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.)

Also Wayne & Lynn have 2 adult sons. One is an actor. He could easily be a "Roman clone". Also Hank Northrup would have the look so many DAYS guy fans would really love.

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.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).     Which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
    • Okay, now it's my turn to ask about the Thorntons, namely Edna. Did she and Opal have any scenes together? I ask because I was familiar with Opal first, so when I found out about Edna, my biased mind saw her as the first try for that type of character.
    • There is no dispute that Jill Farren Phelps had a successful career in daytime based on longevity, but that does not preclude discussion and dislike of her decisions at various shows. Sure there may have been some misogyny involved BITD(we don't know as I don't recall JFP ever mentioning that) but the head of CBS Daytime at that point was a woman and there were other women involved BTS. I think that so long as an EP could deliver, or at least talk a good game they would be respected.  
    • It surprises/disappoints me too that GL's ratings during '89-'93 don't reflect the quality of the show. But when I call it great soap, I'm not defining that by ratings either.  I'm probably in the minority, but I think Reilly takes something intangible with him when he goes. There's a sense of humor that just disappears in '93. 
    • Ok, I know nothing about Another World except their catchy intro song from long ago, but this makes me want to catch!  That crazy mother keeping her son's girlfriend or wife hostage, wow! 
    • And maybe Hotel could have been placed at 9pm Tues instead of Paper Dolls. Not that I thing it was a surefire thing but at least viewers were familiar with the show and it might have done better than PD. ABC's line up was pretty threadbare at that point. And with a big guest star to launch the season - Elizabeth Taylor- the numbers would have been there initially.
