Days of Our Lives: November 2023 Discussion Thread

For most online shows, that happens for me, regardless of the streaming provider.  I have learned to be alert to the episode being about to end.  Then I hold my computer mouse ready. The credits section starts to shrink into a corner as another show starts to load in the main screen.  The second the that credits start to shrink in the corner, I put my mouse on the those credits and they come back up to regular size, and the other show stops loading.  Then I can watch the credits.  It takes practice to time it just right.  If I miss it, then I restart the episode and fastfoward to near the end, and try again.  (I watch on a computer. Not sure how this would if watching on a phone).

I had to discontinue my peacock subscription a few months ago.  But that's what I did when I had it.  I don't know if the peacock process has changed since then.

Yeah… the storyline might not be the best but I’m glad people are being smart at least.

I hope Nicole continues to believe that that’s her baby, despite everyone telling her that it isn’t and despite what may happen in the future. That would add another very interesting layer to all this

Dimitri was smart too. As much as I despise his storyline, it’s always nice to see Peter Porte

And it goes to show you how good he is because I saw a little chemistry between Dimitri and Sloan. Nothing major but something lol if I didn’t know Ron’s style (biases), I’d say Dimitri should have a one night stand with Sloan. A sexually confused Dimitri would actually be a pretty good mini storyline under the umbrella of the Nicole’s baby storyline. Peter Porte could definitely pull it off. And it would be a lot better than Dimitri just being annoying with Leo. 

I saw a little chemistry between Stefan and Ava too, despite their crappy storyline lol. Btw, I love how Stefan said there were cameras at the hardware store, yet there’s no cameras at the Salem PD

We didn’t need another Rafe/EJ bitchfight though.

And Jada and Leo

I was trying to figure out who Peter Porte looks like with his new look.

Of course!!

Dimitri and Sloan would make a great pairing actually. They should make Dimitri bi. Leo needs to be killed off immediately!

Thanks! I am going to have to try that out! Okay, I don't know what is the cancel thumbnail. And, today I watched at 10 & missed the daily script writer's screen & I am pissed. Dadgumit. Who knows who wrote today's script? 

Otherwise, the show: Dimitri in bangs? Oh my. But I did love the way he went after Sloan. 

Nicole: OMG! How wonderful that she is so sure it's her baby. And, what great stuff for Ari to play. 

And, I am so pleased they're not going to charge Ava. 

All in all, I found today to be a good episode. Remarkable.

I’d beam him up anytime

I remember that

You could tell from that stream that Colton and Peter would have great chemistry. Colton was so funny 

It could lead to a lot of story possibilities. Too bad Ron’ll never go there

Monday was a 6/10

I like the Nicole scene with the baby.  A couple of years ago they would've stood in the square for three episodes before Nicole gave back the baby, so I appreciated the pace today.

Rafe vs. EJ was a battle of the bad brows.  Oy, the makeup department is not doing them any favors with jet black brows against salt & pepper hair.

Frankly, it makes zero sense that Dimitri would call the police, but Stefan and Ava wouldn't.  The Stefan/Ava caper would be helped by taking one moment to scheme and realize, (once again), they have the upper hand by possessing the evidence.  Why not use that information to immediately extricate themselves from Clyde? For example, call him and say “Hey, Clyde, we're going to offer the guy who was arrested this evidence, so he'll grass you up, unless you get off of our collective jock, and stop threatening our loved ones.” The only answer is because they live in a soap universe where the good guys are always oblivious. 

It might be a fun twist if Rafe suspects Harris is a dirty cop for losing his keys, that led to the missing evidence. But that would require Rafe to be a little less clueless, so I am not counting on it.

Hey, Theresa actually remembered that she had a son today

Please register in order to view this content

Still not really sure what her endgame is though. Brady? Money? It’s really starting to seem like her reason for doing this seems to go back and forth between each episode. Btw, aren’t the Donovan’s rich already? 

I was totally Team Chad today. This crap with the Spectator is so pointless and unnecessary. And really unrealistic, considering how things are nowadays. In real life, Leo would have been cancelled so fast, all our heads would spin lol

All this stuff has become the most annoying thing about Everett. Even more than his creepiness. Hopefully, Chad or Xander or somebody continues to clean house. Either that or just let the damn paper die.

And Stephanie… uggghhh 

Stephanie: If it wasn’t for Leo and Dimitri, Nicole would have been alone when she went into labor. What????

Bitch, if it wasn’t for Leo and Dimitri, Nicole never would have gone into labor in the first place!! Unfortunately, it appears that Stephanie has been dumbed down for this storyline. Which didn’t need to happen. 

It’s also hilarious how Chad is being written as the bad guy but other characters who do things ten times worse are constantly written as the good guy.

Today's show was bad.  Sarah/Xander are really moving at lightning speed toward a reconciliation.  There were months of angst from Sarah about Xander and him raising her child to the point she married someone else.  Glad this whole situation was cleared right up after a minor kidnapping and a couple conversations!  

This Everett/Chad/Stephanie stuff is boring!  Why didn't we just continue the story with Alex because it's practically the same thing just with a newspaper instead of Titan.  Has anyone even verified Everett's coma story?  Chad should just get on that instead of buying expensive newspapers.

Aside from the Donovan's money (let's say Theresa is cut off), I am sure Brady paid her quite well in child support since she was raising Tate alone for about 16 years.  She had a job as well.  Am I really supposed to believe she needs money that badly?  Unless she blew through that money, but it's really unclear.  She managed to be a "good mom" to Tate as Brady always said so it would be weird for her to suddenly be broke now unless she put it into her failing business in LA?   Now that we have EOB for however long it would be nice to have some clarity.  It just looks like she's scheming just to scheme right now.

I guess we can assume John/Marlena/Maggie are still friendly if John/Steve are flying to Greece during Thanksgiving on their own dime to investigate a 'case' on Costantin that no one is asking them to or paying them for lol.

    • 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
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
