Days: June 2023 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

So, it looks like May ended on a shitty (and rushed) note. 

Which really sucks because there are so many things on Days that could be better than what they are right now and I don’t think a budget or BTS issue is preventing all that. 

Oh well, it’s a new month and hopefully, June will start a lot better than May ended.

DISCUSS!

The Abe stuff was more amusing than I expected.  That bandage on his head made me chuckle (why did he have surgery for a concussion?).  It's just silly, but I was pleasantly surprised that Jaymes Reynolds was so capable at playing light comedy.  

I don't watch DAYS with the same expectations as other shows.  It is limited both in terms of production values and complexity.  But it is frequently a fun couple of minutes each morning (thank goodness for ad suppression).

How many guarantees does GR have?  Leo has appeared twice this week for no reason.  Plus, he always talks about his buddies and parties he goes to, but I thought he had no friends besides Gwen?  Colin spent about 30 minutes too long with Leo.  He should have punched him immediately.

Eric/Nicole were good.

I liked Marlena/Kayla talking.  The scenes weren't exciting or important, but it's nice to see two women talk like friends and have a casual conversation. 

Rafe is an idiot if he thinks Colin is going to try to escape with a geriatric man in a wheelchair lol.  That's a sure way to get caught lol. 

The Abe stuff is unbelievably silly.  I found it more entertaining than Leo, but that's truly not saying much. @j swiftAbe had a brain bleed or something from the concussion and had to get surgery to fix that.  

Super random EJ just popped up at the end of the episode like that.

She seems to be a crazy plush cat lady with past due bills.  Which I can understand considering she had a huge ass cat tree house for her stuffed cats.  As a cat owner, I know those things are expensive!   My actual cat only has a scratching post because I am not paying for a 150 dollar cat tree!  I am also highly concerned she has pictures of real cats as photos.  Where did she get those?

  Anyhow, I think she's just planning to kidnap Abe for ransom from Paulina?   No sign she's QAnon yet, but that might be more interesting...

Idk about the EJ/Nicole scene today.

I liked it, but I felt like there should have been more. Sort of like the Eric/Marlena scenes today; nothing really happened but we got really good insight into how Eric is feeling about this whole situation. I wish we would have gotten the same for EJ. Hopefully, this and everything else with Dimera will prompt him to taking a darker turn. 

I am intrigued by Megan’s plan though, and that she’s not gonna be falling for Gabi and Stefan’s crap. And considering that Bo is a part of her plans, maybe soon, we’ll get a return of Bo and Hope and the reunion that they and fans deserve. 

Btw, welcome to Salem, Harris and Dimitri!

LOL! This Nicole pregnancy is like the worst kept secret. I mean, the moment Anna found out about it, I knew Nicole was toast.

Megan's presence inside the Dimera mansion feels so natural. I would like a true Queen to grace herself and snide at the common villagers of Salem, but I'm afraid if I get too attached to this fictional character, then I'm in for a let down as she'll probably be written like a Jan Spears or something and go looney tune bat sh!t cray, cray. It was nice to see Megan pour Stefan a drink as Stefan was the neurotic bartender several weeks ago making gimlets left and right for his brother. And he wouldn't stop with it either.

@JAS0N47 At what point will DAYS have produced the most continuous episodes of any show on a streaming platform?  It seems like there are a lot of shows with more than one 10-15 episode season.  But, I wonder if any other show has produced almost a year's worth of material released daily specifically for a streaming service?

    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
