members j swift Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 I wonder why Megan's first stop out of prison was the Brady Pub? Please don't tell me it was because she recalled her love of their chowder! I predict it won't happen, but I would love to see Megan renew her rivalry with Roman for telling Bo that she had an abortion, and her classic put down to Tony when she told him that he was always jealous of her because he knew she was Stefano's favorite, even before they found out she was a Dimera (Do we capitalize the M?). Also, @carolineg or @AbcNbc247 I totally missed the details on beard guy who wanted to put Dimitri back in jail (I skipped BS2). He's also a Von Leuschner? Are they related? And classic DAYS script, nobody takes the opportunity to get more information on Dimitri when they had the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 He was in the first Beyond Salem and is related to Dimitri on the Von Leuschner side. Lord Sebastian helped save the day toward the end of the first series. Marlena did exposit about it a bit in her scenes today before the actor appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 For the show to address this issue, a character choosing to join the police force due to police brutality, would require the show to address their recent past of having a white police officer shooting an unarmed black youth who is on the Autism spectrum. Given the reaction to that story, I imagine that's not something the show really wants to draw any light to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 The best part of today's show was the three cliffhangers. The Marlena and Kate scenes were nice. The negotiation scenes were boring as sh!t. I'm already getting tired of Dimitri. Peter Porte is such a boring actor. His scenes with Steve Burton were coma inducing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 25, 2023 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Yeah. I know they’re cash strapped, but I really think that a lot of these bad decisions are choices and not because of any budget issues. Craig/Nancy, and that Heaven/Hell nonsense immediately come to mind Please register in order to view this content Lord Sebastian’s an Alamain.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted May 25, 2023 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Today was a Jamey episode. Y’all know this guy’s been waiting for the chance to have someone call Roman Chris and today he finally got it. Dimitri’s entry into the Dimera family could be good if it’s done well, which it wasn’t today. Who knew a European aristocrat could be so cringey and campy? Same could be said for Harris moving to Salem. I wonder who he’s going to be paired with. As for Kristen, she’s beyond played out. Just kill her off.

Members Michael Posted May 25, 2023 Members Share Posted May 25, 2023 I still can't believe they aired that story. Whew. They actually *did* have Lani address being a Black woman who was also a police officer. This was perhaps in the year before she left -- I can't recall the full context, maybe she was talking to Chanel? It felt a little like a "Ah crap, we need to address this somehow," but it was nevertheless one of the more interesting things they ever gave Lani to say just because it vaguely made her seem like a real person for a scene or two. It never came into play in a larger way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
