DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread

It's funny, I don't find myself missing Nicole.  As much I felt that the actress was treated was unjustly, Nicole was never my favorite character.  However, it feels like Holly forgiving Nicole is a bad move story-wise.  It is one thing to forgive Eric, and gain some insight into how she was transferring her anger on to Brady (although that is remarkable insight for a teen). But now that her estrangement from Nicole has ended, they will forever be burdened with having to explain her absence. 

For example, why won't Nicole be there for Holly's graduation?  De Gaulle airport is closed due to weather.  Why won't Nicole be at Holly's wedding?  Tate got sick and needed her. etc, etc...

Also, as I noted in the spoiler discussion, I hate it when production relies on hair and makeup to indicate a character change.  It is as if they think we are too dumb to recognize that this is now Kat and not F-Abby.  Meanwhile, the gal was kept locked in an apartment for months and still seemed to blow dry her hair straight.

-- I don't trust that this show considered when to add this Drake tribute. I don't believe they gave any thought to that at all. I think the tribute was ready, so they added it.

-- Unpopular opinion here, I know, but I've enjoyed JPL on his return. It's all over-the-top, but it seems intentional to me, and it works. It's hard to look away, I know that.

-- Javi might be a cliche so far, but the actor is pretty good.

I am going to give the show the benefit of the doubt.  It was a picture and a caption.  That probably took someone 10 mins, which is why I thought it was shocking it wasn't shown the Monday after he passed.  I am going to consider it intentional due to the fact John was mentioned numerous times today.

I really enjoyed the Maggie/Holly scenes, and that they’re continuing to build the relationship between the two of them. Maggie is, sort of, the steady hand that Holly needs in her life right now. And I like the advice that Maggie gave her about Tate.

Speaking of Tate, his storyline was also going really well today. And I still don’t mind him being dumb, because it actually makes sense to me. He’s a teenage boy; he’s supposed to be dumb and horny

Too bad that it sounds like

As for Chad and Cat, they deserve better than this. And seriously, if Shane was able to reach out to the prison in order to have Clyde be scrutinized more, can’t he just have him killed, or suicided?

Btw, are they really gonna go there with Brady/Ava?

Despite the ickiness of Ava having once been involved with John, I don't mind Brady/Ava.  TB/EM have nice chemistry.  It's better than Brady/Kristen round 1000 or whatever was happening between Ava/Roman lol.  Strange Ava isn't the least bit concerned about Stefan or wondering where he is.

I like Sofia/Tate.  They seem to be moving way too fast, but at the same time they've had more real conversations than Holly/Tate ever did before they decided they were in love after 1 date.  Besides, Sofia seems to come with way less drama and baggage at this point so I can see Tate just going for it.  He's 17.

I didn't love the Chad/Cat scenes.  I am over this story.

I agree: Eric Martsolf & Tamara Braun have some great chemistry... makes me wonder if he'd spark with Laura Wright.

 But, Jennifer Bransford would be first in line, right? But, I do appreciate them trying to put someone into Brady's orbit again that isn't the usual two suspects (Chloe/Nicole).

Sometimes things happen on DAYS and I don't question it, like why Kat has such an extensive wardrobe.

But, today, when the warden called Steve to say that Clyde escaped, it took me right out of the episode.  It could've been written that Steve got a news alert on his phone.  Or the radio in the pub could've been interrupted by the news. 

But, of all the people in Salem, why would the warden of a maximum security prison call Steve Johnson to say that Clyde escaped?  Steve and his family are in no immediate danger, he has no information about Clyde's whereabouts, and an escaped convict shouldn't be kept secret.  So, it makes no sense.

And, at some point, shouldn't the citizens of Salem begin to question why there is a prison escape almost every year right before Halloween?

    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.  
    • Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
    • I think she's her daughter but even if she's not, I can see Nicole forgiving her. The Duprees were kinda painting Eva out to be a victim of her deranged mother today with the way Anita was laying it on think on how horrible a mother she was. Even Nicole used language such as Eva being weaponized against them. She's a psychiatrist and can see that this is a clear case of emotional trauma and manipulation. Nicole is in her feelings right now as she should be but I think she will realize that Eva isnt the villian here and is a victim of sorts on her own
    • I do actually. Nicole seems like the forgiving type; plus she is a Psychiatrist. It is probably easy for her to be sympathetic. Absolutely agree.
    • Dana has proven to be beyond unhinged from day one.
