Days of Our Lives: October 2023 Discussion Thread

Frances was driven to the studio in a limo on numerous parking lists I have from the early 2000's, so I'm sure she was in first class on a plane! She was very active in the unions, so I'm sure she was also pretty particular in her contracts and made sure to have things like that in them.

I know we’ve been through this before with DAYS, but it seems like we just had a completely unnecessary mass exodus of characters in the last week or so. And today being reminded that Leo and Dimitri are still on canvas and are being presented as a happy couple, I just had to roll my eyes and sigh. Also Clyde unnecessarily being back in the thick of things.

Can Lucas ever get out of prison? No one in Salem serves terms this long. Kate needs her favorite son back in town.

Well, he’s not the first soap writer that’s been obsessed with his own awful character and I’m sure he won’t be the last.

Plus, Greg Rikaart really isn’t in much demand, like Chandler, Zach, etc. are

True

Just read that Zach Tinker just finished his new movie.

I loathe them as a couple. Such an awful pairing.

Yet killers and other kidnappers like Xander are running around town living their lives free. Ridiculous!!

DEIDRE HALL APPEARS IN 12 EPISODES IN A MONTH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2021...LAUREN KOSLOW APPEARS IN 12 EPISODES IN A MONTH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019...

Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Lauren Koslow (Kate) have now appeared in 12 of the first 13 episodes in October 2023, including the last 10 episodes in a row. It is the first time for Hall to appear in that many episodes since 2021, and for Koslow since 2019. There are still 9 episodes to air in October, so how high will their episode rankings be?? It is too time-consuming to check, but this is also the first time probably in a long time that two actors have appeared in 10 episodes straight.

Leo makes me sick and Peter Porte deserves so much better than what he’s getting. That’s all I got for that [!@#$%^&*]. 

Tate/Holly were the best part of today. The kid playing Tate is actually pretty good and I enjoyed his scenes with Eric Martsolf. What Tate brought up about Brady and his parenting is actually a pretty good dynamic that should be explored. Same can be said for Holly’s dislike of Rachel. But I think today was a Jamey episode, so of course, any good dynamic will never be brought up again. 

And, sorry to say it but I would not mind Holly breaking that little demon’s face

All this stuff with Tate and Holly could have such a ripple effect on so many storylines, including their own, and it really looks like both actors can pull it off. I hope Days plays that for all that it can be. 

And, as much as I don’t like Kristen, I do gotta say that Christopher is a much better name than Tate

Agreed that I don't enjoy the silliness of Leo.  I actually think that there is a story to be mined from a lonely gay man living in a small town, but that's not where his character goes.

My practical question is where does he keep the myriad of wigs that he seems to have available at a moment's notice?

This already ties her for the 2023 monthly lead with Greg Vaughan (Eric), who appeared in 13 episodes in March 2023. With 8 more episodes to air this month, how many more will Koslow appear in??

Kate pops up again in today's show.

Leo and Dimitri need to just leave. Why would anyone root for these two losers?

Both are insufferable.

I'm enjoying Tate and Holly.

The Dimera shares nonsense needs to stop. Why focus on it when we never see them working there? No one cares!!

Kudos to the University Hospital Surgical team!

Dimitri was shot in the back last week, and today there's not a scratch on him, no tubes attached, and he's ready to be transported to jail.

If we've learned one thing this week, it is that short staffing destroys efficiency.  Salem PD hires a middle-aged vet straight from the sanitarium, next thing you know they've lost one of their most wanted criminals.  University Hospital hires a new doctor who conspired to drug the whole town's biscuit supply, a week later she has a drunken one-night stand and quits.  The Brady Pub hires an underage bar back, now the only customers are his grandmother and the owner's wife.

I'm surprised that DAYS is not sponsored by Zip Recruiter.

The only story I want to see for Leo now is his death

If anything, I’d say the story lies with Dimitri and his relationship with Megan, or with his father, why he was closeted, a former relationship, etc.

    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.  She is trolling this thread.
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
