DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

So Wayne is younger lol.  Awesome.  Pay him a few bucks and bring him back.  

[j swift]

All things being equal, I'd rather see more build up of characters Johnny and/or Tate's age, versus a story focusing on the octogenarian set.  I've got nothing against either actor, but I also hardly notice Roman on a weekly basis.

[carolineg]

I think these two things are separate.  Yes, build up the younger generation.  It's needed.  Marlena (unfortunately) will not live forever.  But if you have a Roman that's still on screen make it the right one.  

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, I for one certainly notice him, constantly & I do not mean that in a good way either!!! No sirree, Josh, pretending to be a Roman Brady is just not a thing that works, AT ALL, on this show. I would prefer NO Roman to what we put up with. And, I personally feel pretty confident that that happens to be a prevailing opinion. I know people are almost always saying this on Twi/X, also on my FB forum & here, well, just look & see. 

But, the fact that it doesn't bother you, that of course is a blessing for you at least.

good for you

So, I guess now we know how Mark and NotAbigail are gonna be redeemed. Clyde’s plan is stupid and convoluted and sounds like it wasn’t properly thought out by the writing team. He seriously needs to die. So sick of this mf’er.

I wonder how he’s connected to the Greene’s though. 

Ava really needed to slap the s*it out of Stefan. I’m glad that she got to tell him off though. I was almost offended on her behalf lol I also found it a little ironic that misogyny was mentioned in their scene, especially considering who the head writer is (was)

And why exactly was the whole Gabi/Melinda thing written like a big joke today? Writing it like that is making this lousy storyline even worse. 

Chad did look hot though, and I liked his scenes with Kristen today. The only thing missing from that storyline is Kristen having more scenes with NotAbigail. Btw, I wonder why Billy Flynn has a tattoo of a flower on his arm

And, me when they said that Kristen was on the PTA

[Soapsuds]

Chad was hot shirtless!!❤

Hopefully, we will get to see Mark's mother.

Stefan is an a$$. He deserves to be alone. Glad Ava told him off. She should have slapped him.

Loved Kristen telling the nut job off!

Good episode.... I have a feeling all the Dimeras besides Chad with be involved in the blast aftermath.

[Liberty City]

Absolutely! And I want that.

[carolineg]

Yup. 

I know the show desperately needs to build the next generation up, but if we have to watch a Roman just let Josh retire and hire Wayne back.   It's not like Roman is used that often.  

[MichaelGL]

Ron keeps trying to make Clyde happen, but no matter what stories or plots he throws at him, I'll never see him in the same league as Stefano or Victor. 

 

Clyde's motivation for his scheme and how he's going about it, seems like a copy/paste of Konstantin.

Ugh to the most powerful and well connected villain ever, Clyde.

How exactly did Connie even know the layout of the mansion to know where the secret rooms were? That’s been annoying me.

Are we going to get another new DiMera set after the explosion?

It was nice to see Kristen being a protective big sister to Chad about Fake Abby.

[Vee]

It is beyond me how this hick dude named Clyde keeps coming back as some major villain. Come on.

[j swift]

The motivation in the F-Abby story make no sense.  So, Clyde has their mother hidden somewhere.  What is stopping F-Abby, or Marc, from asking the Dimera's for help? 

Also, Clyde wants to get out of the Max Prison, so they have a negotiation tactic.  Because access to the Dimera fortune (which only partially includes Chad), is meaningless if he is in lockup.

@Antoyne, I had the exact same issue with Connie's knowledge of mansion blueprints, given that she's never even visited the house.  Plus, how did she get in and out with the bomb?  And how did she ever learn how to make a time bomb?  Finally, if Melinda is wearing a bandage on her head because Connie struck her with a pipe, why is there no blood?

[Contessa Donatella]

Honest, I get it that James Read is an excellent actor but, gee whiz, Clyde is such a worthless character - and always has been! 

[Antoyne]

Aren’t there like 10 people and servants living in the mansion but Connie can come and go with the two knocked out women. And magically she knows how to build bombs and also brought that back into the house without a single soul noticing. Mercifully this stupid story looks like we’re extremely close to the finish line.

[AbcNbc247]

Any casting ideas?

He’s gotta have that supervillain… who’s not a guy that he can thirst for

But seriously, sometimes I think the days of the Stefano’s, Victor’s, Helena’s, James’ and other soap supervillains are over
