DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

Roman is such a crucial character to me.  He started the Brady's being a thing on Days.  I get that Roman's role is redundant with John, but I will always hope Wayne reappears.  He's too important to be wasted away with whatever Josh Taylor has been doing for decades.  WN's Roman doesn't have to be paired with Marlena.  There are other options currently on canvas for him even outside of Kate.

In 2022, on "Beyond Salem 2",  Pandrew (Paul Narita and Andrew Donovan) were hunting some clues about Megan Hathaway.
They encountered Chris Kositcheck (played by Josh Taylor !!! ) at a health club he was running. Chris mentioned he was married to Savannah.

I think this could be written in the future:

  • It is revealed that the man currently running Brady Pub is actually ChrisK's twin who thinks he's Roman but isn't.  A third Kositchek brother -- not the original Chris, and not Jake the Strangler. 
    • (or the man currently running the Brady Pub is an unrelated doppelganger of ChrisK who has implanted memories of Roman)
  • We learn that the man running the health club in BeyondSalem2 is the RealChrisK.
  • Wayne returns as RealRoman to expose all this.
  • Drake remains John Black.
  • Edit to clarify: The Brady family agrees
    to allow the ChrisK lookalike (as played by JoshT) 
    to remain in Salem for whatever reason. 
    ... OR ... RealChrisK (as played by JoshT) returns to Salem. 
    (This would be a way to keep Corday happy by keeping JoshT employed.)

Nor do I.  It's just frustrating to see a great character reduced to running the Pub and missing crucial evidence about Gabi's disappearance.  You can also feel Deidre's indifference toward Josh, and while I don't like actors actively working against story, she's Deidre Hall.  At least with Wayne they would be believable exes with chemistry.

Today's ep 6/10

I appreciate that due to budgetary constraints, they use these time jumps.  Like Connie and Gabi struggling over the knife, and then the cut to Roman finding the room empty.  It is a clever way of avoiding too much blocking, or the need for stunts, and I like that it depends on the audience's imagination.  I don't need to see Connie dragging around Gabi and Melinda in order to get it. 

Also, it makes sense for Roman to investigate, as he was once the police commissioner, than for Paulina to go to Connie's apartment. It doesn't make sense why Gabi can't control her phone, or call someone during an emergency, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief for an episode.  Similar to how Connie wouldn't know the blueprints of the mansion, because the sooner this over, the better.

BTW, I was also thankful that Connie confessed why she stabbed Rafe, because I had completely forgotten the whole deal with Everett to off Rafe, so Jada would be single.  That was a plot that went nowhere fast.

It's not like Josh Taylor looks young and spry lol.  I get your point though.  I think Wayne looked quite a bit older than Drake for a long time, but now, not so much.  I think Roman is supposed to be older than Marlena.  I believe Marlena is closer to Kim's age.  Younger than Roman, but older than Kayla/Bo.

    • I love many things about BTG very much. For me, it's greatest strength is how the family relationships are so beautifully written. The deep love between family members while acknowledging each other's flaws--it's SO GOOD.  The best of the best is the two sister relationships: loving but very different sisters Dani and Nicole and adversarial sisters Kat and Eva. These two relationships can anchor the show for many years to come, in my opinion. (The one caveat is that the young and very talented Colby and Ambyr may want to leave the show sooner rather than later, but that's to be expected). My biggest problem with this show is this: Where are the romantic love stories? Where are the star-crossed lovers? Almost every character on this show is married, or in a committed relationship, or just fooling around. Right now the only potential for this are in the Ashley/Andre/Derek and Kat/Tomas/Eva situations. Like a lot of people, I feel the sooner they ditch Ashley and Derek, the better. I hate picking on actors, but the characters are so blah and bland it's like they're a parody of soap characters. I like Andre, and there's some indication they might have him become more serious about Dani, but I don't see that becoming a big love story. I could be wrong. Kat and Eva fighting over a man would be amazing. Over Tomas? No.  I've noticed on social media some people are starting to ship Kat and Jacob. I think that shows how much viewers long for a messy love story. There is much I enjoy about BTG and I have no intention of bailing on it. But over all my many years of watching soap operas, the thing that always got me the most excited about them was the question: "When are those two finally going to get together?"

        Some initial thoughts.   1) a Who's who back in the day with an assortment of well known performers. 2) Surprised Debra Messing would agree to play a conservative character 3) Not surprised a network didn't pick this up because showing a conservative that is human/likable is a no no in Hollywood LOL
    • Yes from when they went on Let’s Make a Deal too. Pam stole Forrester designs for Jackie M. Of course a month later we saw Nick, Lesley, Owen, and Bridget all exit in the same episode.
    • Great pairing that seemed to come out of the blue! Around that time, it felt like Sheffer/Goutman didn’t really know what to do with Emily or Hal. And KM and BH had surprisingly great chemistry. It was good for Emily especially because she was coming off those unsympathetic years with the Tom affair and then running the Intruder and essentially just being a busybody.
    • I think the issue with Lulu is less the character (which was the issue in the Julie Berman days under Guza II) and more the lack of nuance. The current GH team rarely writes nuance for any character or at least can't sustain it for long, or they reserve it for a favored few. I also think the rooting interest at GH BTS often remains on preferred characters or actors - BLQ/Setton - vs. Laura's kids. So it's easy to make Lulu the heavy if you think Brook Lynn and Chase are the money on this show. I don't, but I think FV does. And that's not to say I think Amanda Setton is bad in the role, or that I would get rid of BLQ. I don't trend towards either (though I do think that if Setton's personal beliefs keep getting in the way of material I would reluctantly recast). I think Brook Lynn is essential to use as a lead presently. But I don't think it needs to be the black and white dichotomy of suffering young matriarch BLQ and aggressor Lulu. While it's good that unlike in the Guza years they can recognize that Lulu can be obnoxious and rash, can be her own worst enemy and that that is part of the character, it can be toned down or given more layers than it has of late. There's nothing wrong there the writing can't fix.
    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
