Days of Our Lives: November 2023 Discussion Thread

What is up with Leo and Ava getting phone calls from their co-conspirators while in the interrogation room?

Surely there was a more creative and plausible way to convey that information.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, indeedy, if something has finally penetrated that narcissistic outer candy shell of Mr. Stark, then it is about dadgummed time something, anything, got through to him, I mean, if there is any inside to him at all! Today for once it seemed like he has a gooey center capable of something like guilt! Who knew?! 

I wonder. If the baby always cries & fusses with Sloan & is a total cheery calm with Eric, it could be like the beating of a telltale heart, working on Sloan's guilt! 

I'm not sure I know what this means. 

Yes, these remarkable individual performances continue. Hitting it out of the ballpark! 

Really hard to see Clyde as a mastermind, as an uber-villain, instead it seems as if he is a poor pitiful wimp of a character. The only thing I can think of is maybe he is someone who functions very well in prison & pretty awful on the outside? Ya think? 

 

Do not know what any spoilers say, not that I am that averse or anything, just haven't happened upon them. 

Today's final scene, broke my heart. I guess we will see Nicole see her baby often. 

Now, what I've been thinking about is Christopher Dunn, Jamey Giddens & Dave Ryan writing daily scripts. Seems to me like Dave Ryan is doing a lion's share. I think his day's are pretty good, sound. Not as sure of Jamey. Nor of Chris Dunn. But, I do think someone has some plan in mind with them doing this & I appreciate their effort. Especially with them down 8 writers & only up 2.

The less responsibility Jamey has, the better. 

As for what I meant about Sloan's list scene, I think you'll understand when you watch.

And as for the spoiler about the baby name, it wasn't even mentioned today, but I think it's going to be next week. 

I left a hint in the "What are you listening to" thread

Yeah, well, I'll just have to be goofy today because I watched before I posted. My oops, I guess.

Hmm, think I'll go see. Yeah, well, that is a great name!

My guess is because when Nicole gets her baby back she's going to change the name so they didn't want to waste a name for temporary use.

[j swift]

Yes, but I imagine Nicole won't use the names Mickey or Grace either...

  I bet she'll name him after a Carver.

Also, are we to assume that Melinda is using her own money to pay off the doctor?  If so, this leads back to the question of why is Melinda so invested in this adoption?

[Contessa Donatella]

So today she said outright that she did it because it was so much money. Paying the doctor more has got to be cutting into what she was counting on. 

[AbcNbc247]

Hope so lol

[BeeLol]

Unfortunately, I haven't had too much success with those credits--the show cuts out after the first three screens. Why doesn't technology do what you want it to?

Honestly I have only 2 criticisms of Peacock. 1. They should promote the show more. 2. Let us see the credits no matter what day it is when we're watching!! 

[ArizonaDaze]

That seems odd. I get all the credits every day.

[j swift]

Me too, but maybe that's because we don't pirate it and put it on YouTube?

[Contessa Donatella]

What Bee & I are referring to is that if you get behind, then the closing credits begin but very quickly stop & it moves on to the next day. Have you ever been behind to experience what we're talking about? I assure you that it is what happens if you watch from a behind point of view. Doesn't happen if one is watching timely. Does it make more sense to you now? 

Anyway, you can test it if you want to. Just pick any day last week, as long as the next day has played, and run it to the end & watch. You'll see.

I know what @Donna L. Bridges is talking about.  It actually happens with every peacock show.  If you get behind it will jump to the next episode without showing previews or credits.  Actually, it's pretty annoying when you watch any Bravo show even when you get to the last episode you can view they cut off the previews and move to another show you might like.

[ArizonaDaze]

Oh, I see. I usually watch every day so I never noticed that. I guess there's no option to watch credits then. I've seen that on other shows but another streamer.
