Days: August 2023 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

I would not be in favor of that recast, but I am slightly annoyed that it is being discussed in this thread, rather than in the Previews & Spoilers thread where it belongs...

Getting back to the show that is currently airing, I was clutching my proverbial pearls at Dimitri's scenes today.  This is the second time that they've overtly implied that he's getting oral pleasure.  I know I didn't see that on NBC!

I enjoyed that they played with the timeline a bit by telling how Tripp wound up in bed with Leo.  However, I agree that Leo needs some real consequences for constantly abusing the boundaries of straight men.  It is not funny, and it sends a bad message (not that the whole BTS story doesn't send a bad message, but two wrongs blah blah blah).

I give this week a 7/10, DAYS wins a lot of points based on the charisma of the cast.  The Xander/Maggie scene for example was intriguing to watch, even though the topic of Victor and Xander's reconciliation seems to come out of thin air.

I'm still not convinced Adrienne's dead.

I'm feeling a little vindicated today.

A couple weeks ago, I was called out for saying that cast members like Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn needed to say something about the mess at DAYS. I was told I was victim-shaming and that I put them in an impossible postition.

I think Arianna Zucker proved me right -- that cast members CAN and DID make a difference. Would Alarr have been fired without AZ's voice? Maybe. But when Arianne spoke out, the ball started rolling and others felt the power to speak out.

Notice that Zucker nevver directly used Albert Alarr's name. She didn't have to. I never said that cast members should put themselves at risk, and Arianne Zucker proved there was an effective and forceful way to make a point.

God bless you! Do you have a theory? I would cling to any hope. 

Boy, did she ever!!

Does Xander still own half of The Spector?

Another reminder that if it didn't happen on screen yet, please don't post in this thread.

I know we saw it on GL when Harley's arm was broken & Gus obliged. 

I recall this past year some show so that would be either GH or DAYS cause that's all I watch. Perhaps someone will remember better.

Very curious as to how Ron’s gonna handle Janet being promoted to co-EP.

Is this gonna be the first time he’s ever worked for a woman?

[lucaslesann23]

He was Dena Higleys Co HW at OLTL, If that counts 

[Toups]

Yes, Janet will be the first woman EP that Ron will work with (unless he's fired and doesn't come back after the strike).  Only Alarr and Valentini have been his EPs. 

[lucaslesann23]

That'll be interesting. Maybe, Sherri Anderson or whomever Is writing will be so good TPTB decide to keep her/him

[AbcNbc247]

But she wasn’t his boss, right? 

[lucaslesann23]

Nope.

[AbcNbc247]

Thanks! 

I hope he doesn’t have a problem with it lol because when he has a problem, he takes it out in the writing

 

[Paul Raven]

Wondering why this is even an issue to be raised? Has Ron given any indication that he has a problem with a woman as boss?
