DAYS: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[BeeLol]

True, I didn't see that coming. (Will wonders never cease? )

[Contessa Donatella]

Just finished with the episode. GMAB! Imposter Abby's accomplice is Dr. Mark Greene?!!!!

I thought Tate looked odd in a tiny pair of brown shorts & nothing else. 

I cannot stand Sofia. Plus she is very boring. 

Correct me if I am wrong but we learned they have a significant lead about the hit-and-run car but did not let us in on what said lead is!!

Xander is already way too on edge!

Are Holly & Sarah friends?

[carolineg]

They got a partial license plate number for the car from video surveillance.  Jada was running matches today thus leading her to Brady

Holly/Sarah are related.  Holly is her niece.

I just wonder why no one questioned how Abigail grew several inches on top of getting a new face.

I don’t know what she was trying to do. I was trying to picture Missy playing that and I honestly just couldn’t see it. I dislike Missy as a person but she’s Jennifer to me. Cady was decent during the months she was playing the time jump. But during the pop ins she’s not very good.

8/19
In what world would Jack and Jennifer leave right after getting their daughter back from the dead. I wish Jennifer would trust that first instinct she had. 
 

Really enjoyed Gabi confronting Ava and Stefan. NuGabi has really owned the role now. I miss CB, but the new actress is doing really well. 

Connie the campy serial killer is soooo annoying for me. And I like Melinda so that’ll be annoying if she’s killed off too.

That Phillip dialog almost made me turn off the episode. Who is this supposed to appeal to?

I wish there was something other than Body and Soul to get all these characters to interact. The day RC is gone I want them to never reference and pretend Body and Soul never happened.

Didn’t Ava directly cause Papa Shawn’s death? Why is Roman sitting here being her therapist

EJ is so wrong for telling “Abby” all the messy sh.it for his own amusement. Are he and Chad even on bad terms right now?

I actually really bought the emotions between Stefan and Gabi in those scenes in her office. Really great.

Always love Chad and Julie scenes. Really makes Chad feel part of the Hortons even while Abby is dead.

Chad/Julie has been one of the bright spots of this absolutely dreadful last few years.

[carolineg]

I think even if it the premise was a movie or a tv show and not a soap it could work.   Say Kate optioned one of Will's scripts and decided to make it into a movie or a show.  You could basically have the same people work on the show/movie without it being on the nose goofy.  You'd lose Leo in the equation because there'd be no need for a writer and half the dialogue because it's mostly jokes.  I think all of us would be fine with that.

[AbcNbc247]

Even a soap could work. It's just the mocking and ridiculing and the treating it like a big joke is what's making this so lousy.

[j swift]

For me, it is the random self-awareness.

On the one hand, they are cognizant of SORASing, but they are still surprised when people return from the dead, have DID, or wear a latex mask. 

Actually, to their credit, nobody seems that blown away that Abigail has returned from the dead.  They seem pretty chill (except for Jennifer).

A J&M said on Twitter months ago when someone asked that it was the plane where she was conceived. A lot of people including me when I watched the last blast years thought she was conceived on the table. Given that was the jump off for bad seed, bad girl, vixen Sami along with her rape, bulimia and Carrie testimony. Days also seemed to put a lot of emphasis on the Conference table over the decades and given they can barely remember what they wrote months ago I would be surprised if they actually knew.

[carolineg]

I think the correct answer is the plane too.  I've always thought/heard that as well.  I just think the show changed it over the years, like you said, because the conference room table is more dramatic, more memorable, and easier to explain the Sami of it all.  Days has put an insane amount of emphasis on the John/Marlena affair over the years lol. 

[NiqueAlexis2020]

I think they see it as there crowning jewel moment of the last 30 years because it drove a lot of story, still does to this day. Sami's heel turn, Belle's conception, the end of Roman/Marlena, beginning of Jarlena, Carrie vs Sami, Will conception, the iconic legendary dynamic of Marlena vs Sami mother daughter relationship which only 2nd to Anna/Robin, Laura/Lesley as the best mother daughter relationship of all time on daytime. Honestly J&M is pretty much the only affair I have truly understood & didn't hate. I sympathize with everyone involved they were all truly victims of circumstances beyond their control. "Stefano killing Roman" The Pawn,RoJohn Marlena presumed death, Ophearlis The Pier, Isabella death and 2 Romans it was the perfect storm that made it so compelling and still able to drive story 3 decades. We will never see anything like that on this show again

And, may I just say THANK GOD for small favors. Not all of us celebrate the boink. However, I think that Deidre deserved an Emmy for this

I've been thinking. Who know the date of both - plane & table. I'm gonna look at the episodesagain. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, at times.
