DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

I guess.

It's just very clear this is a story Ron came up with on the fly after the strike for whatever reason.  There was no thought or depth put into Connie's motivations.  Ron just wanted a super villain who could run around town poisoning, stabbing people, and blowing up things.  Most of Connie's plans were very calculated and thought out (ie killing Bobby, setting it up as a suicide, and having him take the blame).  That implies some level of being aware her actions were wrong and had consequences.  

Anyhow, the story is wrapping up so it doesn't matter.  I just think the show could have taken a few beats to explain her behavior when Li was nice to her on one date.  Isolated? Lonely?  Abusive past?  History of obsessiveness or stalking? Anything, but one day she decided she was in love with Li and then killed him when he didn't reciprocate months after their one date.

What can we really say at this point? I mean, how about, "Poor Li?" I don't know, though. Actually I never liked Li. That may seem bad since the poor guy was murdered, killed, stabbed,  kept around in an annoying cardboard cut-out. BadAss Wendy Shin took all the marbles when it came to offspring of that family!!! I'm just glad, very glad, that Connie is GONE. She is gone, right?

Good riddance, Connie. Hope we never see your annoying ass again.

Today was a long one though. 46 minutes.

Too bad not that much happened though. I’m glad that Connie and everything that happened didn’t make everything all better for Gabi and Stefan. I really hope their storyline plays out for a while. I just think they need to even the playing field a little for the both of them. Both Gabi and Stefan should be written as angry and spiteful to each other but hurt and devastated in private. That, honestly, could help fans route for either one of them, instead of having them both be annoying and pathetic. Or evil and vindictive lol and they really need to have Stefan call Gabi out on the way she is. The same way that she does to him. 

And Johnny and Chanel were sweet today too but how are they just finding out about everything that happened lol btw they’re already gonna start producing episodes of Body&Soul? We should ask Michele Van Jean if the process can be done this quickly

Quickly?  It feels like Abe and Kate have been in pre-production since May!  They have a set.  They have a script.  They've hired the actors.  There's no need for promo since it is streaming.  LFG

Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but Connie slayed her final scene.  I thought she displayed the appropriate amount of pathos, without seeming OTT.  The kiss with Li was sweet, and she pulled at my heartstrings.

That being said, I don't know who will prosecute this case because Melinda and EJ have a conflict of interest.  And I still don't know if EJ wants to be the DA, given that Melinda is going back to Dimera (where she worked for a day, but still got a huge paycheck?).

I warned y’all. Today was not good. A complete Body&Soul day. Literally nothing happened. It almost felt like an add-on or something. With episodes like this, it’s no wonder Ron was fired.

Today also had Jamey Giddens’ grubby little fingers all over it too, so no wonder it was so bad. Literally the worst thing Ron ever did was hire this no talent kiss ass. He deserved firing just for that alone. 

Btw, if Hattie’s line, “It’s always the writer who takes the blame” is a little dig from Uncle Ron, all I gotta say is

I'm a month and a half behind and finally started to bite the bullet and play catch-up. The show is half-way decent when you subtract anything related to Body & Soul and the Ava/Stefan/Gabi garbage. 

Are they still overly and sloppily bronzing some actors' faces? Lord, Matt Ashford looked ridiculous, along with others...

Am I nuts that my biggest gripe with today's episode was Eric saying he'll take the pictures for free? 

Body&Soul is a big production, they could pay him.  And Kate and Abe don't owe him anything, nor is he related to them.  Is it a visa thing where he can't be employed in Salem while he's a residence of France? Why does this guy refuse to make money?  Nicole's going to grow tired of that really quickly.

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
