DAYS: June 2024 Discussion Thread

Obviously this is a soap and Xander's mother is going to be very relevant and not as bad as Xander makes her out to be.   I just think in real life there are real reasons people go no contact with immediate family and it's so pushy to make someone forgive someone else.  Trust your husband/partner/significant other when they say there are multiple reasons they don't talk to this person, especially someone as important as Xander's own mother.  We have no reason to believe Xander is lying about the trauma he experienced with his mother and Sarah should really just respect that.

It's also one of those soap things, when it's like, you've not seen your mother for years, let's invite her to our wedding (which will probably take place in someone's living room).  I mean, whatever happened to just sending an email, or a DM?  Who wants to reunite at a wedding?

And it's also like Xander/Sarah's 3rd wedding lol.  Like the fact they have a kid now will make Xander's mom change her entire ways when her own child didn't?  It's just a strange agenda to push now after Sarah not caring at all about Xander's family previously.  I obviously get why it's happening, but not every strained relationship can be resolved like a fairytale.  Sarah is very much dictating who Xander has relationships with, but Xander hasn't brought up Sarah inviting her sister Noel who slept with Rex and she doesn't talk too.

Well, it's sounds more likely Xander's mom will bring a bottle of whiskey instead lol.  I feel like Noel(le) (wiki has a different spelling of her name than what I remember on screen) is more likely to buy her something off her registry and might bring her mom Liz to sing as well.  More of a win.

There was too much Rafe and Stefan today but everything else was good.

Billy Flynn killed it once again. It really is crazy how he hasn’t won an Emmy in these last few years. As for the storyline, I’m glad that this is happening but I’m still really worried as to how this is going to play out. And why the rewrite? The original explanation was really lousy but we saw Abigail get murdered. Drugs weren’t mentioned once. I hope we get an answer to all these questions sooner or later. 

Eric and Nicole were good as well. They didn’t do much today but just seeing them in scenes together is always enjoyable. They still got that magic lol

I'm so over Stefan and Brandon Barash. He needs to go!

They continue to use that same awful roach motel for remotes.

The best part of today's show was Eric and Nicole scenes and the MT scenes with EJ.

It's dumb, but I guess the loophole is that Clyde is the one who recounted the story of killing Abigail, right? (Maybe I'm mixing my stupid stories up, though.) So the flashbacks we saw could be what he WANTED people to think so that his drug ring wouldn't be exposed. 

It's still very stupid, but I think they have a little wiggle room to play with.

Stefan is one of those characters without a real purpose.  His stuff with Ava was interesting a while back and I assume she will be in his orbit once Steve Burton leaves.  At this point they need to recast Gabi.  BB gets far too much airtime for a character that just goes from scene to scene talking to others about Gabi but doing little to nothing to help Gabi get out lol.

But, does that assume that he was willing to go to prison with the foresight that two years later, Li's murder would allow him to force John and Steve to free him?  Or, did he think his sentence would be commuted like everyone else in Salem?

Stefan should've stayed dead and Jake should've never existed. Brandon Barash is not needed in Salem. 

Just as in 1996 when critics said GL's Spaulding family are all the same character, this is how it is with EJ, "Kristen," and Stefan. Cut at least one of them loose. 

(Sorry Stacy, you'll never replace Eileen)

I know it's just TV blah, blah, blah, but how is a cop from Salem going to arrest a criminal in Montana?  We live in America, police don't have jurisdiction across the country.

And why was Goldman's arrest off-screen?

All that being said, I enjoyed the Lucas and Ava scene.  DAYS is very good at friendships, and I would like to see Ava and Lucas have a platonic relationship based on advising each other how not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Rafe and Stefan were odd.  Not only because of the unnecessary flashback, but also because this seems to be the first time that they've connected since Gabi went to prison.  I'm sure they've been in a scene together, but Rafe thanking Stefan for sticking by Gabi seemed so weird, given that they've not talked about her together for months. 

I am eager to know how long Clyde has known that Abigail was alive, because I think that will change a lot of the issues that I have with the story.  So, I'm willing to suspend judgement.

    • 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.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
