Days: August 2023 Discussion Thread

Phillip's plan sounds even more ridiculous when he says it aloud.  How one man (with a prosthetic leg no less) could execute this plan single handedly without anyone seeing anything is beyond comprehension-even for Days.

I also actively hate how the show is making Body & Soul a thing everyone has enjoyed and watched for years.

The Belle/Shawn/Marlena stuff was the best part of the show.

Even if Rafe cleans I do think it's pretty rude to continually have sex on a bed both Jada and Talia sleep on.  If only Rafe had a house set...oh wait he does.  Go there you weirdos!

Welcome back, Sonny! We’ve missed you

Please register in order to view this content

Too bad most of his scenes were with Leo. But at least Sonny let him know what a narcissistic POS he is. 

I still say Sonny and Tripp need to come together, defend their cousin Gwen and beat Leo to a bloody pulp

And at least Sonny got a scene with Alex. Him and RSW always did have good brother chemistry. And I love that we were able to see the photos of Victor and his family as Sonny and Alex went through the photo album. 

As for the plan that Leo came up with for Dimitri… considering I said “What the f*ck” out loud as they discussed it, I’ll pass.

Someone please end this pathetic excuse for a storyline. Peter Porte, and even Camila Banus and Brandon Barash deserve so much better than this.

Brady punching Phillip was great!!

JPL still speed reads his lines and stutters them.

Chloe feeling compassion for another criminal... Sigh

Shawn supposed story went from A and stayed there for a long time and then jumped to C with no real movement and now were are at point D?

Why did they even bother? The story wasn't a story just a big mess.

It's a miracle I enjoy PP. His #1 scene partner is EOB as Gwen & I hate Gwen but in this gosh darn story I have empathy for Gwen because her new hubby & her bestie are Friends with Benefits! His #2 scene partner is GR as Leo Stark & I hate Leo with no conditions, just full out. And the story is just sordid. Here we have the diversity soap's offering of what gay folk are like. UGH. Not exactly Pride Ambassadors, are they?!

Great to have Sonny back. I wish Zach Tinker was on contract.

Unfortunately, we had to SUFFER through those Leo scenes where all the gay writers (and heteros who think they know gays) get to include their zingers that would have been tired in the '80s. Leo is a cartoon, not a character -- and a lousy cartoon at that.

And how awful is it to wreck Peter Porte's Dimitri to serve the Leo character? Just really hard to believe. Someone like Dimitri should refuse to become this enamored and ridiculous for the hottest guy in the universe, let alone for LEO.

 

I admit I was looking for that the minute I saw JPL on the screen. I know that's still there -- JPL is never going to be a great or even good actor -- but he was better than I expected. I'll give him a chance on this return.

I always thought he was really good looking, and he still looks good...much better than on his last stint when he seemed to be too made up, like some minor character in a Fire Island movie.

Mixed feelings about it lol

On the same level, I do think she does deserve this. But at the same time, I find what’s being done to her so awful and so disgusting that I do kind of feel bad for her. 

Two reasons: Ron’s obsession with Leo and his obvious belief that gay actors can only play gay characters, which is kinda stupid, imo.

Sonny's brother Alex, best friend Chad and cousin Stephanie was on, but what DAYS do? Have Sonny spend nearly the entire episode arguing with Leo.  Awful.

I asked the same question Sonny!  

 

This Leo/Dimitri/Gwen story is dreadful. The show is getting rid of legacy characters yet not only keeping these three failures, but putting them in a major story. They need to go!

    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
