DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[te.]

This is just very common. I think it's because they're obviously afraid of retribution from the ones in charge, but also because they're promoting that product at that point in time so speaking out against it would be seen as unprofessional. Once they're gone, obviously airing out the issues you had and how they've been "fixed" will be seen as promoting the "new" and "improved" show.

Lucci and Slezak deserved every penny and it would have been a crime for any man on their shows to have earned a cent more. Both ladies had over a decade on him at ABC, but the only man who I think merited anything close in terms of salary was David Canary. 

 

Anyone else picking up on these sly digs to Alex/RSW about talent/acting ability? Apparently there's someone bts who likes to take the piss out of him every now and then. Formerly, it was the affectation with the glasses.

Like every episode that comes after a Jamey episode, today was an improvement. But there were still some things that were stupid.

The Alex/Chanel thing is so forced and contrived. Plus, do they not realize that any kind of “tension” between them is being totally undercut by the fact that their scenes are being written like a big joke? Again, it could be so much better if it wasn’t all being written like that. Btw, I wonder if it’s that easy to cast a soap. 

There were some good scenes though. And the cliffhangers were pretty good. 

I liked the scenes between Stefan and NotAbigail. He really needed someone to talk to about everything that happened with Gabi and Ava and I’m glad that he got that today. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that they were doing a chem test with the two of them as well. I’m looking forward to what happens for Stefan tomorrow. I hope they don’t hold back, and we get some good, intense drama, like GH has been doing lately. And I’m so glad that Days is finally calling the Stefan/Abby-Gabby thing what it really was. 

I also liked Stephanie’s scenes with Chad. He was similar to Stefan, in that he just needed people to talk to about everything. First, Julie now Stephanie, and I like that. And, I liked that he mentioned how different NotAbigail was from Abigail. Maybe he’ll start suspecting something about the DNA test. Or Stephanie will start suspecting something too. 

But, why was Kate speaking like Allie isn’t her granddaughter when she was talking to Abe?

I enjoyed EJ and Gabi stuff in today's episode Dan and Cherie definitely have chemistry together so it will be interesting what happens going forward in upcoming episodes.

This is probably a really stupid question, but how do you pronounce Cherie's name?  Has anyone seen any interviews with her?  Is it like Sherry or Cherry?   It's not really important, but every time I read her name I wonder lol.

Thanks!  I am glad I wasn't the only one wondering.

Hollis Chambers as a recast Will Horton. He's only 2 years older than Chandler.

@AbcNbc247

What do you think too?

[AbcNbc247]

Honestly, I don’t know.

He’s got the look, but they gave him nothing on B&B. There’s so little to compare to that idk if he could make it as Will.

It's funny, because I was watching an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 the other day and was like "that's Robin Strasser", but it turned out to be Elaine Princi. How random.

[ranger1rg]

I'd be down with it, and I think Hollis Chambers has shown enough to do the part.

Let's face it, it's been at least 5 years since Chandler Massey avoided smirking in every scene. He's not irreplaceable.

This Body & Soul stuff is WRETCHED.

[ElleWoods]

DAYS should have be ashamed of the scenes between Fake Abby and Stefan. They way they constantly excuse Stefan for raping Abby is disgusting. We're supposed to accept this "forgiveness". Ron is gross. 

Chad asking Stephanie instead Julie, the cousin she was actually close to onscreen, to talk to "Abby" is stupid. 

I do not care about anything Body & Soul.

[j swift]

If they are doing a six way shake up of romantic characters, I wouldn't mind if it winds up being EJ/Gabi, Chad/Stephanie, and "Abigail"/Stefan.  I get the argument against Stefan and Abby, but given that this isn't Abby, I think it could be an interesting way to reform Stefan and a good obstacle for Stefan and Gabi's ultimate reunion.  I also like the idea of EJ being a loser in love once more before finding his next true love.  Now Brady just needs a love interest that is not his mother's age (the Ophelia-complex runs deep with that guy). 

That being said, do we all assume that there is no doubt that EJ and Gabi actually did the deed? Knocked boots?  Bumped uglies? Played the no pants dance?  I guess neither one was drunk, and they weren't under a magical drug.  But, it seemed so odd that neither of them had a clear recollection of the night before.  For example, why did EJ need to check if he wasn't wearing pants?

I predict that Thomas will believe that this is Abby, but Charlotte's no pushover for a pretty face.  She'll see right through her, just like her grandmother.
