DAYS: August 2024 Discussion Thread

Well, damn. Theresa is actually going to prison. I'm kind of surprised she got such a light sentence and that E.J. even agreed to the plea deal but I guess it's better than nothing, especially since she could have very easily gotten away with her latest crimes. I didn't think the prosecution was going to be able to prove that she committed fraud beyond a reasonable doubt anyway, especially with Konstantin now gone, so the kidnapping was going to be the only crime that they could possibly pin on her.

I mean, this is probably the first time in her entire life that she's ever been held accountable for anything. I really hope that serving time in prison serves as a massive wakeup call and maybe it might allow her to finally turn things around. I have no faith in Ron but maybe at the very least the new writers might be able to give her some nuance that Ron is obviously incapable of giving her even if she actually never ends up getting redeemed.

On the bright side, maybe she will be able to get out just in time for Tate's high school graduation. Let's hope Ron isn't stupid enough to bring her back next year with a stupid WTD storyline and possible custody battle. Theresa needs a long break from this show. 

Also, this Fiona storyline feels like a massive waste of time to me. If she's not there to try to get a massive payday from Xander's newfound wealth, then what is she even doing on this show? And if this is the absolute best that they can do for Brady, then at this point they need to bring Chloe back to reunite with Brady and she can usher him off the canvas so that they can finally get the HEA that many fans have been waiting decades for.

Since Theresa seems to be going to jail it makes me wonder why they didn't just use Jen Lilley.  It gave EOB a few more months on the show, but it really wasn't worth much.  They probably could have just pre-taped enough JL's scenes and paced the airing of them to drag it out.  

I suppose recasting Tate would have made that impossible though.

Yeah I get that plus add the Tate recast.  I think I worded what I was trying to say wrong.  I don't know why it had to last longer than 12 weeks lol.  I think you realistically could have wrapped most this stuff up quicker and moved on.  It's not like the reveal is even shaking things up that much.

Yeah.  And Alarr got fired and Holly/Tate were gone for months, so I assume things were stalled or changed.  I am sort of like you-with how far ahead they tape and how weirdly the show paces things I can't really know if it was possible to do the whole thing in 12 weeks.

It was not possible, and even Jen Lilley admitted that when she was talking about what was going on. She was told they have twelve-weeks worth of scripts and she/her team even mentioned it was "impossible." Especially, if two-weeks into her four-week return, she had barely seen any of the scripts she thought she'd be getting, especially since Lilley was under the assumption Emily O'Brien was going to be filming for eight weeks as Theresa... which still does not lineup.

Plus, People reported TPTB planned to recast Theresa three-weeks prior to Lilley showing up with O'Brien, so they had things planned out.

Thanks!  I don't think I ever looked at the details.  I just always thought use Lilley around her schedule and do the story or don't use Lilley at all.  If there were already plans to recast it's silly Days made it weird by using JL briefly.   And just let EOB use her own hair.  A blonde wig wasn't fooling anyone that she wasn't the same actress that played Gwen 10 minutes ago.

Well, what's funny is Lilley offered to cut and dye her hair brunette and, they declined, asking her to go more blonde. It's clear they wanted to differentiate Gwen from Theresa, but we don't see them doing that to men. Robert Scott Wilson didn't shave his head or dye his hair... they just did the same thing they did before. It's BAD.

    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
