DAYS: August 2024 Discussion Thread

Agreed.

I like the storyline but it happened too soon after Fiona’s debut. We should have gotten to know more about Fiona first and then Sarah’s accident could have happened a little later. 

And one thing at least, we haven’t gotten stupid, campy Brigadoon jokes

I like Fiona, but Kristen's motives make no sense.

She towed the car so that Rachel wouldn't have a parent in prison? 

  1. The kid's already had a parent in prison (her mother).
  2. Brady would not return the favor.

Also, can I get a full headcount for who is living in the Kiriakis mansion (because I always confuse it with the Dimera flophouse)? Maggie, Bonnie, Justin, Holly, Sarah, Xander, Victoria, and Fiona?  I know Alex moved out.  Then at the Dimeras we've got, EJ, Kristen, Rachel, Johnny, Chanel, Chad, and faux-Abby?

It is a shame that they hooked up Fiona and Brady so quickly, because a Bonnie/Justin/Fiona triangle would've been more age appropriate and in-keeping with Justin and Victor's history of trading partners.

Who's Larry?

Too bad we didn’t get any follow up with Tate absorbing the news about Brady’s arrest. I hate when Days does things like that.

It could have really elevated today’s episode, which was a little boring.

But there were some good scenes though, particularly Chad/Thomas. I love the relationship that they have. They really are believable as father and son. 

Mark and Felicity were also pretty believable as brother and sister as well. I liked their scenes today too, even though it’s too bad that Mark’s probably gonna get ruined. I’m still interested in the storyline of him and NotAbigail and why they’re doing this, but at the same time, I also feel like Mark is another character with a lot of potential that’s being wasted. 

Connie/Melinda is still FF material.

And I really don’t like that Gabi is being so easily swayed by Connie. She’s a lot smarter than that. Btw, wtf was that nonsense of Gabi splitting up the rooms in half? That was a stupid thing to write.

Now the big question: are they all ensuites or are Chanel and Kristen sharing a bathroom?

I assume Abby and Gabi aren't sharing, since they just introduced themselves today.

What am I saying? Nobody in the soap universe goes to the loo unless they are taking a bubble bath.  How else could Melinda be tied to a bed for two days and still be wearing her pantsuit?

Also, doesn't feel much more natural for Chanel and Gabi to work together, rather than suddenly making her a soap star?  Chanel is fashionable, ambitious, and young.   She should be All-about-Eveing Gabi all the way to the top.

Damn… I thought we were getting a week without Body&Soul. The fact that it only appeared briefly in todays episode is a good thing though, but it does kinda have me dreading next week lol

So… Gabi/EJ?

Idk. I don’t mind it but I just don’t know lol I think we all expected this though. There’s no one else they could pair EJ with. I liked the way the tension was built up between them today. That’s how you build tension, unlike with that Alex/Chanel crap from last week or whatever. At the same time, I felt they kind of rushed it though. They should have had EJ give in a later time, instead of immediately after Gabi approached him. Sort of like with Drew/Willow on GH; you build it up so that it’s more believable and to also have the fans watching, waiting and hoping for it. I am interested in where they’re all going to go from here though. And I still think Connie’s part in it was unnecessary. 

Btw, Stephanie’s shoe box apartment got a renovation. It doesn’t look that good though. That green paint… Pass And I hope we, someday, find out the reason why the Bobby-Everett storyline was ended so abruptly. I have an idea but I’d like to know the truth.

I am ashamed to tell you all here that I have the same circular green vase with the fake dried grass flowers that Stephanie does in my home.  It's Amazon so Days and I have the same budget.

Anyhow, I thought EJ/Gabi was a bit of a surprise.  I mean, it makes sense when I think about it, but I wasn't expecting it.

Why is this Connie story dragging on?  Why is she telling Melinda about all her crimes?  Why doesn't she just kill Melinda and leave town?  

It's also strange Stephanie has to organize Bobby/Everett's funeral.  Are his parents dead?  Did he have no friends in Seattle?  No coworkers?

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
