DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread

The cheese stands alone, but, I think the water gag is funny.

The water gag isn't funny anymore. It's gotten ridiculous and out of hand.

OK, now I'm confused about where's Jack living?!?

He seemed to be visiting from Boston, and then he left to return to Jennifer.  But, today, he comes sauntering into the Horton living room to chat with Chad.  So, where's he been? 

Does he stay at the Devereaux Estate (surely that's been sold off over the years)?  Is he hiding out with Tate and Holly?  Is he renting a room at the Pub? 

And, did anyone notice how dumb Alex was yesterday?  He was trying to be Cool-Stepdad to Tate about fake IDs, and then he inadvertently rats him out to Theresa by saying he saw Tate in the park.  Quel douche.

The Kerry scene went from 0-100 in seven seconds.  And why does Justin have more hair when he appears in Port Charles?

Soapsuds is right -- that scenery-chewing by Matt Ashford was something to behold.

What a terrible actor.

[DaytimeFan]

The lighting has a lot to do with it. DAYS' lighting is harsh and overhead while GH's is softer, so there's more reflection on his scalp.

The other thing is the makeup/hair team. The GH makeup team keeps most of the cast's skin very matte, while I think on DAYS the actors do a lot themselves, and it's likely the GH team adds powder to Wally's scalp to make it appear thicker and conceal any scalp.

Days of Our Lives has 4K lighting, and no 4K cameras. General Hospital has the opposite: they have 4K cameras and no 4K lighting.

Always Love me some Leo! Greg was great in today’s show. The actor who plays Kerry: bless his heart. Charity Rhamer awful. Beyond bad. He’s a good looking guy but it was too much for him to remember lines, the directors blocking and taking his shirt off all at once. Cringe. 

[ranger1rg]

I don't think Derek Yates (Kerry) was bad at all. The cringe acting in today's episode was from Matthew Ashford.

His final scene with Julie was beautiful. That was definitely one of the few good (but sad) parts of today. And judging by the way that their scene, and the Christmas episode too, were written, I really think Bill, Susan, everyone at Days, etc. knew that Bill was nearing the end of his life. As sad as that is, I’m also glad that they were all able to put that extra effort in and make the scene as good as it was. 

The rest of the episode was… ehhhh

It’s always good to see Marlena, but the way that she’s being used is kinda ridiculous. 

And yeah, still no sympathy for Leo. 

If Uncle wanted people to like him, then maybe he shouldn’t have written him as the worst person ever and as the gay equivalent to Harvey Weinstein.

Actually, the only thing his whining to Marlena did is made me remember how wasted Dimitri/Peter Porte was on Days.

Susan said Bill was completely blind at this point, so yes, I think everyone knew his time was growing short. The scene was very sweet and I'm glad they got to end on such a graceful note. 

I agree with you on the rest of the episode. I don't care about Leo's transformation, Abigail's coffin or Connie's plan. I was intrigued by Bobby/Everett at one point, and I still like Blake Berris' performance, but the story is so convoluted at this point it makes no sense. 

[Adriana]

Today's episode revealed Connie wants to kill Rafe because she thinks that will help Everett/Bobby get Jada back and this plan is Dumb because Jada would be first person to figure out what Connie is up to and at this moment I'm ready for Blake Berris character to be off the show now his character serves no purpose at all 

Ron must have seen on gh what they did years ago when Franco was almost killed and Elizabeth was suspicious about who could have done it because that is the only explanation I give for this Connie killing plot to kill Rafe just so Everett/Bobby can get Jada back

[VelekaCarruthers]

Today's episode has been posted on YouTube. Chris Dunn wrote the script. Alaar still listed but I don't believe she's written an episode since May 30. 

I tried to watch but I got vertigo staring at Kayla's outfit against the Horton living room curtains.

I have seen Marlena do a lot of crazy things.  I think watching RuPaul's drag race with Leo was an actual character low point for her today.

The rest of the episode was fine.  Doug and Julie were nice.
