DAYS: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

I think it is a given that Kayla is not very good at taking DNA samples.  So, I don't trust the results.  But, if nu-Abby turns out to be Gwen (given Leo's phone call), I'm going to have a mini-fit.

Also, I feel like today confirmed my new conspiracy theory.  Streaming services need viewers to watch a certain portion of a show to certify it as being watched.  So, I think that is why they never start the episode from the cliffhanger.  For example, today, we didn't see the fallout from the accident until well into the episode.  I think that they are burying the resolutions so that we have to stream it long enough to count as being watched. 

Finally, it is another example of my favorite game, “What time is it in Salem?”  Drag race is over, Xander is waiting for the final ferry, Small Bar had its last call, but Kayla is still in the office seeing patients and the hospital lab is open and doing DNA tests.

You have to get to yesterday's show when Tate takes off his shirt.

It's worth the wait and much better than I expected.

Is it just me or does he remind us a little bit of Joshua Hoffman, only a little less beefier?

Or Gwen’s mother did

I fast-forward watched the last 3 episodes and thank God... that this show's got new writers coming in couple of months. I was not aware that Bradley Bell was not the worst, but... I guess I was wrong. It's laughably bad and cringe and... feels like a porno without the sex. Disturbing.

Disregard Monday’s episode. That script was worked on by the worst writer in existence

Billy Flynn was really good. It takes a lot to make something decent out of that absolute mess -- pretending that might be Abby. How did BF keep a straight face?

Was glad to again get a chance to LMAO at Kayla's doctor skills as she did NOTHING while telling Xander to leave the room and with Sarah lying there like a stiff. No one's checking Sarah, but Kayla does prepare a shot to give her. LOLOLOL

I think I'd have to try out both of them before making a final judgment on that.

I knew something was wrong.

I made it to August and this Connie character is really trying to make sure I don’t get any further. Why do we have a serial killer who is so campy and annoying. I should be scared but it’s not like they play her as a serious threat. Of course RC would make a serial killer comic relief.

I think the answer is to be like a shark and never go backward.

If I miss an episode, I just skip forward, it is not very difficult to keep up with the story.

Heck, I've missed years at a time and jumped right back in.

Sarah is in some sort of crisis almost as much as John and Marlena trade off getting kidnapped. I’m slowly getting caught up and I actually laughed in the episode where Jack and Chad discover John. The show literally can’t think of anything to do with two senior citizens except continuing to have them kidnapped

The fact that both Marlena/John reacted so casually to John being kidnapped again is funny to me.  Sure, they both were mildly concerned and discussed it at the Pub.  Marlena was honestly more concerned with Leo's behavior than the entire John kidnapping.

I wish the show would delve into a real health issue for John/Marlena.  Something more realistic.  It seemed like the show was thinking about it with John's aneurism/brain issues a few years back but it was all dropped.  I think the DHs would do a good job in that type of story but it might be touchy given their own ages.
