Days of Our Lives: November 2023 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

@Joseph Thank you, I guess?  I mean, you can't infer intentions on the internet, so I'll just take your comment as a compliment (no need to correct if it was not meant that way).

I think we're ignoring the Herculean task was writing Dimitri to be genial.  From the moment the character appeared, he's been kidnapping and shooting people.  He hardly got out of bed all summer because he was philandering and finagling.  But, somehow he's the more likeable one.  Maybe it is because his scene partners were so abominable?

[Joseph]

Nah, it was a compliment! It's because your self discretion as often positive, a little like the character of Pollyanna! And I agree on Dimitri, I am surprised I don't fully hate him! But If I was written half the cast would have to leave to reorganize storylines, I see that most stuff Ron writes might seem good on paper but the execution is atrocious!

DAYS Writing Team, down 8 writers, up 2

Mon. Brkdn Writer Chris Dunn Daily Script

Tues. Brkdn Writer Jamey Giddens Daily Script 

Fri Brkdn Writer Dave Ryan Daily Script

So, I concur that a better story could have been told if the boys had brought Gwen in as a fellow conspirator, much better! 

Just finished watching today, dreadful. So, the baby snatch was to make a hero out of Constantin. So crass. So common. Such mean-spirited people.

I would settle for nothing less than his death

And then pair Dimitri with Andrew. 

Biggest problem on Days right now: the ideas are good (mostly) but the execution is terrible.

Watch Leo dies and GR shows up in a blonde wig to play Andrew!

[Contessa Donatella]

MY EYES! How can I unsee this post?!!!! 

[carolineg]

Sorry!  It's probably too early on a Saturday morning for such horrors!   You have to admit you wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Andrew, or Theresa?

Now your just giving Ron ideas...

[Liberty City]

Let's not pretend he and the former producer hadn't thought of it before. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Lord, no, I am quite sure Ron would find that an amusing idea! I have recently learned that one of the GH co-Heads regularly reads fan content. Imagine if Ron does!!!

[AbcNbc247]

Now that’s just terrifying

I got my fingers crossed everyday that we at least get some changes now that he’s out and Janet is in

[Liberty City]

I am hoping reception for Sheri Anderson's material (who is supposedly took over for the writer during the strike) is so positive it causes a change for either her return, or for a regime of writers that can handle a streaming soap, because what's been streaming is NBC-level worthy.

[AbcNbc247]

I’m just hoping for some kind of change. It’s been six and a half years. It’s well passed the time. 

Hell, just having an investment in all characters and storylines would be nice. 

And of course, not letting biases and obsessions write the show for you

I would note here that we never found out whether Sheri went FiCore & headed to DAYS or headed to GH!! We know she went FiCore but we also know she has past experience with both shows! And the picture Deidre posted showing her with Sheri was an old pic from 2015 or 2016! So, darn.
