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.

Well at least he didn't do the bug eyed acting but there is still time.

I never found him attractive and he looks very rough for his age.

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!

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
