DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread

There are no stakes.  Tate covered his bases for himself, but didn't think about how Holly was going to go on the run with him.  It's so silly.  The last thing Nicole needs right now is her idiotic daughter disappearing.  Holly is so selfish.

I've not heard anything that remotely sounded like "love on the run" & I don't think I missed any dialog. Last week what he described - and I found this totally incredulous - was Aaron impersonating him at sports camp & him hiding out somewhere local & seeing Holly daily on the sly. So, hiding in plain sight. Like they're not going to get caught by the second week, right?!!

I was just assuming they would leave town.  Their efforts to hide in Salem have caught easily by multiple people, multiple times.  Where is Tate going to stay this entire summer?  Is he going to rent an apartment? Does he have money?  They can't just meet in the park in the open.   It's all stupid.

Sweet Bits hasn't been leased yet, and it has a kitchen.  I mean, yes, it is caddy corner to the Pub, but nobody has ever been seen entering the building, so it provides ample coverage.

Is this common across all soaps, or am I misremembering how cliffhangers work?

I recall that in the good old days, when an episode ended on a cliffhanger, the next episode would start right where the action left off, or at least show the cliffhanger from another perspective.

But on DAYS, we often get 3-4 scenes before they resolve the cliffhanger.

For example, today we saw scenes with Holly & EJ, Tate, Alex & Aaron, and Stefan & Gabi before they finally returned to Nicole and Eric. The same thing happened on Monday: multiple scenes before returning to Gabi at the press conference in the square.

I know the viewer needs to watch a certain proportion of the episode for it to be counted in the viewing numbers, so I assume that is the reason they do it. But, I just want to get to the action without all this dilly-dallying.

Everything was great minus Tate and Holly.

I just loathe Tate and Holly.

Tate Scooby doo schemes are beyond stupid.

And yes Holly is a selfish b!tch!

Isn't she grounded? How is she coming and going with neither EJ or Nicole noticing or giving a damn?

The poor me excuses she gave Eric were ridiculous! Holly comes and goes as she pleases and has a burner phone.

Yeah… they really need to stop with this Leo and the water [!@#$%^&*]. Back from the dead is more believable than that happening, especially in this post-pandemic world. 

Xander looked hot, but this joke has literally been done to death. 

As for newbie Kerry, he’s hot too and the actor seemed to do a good job lol but his taste is something that’s really left to be desired. And how convenient that this is happening exactly one year after Leo screwed Dimitri for the first time. I knew he’d be over the “love of his life” by summertime. This is one of the many, many, many reasons why people don’t like him. And, sorry to say this, but he really needs to stop bitching and crying and be thankful that guys as hot as Kerry, Dimitri, etc. even gave him a second look. 

The rest of the episode wasn’t that good. It felt like a Jamey episode; every scene was overshadowed by big stupid jokes. 

Justin and Xander’s conversation was ok but they really needed to talk more about how Justin was feeling rather than why Victor “did” what he did. Still don’t see why Justin didn’t immediately demand a DNA test after finding out though. 

Jack/Chad was good too. Their talk was the most realistic thing about today and I liked it.

Kerry is hot!

Someone like him would never be interested in Leo.

The rest of the show was boring.

MA acting today was over the top.

I noticed Days is dropping in the viewing order.

    • 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.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
