DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

Dancing around the house, wildly or more sedately, either one, totally acceptable behavior for such swinging gals & guys as we have here among us.

While I don't approve of the IRL situation that provoked it, I like the idea of establishing a motivation for why Holly won't have Nicole in her life for major life events.  It becomes a defining feature of her character, like her villain origin story.  So, when she gets married, or goes on trial, it will make sense why Nicole isn't around; unlike Hope or Sami with their kids.

Doesn't everyone bust a move while they're planning their boyfriend's memorial service?

Sarah might know it was Fiona but isn't 100% sure

I've been wondering about this very thing. 

[j swift]

I definitely don't think Fiona is going to confess to driving the car in the resolve to today's cliffhanger, but she'll probably tell Xander that she and Brady go to AA meetings together, and he's very sorry.

That's my guess, too.

I just learned from watching the Emmys that Kristen Scott Thomas has been on the AppleTV series Slow Horses for four seasons!?! (written by Will Smith, but not that Will Smith). I am endlessly fascinated that Apple has all of these shows that receive zero press attention. 

What leads to the obvious question; do more people know that Serena is on DAYS or Kristen is on AppleTV?

Gotta admit, I didn’t see it at first but Chad and NotAbigail do have chemistry. Their scenes together today were actually really nice. Even though I hate that Clyde is behind all this, I’m interested in seeing this all play out. But I’ll still never understand why nobody is questioning why NotAbigail is fine with living in the Dimera mansion with a bunch of people who are supposed to be strangers to her

And Clyde just needs to die. Hopefully, the new writers make it happen. 

Not really buying this ‘New Alex’ thing though and I still think it’s a mistake to totally remove him from all the Kiriakis storylines. He never seemed like the type of person to just throw up his hands and pass everything over to Xander like it was nothing. Not from the way he was written and not from the way that RSW played him. He should be the villain in Xander’s storyline. 

Speaking of Xander, I thought Paul Telfer did a good job today too. Him absorbing the news about Brady and Fiona really grabbed my attention. But as glad as I am that Fiona didn’t confess the truth right away, I still think the storyline’s moving too fast.

Why are they in such a hurry? 

Another why. Why is Clyde still living & breathing?

[j swift]

Our prediction came true, next stop lottery tickets!

OK, the writing was on the wall that F-Abby wasn't evil, but Clyde's web of influence has yet to be demonstrated.  I guess there was the evening of three terrors, but how is he still texting threats from solitary.  He's not that cute that he could've seduced another guard.  And given that nobody is watching, what's stopping F-Abby from admitting the truth to Steve?

That being said, most of my issues go out the window when we get a scene like Chad going through his wedding album.  Are all three weddings in the one album?  Or are they a bound set?  And who calls for Sushi delivery, why not use the doordash app?

How can Xander fire Brady, doesn't the Black family own Basic Black, and he and Alex just agreed to a merger?  I think the missed opportunity is having Alex train Xander in what he learned about running the company.  Make them friends/comrades.  And then re-do the Dimeras versus the Kiriakus feud against Stefan and EJ.

I think Basic Black was sold to Titan. 

[j swift]

It's unclear from the recap of 11/18/23 @AbcNbc247, but I've always assumed it was more like a merger than being bought out.

Also, kind of funny that this may have been one of the last times we actually saw Brady go to work

I guess because Titan is the parent company, Xander has the authority to fire Brady. 

Alex would actually be the perfect person to run it now that Brady’s out. But unfortunately, we’re stuck with this Body&Soul crap and a forced Alex/Chanel thing.

No car, no job, no home, and somehow Brady is still one of the most eligible bachelors in Salem.  It's slim pickin' over at Small Bar.
