DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

Whoa. Wtf? Text echo.

That was a very exciting episode.

I mean, I'll suspend my disbelief that Justin has been carrying around that letter for a year, including in his tuxedo, but I guess they established that fact last week.  And, it's a bit odd that everyone just instantly believes Fiona, and they're willing to give Xander the estate, based only the word of a woman that they've never met.

I actually thought the amount of exposition that they got through in one episode, while maintaining some organic conversational style, was remarkable.  Maggie went through her entire marriage to Victor.  Xander and his mother reviewed their entire history.  And someone even ate Chanel's cake. 

I think it is weird that Gabi went to visit Will and Sonny, but there is no interaction between them the next day when he arrived for the wedding.  Like, why wouldn't they fly back together?

I thought Xander's Mother's name was going to be closer to Angelica, in order to explain the signature.  And I thought Xander's name was Alexandros (I may have misheard her call him Alexander), but those are trivial facts.

The episode was ok. Brady and Ava and too much Leo ruined the episode.

Robert Scott Wilson needs acting lessons. He sucks!

It was great seeing Sonny, Paul and Andrew.

@wingwalker

Colton Little mentioned in an interview recently that Andrew realizes that a commitment to relationship might not be as important as other things.

I enjoyed the episode.  It was good.  Echoing what @AbcNbc247 said about it being rushed.  It seems it takes us forever to get to a climax of a story on Days and everything happens jam packed into one episode when this could have played out for a week.   

I like Fiona so far.  Just immediately interrupting the wedding and exposing the secret lol.  A person arriving late would just quietly walk in take a seat. Not stroll down the aisle and ask everything about everyone in the middle of a ceremony.  Only on soaps!

Way too much Leo.  I guess Paul/Andrew might be in for some tension.  I always thought it was strange Andrew covered for Theresa so easily, but we also don't know very much about their relationship as siblings

I don't know how Brady can casually drink in the middle of the Pub.  EVERYONE in town walks in there daily and the Brady family owns the joint.  You would think he would get a hotel or go home and lock himself in a room instead drinking obvious martinis in public.

I had the same question. Plus it's a missed opportunity. I'd be OK with them ultimately making up or ultimately being at odds, but their journey to either of those points could have been interesting.

[AbcNbc247]

Well tbf, that’s just a normal reaction when Leo is around

I actually wouldn’t mind a Sonny/Paul/Andrew triangle though or Will coming back to make it a quad, but I haven’t heard anything that suggested that. 

I was hoping to see if Paulson had chemistry today, but of course we couldn’t have that. 

Interesting

Maybe some other people on the writing team need to be shown the door as well. 

I hate when they try to squeeze multiple episodes of drama into one. It ruins it and it practically diminishes everything that we’ve seen up until this point. I don’t get it. It can’t be because of episode guarantees or set usage or something.

And yeah, Justin definitely deserved a massive apology.

Btw....since you're a longtime viewer...of the four male gay characters are any related?

By the four I mean Will, Sonny, Paul and Andrew.

Days can flush Leo down the toilet with Carlivati gone.

Kim and Roman are siblings, so Andrew is first cousins with Sami. That makes Andrew and Will first cousins once removed.

Will and Andrew are related through Sami.  Sami's Andrew's cousin so I think that makes Will Andrew's second cousin.

[AbcNbc247]

Will and Andrew are cousins… so I wouldn’t mind seeing them beat the holy hell out of each other in the Brady Pub over Paul or Sonny

And Will and Paul aren’t blood related, but in a way, they’re still Uncle and Nephew so idk. 

As for Leo, I’m hoping and praying every day that we hear that the new writers are writing him out for good.

Thank you!

Thank you!

See this soap writes itself yet Ron Carlivati kept writing sh!t!

They could easily pair Andrew and Sonny with Will seething.

But do Will and Andrew even know of each other? Did they have scenes together back in the day?

I could see the gay cousins fighting over Sonny.

[AbcNbc247]

I’m sure they know each other, but I’m also pretty sure they’ve never had any scenes together. Kim and her kids had already left Salem by the time Will was born. 

And Beyond Salem was the first time we’d seen Andrew since the 90s

Edited July 22, 2024 by AbcNbc247

[Soapsuds]

Yet, they became a couple and slept together.

That’s ok. Sami and Lucas were step siblings when they wanted to get married

And Tripp dated pretty much all of his step cousins.

And Xander and Sarah too

About the letter.

Konstantin said they made a full duplicate minus the signature. Nothing had to be changed as both babies had the same name. Fiona said today only Victor and Titus used Alexandros. 

I assume the will itself then named Alexander Kiriakis just no clarity on which one. Kind of clever if they were more clear on it.
