DAYS: July 2024 Discussion Thread

I thought the same thing. If I remember correctly, several posters used to call him "The Writer" because of that, back in the day. 

The Kate-Abe soap is something that has the possibility to be interesting. But Ron does not enjoy writing for Days, I don't expect anything interesting to come out of it.

Michael Easton returns as Tanner. He is a doctor now. Eventually we find out that he has used many different names in different cities. He is Stefano and Laura's son! No wait, he is Doug and Susan's son! Susan returns played by an Asian actress! Now he wants to kill John. Wait, he is John's brother! He sleeps with Ava, Nicole, Chloe. They all have his babies.
He is murdered. He has an evil twin. Wait, the twin is th nice one. He ends up in prison.  
Yep, I could see him returning to Days.

What a great opening scene

I really miss the annual 4th of July picnic though.

Xander and Sarah were really sweet today, but I’m looking forward to when their lives get blown to hell again lol 

The Alex/Justin scenes were good too. I’m glad that Days is taking the route of having Alex be a dick to Justin. It’s just seems natural considering the situation that they’re in. We really needed to see more of that. Plus, their scenes seemed very balanced out and not just blatantly pro-Alex. Can you imagine what those scenes would have been like if they were written two years ago lol I just hope that Justin gets the chance to knock his ass out before they find out the truth. 

Tate’s plan is kind of stupid though. I mean, what kind of camp doesn’t allow camper’s parents to visit them? There’s still a lot of holes in the plan, especially considering Aaron’s part in it. And I really think Days is missing an opportunity to cause problems for Tate/Holly by not having Tate be upset and angry about the whole Brady/Theresa/Alex mess. I wonder who was watching them at the end though. And even though she’s Tate’s sister, Kristen’s little demon spawn is not necessary in their storyline. 

Btw, why was Aaron wearing one of Leo’s shirts?

And you know that if Ron was writing it, those different names would be Caleb from Port Charles and John from Llanview

Both Chanel/Johnny and even Stefan and Gabi are interracial couplings as well.  If by "adult" you mean boring I can agree that Jada/Rafe fit the bill.

The show needs to find someone new for Stephanie.  Shelly Hennig's Stephanie had a pretty rich romantic history that the show could mine instead of creating a past love we never saw.

They could always bring back Jeremy. Or I wouldn't even mind her being reunited with Chad, for a little while anyway.

Plus, now that Lucas is gone, Jeremy could be the one who has the teenage son to mix it up with Tate and Holly

Although Jeremy would be interesting for the Abby storyline, I wonder what his age would be in relation to his Aunt Jennifer?  Like, how much older is he than Gwen (storywise)?  I know age is relative in Salem.  But, it would be intriguing to think about is he in the Eric/Brady generation of characters, or does he remain in the slightly younger Stephanie and Chad grouping?

Oy, I hope I haven't opened a Pandora's Box, and now we're going to get three pages of snark about Michael Easton being cast as Jeremy

I believe Jeremy was the same or very close in age to Stephanie.  He was part of the Stephanie, Abby, Chelsea crowd.  I would assume he would stay in that age range.  I can't remember when the show said Gwen was born, but he wouldn't be much older than her if at all.  I wouldn't bump him up in age.

ME would be waaaaaaaaaaay too old for Jeremy.  He has a better chance at getting cast as Mike lol.

They could very plausibly cast Jeremy as 35-ish. They have him and Nathan both sitting out there as fairly blank-slate Hortons who have history with Stephanie, too. Actually kind of surprised they didn't just cast Blake as one of them and do a bunch of, "You remind me of your cousin Nick!" schtick.

Elia and Abigail had zoom event last weekend and Blake wasn't even mentioned so he probably will be gone from the show 

For Abigail as Stephanie they need to do something for her that doesn't involve romantic relationships because that is all they have written for her character she went from Alex to Chad to Everett/Bobby and that is the biggest weakness of her character currently

They need to do More with Stephanie besides just having every guy with her almost every year since she has been back  and for Stephanie they make it worse by having her propping the Male characters she has been with and Abigail Klein I think her strongest stuff as Stephanie has been the scenes between Stephanie and Jada

I mean, it is a quandary why a newspaper needs a PR agent? I get an ad agency, but putting a positive spin on things seems like something a paper would want to avoid. 

Stephanie has two big clients, The Spectator, and Titan, but she also seems to have a lot of free time.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
