Days: July 2023 Discussion Thread

The thing about Leo/Dmitri is that Leo is easily discarding the most genuine relationship he has on the show.  Like it or not, Gwen/Leo has been shoved in our faces and Leo just immediately trashed that relationship to jump into bed with Dmitri.  I thought he had some loyalty to Gwen, but none at all.   Gwen is awful, but she has literally done nothing to deserve this treatment from Leo or Dmitri. 

As far as Wendy, I thought when she was introduced she was quite spunky and different.  She's turned into a standard heroine at this point and she is boring.

Deidre loves a blazer.  Deidre has loved a blazer since forever.  Of course she has 1000's.  I hate the look and actually think her sleep/loungewear looks much better, but her blazers have been a thing for decades now.  Pair it with a flannel and she's raring to go.

  Johnny has always given me bisexual vibes from day one. I'm sure Tripp would play too. They're hotter than the whole Dimitri and Leo mess.

You forget how both Leo and Gwen railroaded each other on pining a murder on the other. They friendship is bogus.

You are right I did conveniently forget that.

  So fair...

At this point though I think they moved passed that and are bff's again?  Anyhow, I think it's really crappy to do to someone you claim is your friend.  It's gross.  There really isn't a good reason to just let Gwen in on the plan.

Well, it doesn’t have to be just over Wendy lol they rehashed everything in their scenes today. I didn’t realize how many reasons Tripp and Johnny had to really hate each other. And all this stuff with Wendy could be the spark that finally sets off the dynamite. 

And honestly, I just want to see a good fight

It doesn’t have to be Tripp/Johnny. It could be Eric/EJ, Chad/Alex, Brady/Xander, etc. 

Heres that Shawn vs Philip fight that I referred to. The camera work sucks lol but this was a good one.

Just like with a lot of characters on the canvas, it was too much and they were taken too far. And fans got tired of it.

And agreed, that maybe they should’ve cast a younger actor to play Leo.

I knew there was something to get you to keep watching

There did seem to be a lot of subtext in those scenes 

Sounds similar to a certain young blonde over on GH

Only difference is that Gwen kind of deserves it after all the things she’s done

Well, I hate to defend Joss but even she wouldn't sleep with Spencer to prove he's no good for Trina lol.  That's like a Sonny thing to do lol

Gwen deserves it, but it would be more satisfying coming from Sarah or something.  Not someone who is her bff.  It makes me feel slightly bad for her.

There was no reason not to tell Gwen to begin with.  I assume she would have been fine with it.  And then she could have caught feelings and realized Dmitri and Leo were a thing.  Now she just looks like a fool and it's a bad look for everyone involved instead of a difficult situation of fighting feelings with nuance.

I don't interpret it as misogyny, but I think Ron often uses the trope of failing in romantic relationships to try to garner sympathy for an unlikable character.

(Oh man, I just realized that I defend him far too often...)

Yup.  And it's just a missed oppurtunity to make the story have more layers.  Not that I am advocating a Gwen/Leo/Dmitri triangle, but it's like the ending and 'root' for couple have already had sex in one episode.  No longing, no progression of feelings-it's so rushed as usual.

It happens lol back when I started watching OLTL, I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread

And i used to think something similar about garnering sympathy but after what happened with Nancy last year, I started thinking there was some misogyny there. The way that storyline was written was just gross. 

And that’s what ruined it.

@AbcNbc247 I don't have the video, just the still. I use it as a banner pic. Scott McKinsey directed the scene & he suggested they use a jab instead of the roundhouse they usually throw.

@j swift  In my opinion Ron definitely has misogyny in his wheelhouse but it's not like it's strange to have it in DAYS

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
