DAYS: May 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Today, I recalled that it is an incredible coincidence that both Holly and Tate were carried by gestational hosts (not their biological parents).  It's some pretty messy storytelling that both Nicole and Theresa can lament that they weren't able to bond with their children as infants (in the same year).  Salem is in desperate need of an ethical OB-Gyn.

I have forgotten if Nicole knows that Leo was there when she gave birth.  It seems like a missed opportunity for her to harbor some resentment toward him for being partially responsible for the car crash that started the whole swap.  I guess that's another example of @AbcNbc247's theory about propping up Leo.

Abby's death seemed airtight.  At one point didn't they even try to say that Rolf couldn't bring her back?  Didn't they bury her in the backyard?  And, was she even working at The Spectator when she was killed?

Xander and Sarah were really sweet today. Let them be happy for a little while before it all gets blown to hell again. And I couldn’t be happier that they finally have an actual baby playing Victoria

I’m intrigued by Maggie’s plan to get Konstantin. And if it leads to him getting killed off lol I’d love it. He’s so ridiculous and annoying, he had me rooting for Alex in their scenes today. 

Speaking of Alex, I think him getting back with Theresa while two-timing her with Kristen is actually a really good idea. It’s make the whole mess that he’s in with Theresa even messier. I’m looking forward to when everything comes out even more now. And hopefully, it means that we’re gonna be spared an Alex/Kristen- typical Ron- annoying villain couple pairing. Kristen’s a lot of things but she’s definitely no one’s side piece. 

She thinks Gil must have been at the apartment to try and rape her and that Li was just in the wrong place at the wrong time 

Awwwwww

I think we can all agree Li was not the most popular or pivotal character on the show.  I still think the man deserves more than "wrong place, wrong time" as motivation for his murder.  It's hard for me to even believe bad guy Gil would brutally kill an innocent man just because he could not find Ava lol.

I mean, Li Chen, not exactly the type to create a clamor, or to escalate a thing that he stumbled onto? Or is it Shen? Anyway, we're talking about someone who was generally calm, cool, collected & I cannot imagine him creating a stir, making an issue out of something, unless it was with someone he was intimately acquainted with, like Gabi, but certainly not with Gil?!!! Why?

Everything to do with Holly/Nicole was the best part of today. Holly was so messy and bitchy today and I’m here for it. That’s the why she should be written, all the teens should be written like that actually. The relationship between her and Nicole and the fears that they both have and had over the years is really good dynamic that should be explored. Holly’s conversation with Marlena could play into that dynamic as well.

And of course, it was also the right decision to have Eric be the one to come to Nicole’s rescue when she was drunk. The cliffhanger was pretty good too. I wonder what EJ’s gonna do now. 

Btw, did EJ really think that he could keep the secret that he was CEO of Dimera again from Paulina and everybody? That’s pretty dumb lol 

All the stuff with Clyde was pointless, as always. I’ll never understand why Days hasn’t killed him off yet. My hatred aside, the character has more than run its course. If they’re worried about the show needing a villain, there are plenty of contract actors/characters on the canvas already who could fill that position.

I am a little confused why Kayla can't know about the Konstantin stuff, but Marlena can? It's strange to me how Steve keeps Kayla much more in the dark than John does with Marlena.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Wow, Holly was awful to Nicole today.  It's been a real shift in behavior just because she can't go to prom lol.  I like the turn.  It just came on really quickly.

The cliffhanger was good.   I wonder how Nicole is going to get out of that lol.  

I did laugh at EJ getting fired.  He was so confident he wouldn't.  It would have been so much easier for EJ to just re-open the stupid Gabi case.

All in all good show today.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
