DAYS: December 2023 Discussion Thread

Are the scab written episodes finally airing?

I ask because I decided to randomly watch today's episode and I was surprised at how decent it was.

We had a bit of camp with Leo, a bit of an 80s Days soap story with Patch/John/Constatine, and we had a psychological look into Nicole's psych with Marlena as therapist.

It was a balanced episode

True lol but I haven’t heard any rumors or spoilers.

Besides, Ron would be out for blood if that happened while he was on strike

Yeah, for a couple of weeks now.

I feel like there’s been some improvements in the writing from day to day

Ok, what the f*ck was Theresa wearing? And that jacket made her look like a muppet.

Nicole looked good though. And so did Johnny, Tate and Holly. 

I liked the party scenes and how different storylines played out around it. And the guy with the awful wig was back

But once again, Leo was unnecessary. And it really sucks that he’s going back to the Spectator. That would never happen in real life lol 

I’m glad that Tate and Holly had their first kiss but the drug thing really seemed to come out of nowhere. We should have seen her get to this point or at least gotten an explanation as to why she suddenly made the jump from weed to alcohol to hard drugs. I was a little surprised at how Holly looked at the end of the episode though. I expected her just to be passed out, not seizing and foaming at the mouth. The show went further than it usually does and I’m impressed by that. 

But, awwww Chad. I felt really bad for him at the end. But I still like how conflicted he is as a character. His storyline can go in so many different directions. Too bad Stephanie’s been dumbed down though.

Yikes you weren't lying about Theresa's outfit @AbcNbc247.  So ugly!

Holly's descent into hardcore drugs was quick.  A lot of teenagers get drunk and smoke pot lol, but most don't hit the hard drugs after getting drunk once.  Although I know a lot of teens do take Adderall.  That OD was pretty graphic too.  

Nicole was very dressed up to go nowhere.

The Xander/Sarah stuff was a little out of place, but Sarah didn't annoy me like she usually does so that's a win.  

I think I actually wouldn't have minded seeing Paulina/Abe.

I think Stephanie had the best dress today.  She looked really nice.

I thought most people looked good. 

Theresa, good grief, what a bitch! I couldn't believe the way she went off on Brady. And, otherwise she is so loud, so big, so all over the place!! And, she & Alex might just go overboard with Public Displays of Affection! They are such a pair. What did Alex want to talk to Brady about? 

Leo with the cape was as is his tendency, too much! Especially the twirling dervish look as he arrived. 

So, earlier Ava had said, "Laced cocaine?" So that was the 2 kids who had OD'd that she was referring to?  Why would Clyde want to kill off his customer base? 

Everett is such a dweeb. Re-hiring Leo but telling him to have impeccable sources?!! Has he read any of Leo's columns?!

The show (John) made a joke about the square being indoor when it started snowing in The Beyond Salem Christmas movie.  Whether it's a true fact still I don't know.  Looking on the internet some people say the roof can open up?  It seems to be a source of confusion in general.

When the Square was introduced back in September 2011, it was mentioned as being under a dome (I think Freddie Smith's Sonny had the throwaway line), which would explain why no one is bundled up in the dead of winter.  No explanation as to how the brick staircase on the righthand side mysteriously disappeared a couple years afterwards. Maybe it's hiding under that one extra's wig.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • 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?
