DAYS: March 2024 Discussion Thread

And, she looks so alone & there don't seem to be many people there. I had to laugh to keep from crying. 

DAYS Th. 3-21-24  An odd day even for DAYS! First the good news: No Konstantin! The show played it that today was the 1 yr anniversary of Abby's murder. Chad had an excellent scene about it & her murderer being free, but on the run, only it was with Leo. For once Leo looked great. Normal slacks with a crew neck sweater in a very bright primary color. Chad assigns him, for awhile anyway, to straight stories. Everett is MIA. Oh, the set for the paper looks larger. Still looks like a hotel room dressed as a dorm room impersonating a community theatre set! We didn't see Thomas & Charlotte. We did see Chad at graveside with humongous flowers. So Paulina is heading home from the hospital. Reporters rush them as they head out. The word "miracle" is tossed around.

Another Marlena/Maggie scene! Too bad it was ruined by this Konstantin crap.

EJ and Stefan seemed pretty good today. Their scenes today did seem like a bit of a pissing contest but it also seemed a lot more sophisticated than what we’ve seen before. A little unsure about Stefan though. I like how he was written today, but it was such a change from the spineless wimp he was when Clyde is ever around. Sudden changes like that are always kinda weird.

Nicole/Sloan was good today too. I hope at the payoff at the Christening is worth all this build up. The effects that it could have on both characters and their husbands would be really good to see.

Btw, why was Ava dressed like the Riddler?

Fingers crossed that Dee and Suzanne have settled whatever, alleged differences they had between them.  (Like sands through the hourglass, ladies!)

Firstly, Eric > Alex any day.  Man of the cloth, more like man in a towel, am I right?

Stefan's latest move, recording EJ, feels somewhat underwhelming in terms of strategic planning. It's frustrating to see characters like Stefan and EJ not utilizing Chad's access to the press to their advantage. For instance, why didn't Stefan involve Chad by sharing the recording, allowing him to leverage it against EJ by threatening to expose the DA's questionable dealings? The predictability of Stefan handing over his phone to EJ leaves little room for surprise, especially considering the absence of cloud storage in Salem, making erasing the recording a straightforward solution.

Despite these shortcomings, the nonchalant dismissal of Xander's legal troubles sets the stage for a significant confrontation once he inherits his wealth. The anticipation builds as various parties, including the DiMeras, Alex, and Konstantin, continue to stack grievances against him. This brewing conflict is likely to explode when Xander finally gains power and resources. While there's speculation that the slow reveal may be intentional until Ron's return, the ongoing accumulation of tensions promises an explosive resolution when Xander finally ascends to power.

I find Days very dull. Trying to do my part by putting it on and do other things because they count the streams. I notice that Days is usually #9 on Peacock and many times not even in the Top 10. They used to be higher. Can’t wait until Ron Carlivati is back. At least the show is interesting when he’s writing Days.

Sloan's baby is wrapped -- suffocated -- in so much blanket that it's laughable. Why does it look like the baby weighs under 3 lbs.? And why do the baby's cries sound like they're coming from the next room?

It's unbelievable how poorly this reads on the screen, and it has nothing to do with DAYS' budget.

Like people on here have said, maybe it’s time for a sequel to Never Say Never

That would be so good.

I hope they do something like that. That could stir up conflict for Xander and Sarah as well.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I've been thinking back to that scene the other day where Theresa explained to Tate how she actually ended up getting custody of him and I actually won't be surprised if after she eventually gets exposed that Theresa just decides to leave Tate with Brady indefinitely and just give up all of her parental rights before either heading back to California or going to prison, (or maybe she actually gets shipped off to prison in California for a very long stint).

On the very unlikely chance that she somehow sticks around after this storyline with Konstantin and Alex, I'm expecting for Theresa to just slip back into drugs and she just starts using again and gets high all the time while everybody pretty much ignores and shuns her because they're all pissed at her for the whole Alex/Xander situation until the writers either figure out what they want to do next or they just decide to kill her off permanently by having her die of a massive overdose.

Maybe they decided - finally - that life was just too short to nurse a feud. We can hope! 

To me EJ elevates Stefan but Stefan pulls down EJ. I'm at that "STFU Stefan" stage. 

I must confess I am tired of all this shite hanging on. I want some resolutions. Nicole's baby. Xander the rightful heir. 

Darn, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary!

Yeah, I keep thinking that eventually they'll have to switch EOB back to playing Gwen (I can only imagine how annoying it must be to wear that wig everyday on set).

Did the switch happen in October?  So, it's been 5 months.  And I would imagine that they are waiting for Ron to return for the reveal.  Then, I agree, Theresa will be written off to La La Land.  But, I hope it is not as sad as her abandoning her sobriety.

With the way Ron tossed Gwen aside, Idk.

There's not really that much story for Gwen anymore either... except for her to finally get back at Leo for his betrayal. 

Theresa has a lot more story opportunities, imo.

The black and green together didn't look that good lol

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.
