Days: June 2023 Discussion Thread

I think it will be the opposite.   He will marry Gwen, but be in love with Leo.

  That ad and that movie will never get old.  Dee would play 5 characters and we would see her for one episode then have to wait a month for the next episode because she has so few guarantees.

I feel like we don't talk enough about the marriage of Justin and Bonnie.

It's giving Rebecca/Vertigo.  I mean they have nothing in common except for the fact that she resembles his dead wife.  At this point I can't tell if she keeps her hair and makeup like Adrienne in order to please Justin, or because she feels that he expects it.  His kids don't seem to notice that their father has developed an obsession with keeping Adrienne's memory alive.  In the past, Bonnie's manic energy and lack of sophistication would have been a turn off for Justin.  But now, he stands by her despite her rather obvious lack of intellect.  It's a little sick.

If Deidre Hall can play Deidre Hall, why can't she play four (or maybe three because Megan killed one) Marlenas? They're just going to be differentiated by the colour of their suit anyway but maybe not even that because the budget won't allow it. Maybe they can have different accents!

That could have been a very interesting dynamic had it been explored, but I don't think current Days would ever be that deep lol

Too bad Sonny's not around. He's pretty much the only character that would have had the foresight to bring all this to Justin's attention.

I can just imagine what the three or four other Marlenas would be doing right now.  You have one clone living in squalor in a trailer park in Florida; another living a life of splendor as the wife of a wealthy businessman in England; a third living and working as a nun in an African orphanage; and maybe a fourth who is now a spinster librarian at a college somewhere in the Midwest.

It's fun to think about, but it would be horrible in execution.  I would be more curious as to their health? Back in 1995 the cloning stuff was new lol.  Are they as smart or evolved as Marlena?  How did they establish themselves and make a living as a 45 year old new woman in the world with no education or life skills?  Did Stefano give them money and/or a plan besides just to be seen in various parts of the world to throw off John/the police?  If Ron insists on making this a cannon there are so many questions I have, but it's better suited for an intelligent person's fanfic and not Ron's writing.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.
