DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread

Idk.  Days home sets are so weird.  I am neither a Mayor of a town nor a millionaire or even remotely wealthy, but my house has a kitchen, living room, and dining room.  All separate spaces. It seems like all the newer sets have to have a visible kitchen for whatever reason.  I know a lot of apartments are designed like this, but it actually makes all the sets look so cramped.   

Unless it's a logistical impossibility like John/Marlena's ginormous penthouse with an endless hallway with all the rooms, I am okay with a living room just being the main place to film.  Then again Sloan's bed being her entire apartment even though she had an upstairs was not ideal either lol.  Something like Alex's new/old apartment works okay for me (even though it's next door to Stephanie's and has a completely different layout).

It doesn't seem like Roman will ever force Ava to pay rent so she has a good gig.  I really didn't mind the set.  I just didn't understand why the bed had to take up the entire space and you could literally see it at all times if you were in her apartment or even at her door lol.

Another Body&Soul episode. Another Jamey episode

Please register in order to view this content

These episodes are getting worse. So much fluff and pointless, out of character crap. Seriously, how many cuck dreams is Johnny gonna have? And of course, one of the families in Body&Soul would be named Manning

On the one hand, it’s good that the worst writer on the team is isolated to the worst storyline on the show, but on the other hand, it makes these episodes even more awful than they already are. 

And that ending? Are you [!@#$%^&*] serious????? Johnny doesn’t know the difference between his wife, a dark haired black girl and his cousin, a fair haired white girl???

That’s as bad as Liam mistaking the friggin doll for Hope on B&B

I’m so glad that this is the thing that (probably) got Ron fired. Too bad it didn’t get his bitchboy fired too.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday show of last week are the non B&S garbage.

I actually don't have Peacock anymore. I'm wondering if I should wait until the Body & Soul mess is over with before reactivating my account.

Ugh...another Body & Soul day and the "hilarious" rip off of Friends.  Fantastic!

I actually do like Dr. Burns deadpan delivery about everything.  He's kind of funny tbh.  

In Johnny's mild defense, from the angle we saw you could really only see Alex not who was, um, underneath him.  This should be the world's easiest situation to clear up though.  Chanel was with Kayla and Stephanie and Alex would just admit what they were doing.  I could see if Johnny left the room without confirmation and ran off to sleep with someone else irrationally, but there isn't even anyone on the canvas he's interested in/not related to.  This story is an instance where it might have been smart to keep Wendy/Tripp involved to make it a messy quad.

The logistical contortions that they went through in today's script to get Alex to be shirtless as much as possible were absurd.

I mean, were Alex and Stephanie supposed to be nude in the exam room?  In the middle of the hospital?  With cast, crew, and the whole medical staff present?  And without locking the door?

One assumes that we aren't supposed to believe that Johnny has a thought disorder which does not allow him to differentiate his dreams from reality.  But it defies all other explanations.

My biggest issue with B&S scripts is that they take over an entire episode.  It feels like filler, which seems unnecessary in a soap with so many stories going on at the same time.  It just stops time, and distracts from everything else.  For example, Gabi is at the hospital, why can't she be shown on the same day as a B&S episode and keep her momentum going?

I can’t believe how much time Days spends on Body and Soul. I pray this is why RC will be gone before next Summer. Days stupid filming schedule making us have to suffer through this for months. I wonder how many fans they’ll lose by the end of this.

Reactivate! 

There’s so much other stuff on Peacock that you can watch in the meantime

I guess 

But it’s such a weak, lazy and contrived way to cause trouble for Johnny and Chanel. And to reunite Alex/Stephanie. It seriously felt like a B&B move

I agree that the structure of it has been really weird, but I don’t mind it. Easier to FF when you know you’re not gonna miss anything

Yeah, I admit it. He was a bit of a saving grace for today

Another reason to reactivate

The rumor is that this is what got Ron fired, so hopefully, the new team will end it fast.

I swear, one mention of Sami could give the Johnny/Chanel conflict the gravitas that it needs. 

So far, Johnny just seems either sexist or silly for not allowing his actress-wife to play love scenes.  But, if he talked to Chanel about how often Sami cheated in relationships.  Or, if Chanel would talk to Johnny about how Sami's obsession with vengeance and control ruined her relationships.  Then, we could see how Johnny is informed by the history of his parents.  He would benefit from some vulnerability. 

I'm actually surprised that Jamey, who I recall being a big fan of Sami, doesn't bring in those bits of dialogue.  It's not as if his episodes are starved for repetition, and couldn't use a little more interesting padding. 

BTW, many years later, I still have no idea how Chanel being raised by Paulina affected her view of the world.  There is such little characterological exploration, and it is a pity.

SUSAN SEAFORTH HAYES & MADELYN KIENTZ NOW ON CONTRACT...

Please register in order to view this content

I checked with "Days" today and got confirmation that both Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) and Madelyn Kientz (Sophia) are now on contract, which was expected from their placement in the credits the last few weeks. Kientz went on contract as of the October 2 episode, while Seaforth Hayes went on contract with the October 4 episode. This is the first time Seaforth Hayes has been on contract since January 1993.

    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous.
