DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread

The writers are going to back to Alex and Stephanie pairing on the show and alot of viewers don't know about Adrienne who wasn't a longtime viewer of Days and I personally never saw that as a factor with Alex and Stephanie being paired when even Tate and Holly who are paired currently have some family ties

Today's episode Amazing scenes with Gabi and Jada together supporting each other and them discussing the pattern of the knife that was used on Rafe and Jada got the knife sent to a lab to be tested and then Gabi and Jada got bad news from Kayla about Rafe that he is in a coma

 

 

Other stuff in this episode rehashing of the baby stuff that happened with Leo and Nicole scenes together then Marlena and Ej stuff and Roman and Eric stuff with Jude

 

Everett/Bobby and Connie stuff again with them arguing about Rafe's stabbing and Everett/Bobby mentioned to Connie about how he couldn't be there for Jada because he still had to pretend to be Everett 

 

Connie and Leo interaction was not needed for this episode

Finally, Marlena was used effectively! Even though the phone call with Leo was not necessary.

Her scenes with EJ were the best part of today. It was definitely a conversation that needed to be had. The slap actually looked better than it did in the promo too. And she didn’t gasp or take a deep breath either

Too bad Nicole didn’t get to slap Leo though.

I also liked Roman encouraging Eric to see if it was still possible for him and Nicole to be together. 

As for Connie and Bobby-Everett, the storyline is still DOA and possibly bringing Leo into it, and into another storyline, makes it even worse. It really is crazy that Days spent so many years pushing younger characters as the leads, only to have the current lead character be a 50 year old manchild.

Today's script by David Kreizman. Directed by Sonia Blangiardo

I noticed something about the regular writers everytime Jada is going through a crisis they always have her dealing with stuff alone and looks like this situation with Rafe in a coma will be no different

Given his lethargic affect as an actor, will it be that different from how he plays his other scenes?

Also, how does a knife in the back, with zero loss of blood at the scene, cause a coma?  I mean, Connie's pretty short, I doubt her knocking Rafe on the back of his head did much damage.

Loved the EJ/Marlena scenes today.

Seriously, why didn't Connie just kill Everett instead?  That solves multiple problems and instead she's just creating new ones.

Leo is entirely awful, but I actually thought him calling Marlena to invite her over to watch Drag Race was a bit funny.  Mostly DH's facial expressions during the convo lol.

Gabi should join the police force.  She seems entirely more capable of solving a crime than Jada OR Rafe lol.  That long sleeve velvet dress in July makes me hot just thinking about though.

Thank you. My last two remaining brain cells strung it together before enduring the rest of Tuesday's episode, LOL.

That was my thought, as well. Seems unnecessarily complicated, so maybe they screwed up filming the flashbacks and have to insert something to explain it. Or they just won't explain it! Things barely make sense from day to day on this show anyway.

The whole plot is unnecessarily complicated.  Connie should have just left town ages ago.  Or just killed Bobby/Everett instead of cooking a whole new murder plot of the Police Commissioner.   Using the same knife?  Or a similar knife?  She's an idiot and deserves to get caught.  Jada just forgetting entirely about the knife and then picking it up off a hospital table probably completely tampered with the evidence though.  Also, since Harris quit there aren't any other cops in Salem to handle this case besides Jada?

    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim
