DAYS: December 2023 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

The one that gets my goat is Stefan.  He fought so hard to be CEO.  Then, once he got the job, he buys The Bistro and neglects the company.

I mean, EJ went to work the night of his wedding and Sloan went in two seconds after her baby arrived.

[carolineg]

Lol, yeah.  At least Stefan buying the Bistro is a round about way to help Gabi, so he has a minor excuse.

[j swift]

Also, I'm not trusting Eric to be a stay-at-home Dad.  When he figured out that he and Sloan don't have a nursery the first thing he went out and bought was a baby gym, rather than a crib, or some diapers, or formula, or baby bottles, or onesies, or...

Doesn't PriceTown have a baby department?

The talk was nice too

He’s gotta look out for Gabi… though I still don’t understand why it’s so hard for him to get someone to kill Clyde

[Soapsuds]

Talk? What talk?

I trust Eric more than Sloan lol.  Plus, I doubt Eric's pictures of the African Wilderness bring in the bucks like Sloan's job.

Is there a reason he was meant for church! God know why he does things that's why he was never a Daddy! And to be fair, can we actually be 100% Sure he Is Nicole's Baby Father????? That suit was so confused! Also the timing was awful! Ericole hooked one day and a week later she was pregnant!

6.3/10

Lesson learned today is that one of the tell-tale signs of scab writers is the use of flashbacks to scenes written by non scab writers.  I know DAYS used flashbacks a lot, but we saw the same strategy in early scab scripts on Y&R and GH.

I really like Tripp and Wendy.  They're smart, they aren't oblivious to their surroundings, and they ask the right questions.  They are also a juxtaposition to Dimitri and Leo, considering that they were created by the same writer.  D&L tell us that they're in love, but it never feels organic.  Possibly because they are so silly most of the time.  Wendy and Tripp feel sincerely in love.  They speak like young professionals.  They don't use cute nicknames for each other, and they aren't hiding anything, when it makes more sense to be honest.

Jack and Jennifer own a newspaper in Boston?

Shane has access to information about the owner of shell companies?

Yep.

They bought it and moved there after they lost the Spectator 

[j swift]

Jack must be very rich, because IRL a decade ago, John W. Henry bought the Boston Globe from the NY Times for $70 million dollars.

Probaly J&J are involved with something along these lines

The Boston Bulletin is a weekly newspaper with local coverage in the Allston-Brighton, Northend, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Roslindale and Hyde Park neighborhoods.

 

Company size

2-10 employees

Since Jack and Jenn lost the Spectator in such an awful way I am happy to believe they are living their best lives in Boston with a successful paper.

[Contessa Donatella]

I was of the opinion at that time that they had 2 papers, one in Salem & one in Boston. So, as much as I hated their losing Salem's in the way they did, they already had a place they were familiar with. 

[j swift]

Is it confirmed that Bo and Hope are also both in Boston? As well as Shawn, Ben, and Ciara (and their kids)?

Because I recall when Bo was first hospitalized that there was some exposition about them keeping his whereabouts a secret from Megan.  But, by the time Victor died and Shawn went to rehab, it seemed like they were all in Boston.

Amusingly, I bet it would drive some fans nuts if Salem suddenly relocated from the Midwest to Massachusetts.
