DAYS: April 2024 Discussion Thread

It would be very silly if Everett turns out to be Ben and Jordan's brother.  And I don't know why Clyde wouldn't have recognized him during their visit in the prison, but it looks like that is where this is headed.  Especially because everyone in Salem is someone's long-lost child, unless they were born on screen. (Tripp, Stefan, Chad, John, etc...)

While I agree that historically Stephanie hasn't been cast as Horton-adjacent, she spent Thanksgiving with them, and she's close to the kids, so I will give that a pass.

I was distracted that Chad brought a thermos of coffee to the graveside.  Did Abby and Chad share something special about coffee?  Was it just that the props department didn't want to make a fake Starbucks cup?  It just seemed large and out of place.  At least make it a fake Stanley mug.

Why do Chanel and Johnny need to do it in the storeroom when they are staying at the hotel five feet away?  And now they're going on another honeymoon.  Also, a bit of heavy-handed foreshadowing that they mentioned the cabin being secluded.  Could a certain drug smuggling murderer escapee be nearby?

I don't claim to be an expert on this and don't check everyday, but usually when I do Days is in the top 10.  On the lower end, but still there.  I have no idea what Peacock wants Days to hit as far as numbers, but it seems to be in the mix of top ten shows.

Nothing happened on today's episode.

Chanel and Johnny are boring as hell.

Isn't it enough having Tripp and Wendy with that title too?

Are we sure Johnny is actually the child of Samantha Brady and EJ DiMera? I didn’t think it’d be possible for one of their offspring to be this bland and pointless. Honestly Allie was the more interesting twin and she’s a Horton.

I like Julie's relationship with both of them, but I still find it strange Stephanie doesn't go to events like Jude's christening and seems so removed from the Brady side of her family.  Chad walks a very good line of interacting with both his Horton side of the family and his Dimera side.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.
