DAYS: March 2024 Discussion Thread

Yeah and RoboJohn was actually totally fine staying that way forever. RoboJohn used to make audibly laugh out loud. Drake was hilarious. RoboJohn was such a dick too

That's what I was asking.

Yes I am going to grab the gif of John slamming Marlena into a door because it's hilarious and also abuse etc so I am not advocating it, but still makes me laugh.  I can't find the actual scene but this is a fantastic silly montage. At approx 5:30 in

Okay.  I just wasn't clear.  John was healthy and of mostly sound mind.  He just wanted nothing to do with his past life.

[Antoyne]

Oh my gosh the slam into the door and then the way he looks at the other woman

. Pure camp.

It's so funny.  It cracks me up every time.  Marlena survived so it's all good lol.  

His smirk is hilarious too.

[Contessa Donatella]

OMG! That is hilarious!

EJ annoyed me today.

I get why he’s gunning for Tate so hard, but it seems so heavy handed sometimes. But I do like what Holly’s trying to do. It could lead to good storyline for her and Tate in the future. They just need some friends their own age. But I think that this is a lot better than her just having amnesia.

At the same time, I don’t really get why Harris is sending Xander up the river, when he’s in a similar situation to Holly. 

And, I like the way Sarah was used today. Having a character interact with characters that she doesn’t usually interact with is always good. 

I also thought it was kinda sweet when Tripp called Wendy his wife

Still now six episodes behind. I watched YR and GH instead late last night.

I know it is no longer the 1990s

And I know it is not chivalrous to comment on a woman's features

But, Holly's bushy eyebrows are distracting to me (emphasis on the personal to avoid replies from people defending bushy brows).

Holly's eyebrows are a bit too dark for her hair, but I also feel like that's a trendy thing.

Also, I keep forgetting that Stefan shot Harris.  It is kind of ironic that Steve Burton is recovering from a gunshot wound on two different networks.  I guess 'wincing in pain' is the only thing he can emote?

Anyhoo, it seems like they've written Stefan into a corner now that he's confessed to EJ.  Also, Goldman and Clyde have no reason to defend Stefan.  So, I'm interested to know how that will play out.

Once again, I must raise concerns about the pacing. Why is it so challenging for DAYS to juggle Paulina's heart, the BobEtte mystery, the drug plot, and the baby switch concurrently? I'm not suggesting they all need to unfold in a single day, but surely we can manage more than one storyline per episode. These brief scenes, often spanning an entire episode for a single conversation, are to blame. Take, for instance, Sarah and Harris sharing two significant pieces of information—the pain medication and Harris's reaction to Xander's unjust accusation. It shouldn't have taken nearly the entire hour to convey just those two points.

Ehhh… not as distracting as Talia’s

Damn Talia's eyebrows.  They aren't as distracting as John's either.

[Khan]

Listen, DAYS fans, once you've glimpsed the unnatural acts that are Cameron Mathison's Lee Press-On Eyebrows, no one else's brows will phase you.

[j swift]

@Khan I'll see your two Cameron Mathison press-on eyebrows and raise you one Eric Martsolf over-trimmed, oddly-dyed beard.  These former hunks are not aging gracefully, and yet somehow their jawlines are still sharp enough to cut glass.
