DAYS: August 2024 Discussion Thread

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
