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.

    • Daphnee's performance very much reminded me of Anna Holbrook's on Another World when Sharlene was dealing with John and Felicia's affair. Angry but well controlled and believable. A good start for an Emmy reel. If there is one thing an evil Black mother is going to do, it is lock you out the house. Eva shouldn't have even bothered to go home.  Leslie calling Martin "Mr. President" was interesting. How much exactly does she know about the family and has someone higher up sent her to cause trouble? Anita's speech to Leslie was dignified like Geraldine Whitney (EON) or Kim Hughes (ATWT) would have gone off on somebody.
    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol    
    • yep.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory.
