DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

I was going to mention it a while back. Drake is aging rather quickly.

The weight loss hasn't helped. I hope it isn't because of illness, but if it was a personal choice, it's a mistake. The guy was never overweight, but now is much too thin and has aged a ton.

Last week I said that both Drake on DAYS & Tristan on GH are killing me. I really cannot watch them without wanting to sit them down in a nice chair, put a blanket over their lap & bring them things, to drink, to eat, to read, they look so fragile!! 

[Soapsuds]

I noticed too how thin he looked. IMO too thin. I also thought if he might be ill.

I don’t really mind it either, it just seems a little forced, IMO

Brady and Ava are giving the classic two damaged people in love.  But, I'm grateful because he's not in a position to try to save her from anything right now.

I don't know exactly where their conflict will come from, and I am afraid Kristen will be the spoiler in that relationship.  You know Brady's weakness is either saving damsels or macking on mother figures. 

Hopefully they'll find some new angle to play with both characters, who feel a little played out right now.

Today was another good episode that felt like a soap and not a parody.

Yes Drake looks older but he doesn’t look like 95 year old Bill Hayes.

I forgot to mention, the other thing that made me laugh recently was that scene with Steve and Kayla.

They're talking about Abby's DNA test, and Steve mentioned that it would not be the first DNA test that's been wrong in Salem.  To which Kayla replied (while conveniently reminding the audience) that the only people who handled the test were her and Dr. Mark Greene.  But, I enjoyed the subtle shade of Salem U Hospital not being the most trustworthy institution in the US.  Especially since Tom Horton retired.

I mean off the top of my head Nicole, Belle, and Sarah have all had DNA mishaps.  Not to mention how often they've implanted the wrong embryo during IVF.  As well as the many prisoners who have escaped while under doctor's care. 

That place is a mess, and I would only seek treatment there if I knew that the ghost of Lexie Carver would cure me like Paulina.

OK, so I exaggerated a little.

Drake doesn't look great at this point, but maybe at his age he can't keep up with the extensive workout regime he used to have when he was younger?  Hence the weight loss.  Idk, I hate to speculate about someone's health.

Is today’s episode not uploading for anybody else either? 

[Soapsuds]

It's uploaded for me too, but I am on the west coast.  It's scary to have to watch the show without @AbcNbc247's recaps.  I like to know what I am getting into each day first lol.

[Contessa Donatella]

Spoiled, maybe?

[Soapsuds]

Yeah, I've been accustomed to his reviews. Let's me know if I should skip the episode or not.

I'm sure he's at work and missed seeing it this morning.
