DAYS: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Efulton]

What did Zack and Suzanne say?

[Contessa Donatella]

Just finished today's show. Terrible news to report. I have discovered a previously unknown level of dislike for a soap storyline. This is like the 7th circle of hell or something. I honestly thought there was no way I could dislike B&S any more. Serves me right for thinking such a ridiculous thing. As I watch I take notes on the episode. I have letters a half page tall that say I HATE THIS! 

Dear Ken Corday, Please do us all a favor & pit this show out of our misery!

Hey, they actually remembered Stephanie’s time as a race car driver. Too bad she wasn’t as smart as her father today.

The Stefan/Gabi confrontation was good but I was a little disappointed that they held back. I was hoping we would get like a knock down, drag out screaming match between the two of them, along with the heartbreak, but we didn’t. Days really needs to start going there when they write scenes like this. 

I was liking the dynamic between Mark and Aaron today too, even though it might be time to recast Aaron lol the actor and character are charming but he really seems to be missing something. And considering what Billy Flynn said in the interview, I wonder if Mark being a villain was in the original plan, or if it was changed. 

As for Mark and NotAbigail, I’m glad the spoilers were true. The last thing Days needs is another “straight” guy tossing a woman away like garbage for Leo. Those kind of storylines are just sick and cruel.

Speaking that pain in the ass, I’m glad that Chad has people to talk to but ughhh, why Leo? It’s well past the time for the appendix of Days to get removed. Their friendship is

Btw, if Leo’s little speech about being a head writer of a soap was really Ron speaking, all I gotta say is, I know it’s hard work but… 

When Zach left last year, he gave an interview where he basically said how ridiculous is was that Sonny had become so friendly with Leo, the guy who sexually assaulted him. 

Not too long ago, Suzanne gave an interview where she said that she really disliked the Konstantin storyline and thought the relationship between him and Maggie was really out of character for her.

I mean... look at Eric Braeden. He smack-talks every single regime once they're out, and even Jeanne Cooper did it when Maria Arena was out.

The problem with an actor criticizing a past writer, especially with this show, is that they may return to the position one day. I suspect Ron would be even more vindictive than Jim Reilly was. 

[Liberty City]

With Alarr out, I doubt we'll be seeing the "writer" return.

[Efulton]

Thank you!  They were both correct.

I think the actor that plays Aaron is horrible at the actual acting part of his job, but he's cute and has charisma.  Maybe the show can work with that because I do find him likeable.

I feel like CJ plays Gabi a bit colder than CB did.  I think she's a very good recast and is doing well.  I just don't see Camila playing those scenes like that.

What kind of apartment does Stephanie live in?  As an apartment dweller most of my life there should be maintenance to fix that garbage disposal lol.

I think he's a better actor than the guy who plays his brother.

OMG

The Greene family has an odd sense of morality (re: summer camp tuition, etc.), but I assume a Dimera is responsible for the car accident that killed their parents.  So, I was racking my brain for recent car accidents.  I know Xander knocked Bonnie and Kristen off the road, Jennifer knocked over Gwen, and Maggie had her accident prior to the time jump.  I can't think of a Chad accident (if this is supposed to be directed at him).

And I'm eager to see how Clyde plays into this whole affair.

[carolineg]

I mean, neither have an emmy reel.  The guy that plays Aaron just seems to struggle a bit more with line delivery and real life emotions lol.  I think he's kind of charming in a dopey way, tbh.

Again, I think he can improve.  He's just not a natural at this.

[AbcNbc247]

And I hope more actors continue to speak out.

My dream is for Peter Porte to give an interview about how awful the Dimitri storyline was. 

[Soapsuds]

I doubt it.
