DAYS: February 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I wonder. In the past I'd agree it'd get swept under the rug like the Missy case and many others, but it's a different era and Corday is singled out re: #MeToo stuff here. He might never live that down as per bringing Ari back. Otherwise I agree, they settle and Ari is back in a month lol. It could definitely happen. I just get depressed thinking about it.

The key phrase there is that Days sued Missy, Missy didn’t sue Days. Ari is suing Days.

And they wouldn’t have sued Missy at all until she started negotiating with B&B a year later while still legally bound by the terms of her Days contract.

They probably had scripts prepared for Nicole assuming Ari would accept their terms. If that’s the case, someone has probably already assumed the role. 

I don’t think the show was ever intended to continue after its 60th season.

Okay, for discussion sake, Missy was legally bound by her contract on Days at the time.  She left before it finished.  That's 100% a reason to sue by law lol.  And her seeking out other daytime contracts while still under a Days contract is ridiculous.  Her personal problems mean nothing in a business transaction.  She is expected to fulfill the terms she agreed to.

Corday likes Missy and chose not to sue her until he really had to, which came a year after her exit. Perhaps she thought she was no longer bound to those terms. I love Missy’s Jennifer but Corday was right to sue her when she tried to join Bold (likely at her creepy husband’s behest). 

I do too. In fact, she’s probably already been recast.

Well, it's still on Missy.  She didn't have lawyers, advisors, or agents to advise her against making moves towards another soap?  At the end of the day Corday was right to sue.  It put Days in a hell of a bind.  They had to emergency recast, scrap spinoff plans, and move on with no notice because Missy had an affair.   Her creepy husband aside, MR was an adult and screwed up.  If she wanted to save her family that's absolutely fine, but she's still lucky they ever invited her back.  Unfortunately, nothing I have seen has made me think she's a good person and I don't even like CM as Jen but at least she's a reliable, seemingly nice human who will show up when she needs to.

It may tank the show & seal the deal that Peacock will not renew for another time. If they were smart they'd act fast & settle on her & rehire her & maybe those optics would outweigh the current & upcoming UGH. She's going to win at least the first half but it sounds like they've already dug in. It is amazing Corday has the nerve to say the claims are baseless given what is already on record. An attorney should have made him say "No comment."

Yes, I think in the end they will definitely end up settling a substantial amount of money on Ari. But, they will drag it out & wrangle & stupidly say what obviously did happen, did not & that will be in the news every day. And, California courts are far behind in timeliness. Plus, others could come forward or even a class action suit. Whoa.

    • 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?
