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.

    • 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.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
