DAYS: June 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I'm going to give DAYS two episodes for prom, no more than that.  The average viewer is, (how do I say this kindly?) mature.  I don't want to see a bunch of kids figuring out their first kiss.  Let's get back to the good stuff.

And, g%$ help us if we get another teen pregnancy.  Sometimes I think soap writers are too caught up in writing morality tales.  It is OK for a couple to have casual sex.  We don't need to punish female characters for being lustful by saddling them with an infant.

That being said, why are there more adults than teens at this prom?

Poor Aaron actor, we've judged him & found him lacking.

NO ONE is as bad as Frank is about keeping his favorites long past their expiration dates!

I am convinced that Ron has NO TASTE. Plus, yes, he thinks Leo is hilarious. No comment about Porn Stache. 

If we could only put together the good things about certain PTB.

I'm pretty much expecting Tate and Holly to be having a baby by this time next year. I mean, what else are they going to do with them anyway? At least hopefully Theresa won't be around to be a horrible influence on people. 

Also, isn't anybody sick and tired of Theresa already? Why is Ron devoting so much screen time to such an unlikable and awful character like her and also expect us to even care who she even ends up with? Her downfall and exit date really cannot come soon enough for me!

I found it a bit creepy that Stefan and Mark Greene were just hanging out watching Holly/Aaron go to prom.  Neither were needed for the scene.

Marlena and Eric get more of a pass since Brady and Tate live in her house and she invited Eric over. 

I love how Sophia went from Holly's bff to an amateur Sami Brady overnight.  That was a quick evolution for the character lol.

Also, what was Brady wearing?  That was an awful blazer.

I hate teen pregnancy stories and honestly most pregnancy stories, but to be fair Days hasn't done one since Will/Gabi and that was a long time ago.

I guess Allie wasn't technically a teen, but I'd throw her into the punishing-women-thru-pregnancy syndrome.  Jada is the lone survivor, and she got punished by having to be bored to death by Rafe.  I mean, there's something in the water in Salem that causes women to just be constantly fertile.

I almost included Allie, but her story was a bit different and I think she was already over 21.  I actually think the idea of a party girl getting drunk, being raped and getting pregnant is interesting, but there wasn't any real fall out there.  She instantly loved being a mom and adapted just fine.

Poor Jada....she deserves better.

HUH? No fallout?!!! Incorrectly thinking Tripp was her rapist, also baby daddy! The whole DNA issue with it actually being his very good looking brother?! Plus, in the very early days, Allie couldn't deal with the baby. Nicole was literally functioning as the new infant's parent while halfway parenting Allie! Baby Henry at first to Allie was a huge reminder of her rape & that is all he was. Of course, it worked out fabulously but you are forgetting those early months. Pregnant Allie & new mom Allie, she was a real mess. Also, probably some of her best acting!

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
