DAYS: May 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

Lol.  I think Topaz is kind of nice.  I just don't know why Eric gave her ANOTHER necklace.  Sloan just got the Jude nameplate one and wears it in most her scenes.  Maybe a bracelet, ring or some earrings next time.

Rule of thumb: never give your partner anything that a stripper could name herself after.

I did have a feeling that there was some kind of policy in place. 

There were just so many changes that muddled a lot of the storylines. Holly, Bobby/Everett, even Konstantin.

Agreed.

It was good to see some drama, but they just needed to build it up better. 

And I rewatched the scene where EJ found out, and he didn’t say “commoner”

[Antoyne]

While I always like a good baby switch story, I really did want EJ and Nicole to work this time. Dan and Ari have great chemistry and it almost makes me forget how awful EJ became towards Nicole under James Scott.

[carolineg]

Man, I am going to pretend he did lol.  Sometimes his accent can get slightly muddled especially if I have Days on a lower volume.  What did he actually say?

[AbcNbc247]

His last line was, “More sorry than you know”

That makes much more sense.  I thought he said "mere commoner" since it was a one sided convo I thought it could have happened.  I wouldn't be shocked if the Dimera's considered themselves royalty in their own heads lol.

[AbcNbc247]

EJ definitely does

[j swift]

Although, I don't know why he would be mad at Eric and Nicole.  He knows that they slept together, and that's why he took two prior DNA tests.  The only subject of his ire should be Sloan.

[AbcNbc247]

I wouldn’t mind him taking out his anger on Eric and Nicole, instead of him keeping the secret just because he doesn’t want to lose her.

I always felt EJ worked better as a villain 

[carolineg]

He does.  That's why I didn't rewind because I wanted to keep the canon in my head that EJ didn't want Nicole to have Jude because it wasn't his royal blood.

I agree EJ works better as a villain.  I just think it's such a horrible thing to do to Nicole.  EJ did seem to really care about her and saw how devastated she was.  I thought EJ changed just enough to be above that especially since he's been in similar shoes with Sydney.

[j swift]

Agreed on EJ as a villain.

My point is that there's no logic in being angry at Eric and Nicole.  I know he's a jealous guy.  But, they didn't switch the DNA test.  Nicole has pledged her devotion to EJ.  And he's already punched Eric, and they seemed to get over it.

And, there's a certain soap logic that by giving Jude back to Nicole, she'd quit working with Eric and be eternally grateful to EJ, who has raised other men's children in the past for the woman he loved.

True. 

They could make it a matter of pride for EJ; not wanting to lose Nicole to Eric. 

Or he could blackmail Nicole into staying with him by threatening to reveal the truth about Daniel’s death to Holly. 

[carolineg]

I think a different story would have played out if AZ wasn't fired/left/whatever etc.  Facts are they need to break up EJ/Nicole pretty quickly.  The only thing I could think of to explain this is that EJ let his anger go more easily since the child was his and now that it's Eric/Nicole's child it brought that anger back to the surface and he realized he doesn't forgive the indiscretion* now.  

*I don't even know what to call the sex/affair/drugging situation.

I read some spoilers that said that Harris
